Paramount Plus Review: Diarra From Detroit Season 2 (mid-season)
It has been quite some time since you've heard from us, but we decided to come back in a big way. Diarra from Detroit is a show we liked 2 years ago, and we were excited for the new season to be released. Season 2 may be even better than season 1, and the move to Paramount means that more eyes…

Rewind: Brown Sugar (2002)
A few months ago, Mike and Toy recorded an episode after watching Brown Sugar. Toy loves Rom Coms and this is one of her favorites. She mentioned this review during the You, Me, and Tuscany review so it felt like the time to release it. **Note** This should be the last episode we release that...
-
You, Me, & Tuscany
Mike and Toy return with a big one. Discourse online about You, Me, and Tuscany made it clear that the industry may be impacted by the performance of the Black-led romantic comedy. Stakes or not, we planned to see the film. We were unable to see it during the weekend but good word of mouth...

Bang Bang
Toy and Mike review the new movie Bang Bang from Sunrise Films. This is a boxing movie that gives you some of the traditional boxing movie setup, but does not follow the trajectory you'd expect. We both enjoyed this film and detail why. Starring: Tim Blake Nelson, Glenn Plummer, and Andrew Liner...

Highest 2 Lowest and Nobody 2
For these two episodes, Toy and I tried something different. I bought those mics that the influencers who do the on-street interviews use, and we recorded while driving home from the movies. During the first review, I had some movement in the mic, so I apologize for that. The second time, I held...
-
Weapons
Toy and Mike are back in your feed with the hottest movie in theaters, Zach Cregger's "Weapons."

This took the movie to another level in terms...

Trap
M. Night Shyamalan is BACK and yet again he has a great premise on his hands. The well of good ideas always delivers but the execution has left us wanting for years. Has he finally broken through with this one? I brought Reese on to discuss. Starring: Josh Hartnett, Ariel Donoghue, Saleka...

Longlegs Review
Did you think I was just dropping one review? Nope! Two for the price of one. I made you wait a long time so it's the least I could do. The second of the two is also from the horror genre and was another highly anticipated movie. Longlegs was also heavily hyped with people calling it the scariest...

It Lives Inside Review
Bibs and Tyler are back with yet another horror movie review. This one is from a director with 1 degree of separation from Tyler, which is how it ended up on my radar.

-
A Haunting in Venice Review
This episode marks the return of Hercule Poirot and the return of Reese to the podcast! A Haunting in Venice offered an interesting setup to the murder mystery genre with a supernatural element being teased, but did it deliver on this premise? Tune in to find out. Non-Spoiler Section - First 30...

The Blackening Review
Back again with Tyler Lennon and surprise, surprise it's a horror review.

Influencer Review and Interview with Director Kurtis David Harder
Every now and then you stumble across a hidden gem and that was the case with Influencer. I was scrolling on Twitter when I saw a few tweets about a new movie arriving on Shudder.

Outpost Review (Joe Lo Truglio Directorial Debut)
Joe Lo Truglio, best known for his roles on Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Reno 9-1-1, stepped behind the camera to make *checks notes* a horror movie?! That's right, Joe wrote and directed his first feature film and it is not a comedy. How did the film (with his wife as the lead and his friends filling...

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Deep Dive
When the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie was released, no one knew what to expect. We didn't know the characters, James Gunn wasn't a household name by any stretch of the imagination and Marvel hadn't really gone cosmic yet. We'd already grown to love and trust the brand but this was…

The Eight Mountains Review (Cannes 2022 Jury Prize Winner)
The Eight Mountains comes to us with a slew of accolades already accumulated, ready for the U.S. market.

Evil Dead Rise Review
For months I planned to see Beau is Afraid on opening weekend, then the week arrived and the runtime was too much for me to endure. We'll reconsider when it's on streaming platforms. Tyler was expecting to come along for the ride on that one so instead we pivoted to Evil Dead Rise. I had almost…

Netflix Series: Black Mirror
While recording the Scream VI review, Tyler and I got sidetracked talking about Black Mirror for a while. We talked about the show for almost 25 minutes and rather than waste that content, I put it into its own episode. You'll see more one-offs as I plan to put out mini episodes discussing hit...
