We'd heard it was this script that actually blew up Krypton, but c'mon - it can't be that bad. We saw Borderlands. Nick and Les head to the movies to see the latest DCU outing under Gunn's leadership. This one has a lot to love, and so many tiny things to be bothered by. The biggest sin? It's a little boring at parts*. Check out ALL our thoughts here, and find out where we fell in the scope of criticism for this flick. (Spoiler - we thought it was just okay, and then spent an hour detailing why, and now I may never watch it again. That's a lie. I'll rewatch some bits. Lobo's hilariously dumb)*aghast at how we could say such things? I promise we go into agonizing detail.

This week, Nick and Les check out a new Disney animated co-production with anime influences - will they like it?? Turns out YES!! Dragon Striker on Disney/Hulu is a charming, beautifully animated show about a magical soccer school (kinda) and the team of scrappy punks that have to learn how to use their innate magical powers to play the game. We were hooked and tore through all the episodes. Can't wait for season 2 in 2027. Wondering WHY we loved it?

This week for our Patreon exclusive movie review, we are diving into the absolute chaos of They Will Kill You, and folks, we freaking loved it! Imagine Zazie Beetz walking into a high-rise housekeeping job only to find out the building is basically a vertical maze of crazy cultists. It is a wild, blood-drenched action-horror that feels like a love letter to the kind of "everything and the kitchen sink" genre films we grew up with. We had such a blast breaking down the creative kills, the Sam Raimi-style practical effects, and why this movie is the perfect "watch with a group of friends" experience. If you want to hear Nick and Les geek out over the choreography and the sheer audacity of this flick, sign your name in the book and join our Patreon!

This week, Nick and Les are hitting the ice! We originally intended to dive deep into Netflix’s Strip Law, but after checking out the premiere, it didn’t quite make its case with us. It’s certainly cute, but it left us feeling a bit "meh" - so we’re breaking down exactly where the spark was missing.Instead, we are pivoting to a favorite: Shoresy Season 5! We enjoyed this season a whole lot, but the big question remains: does it glide as smoothly as the previous seasons, or is it starting to catch an edge?

Welcome back to Retro Rentals, the series where we look at the cinematic landscapes that defined our childhoods! This week, we are jumping into the year 2001, when Nick was 11 years old and the world met Mike and Sulley.After our recent look at 1989 (the year Les was 11), we had some lingering thoughts about the "monster under the bed" trope. While Little Monsters from '89 had its charms, Monsters, Inc. feels like the ultimate evolution of that concept. It fixed every narrative hurdle we encountered in our previous 1989 reviews and reminded us why Pixar became the powerhouse it is today.We discuss:The Age 11 Magic: Why the movies we see at eleven years old stick with us forever.World Building: How Monstropolis creates a functioning society out of childhood fears.The Technical Leap: Comparing the practical effects of 1989 to the groundbreaking "fur tech" of 2001.Heart vs. Hype: Why Boo and Sulley’s relationship still holds up as one of the best friendships in film history.Is 2001 the superior "Monster Year" for an eleven year old? Join the conversation and let us know your favorite childhood creature feature at patreon.com/tvdudes.

This week, Nick and Les are heading to Ireland! We are diving deep into the new mystery-comedy from Derry Girls creator Lisa McGee, How to Get to Heaven from Belfast.

Les took a detour into the woods with the new Adams Family horror film, Mother of Flies.

This week, Nick and Les tackle the high-octane world of HBO’s Industry. While the showrunner pick didn't quite land for us, it sparked a fantastic, deep-dive discussion on what makes a workplace drama click and where this one lost us in the shuffle. We’re breaking down the character dynamics and the relentless pace to figure out why this specific financial world felt a bit inaccessible this time around.In the TV Diaries, Nick takes us back to the beginning of the end with a The Walking Dead rewatch! It is a fascinating look at how the landscape of television has shifted since Rick Grimes first woke up in that hospital.#TheWalkingDead #IndustryHBO 

This week, we take a trip back to 1989 for the JCVD classic, KICKBOXER! After our trip last week through the most Aughties of actioners, The One, we decided to check out one of the most Eighties movies to squeak in under the wire at the end of the decade. Is it good? Jesus no. Bloodsport and Lionheart are superior. Does it have the awesome resin-and-broken-beer-bottles fistfight? ABSOLUTELY. But the real star of the show is every single costume choice Van Damme makes, and the dancing. Oh, the dancing...#KICKBOXER #JCVD #TVDudes #1989Movies
