Movie Review: IT CHAPTER 2 Starring Jessica Chastain, James McAvoy, Bill Hader
The highly anticipated follow-up to Andy Muschietti’s remake of Stephen King’s haunting tale of a clown that feasts on children (both literally and figuratively,) It: Chapter 2 hits theatres today. While the original 90’s miniseries terrified a generation and amplified coulrophobia (the irrational fear of clowns,) still to this day, as well as a providing […]
Movie Review: X-Men ‘Dark Phoenix’ Starring James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence
The X-Men franchise just can’t seem to close out a trilogy, it seems. After the greatness of 2000’s X-Men and even more so with 2003’s X2: X-Men United, viewers were left scratching our heads when X-Men: The Last Stand was made to close things out. After a couple of Wolverine films (that actually did get […]
Movie Review: ‘Glass’ Starring James McAvoy, Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson
In 1999, M. Night Shyamalan became a household name with his six-time Oscar-nominated film, The Sixth Sense. The following year, he gave us something even better (at least, in my opinion), and that is Unbreakable – a film that is basically a comic book that unfolds on screen, centralizing on the idea of superheroes possibly […]
Film Review: ‘Sherlock Gnomes’ Starring James McAvoy, Emily Blunt, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Mary J. Blige, Johnny Depp
This must be the week for unnecessary sequels. Who would have thought the cute 2011 animated feature Gnomeo & Juliet, which tells the story of (you guessed it!) Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet through the lives of garden gnomes, would have ever spawned a sequel seven years later? Certainly not this guy. Sherlock Gnomes is the […]
Review: ‘Atomic Blonde’ Starring Charlize Theron, James McAvoy, Sofia Boutella
I’m not exactly sure why, but for whatever reason the 1980s are enjoying a strong renaissance. Wherever you look, the influence of the neon decade has hovered over media, be it in TV shows (“Stranger Things,” the “Lethal Weapon” series), movie reboots (Ghostbusters, Blade Runner), hell, even some video games (Far Cry: Blood Dragon) have […]

This episode is coming from an undisclosed location. Tom will explain why. Tom and Dan descend into an Old Timey Reference free-for-all with solo David Lee Roth stories.

Movie Review: ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ Starring James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Oscar Isaac
It’s hard to believe that we are now nine films into the X-Men franchise, which kicked off in 2000 with X-Men and was the catalyst for the “serious” superhero films we know today. Although Blade came out two years earlier, it never had quite the commercial success of the original X movie – which brought […]
44: ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’ Starring Every X-Men Ever (Almost)
This week we return to the bunker so we can spoil X-Men: Days of Future Past. Synopsis: The ultimate X-Men ensemble fights a war for the survival of the species across two time periods in X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST. The beloved characters from the original “X-Men” film trilogy join forces with their younger selves […]
‘Welcome to the Punch’ Trailer and Poster (James McAvoy and Mark Strong)
Not sure how much the trailer is giving away, but it looks like James McAvoy’s cop, and Mark Strong’s criminal in Welcome to the Punch will end up working together. Looks like a great action thriller, with a bit of British flare. The script was voted as one of Britain’s best unproduced scripts in 2010. […]
