'Ready or Not 2: Here I Come', and 'They Will Kill You', and Jeff revisits a 40-year-old classic. - Brett

Hello there! This week we'll tee up Christopher Nolan's new movie The Odyssey, which is getting terrific reviews. We'll also tee up the new Will Ferrell golf comedy on Netflix, The Hawk, which is TERRIBLE.

Sam Neill has died at 78. And in honour of the recent 4th of July, I decided to revisit the 1996 classic Independence Day, and the not-so-classic from 2016, Independence Day Resurgence. I didn't hate it this time! - Brett
