Movie Review: BLACK WIDOW Starring Scarlett Johansson, Florence Pugh, David Harbor
After two years of waiting, the latest installment of the MCU is finally here. Officially kicking off Phase Four, Black Widow is the 24th film overall in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Movie Review: ‘Avengers: Endgame’ Starring Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson
In the past eleven years, we as an audience have witnessed something truly remarkable in cinema. After a surprise blockbuster hit in 2008’s Iron Man, we’ve been absolutely spoiled by what’s become the gold standard for comic book to big screen adaptations. While some may not be held on as high of a pedestal as […]
182: ‘Captain America: Civil War’ Starring Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Tom Holland
You can take your solstice and cram it. We all know when summer really starts… ‘Captain America: Civil War.’ Matt Reedy sticks it out for another episode as we all gush over the latest MCU installment. We talk about how the Russo’s got practical effects right, how the Russo’s got the humor right, how the […]
181: ‘Captain America: Civil War’ Box Office Report (5/6 – 5/8)
This week we’re joined by artist extraordinaire Matt Reedy. No shockers at the box office this week as the nerd-verse willingly tithed to the MCU. And a fight almost breaks out as Tom achieves a rare trifecta by making a Monkees reference, a sports reference and (wait for it)… a WWE reference. It’s like we […]
Movie Review: ‘Lucy’ Starring Scarlett Johansson, Morgan Freeman
Don’t be fooled by the trailer for Lucy, the latest film from director Luc Besson. It looks like a scifi, action thriller; yet what it really is, is a mean-spirited, unexciting train wreck. Scarlett Johansson stars as Lucy. One of my big problems with the film is that we are introduced to Lucy at the […]

Movie Review: ‘Chef’ Starring Jon Favreau, Sofia Vergara, Robert Downey, Jr.
Jon Favreau is used to putting out huge, summer action flicks, like Iron Man 1 and 2, as well as the dud Cowboys and Aliens, but this summer he’s not blowing up anything, he’s cooking. Chef is Favreau’s latest project, and a welcomed departure from summer action flicks. Favreau directed, wrote, and stars in this […]

39: ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’ Starring Chris Evans, Sebastian Stan, Scarlett Johansson
This week on the show we took a break from attending Wizard World long enough to discuss (fittingly) Captain America: The Winter Soldier. We were tired but we, um…soldiered on. There’s no Blind Man’s Synopsis this week since we all saw the movie. (It’s funny how that happens with comic book films, innit?) But we […]
Movie Review: ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’ Starring Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Robert Redford
Kicking off this year’s set of superhero movies is none other than Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Serving as the direct sequel (obviously) to Captain America: The First Avenger, and the third movie in the set of phase 2 movies (phase 2 referring to Marvel Studios movies that take place after the Avengers) one is […]
