Movie Review: ‘Brightburn’ Starring Elizabeth Banks, David Denman, Jackson A. Dunn
What if Superman were evil? What if there was no hero to stop the villain? Sounds like a dark thought to me. Well, that’s exactly what Brightburn – the new film from writers Brian and Mark Gunn – is all about. If the Gunn name makes you think of James, don’t worry – he’s the […]
Review: ‘The Intruder’ Starring Meagan Good, Michael Ealy, Dennis Quaid
The Intruder is the kind of movie that I went into with little to no expectations, yet it still delivers even less.

The psychological thriller revolves around a family isolated in an abandoned house in the woods, while trying to avoid a sickness that is plaguing the rest of the world. Thematically, this is a masterful […]
57: ‘November Man’ and ‘As Above/So Below’
Episode #57 is a twofer as we spoil both The November Man and As Above/So Below. And, just to make things more enticing, we didn’t really care for either. We always do our best work when we don’t like a movie and we have some head-scratching questions about both films. All this plus a Video […]
