Judd Apatow goes to Netflix for his new covid-inspired "pandemic movie" but is it any good? Written and Directed by Apatow and starring David Duchovny, Leslie Mann, Pedro Pascal, Karen Gillan, Keegan-Michael Key and more.
We're back and now we're everything, everywhere, all at once. This movie was written and directed by Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, and stars Michelle Yoeh, Ke Huy Quan, Stephanie Hsu, and James Hong. We also talk about Lynch's new secret movie, kept under wraps and premiering at Cannes, and some other movies to come.
We're back to talk about another installment in the Batman franchise or the, The Batman franchise if you will. The Batman is written and directed by Matt Reeves. It stars, Robert Pattinson, Zoë Kravitz, Paul Dano, John Turturro, and more. Is this a fresh new take on Batman or the same thing we've seen before.
This week we talk about Marvel's new Disney Plus/Theater release, Black Widow, starring Scarlett Johansson, David Harbour, Florence Pugh, and Rachel Weisz. We talk a bit about the dual streaming service and theater release and the reboot problem as well. This is Scarlett Johansson's 9th time playing Black Widow if that sheds some light on the issue here.
This week we review the final installment in Netflix's Fear Street horror series. If you listened to our other episodes on Fear Street, then you know we were excited for this one.
This week is a bit of a throwback. We watched the 2019 female driven coming of age movie, Booksmart. This movie is Olivia Wilde's directorial debut and stars Kaitlyn Dever and Beanie Feldstein. One last night of high school to party.
This week we watch the second installment in the Fear Street series, a camp slasher that takes place in 1978. We know what that means, sex, drugs, and an axe murdering maniac.
Shh monsters. This week we talk about A Quiet Place Part II written and directed by John Krasinski and starring Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, Noah Jupe, and Cillian Murphy. Okay we forgot to mention a brief appearance by Scoot McNairy from the brilliant low budget monster movie, err, Monsters. We love you Scoot and hope you will forgive us. So is this another pointless sequel or a solid flick? Tune in to see what we think.
This week we watched the first of the new Netflix horror anthology, Fear Street 1994. Based on an R.L. Stine YA book series, this is the first of three connected stories, taking place in one town several years apart. Is this a clever homage to 1990s slasher films or another Netflix cash grab? We will be covering all three movies in the series so stay tuned for those!
This week we watched the 2021 action sci-fi alien flick, The Tomorrow War starring Chris Pratt and Yvonne Strahovski. Time travel, aliens, wars, you get the picture. Is this this Pratt's come back or the nail in the Hollywood coffin? This movie is also Amazon Prime's attempt at a first major blockbuster. Will they succeed?
Good boys, good boys, whatcha gonna do? This week on Movie Labeoufs, on a search for "kids on bikes" nostalgia, we watched the 2019 movie Good Boys. Though it doesn't quite continue the genre perhaps this is the first "kids with drones" movie.
Yes we watched Thunder Force. This week we talk about the 2021 Netflix superhero movie starring Melissa McCarthy and Octavia Spencer with a crabby appearance by Jason Bateman. We knew this was going to be a rough one and marks another fall from grace by an academy award winning actor. Listen to find out why you should avoid this movie at all costs.

This week we watched the 2021 Guy Ritchie flick Wrath of Man, starring Jason Statham. Is this Guy Ritchie's return to his classic style or just another of his recent cash grabs?
This week we watched the 2019 sci-fi horror movie, Color Out of Space, starring Nicolas Cage. This is a strange movie, with some strange history, and lots of controversy. And obviously we can't watch a Nic Cage movie without a lengthy Cage discussion.
This week we watched Zack Snyder's new (old) zombie flick, Army of the Dead! We also get into Zack Snyder's career and why this movie took ten years to make.
This week we watched the latest in a line of campy Bruce Willis phone-ins, Cosmic Sin. A 2021 low budget sci-fi that really need not be seen by anyone, but we subjected ourselves to it so you don't have to! We also do a deep dive on Bruce Willis' career and his fall from grace, though I'm sure he considers it quite the opposite.
This week we watched the 2021 sci-fi movie, Stowaway, starring Anna Kendrick, Toni Collette, Daniel Dae Kim, and Shamier Anderson. There's certainly a lot to talk about with this one! There's also a hint for what movie we're doing next at the end of the episode.
This week we watched the 2020 disaster film, Greenland, starring Gerard Butler and Morena Baccarin. We also talk about the disaster movie genre, it's rise, peak, (pun intended, I appologize) and its fall! Along with how it has changed over the years and if anyone still wants to watch a disaster movie.
This week we watched the 2021 action film, Nobody, starring Bob Odenkirk, Aleksey Serebryakov, and Christopher Lloyd. We also talk about some 90s action flicks and the possible return of its format.
If you haven't heard, this week we watched the 2020 film, Sound of Metal, starring Riz Ahmed, Olivia Cooke and Paul Raci.
Monkeys on a rampage, lizards shooting laser beams. This movie's got it all. Yes, we know King Kong's not a monkey, but that's what they call it in the 2021 blockbuster, Godzilla vs. Kong, for some reason! Who will come out victorious? Does anyone really care?
On this special bonus episode we make our predictions for the 2021 Academy Awards! We also do a deep dive into all of the movies nominated for best picture. All categories are spoiler free until we get to best picture around the 40 minute mark.
In this episode we discuss David Fincher's homage to Citizen Kane in the 2020 film Mank, starring Gary Oldman, Amanda Seyfried, and Lily Collins.
This week we talk about the 2019 movie, Hustlers, starring Jennifer Lopez, Constance Wu, and... Cardi B? We also talk about the Oscar Nominations being announced and a lot about Jurassic park for some reason. We just can't help ourselves.
This week we talk about the 2020 movie Kid Detective, starring Adam Brody. And of course we can't talk about Adam Brody without reliving the OC a little bit.
On this week's episode we talk about the 2019 survival horror movie Becky, starring Lulu Wilson, and Kevin James. From UPS driver to mall cop to skinhead. Oh Kevin James, you're so diverse!
