All Quiet on the Western Front, Wendell & Wild Reviews & More

This week is our last bit of normalcy heading into awards season and we're taking this opportunity to cover a couple of films that aren't the biggest releases. For the next two months we will probably be running through several films per week and the smaller things will, as always, not get the attention they deserve.
All Quiet on the Western Front is probably our main pick for films that are going to be overlooked, and while we didn't love Wendell & Wild exactly, it's worth a look.
We also chime in on Strange World, The Banshees of Inisherin, Wednesday, and a lot more.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Review Plus So Much More

This week we run through as many possibilities as we can at a time when movies and series utterly bombard us with choice.
Wakanda Forever is the big name, but we'll also cover Enola Homes 2, Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, and many more. We may not have liked everything, but with Rosaline, Causeway, Inside Man, The Good Nurse, and still more, if you can't find something you'll love, we just can't help you.

Black Adam Review And More

It's obviously Black Adam week and there is a lot of talk about the disparity between critical and audience reception as this one takes over the box office.
We'll let you know our take on it, and whether that disparity really even exists, and we're also going to look at a few more films including circling back to Halloween Ends again.

Luckiest Girl Alive, Halloween Ends, The Peripheral & More

This week we try to take advantage of the lull before Black Adam and catch up on a few things. We'll look at Luckiest Girl Alive, Halloween Ends, The School for Good and Evil, and The Peripheral.
A couple of these are pretty highly recommended, and we have to defend one of them against critics who don't seem to make a lot of sense, though it probably isn't the one you think.
 

Amsterdam Review - Plus Werewolf By Night

This week we look at Amsterdam, a film with a lot of stars that is taking a lot of heat from critics. Does this star-studded caper deserve the press it's getting, or is the backlash aimed at the writer/director overshadowing the merits... and is it worth seeing in theaters?
We'll let you know what we think, and we'll also look at Marvel's version of a Halloween Special, Werewolf by Night.
Plus, we've got a listener question to address.

Don’t Worry Darling, Blonde & See How They Run Reviews

This week (after a Covid break) we're hitting Don't Worry Darling, Blonde, and going back for See How They Run. 
It turned into a somewhat weird week, especially as Blonde and Don't Worry Darling had similar issues, which doesn't seem like it should be possible.

3,000 Years of Longing Review Plus 3 Bonus Films

This week we are catching up due to some technical difficulties so we are not only reviewing 3,000 Years of Longing, but we are hitting a few available on streamers - Me Time, Samaritan, and Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul.
Unfortunately, the oft-mentioned lull in big, theatrical releases hasn't quite been the boon for these smaller affairs we hoped, but 3,000 Years of Longing is an "adventure" we recommend, even if it disappointed.

Bodies, Bodies, Bodies Review Plus

As we head into an episode in which we will probably be getting to three films - two streamers - we are stuck doing our best with lack of big titles at the box office.
We'll be looking at Bodies, Bodies, Bodies, the twenty-something, rich kid vehicle that finds a bunch of snots throwing a party for a hurricane when the bodies start dropping.
We will also run you through some possibilities at home, including big name series, like House of Dragons, etc.

Dayshift & Prey Reviews - Plus a quick glimpse at She-Hulk

We're solidly in the lull, so this week we look at the new Netflix film Dayshift and we catch up on Prey, and while neither film is devoid of positives, you really have to be looking for them to get much out of them.
We'll let you know all the details and try to give you a sense of whether or not you're going to like them.
We also give a quick take on She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, which is potentially a lot of fun, and potentially alienates a lot of Marvel fans.

Bullet Train and Luck Reviews

As we enter a real lull in theatrical releases, Bullet Train hopes to capitalize on a lack of real blockbusters over the next few weeks. We'll let you know if it manages to earn your money, and why we both thought it was awfully close to becoming a classic.
We also look at the Apple+ animated feature, Luck, which we had similar reactions to, and is perhaps aimed at a younger audience than you expect.
Those films and more as we continue to try to showcase streaming options on the horizon.
