Welcome to MOVIE Morning where I will be discussing movies and, occasionally, television. If you enjoy movie reviews, rankings and news coverage, there’s something here that you’ll enjoy
Hey everyone, welcome back to another review! Inside Out 2, the sequel to one of the most celebrated films Pixar (a FANTASTIC studio) has ever put out, has now hit theaters but the hype for this one just hasn't been there. I was looking forward to it and was very curious about what Pixar had to say about emotions during our teenage years as opposed to being a child but it's weird that it took 9 years. And an even weirder choice was waiting 9 years and not aging Riley up a little more. Anyways, we now have the film. Does it live up to the original? Find out in this review!Inside Out 2:Directed by: Kelsey MannScreenplay by: Dave Holstein, Meg LeFauveProduced by: Mark NielsenExecutive Producers: Pete Docter, Jonas Rivera, Dan ScanlonMusic by: Andrea DatzmanCinematography by: Adam Habib, Jonathan PytkoEditing by: Maurissa HorowitzCasting by: Natalie Lyon, Kevin ReherProduction Design by: Jason DeamerCast: Maya Hawke, Amy Poehler, Phyllis Smith, Lewis Black, Tony Hale, Liza Lapira, Ayo Edebiri, Adèle Exarchopoulos, Paul Walter HauserSynopsis: Teenager Riley’s mind headquarters is undergoing a sudden demolition to make room for something entirely unexpected: new Emotions! Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust, who’ve long been running a successful operation by all accounts, aren’t sure how to feel when Anxiety shows up. And it looks like she’s not alone.
Hey everybody, welcome back to MOVIE Morning! One of my most anticipated films of the year, Richard Linklater's Hit Man, has now hit theaters locally. It has been playing on Netflix in most markets for over a week now but that wasn't the case in my corner of the world where we're getting a full theatrical release. As a HUGE Linklater and Glen Powell fan, the early buzz surrounding this movie back during awards season got me really pumped to check this one out. I've finally seen it so here are my thoughts on whether or not this is one of Linklater's best!Hit Man:Directed by: Richard LinklaterScreenplay by: Richard Linklater & Glen PowellBased on the Texas Monthly Article by: Skip HollandsworthProduced by: Jason Bateman, Mike Blizzard, Michael Costigan, Richard Linklater, Glen PowellMusic by: Graham ReynoldsCinematography by: Shane F.

Hey everyone, the fourth Bad Boys film - Bad Boys: Ride or Die - has hit theaters globally. I only got into this franchise a couple of years ago and admittedly, I am not really a super fan of the Bad Boys films like I am for some of my favorite action franchises like Mission: Impossible. That being said, Will Smith and Martin Lawrence's chemistry always keeps these films alive and entertaining no matter what. I've also become a pretty big fan of the directing duo Adil & Bilall, who directed the previous Bad Boys film (BY FAR the best of the franchise up to that point), the best episodes of Ms. Marvel and the, unfortunately, canceled Batgirl film. So, does Bad Boys: Ride or Die serve as another solid entry in the franchise or is it staring to show signs of running out of gas? Find out in this review!Bad Boys: Ride or Die:Directed by: Adil El Arbi, Bilall FallahWritten by: Chris Bremner & Will BeallBased on Characters Created by: George GalloProduced by: Jerry Bruckheimer, Will Smith, Chad Oman, Doug BelgradExecutive Producers: Barry Waldman, Mike Stenson, James Lassiter, Jon Mone, Chris Bremner, Martin LawrenceMusic by: Lorne BalfeCinematography by: Robrecht HeyvaertEditing by: Asaf Eisenberg, Dan LebentalCasting by: Lindsay Graham, Mary VernieuProduction Design by: Jon BillingtonCast: Will Smith, Martin Lawrence, Vanessa Hudgens, Alexander Ludwig, Paola Nuñez, Eric Dane, Ioan Gruffudd, Jacob Scipio, Melanie Liburd, Tasha Smith, Rhea Seehorn, with Tiffany Haddish and Joe PantolianoSynopsis: After their late former Captain is framed, Lowrey and Burnett try to clear his name, only to end up on the run themselves.
Hey everybody, season 1 of the SPECTACULAR X-Men '97 has wrapped up its run on Disney+. have been EAGERLY awaiting covering the remainder of the season ever since I reviewed the first two episodes and how much I just LOVED them. While I do think the season does have its hiccups, this season is everything I love and have missed with the X-Men in the films and even recent comic runs. I will also be delving deep into spoiler plot lines so be warned before listening to this review! Enjoy!Synopsis: One year after Henry Peter Gyrich's assassination attempt on Professor Charles Xavier led to Xavier leaving Earth with the alien Shi'ar and being presumed dead, the X-Men continue his mission of defending mutants and humans alike.
Hey everyone, the series premiere (first two episodes) of the latest Star Wars series ‘The Acolyte’ has dropped on Disney+. Prior to seeing how these shows eventually turned out, this was one of my more anticipated projects from Disney Star Wars but shows like The Book of Boba Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi have killed most of my enthusiasm for this franchise. The trailers themselves also fell very flat. So, does The Acolyte continue the downward spiral of these Star Wars shows or will it inject new life into this fizzling saga? Find out in this SPOILER-FREE review of the first two episodes! Synopsis: An investigation into a shocking crime spree pits a respected Jedi Master against a dangerous warrior from his past. - Star Wars
Welcome back to another episode of MOVIE Morning as we discuss the first trailer for Sony and Marvel’s upcoming VENOM: THE LAST DANCE, the movie that seems to be Tom Hardy’s swan song playing this character. What I have I just witnessed? Rumors about the plot for this third entry have been circulating for a year now but now seeing the trailer, it’s pretty impressive how much they’ve been able to hide from us until now. Here, I discuss my initial reaction to the trailer and the potential plot implications of a Symbiote invasion, as well as how this trilogy could close out!
Hey everyone... Garfield returns to the big screen in a new animated adaptation! The Garfield Movie is the latest summer 2024 blockbuster but one of the first to be directly aimed at kids so it's going to be interesting to see how the box office shapes up for this film over the next couple of weeks. While I was pretty big on reading Garfield comics on newspapers when I was younger, I can't exactly say that this is one of the IPs from my childhood that I've been clamoring to get rebooted. So, does The Garfield Movie provide innocent family fun and feel true to the character... or is it a generic 'kids' film? Find out in this review!The Garfield Movie:Directed by: Mark DindalScreenplay by: Paul A.

Oh, what a day. What a lovely day! Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga - one of my absolute most anticipated movies of the entire year, let alone the summer movie season - has hit theaters. Straight from the mind of mastermind George Miller, Furiosa is the prequel to the universally beloved Mad Max: Fury Road, one of the greatest action movies ever made. I have LOVED Miller's Mad Max franchise for years now but does Furiosa deliver another EPIC, killer adventure through the Wasteland? Find out in this SPOILER-FREE review!Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga:Directed by: George MillerWritten by: George Miller, Nick LathourisProduced by: George Miller, Doug MitchellExecutive Producers: Dean Hood, Pete Chiappetta, Andrew Lary, Anthony TittanegroMusic by: Tom HolkenborgCinematography by: Simon DugganEditing by: Eliot Knapman, Margaret SixelCasting by: Nikki BarrettProduction Design by: Colin GibsonCostume Design by: Jenny BeavanCast: Anya Taylor-Joy, Chris Hemsworth, Tom Burke, Lachy Hulme, Alyla BrowneSynopsis: As the world falls, young Furiosa is snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers into the hands of a great biker horde led by the warlord Dementus.

Hey everyone, John Krasinski's latest film 'IF' has hit theaters globally! I absolutely LOVED his two 'A Quiet Place' films and I love that, instead of continuing in his sandbox, he Krasinski decided to do something wildly different for his next film: what he has called a film for his kids. So, is IF the charming (and tearjerking) family event of the summer or is it a little forgettable? Find out in this review!IF:Written and Directed by: John KrasinskiProduced by: Allyson Seeger, p.g.a., John Krasinski, p.g.a., Andrew Form, p.g.a., Ryan ReynoldsExecutive Producers: John J.

Hey everyone, "what a wonderful day!" Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, one of my most anticipated movies of the year, has now hit theaters! I absolutely loved the previous trilogy, particular the latter two films directed by Matt Reeves (who went on to direct The Batman). The trailers for this film and how it seemed like this movie was going to handle the legacy of Caesar seemed awesome to me. So, is Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes a worthy continuation of one of the best reboots in film history? Find out in this SPOILER-FREE review!Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes:Directed by: Wes BallWritten by: Josh Friedman, Rick Jaffa, Amanda Silver, Patrick AisonProduced by: Wes Ball, Joe Hartwick, Jr., Rick Jaffa, Amanda Silver, Jason ReedExecutive Producers: Peter Chernin, Jenno ToppingMusic by: John PaesanoCinematography by: Gyula PadosEditing by: Dirk Westervelt, Dan ZimmermanCasting by: Dylan Jury, Debra ZaneProduction Design by: Daniel T.

As a new tyrannical ape leader builds his empire, one young ape undertakes a harrowing journey that will cause him to question all that he has known about the past and to make choices that will define a future for apes and humans alike.
Hey everyone, the day so many of us have been long-anticipating has finally arrived! James Gunn has dropped the first FULL LOOK at David Corenswet's Superman suit in the upcoming Superman film (formerly known as Superman: Legacy). This is EASILY my most anticipated upcoming movie because of how much I ADORE all of James Gunn's comic book films and how much Superman, as a character and role model, has meant to me ever since I was a child. In this episode, I break down some details in the suit that have been HEAVILY debated among fans, my thoughts on them and how the suit stacks up against previous theatrical interpretations!
Hello everybody, welcome to a (for those of you in the US, slightly early) review of the new Ryan Gosling & Emily Blunt film: The Fall Guy. This was easily one of my most anticipated films of the year; not because I watched the original 80s TV show but because I just loved the concept of creating a love letter to stuntmen, the unsung heroes of Hollywood, in an action comedy that's also being directed by a former stuntman. Plus, Ryan Gosling, maybe the most charismatic actor of this generation, was set to star! So... did The Fall Guy meet my lofty expectations or is this a bit of a generic action flick? Find out in this review!The Fall Guy:Directed by: David LeitchScreenplay by: Drew PearceBased on the television series created by: Glen A.

Hey everyone, Zack Snyder is back with the second part of his 'Rebel Moon Epic' - The Scargiver. This film is intended to close out the story set up in Part One and, apparently, set up four other sequels or something (WHY???). As someone who enjoyed Part One enough and thought there was potential for this universe, Part Two quickly drained all the hope I had for this 'franchise'. Find out why in this SPOILER-FREE review!

Hey everyone, Radio Silence's latest film Abigail has hit theaters! I've always enjoyed vampire flicks but more importantly, as I've been saying for years, I LOVE horror-comedies and Radio Silence seem to be doing a great job of keeping that blend of genres alive with Ready or Not, their two Scream films and now Abigail. So, is Abigail an instant classic of the vampire subset of the horror genre or is it a generic, disappointing one? Find out in this review!Abigail:Directed by: Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler GillettWritten by: Stephen Shields and Guy BusickProduced by: William Sherak, Paul Neinstein, James Vanderbilt, Tripp Vinson, Chad VillellaExecutive Producers: Ron Lynch, Macdara KelleherMusic by: Brian TylerCinematography by: Aaron MortonEditing by: Michael P.

Hey everyone, summer movie season is here once again! These days, the summer movie season pretty much lasts from like April all the way to the first week of September which is like half the year, reducing the special feeling of the season BUT it's where we get our super fun popcorn films so I'm ready to have a blast again this year. Today, I'll be counting down my top 10 most anticipated films of the upcoming summer season up to my most anticipated, starting from this week until the first week of September. Make sure to let me know what your most anticipated is in the Q&A section!
Hey everyone, the sequel to 2021's Ghostbusters: Afterlife and the fourth film in this continuity - Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire - has FINALLY hit theaters here! Better late than never! It has been a long 3-week wait for this film as this movie premiered pretty much EVERYWHERE else a while ago now, Traditionally though, I've never been the biggest Ghostbusters fan so does Frozen Empire match the charm, heart & fun of the previous film or does it fall into the never-ending well of forgettable and bland 2024 sequels? Find out in this review!Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire:Directed by: Gil KenanWritten by: Gil Kenan & Jason ReitmanBased on the 1984 film "Ghostbusters" by: Ivan ReitmanBased on the 1984 film "Ghostbusters" written by: Dan Aykroyd, Harold RamisProduced by: Jason Blumenfeld, Ivan Reitman, Jason ReitmanExecutive Producers: Dan Aykroyd, Amie Karp, Gil Kenan, Erica Mills, JoAnn Perritano, Eric ReichMusic by: Dario MarianelliCinematography by: Eric SteelbergEditing by: Nathan Orloff, Shane ReidCasting by: John PapsideraProduction Design by: Eve StewartCast: Mckenna Grace, Paul Rudd, Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard, Dan Aykroyd, Kumail Nanjiani, Patton Oswalt, Celeste O'Connor, Logan Kim, Emily Alyn Lind, James Acaster, Bill Murray, Ernie Hudson, Annie Potts, William AthertonSynopsis: The Spengler family returns to where it all started – the iconic New York City firehouse – to team up with the original Ghostbusters, who’ve developed a top-secret research lab to take busting ghosts to the next level.

Hey everyone, Alex Garland’s Civil War, the movie destined to be potentially the most polarizing film in 2024 has hit theaters globally. Being a casual fan of Garland’s previous work like Ex Machina and Annihilation, I was curious how this film would play for me considering I LOVED the trailers for this post-apocalyptic take on America. So, is Civil War going to stir up tones of controversy and discussion over the next few weeks or is it just a forgettable film? Find out in this review!

Hey everyone, welcome back to MOVIE Morning. The trailer for the sequel to one of the first movies I ever reviewed on the show, Joker, has now hit the internet. I loved the first Joker but have had almost zero excitement for this sequel; I’ve been a lot more intrigued and curious. During WB’s Cinemacon presentation today, they dropped the first full look at the movie so let’s discuss it.
Hey everyone, the greatest superhero (show) in the universe - INVINCIBLE - has finally wrapped up the second half of season 2 on Amazon Prime Video. It has been a long wait to see season 2 and an even longer wait to see season 2 wrap up (obviously), including an almost 4-month long break in between parts. I have LOVED both the comic book series as well as the show for years now and the first half of season 2 was a banger. I went into this really hoping that part 2 could cement season 2 of Invincible as one of the greatest seasons of superhero TV ever. Does it succeed or is it this show's first set of misfires? Find out in this SPOILER-FILLED review, where I also break down the ending and where the story could be going!
Hey everyone, the next installment of Legendary's MonsterVerse - Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire - has hit theaters globally. I've never been huge into Kaijus and Godzilla films but I surprisingly enjoyed Godzilla vs. Kong (or at least the 30% of it that had epic monster action that was awesome). With Adam Wingard returning to direct I was hopeful that GxK would lean harder into the stuff that worked about the last one. So, does Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire TOP GvK or is it one of the weaker installments in this universe? Find out in this SPOILER-FREE review!

Hey everyone, the 2024 remake of Road House, directed by Doug Liman and the insane amount of controversy on the release of this film, has now hit theatres. I hadn’t seen the original Road House until two months ago when the trailer for this film dropped and looked awesome.

Hey everyone, welcome back to MOVIE Morning. X-Men '97, the Marvel Studios revival of the original X-Men Animated Series has now begun on Disney+ with its first two episodes. I LOVE the X-Men and they've been out of the limelight for a few too many years so it's great to see iconic versions of these characters back on the small screen again. I also grew up watching the original 90's show which is still a blast and told some great stories but I was fascinated as to how that show would translate to modern day. So, does X-Men '97 continue the great social commentary and epic action of the original series... or is it yet another show on the pile of Disney+ disappointments? Find out in this SPOILER-FREE review.
Synopsis: X-Men '97 revisits the iconic era of the 1990s as The X-Men, a band of mutants who use their uncanny gifts to protect a world that hates and fears them, are challenged like never before, forced to face a dangerous and unexpected new future. - Marvel Animation
Hey everyone, it's finally happening! A Teen Titans movie is finally in the works at Warner Bros., and specifically DC Studios courtesy of James Gunn. The Hollywood Reporter revealed a couple of hours ago that Ana Noguiera (writer of the upcoming 'Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow') has been tapped to write the screenplay. The Teen Titans have featured some of my favorite DC heroes ever since I was a kid and I talk about the HUGE potential of this film, as well as the characters I'd like to see on the team, in this episode right here... as well as how they might fit into James Gunn's 10-year, 2-chapter plan for the DCU!
Hey everyone, with the HUGE (and surprise) box office success of Kung Fu Panda 4 so far, I wanted to continue the discussion about one of the most meaningful film franchises to me - the Kung Fu Panda series. Kung Fu Panda 2 was the first movie I EVER remember seeing in theaters and 13 years later, it's crazy that I am now sharing my ranking of all FOUR films in this franchise. This ranking will include SPOILERS for the first three films but NOT Kung Fu Panda 4. Let me know what your favorite Kung Fu Panda film is using the poll. Thanks for listening and enjoy!Movies to rank:Kung Fu Panda (2008)Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011)Kung Fu Panda 3 (2016)Kung Fu Panda 4 (2024)
Hey everyone, one of my most anticipated movies of the year - Kung Fu Panda 4 - has hit theaters. This franchise and these characters mean the absolute world to me. The first film has been one of my favorite most rewatched films since I was a child and Kung Fu Panda 2 is the first movie I remember seeing in theaters. I absolutely ADORE those first two films but Kung Fu Panda 3... was probably one of the most disappointing filmgoing experiences ever for me. But following Dreamworks' successes like The Bad Guys and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, I was hoping Kung Fu Panda 4 would land in that same category. So, does Kung Fu Panda 4 mark an AWESOME return to form for the Dragon Warrior or is it yet another disappointing entry?

Hey everyone, my 2nd most anticipated movie of 2024 - Dune: Part Two - has now hit theaters globally and I had the opportunity to see it on IMAX just a couple of days ago. Part One was one of my favorite movies of 2021 and Denis Villeneuve has to be one of, if not THE, greatest working directors today. He makes films that perfectly disaplay WHY I love going to the movies and started this show to begin with. And as a fan of the original novel by Frank Herbert, Part One started off with the potential to deliver the perfect Dune adaptation. So, will Dune: Part Two sweep next year's awards... or is it the first disappointmnet we've gotten from Denis?

Hey everyone, Matthew Vaughn's latest film 'Argylle' has hit theaters globally. The backstory behind this film and the original SPY book it's based on has been fascinating and as a huge Matthew Vaughn fan, that only increased my excitement above already being pumped.

Hey everyone, the first season of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters - the Monster-Verse spin-off show about the Monarch organization and its origins - just wrapped up with its finale on Apple TV+. I have not been a huge fan of this iteration of the Monster-Verse from WB but the glowing reviews for Monarch had me intrigued. I binged a number of the episodes a couple of weeks back to get caught up to watch the final few episodes as they released. So, does Monarch follow the trend of the movies in this franchise and focus on boring human characters... or is it a breath of fresh air? Find out in this review.Synopsis: Following the thunderous battle between Godzilla and the Titans that leveled San Francisco and the shocking revelation that monsters are real, “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters” tracks two siblings following in their father's footsteps to uncover their family's connection to the secretive organization known as Monarch - Apple TV+
Hey everyone, Marvel Studios' Echo - their first TV-MA rated streaming series and first to be released all at once - has dropped on Disney+. As someone who absolutely ADORES Daredevil and really enjoyed Hawkeye, I was hoping this show would be another win for the street-level corner of the MCU but all the behind-the-scenes troubles had me worried. Anyways, here is my SPOILER REVIEW of Echo.
Hey everyone, 2024 has arrived and we have a whole new slate of films to look forward to. From sequels, such as Kung Fu Panda 4 and Gladiator II, to prequels, such as Furiosa and A Quiet Place: Day One, to high-profile directors returning, with films such as Mickey 17 and IF, this year is PACKED with a wide variety of films. This most anticipated list is one of the hardest ones I've done in a while, partially because the slate does feel a little lighter on the comic book and action movie side but that just means that more movies will get represented here which is always great. So, here we go: my most anticipated movies of 2024!
Hello everyone and happy new year! 2024 has begun (pretty slowly for me personally) but another year has come and went so its time to do one of my favorite things on the show: rank my top 10 favorite movies of the previous year. 2023 was a wild year: surefire hits disappointed audiences AND bombed at the box office while there were many surprise breakout films as the highest grossing ones of the year. So, does my list reflect a lot of those trends or is it still dominated by blockbusters and films I often cover on the show? Find out in this episode and make sure to share what your favorite movie of 2023 was!!

Hey everyone, here we are... the end of the 10-year long, tumultuous journey that was the DCEU that initially started with Man of Steel. James Gunn's DCU kicks off with Creature Commandos next year but before we look to the future, I think its important to celebrate what we have, especially with me being one of the few (at least it seems like) defenders of the universe despite how messy it is. Spoilers will of course follow for all the films on this list. So, its time to rank the DCEU... ONE FINAL TIME.Movies & Shows to rank:Man of Steel (2013)Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)Suicide Squad (2016)Wonder Woman (2017)Justice League (2017)Aquaman (2018)Shazam!

Hey everyone, Zack Snyder's long-awaited REBEL MOON has finally landed on Netflix. As a fan of Snyder's work, for the most part, this was easily one of my most anticipated streaming releases of the entire year... even if I was hoping to see it in theaters. So, does the Zack Snyder being let off the leash allow him to create some of his best work yet... or does he get lost in the ambitious world building of his own universe? Find out in this SPOILER-FREE review.Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire:Directed by: Zack SnyderScreenplay by: Shay Hatten, Kurt Johnstad, Zack SnyderStory by: Zack SnyderProduced by: Wesley Coller, Eric Newman, Deborah Snyder, Zack SnyderExecutive Producers: Sarah Bowen, Shay Hatten, Kurt Johnstad, Bergen SwansonMusic by: Junkie XLCinematography by: Zack SnyderEdited by: Cody DornCasting by: Kristy CarlsonProduction Design by: Stefan Dechant, Stephen SwainCast: Sofia Boutella, Djimon Hounsou, Charlie Hunnam, Michiel Huisman, Ed Skrein, Staz Nair, Doona BaeSynopsis: When a peaceful colony on the edge of the galaxy finds itself threatened by the armies of the tyrannical Regent Balisarius, they dispatch Kora, a young woman with a mysterious past, to seek out warriors from neighboring planets to help them take a stand.
Hey everyone, the sequel to the 2018 $1B-dollar grossing Aquaman has now released and apparently, it is the final film of the DCEU and the current era of DC films... before James Gunn's DCU kicks off with Max's Creature Commandos in 2024. The first film in the DCU will be Gunn's Superman: Legacy. Getting back to Aquaman, I highly enjoyed the first movie and have really dug the trailers for this sequel but the rumors of extensive plot reworking and poor test screenings over the past two years have had me concerned. So, does James Wan deliver yet another over the top, bombastic blockbuster or does the DCEU end on a ginormous fizzle?

Hey everyone, this was a surprise. James Gunn officially confirmed, via Threads, that Matt Reeves’ upcoming Arkham series is actually going to be set in the upcoming DCU, that will kick off with Creature Commandos next year. I break down the news right here.
Hey everyone, what some are calling the cinematic family event of the holiday season - Wonka - has hit theaters. From the director of the two Paddington films comes a Willy Wonka prequel that (apparently) is meant to precede the events of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, starring Gene Wilder. I was interested in this movie based on the director alone, despite being a huge fan of the Roald Dahl story when I was younger. I went in hoping for a big and light-hearted fun time. Is that what I got? Find out in this review.Wonka:Directed by: Paul KingScreenplay by: Simon Barnaby & Paul KingStory by: Paul KingBased on characters created by: Roald DahlProduced by: Alexandra Derbyshire, David Herman, Luke KellyExecutive Producers: Cate Adams, Rosie Alison, Michael Siegel, Tim WellspringMusic by: Joby TalbotProduction Design by: Nathan CrowleyCinematography by: Chung-hoon ChungEditing by: Mark EversonCasting by: Nina GoldCostume Design by: Linda HemmingCast: Timothée Chalamet, Calah Lane, Keegan-Michael Key, Olivia Colman, Rowan Atkinson, Hugh Grant, Sally Hawkins, Matt Lucas, Mathew Boynton, Jim Carter, Tom Davis, Paterson JosephSynopsis: Willy Wonka – chock-full of ideas and determined to change the world one delectable bite at a time – is proof that the best things in life begin with a dream, and if you’re lucky enough to meet Willy Wonka, anything is possible.
Hey everyone, 3 weeks ago, Loki - Season 2 wrapped up on Disney+ and as promised, here is my full SPOILER review of season 2. Season 1 was one of my favorite shows of 2021 so this season had a lot to live up to. So, does Loki - Season 2 fulfill one of the greatest character arcs in the MCU or is it yet another disappointment in the MCU's Multiverse Saga? Find out in this review... and thanks for listening as always!
Hey everyone, better late than never! I, at long last, have finally 100% completed Sony's, Marvel's, Insomniac's Spider-Man 2. After a highly successful and astonishingly fantastic first game, they definitely took their time in getting this sequel out to us (of course, with Miles Morales coming in between). The game released on October 20 but because of a holiday and exams, I wasn't able to complete the story of the game 'till a couple of weeks ago and I finally completed EVERYTHING. Now, I can give you my full review of this game. The hype and excitement for this game from me and the Internet was through the roof... so, as a MASSIVE, lifelong Spider-Man fan, was I satisfied? Find out in this review.
Hey everyone, the Hunger Games prequel - The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes - released in theaters a week ago. I had the chance to see it last week but did not have time to review until today so I thought I'd share my thoughts, especially considering I am not really a fan of these movies and might give a unique perspective. So, does the latest Hunger Games film feel like more of the same or does this origin tale telling the story of the rise of Snow in Panem reinvigorate the franchise? Find out in this review.The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes:Directed by: Francis LawrenceScreenplay by: Michael Lesslie and Michael ArndtBased on the Novel by: Suzanne CollinsProduced by: Nina Jacobson, Brad Simpson, Francis LawrenceExecutive Producers: Suzanne Collins, Mika Saito, Jim Miller, Tim PalenMusic by: James Newton HowardCinematography by: Jo WillemsEditing by: Mark YoshikawaProduction Design by: Uli HanischCostume Design by: Trish SummervilleCast: Tom Blyth, Rachel Zegler, Peter Dinklage, Hunter Schafer, Josh AndrésRivera, Jason Schwartzman, and Viola DavisSynopsis: THE HUNGER GAMES: THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS & SNAKES follows a young Coriolanus (Tom Blyth) who is the last hope for his failing lineage, the once-proud Snow family that has fallen from grace in a post-war Capitol.

But after Lucy Gray’s charm captivates the audience of Panem, Snow sees an opportunity to shift their fates. With everything he has worked for hanging in the balance, Snow unites with Lucy Gray to turn the odds in their favor. Battling his instincts for both good and evil, Snow sets out on a race against time to survive and reveal if he will ultimately become a songbird or a snake. - Lionsgate
Hey everyone, the greatest superhero comic in the universe RETURNS... on the small screen. Season 2 of Invincible - one of my absolute favorite shows of all-time - finally began airing a couple of weeks ago and now, it's on a break in between episodes 4 and 5. The back half of season 2 is currently set to air in early 2024 but there has been no specified date yet. I thought now was the PERFECT time to give my thoughts on Invincible Season 2... so far. This review will include SPOILERS as all the episodes are now out on Prime Video and this is a season 2.Synopsis: Still reeling from Nolan’s betrayal in season one, Mark struggles to rebuild his life as he faces a host of new threats, all while battling his greatest fear - that he might become his father without even knowing it. - Amazon
Hey everyone, I'm back to break down more exciting news from James Gunn's Superman: Legacy. This time, we've learned Nicholas Hoult is officially set to play Lex Luthor in the film. In this episode, I break down the exciting news, my thoughts and whether or not Lex will be the main villain in the film. Enjoy!
Hey everyone, the day so many (including myself) have been waiting for has finally arrived. (It looks like) we have our first official casting from the MCU's upcoming Fantastic Four film, releasing in 2025 and to be directed by Matt Sharman (WandaVision). I have loved the F4 since I was a child and have been BEGGING for a good F4 film since then. I honestly feel like this could finally be it but a lot of my excitement and hope would hinge on the cast. Finally getting our first official casting, I break down the news and my thoughts right here.
Hey everyone, Marvel Studios' final film of 2023 - The Marvels - has now released in theaters. This was, by no means, my most anticipated comic book movie of the year because I don't think the first Captain Marvel is great and the trailers seemed like Thor: Love and Thunder 2.0. The lack of confidence from Marvel and Disney to screen this film in advance also made me nervous going on. I don't remember the last time I was as unenthused with an MCU movie going in, not helped by numerous articles and scoops about the messiness of the future of it right now. But alas, I have seen the film. Was it good? Find out in this review.

Hey everyone, sorry I've been gone for a number of weeks but the season 2 finale of Loki - Season 2 - 'Glorious Purpose' - debuted on Disney+ yesterday. What an incredible episode! In this breakdown, I discuss all the amazing moments of this finale and why the writers have managed to construct one of the best character arcs for Loki out of any character in the franchise... and of course, potential easter eggs and connections to future MCU titles and famous comic book runs. Thanks for listening as always!
Hey everyone... oh my god. Marvel Studios has officially made the decision to FIRE all the writers & remaining directors on Daredevil: Born Again, a pseudo-reboot of the Netflix show that was set to bring back Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock, Vincent D'onofrio as Kingpin, Jon Bernthal as the Punisher and potentially more people? Whether this series was going to function as a season 4 or be set in an entirely new continuity was very unclear. But with this news, we have learned that after filming just under half of its 18-episode season before the strikes, Kevin Feige and the Marvel executives have decided that the show just wasn't working... just like their current TV model. The series is now headed for a creative reset. In this breakdown of the shocking news, I give you my thoughts on this and why it could entail a promising future for Marvel TV on Disney+! Enjoy!
Hey everyone, here we are again with another episode of my favorite MCU show: Loki. Episode 2 of Season 2 has now aired (bright & early on a Friday morning) so it's time to discuss it. In this breakdown, I'll be giving you my thoughts & theories about where this show could be heading in the rest of Season 2, as well as some easter eggs you may have missed from the second episode. Enjoy!
Hey everyone, Star Wars: Ahsoka - the latest show from Lucasfilm on Disney+ - has now wrapped up its first season (or entire show depending on how things go with the plans for the future of the Favreau/Filoni Star Wars universe). After really enjoying episodes 1 and 2, I put out a review but since then, 6 more episodes have aired and quite a lot has changed... This review will contain SPOILERS for season 1 of Ahsoka but will not be a play-by-play of everything that happens. So, is Ahsoka yet another nail in the coffin for Star Wars on Disney+ or is it one of the shining examples of how to do it right? OR a bit of both? Find out my thoughts in this review.Synopsis: Former Jedi Knight Ahsoka Tano investigates an emerging threat to a vulnerable galaxy.
Hey everyone, welcome back to the FIRST MCU Disney+ episode breakdown in a very, very long time. My favorite Disney+ series - Loki - finally returns with the highly anticipated Season 2. There's almost an entirely new creative team and new clear villain but there are so many mysteries set up that could be CRUCIAL to this show and future Avengers films. I break all that and more down in this episode breakdown of Loki Season 2 Episode 1 'Ouroboros.' Enjoy!
Hey everyone... its been a couple of weeks but I am back with a review of the latest (and first in a while) ORIGINAL Sci-Fi blockbuster - The Creator - directed by the director of Rogue One and Godzilla. This is a film that has been on my radar ever since they 20th Century Studios put out the first trailer because I was just stunned by the visuals and that Disney and 20th Century genuinely let Gareth Edwards make an original, big budget film. It's also partially shot where I live! The film has now released in theaters worldwide and in this episode, I'll be giving you all my thoughts on it. Enjoy!The Creator:Directed by: Gareth EdwardsScreenplay by: Gareth Edwards, Chris WeitzStory by: Gareth EdwardsProduced by: Gareth Edwards, p.g.a., Kiri Hart, Jim Spencer, p.g.a., Arnon MilchanMusic by: Hans ZimmerCinematography by: Greig Fraser, Oren SofferEdited by: Hank Corwin, Scott Morris, Joe WalkerCasting by: Jina JayProduction Design by: James ClyneCast: John David Washington, Gemma Chan, Ken Watanabe, Sturgill Simpson, Madeleine Yuna Voyles, Allison JanneySynopsis: Amid a future war between the human race and the forces of artificial intelligence, Joshua, a hardened ex-special forces agent grieving the disappearance of his wife, is recruited to hunt down and kill the Creator, the elusive architect of advanced AI who has developed a mysterious weapon with the power to end the war—and mankind itself.
Hey everyone, the Writer's Strike is now officially and finally over with the writers getting a fair deal. Now, it's back to business for everyone in the entertainment and film industry, including James Gunn - director of the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy and now DC Studios Co-CEO. I have been absolutely pumped to see James Gunn's upcoming DCU, a soft reboot of the DCEU, that will kick off with the animated show 'Creature Commandos' in 2024. Gunn may possibly have the best track record out of any filmmaker working in this genre today and so far, nothing he's said or done has made me all that frustrated. The question is: will I start to understand the hesitation that some people have for his universe with this latest news? (No). Today, I'll be breaking down a couple of things James Gunn recently confirmed on Threads in regards to his DCU, including the return of a couple of familiar faces!
Hey everyone, My Adventures with Superman - an Anime-inspired Adult Swim Superman cartoon and one of the biggest surprises of the year - wrapped up with its Season 1 finale last week. This show has been a delight and I've been waiting very patiently to discuss my thoughts on it once the whole season is out. For those of you who have not checked it out yet, I'll be trying to convince you why you should give tis show a try if you're a Superman fan! Synopssis: Clark Kent builds his secret Superman identity and embraces his role as the hero of Metropolis, while sharing adventures and falling in love with Lois, a star investigative journalist, who also takes Jimmy Olsen under her wing.
I am very, VERY late but at last, I finally got to see Gran Turismo - a movie that's been on my radar ever since the trailer and premise came out. I thought it was so interesting g that they decided to base this film on a story that the video game IP inspired; it's certainly a different approach to a 'video game movie.' I am by no means a player of Gran Turismo but I've been hearing good things for 3 WHOLE weeks now... but anyways, here we are now. Enjoy my review of Gran Turismo and hear out why I think it's one of the biggest surprises of the year! Gran Turismo: Directed by: Neill Blomkamp Screenplay by: Jason Hall and Zach Baylin Story by: Jason Hall and Alex Tse Based on the PLAYSTATION STUDIOS video game Produced by: Doug Belgrad, Asad Qizilbash, Carter Swan, Dana Brunetti Executive Producers: Matthew Hirsch, Jason Hall, Kazunori Yamauchi, Hermen Hulst Music by: Lorne Balfe, Andrew Kawczynski Cinematography by: Jacques Jouffret Editing by: Austyn Daines, Colby Parker Jr., Eric Freidenberg (Co-Editor) Casting by: Raylin Sabo, Mary Vernieu Production Design by: Martin Whist Cast: David Harbour, Orlando Bloom, Archie Madekwe, Darren Barnet, Geri Halliwell Horner and Djimon Hounsou Synopsis: The ultimate wish fulfillment tale of a teenage Gran Turismo player whose gaming skills won him a series of Nissan competitions to become an actual professional racecar driver.
Hey everyone, we've got some VERY interesting new rumors in regards to Matt Reeves' upcoming THE BATMAN - PART II, continuing the epic crime saga set up in the first film and that would've continued in the Penguin series. I LOVED the first movie and some of what we've been hearing has me VERY, VERY intrigued. What I'll be going over here comes from X (formerly Twitter) scooper 'MyTimeToShineHello' and is by no means confirmed but I'll be discussing the film's potential production start date, rumored villain and news that Robin may be introduced. Enjoy!
Hey everyone, Avengers: Endgame released in theaters over 4 years ago.... and we've had tons of good and BAD comic book movies since. It opened and after under 3 months in theaters, it held a short-lived title of the biggest box office hit of all-time. It really marked a turning point in comic book movies, with many claiming that not only the MCU but also the genre peaking there. Because of that, I thought it would be fitting to count down my 10 favorite comic book movies since Endgame, from good to my absolute favorite over the past 4 years. Make sure to let me know what your favorite since Endgame has been on the Q&A section on Spotify! Note: This episode was recorded right after the opening of DC's Blue Beetle.
Hey everyone, the first two episodes of Ahsoka have dropped on Disney+. As a lifelong Star Wars fan, I have just been completely burnt out by these streaming shows of the past 2-3 years so I definitely went into this show with much lowered expectations than I would have, say, five years ago. However, I am fan of Star Wars: Rebels and watched that show right from the pilot until its pretty satisfying series finale. I was hoping Ahsoka would do that show and those wonderful characters justice so I went in modestly hopeful, particularly since I also like what I've seen of Rosario Dawson as a much older version of this character. This is a NON-SPOILER review of the premiere of Ahsoka, meant to tell you whether or not this show is worth watching. Please enjoy!
Hey everyone, the first official hero of the DCU (according to James Gunn) - Blue Beetle - has flown into theaters with a new film a couple of days ago. Now that you big DC fans and Blue Beetle Battalion members have had the chance to see the film, it is time to discuss the mid-credits scene. There is also a post-credits scene but since that is a joke, I wanted to discuss the mid-credits scene. It not only teases a potential future for Jaime and other Blue Beetles but also may provide a tease for an ongoing story in the wider DCU, focusing specifically on where a very prominent DC character (name dropped constantly in this film) could be. Obviously, SPOILERS AHEAD!
Hey everyone, the introduction of the first DCU hero (in the words of James Gunn) - Blue Beetle - has now arrived in theaters, with Xolo Maridueña in the title role. I have loved the character of Blue Beetle (albeit the Ted Kord version) for a long time and he's a character who's deserved more of a spotlight than he's been given by DC over the past few decades. This project was very interesting because it originally was set for an HBO Max release (now Max) but then moved to theatrical distribution. So, is Blue Beetle the film that will turn around DC's recent box office woes... or is it another generic superhero movie? Find out in this review!

Hey everyone, well, I've finally seen Barbie. I have been one of the few people in the Internet movie space who has not been all that excited for this film... despite being a pretty big fan of Greta Gerwig and a lot of the cast. The trailers haven't looked great to me and to be honest, the Film Twitter overhyping of this film kind of turned me off even more. With that said though, to celebrate what will probably once be a worldwide holiday - Barbenheimer - I decided to check this film out... even if it was a couple of weeks late. So, is this yet another film talked about more so due to the excessive memes and hype online or is it actually a deep film with interesting themes? Find out my thoughts in this review!

Hello everyone, welcome back to another movie review and today, we'll be discussing... sighs Meg 2: The Trench (AKA DEFINITELY everyone's most anticipated movie of the summer!). I was not a fan of the first The Meg so I wasn't exactly chomping at the bits (wink) to go see this sequel. Admittedly though, the trailers for this made it look way more self-aware and bonkers fun than the previous one which was just taking itself weirdly seriously for a movie with such bad dialogue. However, the lack of press screenings and low initial reviews definitely did not amp my excitement. I've now seen the film and it's time to review it, and I will answer whether or not this one is "better" than the first one. Enjoy! Meg 2: The Trench: Directed by: Ben Wheatley Screenplay by: Jon Hoeber & Erich Hoeber and Dean Georgaris Screen Story by: Dean Georgaris and Jon Hoeber & Erich Hoeber Based on the Novel "The Trench" by Steve Alten Produced by: Belle Avery, Lorenzo di Bonaventura Executive Producers: Cate Adams, Randy Greenberg, Erik Howsam, Ruigang Li, Gerald R.

Hey everyone… well, well, well - here we go again. We, once again, have more Fantastic Four casting news but this does come from one of the more reliable scoopers on the internet: Jeff Sneider. It seems as if Vanessa Kirby has been cast as Sue Storm while we have a few names now lined up for Johnny Storm. That and more will be broken down in this news update. As well as that, I will be giving my thoughts on the names we just got and why this song and dance is becoming REALLY tiring in my opinion. For those of you have been listening to my MCU coverage over the years, you’d know how excited I am about finally getting a proper and good F4 movie (hopefully). That being said, it’s been a long wait so does this news get me even more excited or am I not big on the casting rumors? Find out right here!
Hey everyone, we finally have an update on the highly-anticipated sequel to the previous two Scream films, which were helmed by the Radio Silence directors: Tyler Gillett and Matt Olpin. Earlier this year, I binged through the Scream films for the first time to make it to Scream VI with the rest of you all and I had an absolute blast. Now, we have official confirmation that they will be replaced by Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day (&2), Freaky). Radio Silence will remain on as executive producers though. In this episode, I break down everything we just learned about Scream 7 and discuss my thoughts on this major chnage.
Hey everyone, the trailer for Loki Season 2 (premiering October 6th on Disney+) has now been released online. I absolutely loved the first season of Loki; it is still, without question, my favorite of any of the Disney+ shows we've had... which was shocking because I was so annoyed of the character dying and constantly coming back. I was getting a little worried going into this season when we found out that the writers AND directors for this season had been switched up but the seemingly increased focus on Loki and Mobius certainly intrigued me. However, I have been pretty burnt out by the MCU lately, especially the Disney+ shows. So, does Loki Season 2 show promise... or does it look like it'll be yet another Marvel Disney+ disappointment? Find out my thoughts right here.
Hey everyone, uh... here we go again. The finale of Secret Invasion has now aired and look, for those who were listening to this show before the episodes dropped, you all know that I was actually really excited for this show because of the potential of the genre. Right off the bat, I was disappointed with the first episode and since then, it's certainly had many ups and downs. It has now culminated in the finale which some people claim save the show and others claim that it destroys it. What are my thoughts on the finale and the rest of the limited series? Find out in this SPOILER-FILLED review. Secret Invasion: All Episodes Directed by: Ali Selim Cast: Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Emilia Clarke, Olivia Colman, Dermot Mulroney, Don Cheadle Synopsis: Nick Fury and Talos discover a faction of shapeshifting Skrulls who have been infiltrating Earth for years.
Hey everyone, one of my favorite shows (if not my FAVORITE) is finally back with one new episode. Invincible, based off the WONDERFUL Image comic series spearheaded by Robert Kirkman, Corey Walker & Ryan Ottley, has returned with a special Atom Eve episode just in time for the announcement of the Season 2 release date (NOVEMBER 3!). This was a complete but very pleasant surprise so in this episode, I'm going to be giving you guys my review of this 55-minute special, focusing on asking the questions of: is this ESSENTIAL viewing for Invincible going into Season 2 and is it worth subscribing to Prime Video for alone? ENJOY!
Hey everyone, Oppenheimer is finally here! Christopher Nolan is back with a new movie on the biggest screens on Earth and of course, it was a marvel behold in IMAX. As a lifelong Nolan fan who often points him out to be the filmmaker that inspired me most to start this show and talk about movies online on a regular basis, this was obviously one of my most anticipated movies of the year. On top of that, I'm a big history guy, especially of this era, so there was definitely an added layer of intrigue for me. So does Oppenheimer rank as one of Nolan's best pieces of cinema EVER... or is it an ambitious misfire from the Hollywood legend? Find out in this review. Oppenheimer: Directed by: Christopher Nolan Written for the Screen by: Christopher Nolan Based on the Book by: Kai Bird and Martin Sherwin Produced by: Emma Thomas, Charles Roven and Christopher Nolan Executive Producers: Thomas Hayslip, James Woods Music by: Ludwig Göransson Cinematography by: Hoyte Van Hoytema Edited by: Jennifer Lame Casting by: John Papsidera Production Design by: Ruth De Jong Costume Design by: Ellen Mirojnick Cast: Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Robert Downey, Jr., Matt Damon, Rami Malek, Florence Pugh, Benny Safdie, Michael Angarano, Josh Hartnett, Kenneth Branagh, Alden Ehrenreich, Jason Clarke, Alex Wolff, Jack Quaid, Casey Affleck, Gary Oldman, David Dastmalchian Synopsis: The story of J.

Hey everyone, Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One is finally here and it is the 7th installment of one of my favorite franchises of all-time. So, of course, it's time to rank them from the worst to the best in my personal opinion. I will talk openly about all these movies (SPOILERS) with the exception of Dead Reckoning Part One because it just released a couple of days ago in most markets. Enjoy the ranking and make sure to share what your favorite Mission: Impossible movie is in the poll over on Spotify. Thanks for listening!

Hey everyone, at LONG last, Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One - the 7th installment of the M:I franchise - has finally hit theaters. This has been on my most anticipated list for three years now (I believe). I have been waiting for almost five years to witness my first Mission film on the big screen, particularly since Fallout is one of my favorite action films of all time and one of my favorite films... period. I love what Tom Cruise and McQ have been doing together since M:I - Rogue Nation so this film has A LOT to live up to. So, does Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One live up to its predecessors (arguably the most consistent action franchise of all-time!) or is it the franchise's first miss in decades? Find out in this NON-SPOILER review. ENJOY! Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One: Directed by: Christopher McQuarrie Written by: Christopher McQuarrie & Erik Jendresen Based on: the Television Series Created by Bruce Geller Tom Cruise, Christopher McQuarrie Executive Producers: David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, Don Granger, Tommy Gormley, Chris Brock, Susan E.

With control of the future and the fate of the world at stake, and dark forces from Ethan’s past closing in, a deadly race around the globe begins. Confronted by a mysterious, all-powerful enemy, Ethan is forced to consider that nothing can matter more than his mission – not even the lives of those he cares about most.
Hey everyone, we are now officially (over) halfway through 2023 and we've got 6 months of movies to look forward to for the second half of 2023. As a result, today I am going to be ranking my top 10 most anticipated movies for the rest of the year, along with a good number of honorable mentions. These lists are always so fun because they're filled with so many positive thoughts and excitement. PLEASE, make sure to let me know what your most anticipated movie for the rest of 2023 is over at the Q&A on Spotify. As always, thanks for listening!
Hey everyone, The Flash, the film many consider to be the reset for the DCU, has now been out in theaters for a couple of weeks now and since I have gotten to see the film a few times now, it's finally time to rank them from the worst to best. I love the DC characters; I have my whole life and I always will but suffice to say, this particular universe is not the most loved by the general audience. I, on the other hand, have really liked the DCEU through its run despite the very disconnected and messy lore. With that said, here is my ranking. As always, this ranking is my PERSONAL list so will vary from yours. This list will include SPOILERS from every film listed below, including the recently-released The Flash. Movies to rank: Man of Steel (2013) Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) Suicide Squad (2016) Wonder Woman (2017) Justice League (2017) Aquaman (2017) Shazam! (2019) Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020) Wonder Woman 1984 (2020) Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021) The Suicide Squad (2021) Black Adam (2022) Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2023) The Flash (2023)
Hey everyone, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny has now released in theaters and was set up as Harrison Ford's final adventure with the whip and fedora. As someone who loves the original trilogy, I went in VERY excited. Now that the 5th and final Indy film has released, I am ranking all 5 from the worst to the best. Please note that there will be SPOILERS for the first four films. I will not reveal any plot details for Dial of Destiny as the film just released in theaters globally. Enjoy!

Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)

Hey everyone, the fifth and final Indiana Jones film starring Harrison Ford - Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny - has now released in theaters. There has been a LONG wait for this final adventure, with delays and uncertainty as to whether Harrison Ford would ever play the character again. Last night, I couldn't really believe my eyes when I finally watched the movie and saw Ford don the fedora and whip again.... but is it actually good and does it wash away the ugly taste Kingdom of the Crystal Skull left in our mouths? Find out in this SPOILER-FREE review. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny: Directed by: James Mangold Written by: Jez Butterworth & John-Henry Butterworth and David Koepp & James Mangold Based on characters created by: George Lucas and Philip Kaufman Produced by: Simon Emanuel, Kathleen Kennedy, Frank Marshall Executive Producers: George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, Nathan Woods Music by: John Williams Cinematography by: Phedon Papamichael Edited by: Andrew Buckland, Michael McCusker, Dirk Westervelt Casting by: Nina Gold Production Design by: Adam Stockhausen Costume Design by: Joanna Johnston Cast: Harrison Ford, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Antonio Banderas, John Rhys-Davies, Toby Jones, Boyd Holbrook, Ethann Isidore, Mads Mikkelsen Synopsis: Finding himself in a new era, approaching retirement, Indy wrestles with fitting into a world that seems to have outgrown him.

Hey everyone... well, here we are: the day many of us, including myself, have been waiting a long, LONG time to see. We have our new Superman. David Corenswet will officially star as James Gunn's Superman for Superman: Legacy with Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane! The search for a Lex Luthor also seems to have officially begun and we've got the first names on the apparent shortlist of actors. Here, I breakdown all the latest casting news for SUPERMAN: LEGACY - the first feature of James Gunn's DCU!
Hey everyone, the premiere of Marvel Studios' Secret Invasion - the latest MCU Disney+ show - debuted just a couple of days ago. While I will not be reviewing this show weekly, I wanted to share some of my quick thoughts on the first episode. This is a show I was very much looking forward to due to the focus on Nick Fury and the serous, paranoia tone it had but did it deliver on its promise? Find out in this SPOILER-FILLED review and mini-breakdown.
Hey everyone, here we go again. The first trailer for Sony Marvel's latest Spider-Man villain-focused film - Kraven the Hunter - has now released... in full RED-BAND fashion. This was one brutal and violent trailer but does it show promise? Find out my thoughts here.
Hey everyone, The Flash has now hit theaters across the globe and I wanted to give you my opinion on not only the end of the film and it's post-credits scene, but what it could mean for the future of the DCU! The ending and it's implications have been heavily discussed on all social media over the past two days so today, I am going to be breaking down everything that happens in the final moments of the film, it's fun ties to previous DC movies and how it could tie in to James Gunn's future DCU. Along with that, I will also discuss whether the ending marks the end of the DCEU as we know it! FULL SPOILERS AHEAD...
Hey everyone, welcome back to MOVIE Morning and today, I am reviewing Netflix's Extraction 2. The first film released during PEAK pandemic times and I remember everyone mentioning the amazing action of this film but I actually did not get around to watching it until a couple of years later. I thought Extraction had amazing action as I'd heard but I was not prepared for how dull everything else in the movie would be. I honestly forgot the sequel was even coming out until a day or two before it dropped but here we go.... my review of Extraction 2. Extraction 2: Directed by: Sam Hargrave Written by: Joe Russo Based on the Graphic Novel "Ciudad" by: Ande Parks Story by: Ande Parks and Joe Russo & Anthony Russo Produced by: Eric Gitter, Sam Hargrave, Chris Hemsworth, Mike Larocca p.g.a., Patrick Newall p.g.a., Anthony Russo p.g.a., Joe Russo p.g.a., Angela Russo-Otstot, Peter Schwerin Music by: Alex Belcher, Henry Jackman Cinematography by: Greg Baldi Editing by: William Hoy, Alex Rodríguez Production Design by: Philip Ivey Stunt coordinator: Jan Arnost Cast: Chris Hemsworth, Golshifteh Farahani, Adam Bessa, Tornike Gogrichiani, Tornike Bziava Synopsis: Tasked with extracting a family who is at the mercy of a Georgian gangster, Tyler Rake infiltrates one of the world’s deadliest prisons in order to save them.

Hey everyone, welcome back to another review here on MOVIE MORNING and today, I finally review one of my most anticipated movies of the year: The Flash. Wow, the narrative on this film has changed SO MUCH over the past number of years. Initially learning that cameras were FINALLY rolling on a Flash film, who is my 2nd favorite DC character of all-time, and that Michael Keaton (& Ben Affleck) would make appearances were so exciting but everyone's excitement was drowned out last year due to the Ezra Miller controversy. Then, as soon as the trailers and news about how good this movie was dropped, everybody's hype level, including my own, shot back up and I have been EAGERLY anticipating this day. At long last, here is my review of THE FLASH in a spoiler-free fashion. The Flash: Directed by: Andy Muschietti Screenplay by: Christina Hodson, John Francis Daley & Jonathan Goldstein Screen Story by: Joby Harold Producers: Barbara Muschietti, Michael Disco Executive Producers: Toby Emmerich, Walter Hamada, Marianne Jenkins, Galen Vaisman Music by: Benjamin Wallfisch Cinematography by: Henry Braham Editing by: Jason Ballantine, Paul Machliss Casting by: Rich Delia, Kate Ringsell Production Design by: Paul D. Austerberry Cast: Ezra Miller, Sasha Calle, Michael Shannon, Ron Livingston, Maribel Verdú, Kiersey Clemons, Antje Traue, Michael Keaton, Ben Affleck Synopsis: When his attempt to save his family inadvertently alters the future, Barry Allen becomes trapped in a reality in which General Zod has returned and there are no Super Heroes to turn to. In order to save the world that he is in and return to the future that he knows, Barry’s only hope is to race for his life. But will making the ultimate sacrifice be enough to reset the universe?
Hey everyone, this is a list I've been compiling for a couple of months now (ever since Gunn's announcement of the DCU: Chapter One "Gods and Monsters"). I have been waiting and waiting to have the time to plan and record this mammoth of a list that covers the 10 movies and/or shows that I want to see made the most in James Gunn and Peter Safran's upcoming soft reboot of the DC Universe. To be clear, this list is not a ranking of what has already been announced and stuff we know is coming but rather things that I would just LOVE to see, in my wildest imaginations. I really hope at least two or three of these are James Gunn's plans for the back half of Chapter One or beyond. This is one I'm super passionate about as a lifelong fan of DC comics and so many of these wonderful characters (some of which have yet to make their way to general audiences) so please... sit back and enjoy!
Hey everyone, here we go again... the latest Transformers film - Transformers: Rise of the Beasts - has now hit theaters in my local market and to say I was skeptical would be an understatement. I've grown up owning a LARGE amount of Transformers toys and enjoying some of the early material but these movies really burned me by Age of Extinction and The Last Knight. I'm a fan of Steven Caple Jr's work from Creed II so I was really pulling for him to make the first great MAINLINE Transformers movie (I REALLY liked Bumblebee). So, is Transformers: Rise of the Beasts another bad entry in this long-running franchise or have they finally figured out how to make this iconic toy line work on the big screen? Find out in this SPOILER-FREE review. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts: Directed by: Steven Caple Jr. Screenplay by: Joby Harold and Darnell Metayer & Josh Peters and Erich Hoeber & Jon Hoeber Story by: Joby Harold Produced by: Michael Bay, Tom DeSanto, Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Duncan Henderson, Don Murphy, Mark Vahradian Music by: Jongnic Bontemps Cinematography by: Enrique Chediak Edited by: William Goldenberg, Joel Negron Production Design by: Sean Haworth Casting by: Wittney Horton Cast: Anthony Ramos, Dominique Fishback, Luna Lauren Velez, Dean Scott Vazquez, Tobe Nwigwe, Peter Cullen, Ron Perlman, Peter Dinklage, Michelle Yeoh, Liza Koshy, John DiMaggio, David Sobolov, Pete Davidson Synopsis: A ’90s globetrotting adventure that introduces the Maximals, Predacons, and Terrorcons to the existing battle on earth between Autobots and Decepticons.
Hey everyone, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, one of the greatest comic book movies I've ever seen, has been out in theaters and I have been dying to stack it up against some of my other favorite Spider-Man movies, ranking all of the theatrically-released ones from worst to best. This is a list I have updated many times and will continue to update because Spider-Man is one of my favorite characters of all-time. I will not be including the Venom movies or Morbius because those are Spidey-spinoffs and I am specifically discussing the SPIDER-MAN movies here. That Sony-verse ranking will be updated when Kraven comes out later this year. This ranking will include SPOILERS for every movie listed below EXCEPT Across the Spider-Verse. Enjoy! Movies to rank: Spider-Man (2002) Spider-Man 2 (2004) Spider-Man 3 (2007) The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014) Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023)
Hey everyone, the FULL trailer for one of my most (quietly) anticipated movies of the summer - TMNT: Mutant Mayhem has finally released. This movie is only just over 2 months away and finally, we have great looks at the animation, the style of story and comedy, the voices of the turtles and the rest of the cast and the villain: Superbly. As a lifelong fan of all incarnations of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I have been cautiously optimistic for this upcoming film and here are my thoughts on the latest trailer.
Hey everyone... WOW. I just saw Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and, still, hours later, I am at a loss for words and CANNOT stop thinking about this film. It is work of art on every level and is an indescribable and mind-blowing experience in every conceivable way. I don't even know where to begin with the experience I just had with Across the Spider-Verse. The first film is one of my favorite movies of all-time and DEFINITELY my favorite Spider-Man movie ever so I had high, HIGH expectations for the sequel. Listen to this SPOILER-FREE review to find out why Across the Spider-Verse is not only a worthy sequel but also to find out whether or not it tops the original.

Hey everyone, so I was not planning on doing this but I honestly had too many thoughts after seeing it to not do a review, so here it is, my review of the 2023 live-action remake of the Disney animated classic, The Little Mermaid. I have been REALLY burnt out by these Disney remakes over the past number of years so I had very low expectations going into The Little Mermaid, combined with the fact that The Little Mermaid was never one of my favorite Disney films as a kid. With that said, is this the remake that could turn the tide on how Disney live-action remakes are perceived/made or is this another miss? Find out in this review.

Hey everyone, we're now a couple of weeks into the summer and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, the first blockbuster of the season, kicked it off with a HIGH, high note. If it's any indication, we're in for a fantastic summer of movies! This is easily one of my favorite times of the year and there are a TON of summer movies to look forward to so here we are, my top 10 most anticipated movies of the summer, excluding Guardians 3 of course because it's already out.EDIT: This episode was recorded prior to me seeing Fast X so it is included on this list. The review for Fast X is now out :)
Hey everyone, Fast X - the first part of the finale to the Fast Saga - has released I theaters. As I've stated before, I'm a pretty big fan of these movies and grew to be a massive fan by binging 8 of these films right after The Fate of the Furious came out. I was looking forward to Fast X and the concept of them closing out this franchise, at last, on their own terms but felt F9 just went way too far with the over-the-top stunts. So, does Fast X dial back some of that and act as a nice return to form for the Fast Saga or is it more of the same? Find out in this spoiler-free review.Fast X:Directed by: Louis LeterrierScreenplay by: Dan Mazeau & Justin LineStory by: Dan Mazeau & Justin LineCharacters created by: Gary Scott ThompsonProduced by: Vin Diesel, Jeff Kirschenbaum, Justin Lin, Neal H.

Hey everyone... well, it's finally here. My most anticipated movie of the year - Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 - has now arrived in theaters. I had the immense pleasure and joy of seeing this movie a few days ago and now, I'll be sharing y thoughts on this film and whether James Gunn delivered a closing chapter to his time with these wonderful characters that felt satisfying. You all know how much I love Gunn and the way he tells stories; they really emotionally resonate with me but the question is... did this movie continue that trend?

Hey everyone, with John Wick: Chapter 4 being out in theatres for a few weeks now and me finally getting a chance to check it out for a second time, I thought it was a great time to finally rank all 4 of the John Wick films from the worst to the best. This ranking will include SPOILERS from all 4 Chapters of John Wick since it's been a few weeks and I have to imagine that if you're interested in seeing Chapter 4, you've probably seen it by now. This is such a consistently entertaining series of movies that has revolutionised Hollywood action cinema for the better... so enjoy a ranking where over 90% of my comments will actually be positive!Movies to rank:John Wick (2014)John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017)John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019)John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023)
Hey everyone, Renfield - AKA the NICOLAS CAGE DRACULA FILM - has finally hit theaters. While this was no one's absolute most anticipated movie of the year, this has been one I've been keeping my eye on very closely , hoping for a movie that actually turns out to be as awesome as a movie that starts Nic Cage as Dracula should be. I'm not typically the biggest horror guy on the Internet but the premise and fun trailers sold me. It's also written based off an idea from Robert Kirkman (co-creator of the The Walking Dead & Invincible) which is awesome. The director is actually the person who brought us both The Lego Batman Movie & The Tomorrow War, two movies that I really enjoyed. So... is Renfield the funny, bloody romp I'd hoped for or is it a disappointing effort from Chris McKay?Renfield:Directed by: Chris McKayScreenplay by: Ryan RidleyBased on an original idea by: Robert KirkmanProducers: Robert Kirkman, David Alpert, Bryan Furst, Sean Furst, Chris McKayExecutive Producer: Samantha NisenboimMusic by: Marco BeltramiCinematography by: Mitchell AmundsenFilm Editing by: Ryan Foley, Giancarlo Ganziano, Mako KamitsunaCasting by: Rich DeliaProduction Design by: Julie Berghoff (second unit), Alec HammondSupervising Art Director: Chris CraineCostume Design by: Lisa LovassCast: Nicholas Hoult, Nicolas Cage, Awkwafina, Ben Schwartz, Adrian Martinez, Shohreh AghdashlooSynopsis: In this modern monster tale of Dracula’s loyal servant, Renfield, the tortured aide to history’s most narcissistic boss, Dracula.

But now, after centuries of servitude, Renfield is ready to see if there’s a life outside the shadow of The Prince of Darkness. If only he can figure out how to end his codependency. - Universal Pictures

So, to catch up and not pick between hairs, I've decided to just cover, what I thought, were the 6 BIGGEST trailers of the past week (beginning Sunday April 2), This will not be a BREAKDOWN of each trailer but rather just my thoughts on each trailer.Trailers that will be covered in this episode:Secret Invasion (TV show)Blue Beetle (Movie)Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (Movie)Barbie (Movie)Ahsoka (TV show)Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (Movie)
Hey everyone, the new Ben Affleck directed film - AIR - has released in theatres. Ben Affleck is an OSCAR-winning writer and has directed a movie that's won BEST PICTURE. He's one of the greatest creative forces working in the business right now and he alongside Matt Damon (who's the lead of this film)) literally won Oscars in their 20's for writing one of the best movies ever made: Good Will Hunting. Needless to say, my interest was peaked when it was revealed they'd be working on a movie together again. Does Air live up to Ben Affleck's previous efforts or is it a let down? Find out in this review.Air:Directed by: Ben AffleckWritten by: Alex ConveryProduced by: Ben Affleck, Madison Ainley, Jason Michael Berman, Matt Damon, David Ellison, Peter Guber, Jeff Robinov, Jesse Sisgold, Jon WeinbachCinematography by: Robert Richardson (director of photography)Film Editing by: William GoldenbergCasting by: Lindsay Graham Ahanonu, Mary VernieuProduction Design by: François AudouyCast: Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Jason Bateman, Marlon Wayans, Chris Messina, Chris Tucker, Viola Davis, Julius TennonSynopsis: Sonny Vaccaro and Nike pursue basketball rookie Michael Jordan, creating a partnership that revolutionizes the world of sports and contemporary culture.
Hey everyone, yesterday I got to check out a sneak preview screening of Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. I really had no excitement (or even really plans) to go see this movie even just a month or two back but I have to admit... the more I saw and heard about this film, the more I wanted to see it. The positive reviews combined with a great cast, director and entertaining clips built my interest in this movie greatly. All that's to say, I've never played D&D in my whole life. So, does Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves provide a fun time at the movies or is this yet another generic studio fantasy flick?Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves:Directed by: John Francis Daley, Jonathan GoldsteinScreenplay by: John Francis Daley & Jonathan Goldstein and Michael GilioStory by: Chris McKay & Michael GilioProduced by: Brian Goldner, Jeremy Latcham, Nick MeyerExecutive Producers: John Francis Daley, Jonathan Goldstein, Zev Foreman, Greg Mooradian, Chris Pine, Denis L.

Hey everyone, the Baba Yaga has returned as John Wick: Chapter 4 has finally released after 4 years of waiting. This franchise started as a simple Keanu Reeves revenge thriller but has now turned into the premium action movie franchise in Hollywood and there's a lot riding on this chapter. As a lifelong fan of action cinema, I was so excited to see whether Chad Stahelski, Keanu Reeves and crew would be able to top the mind-blowing action scenes in Chapter 3... and they 100% succeeded.

Hey everyone, the latest instalment of one of my absolute favorite film franchises of all-time - the Rocky/Creed series - has now released, in Creed III. These films are so inspirational, entertaining and motivational that I watch all these movies multiple times a year. Even the lower films on this ranking are still very good movies and leagues above movies of similar placements within other blockbuster franchises. I definitely have a major soft sport for this franchise. If you want to hear my thoughts on the newest movie, make sure to check out my review of Creed III but today, we'll be talking about every movie in the franchise: ranking them from worst to best.

Hey everyone, the sequel to the 2019 DC hit - Shazam! Fury of the Gods - has now hit theatres. I, unfortunately, had to wait a to see it because I was a little under the weather but I have now seen it and I can finally understand what people've been saying about this for the past couple of days. While I was a fan of the first Shazam!, this was easily my least anticipated DC film of the year because the trailers just seemed like this sequel had lost all of the heart and charm of the first movie, trading it for generic superhero stuff. Was I right in my concerns... or is Shazam! Fury of the Gods a GREAT entry into the DCEU? Find out in this SPOILER-FREE review.Shazam! Fury of the Gods:Directed by: David F.

Hey everyone, Scream VI has been out for a few days so it's time to rank all 6 Scream movies from the worst to the best. This ranking will include SPOILERS for every film in the franchise with the exception of Scream VI because it just came out. I have been really looking forward to this because this franchise is so consistent and I honestly think the middle four placements are pretty much interchangeable. As always, this is my personal ranking; someone who only got into this franchise for the very first time just a couple of months ago. Although, I do think this is officially, EASILY, my favorite horror franchise of all-time already. Enjoy and make sure to tell me what your favorite (and second) Scream movie is!Movies to rank:Scream (1996)Scream 2 (1997)Scream 3 (2000)Scream 4 (2011)Scream (2022)Scream VI (2023)
Hey everyone, the season 1 finale of HBO's The Last of Us has aired. This show has been amazing and it's sad that potentially the best show I've ever covered weekly on this show has come to an end; at least, the first season has. "Look for the Light" tells the story of the ending of The Last of Us - the first game - and definitely takes some twists and turns that newer audiences to this story definitely weren't expecting. In this episode, I'll breakdown all the easter eggs to the first game and the biggest moments from the finale... in SPOILERIFIC detail. Enjoy!
Hey everyone, Scream VI has finally landed in theatres globally and I have been eagerly awaiting this latest instalment since I started binging this franchise for the very first time just a couple of months ago. These movies are just such a solid group of clever and creative slashers that deliver what you expect from the genre with a meta twist. I had a BLAST watching these movies and I was really hoping Scream VI would give me that same feeling, particularly since I was a big fan of Radio Silence's first stab at this franchise with last year's Scream. So, does Scream VI continue the very consistent track record of this franchise? Find out right here in this SPOILER-FREE review!Scream VI:Directed by: Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler GillettWritten by: James Vanderbilt & Guy BusickBased on characters created by: Kevin WilliamsonProduced by: Paul Neinstein, William Sherak, James VanderbiltExecutive Producers: Gary Barber, Courtney Cox, Cathy Konrad, Ron Lynch, Marianne Maddalena, Peter Oillataguerre, Chad Villella, Kevin WilliamsonMusic by: Sven Faulconer, Brian TylerCinematography by: Brett JutkiewiczFilm Editing by: Jay PrychidnyCasting by: Rich DeliaProduction Design by: Michele LaliberteCast: Melissa Barrera, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Jack Champion, Henry Czerny, Mason Gooding, Liana Liberato, Dermot Mulroney, Devyn Nekoda, Jenna Ortega, Tony Revolori, Josh Segarra, Samara Weaving with Hayden Panettiere and Courteney CoxSynopsis: Following the latest Ghostface killings, the four survivors leave Woodsboro behind and start a fresh chapter in New York City.

Unfortunately though, I was not able to cover the season 3 premiere last week so I will give you my thoughts on Chapter 17 'The Apostate' along with Chapter 18 that just released. It’s been a couple of years but let’s talk The Mandalorian again, after appearances in the disappointing Book of Boba Fett! FULL SPOILERS up ahead!

Hey everyone, episode 6 of HBO's The Last of Us, titled 'Kin', has released. This show continues to fire on ALL cylinders and I am LOVING how they're staying close to the general plot beats but changing the mechanism of how certain things happen. There's a lot that's expanded upon but I will say that this is also the episode where the show covered the most ground from the games within an hour; there's definitely some missing (iconic) gameplay moments. Episode 6 reintroduces us to Tommy and continues to build on Joel and Ellie's relationship (with a time jump to start it!), so let's break it down! FULL SPOILERS up ahead.

So, in this episode, I'll be giving you my thoughts on all the crazy new stunts, new cast members and connections to previous films shown in this trailer. Enjoy!
Hey everyone, The Last of Us continues to be a special show, pleasing fans of the video game and drawing in new viewers alike. Episode 4, titled "Please Hold My Hand", has now been released by HBO. In this SPOILER review, I will be giving you all my thoughts on the episode, the video game references and all the differences they've made to the way the story was told on PlayStation consoles, which was not much this week.

Hey everyone, after over a decade of waiting... James Cameron's Avatar: The Way of Water has finally released globally in theatres. The task this movie has to achieve is damn-near impossible.

Hey everybody, Marvel Studios' Ms. Marvel continues this week on Disney+. Since it began 5 weeks ago, I have been enjoying the show WAY more than I thought I would EXCEPT for the penultimate episode we got last week.
