This week’s episode features Widows and Once Upon a Deadpool. Widows is a solid drama with many A-list actors in cameos, but it's not a run out and go see it this instant movie. Once Upon a Deadpool is the PG-13 version of Deadpool 2 bookended with Deadpool and Fred Savage. Those scenes are hilarious. But you probably already own Deadpool 2 so......
This week’s episode features Instant Family. It wants to be a comedy, and has some laughs, but is more effective when it gets to the heart of what it means to be an adoptive parent. For those in familiar with that kind of situation, or a step-parent situation, they will find it tugging on a heartstring or two. It's fine, but not one you have to rush to see on the big screen.
This week’s episode is about Robin Hood. Not horrible. But not good either. The story of Robin Hood has been done so many times and so much better than this.
This week’s episode is about two new movies. Creed II is one of the best of the entire Rocky franchise. And Ralph Breaks the Internet delivers entertainment for everyone. It's a satisfying sequel.

The Girl can wait, watch Dragon Tattoo instead and catch Spider's Web when it's on Netflix. Grindelwald will delight Harry Potter fans. It's meant to be seen on a large screen and there are many reveals about Harry Potter characters in this one. This is the second Fantastic Beasts film in a series of five and you will love it.

This week’s episode is about Bad Times at the El Royale, a Pulp Fiction-esque thriller told from the point-of-view of each character. It is entertaining and has a stellar cast.

This week’s episode is about Searching. A well done suspense film that is worth your time.
This week’s episode is about the #1 movie this past weekend, it's The Predator. It's just as good if not better than the original Predator movie with snappy dialogue and a feast of special effects.
This week’s episode is about Crazy Rich Asians. A genuinely funny film and perhaps the best rom-com since My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

This week’s episode is about Happytime Murders. You will have the opposite of a happy time if you choose to watch this move. Hard pass.

This week’s episode is about BlacKkKlansman. It’s a thumbs up if you are not easily offended. Adam says it is funny and entertaining.
This week’s episode is about Christopher Robin. Christopher Robin is going to get to you, just like the end of Toy Story 3. It's beautifully filmed and a sweet movie that is not unlike the movie Hook. As a matter of fact, it's so very like Hook, thematically, that you should re-watch Hook first.
This week’s episode is about Mission Impossible: Fallout. Listen to Jane and Adam talk about movie making, Tom Cruise running, what movies he needs to make, and how much they enjoyed the film. Short answer, see it on the big screen. In 3D at the very least.
This week’s episode is about Equalizer 2, and Hotel Transylvania 3 (kind of). E2 is a standard Denzel movie. Nothing wrong with it, but not what we’d call an “Essential See In Theatre” movie.
Skyscraper is a fun disaster movie. Even though most disasters are rarely fun. Jane Ellen and Adam Cravens tell you why you'll enjoy the ride and how much it's like Diehard, in a good way.
This has been a very entertaining summer for movie lovers. Tag is the perfect adult comedy and Ant-Man and the Wasp is even funnier than Ant-Man. Listen to what Jane and Adam have to say about the ever-so-likable Paul Rudd and Jeremy Renner, for starters. Geeking out will ensue.
