    House of the Dragon S3:E1 | Is Chaos Really A Ladder🤔?

    House of the Dragon is back on HBO and we get back into the action very quickly! We get the biggest naval battle in the history of Westeros, a sheep stealing dragon, hardheaded nobles, Aemond being a weirdo, Daemon slicing and dicing, Corlys trying to be a dad to his “son,” Alicent reminding us that she’s the worst mom ever, and absolute Game of Thrones carnage that was very absent from season two.

    Disclosure Day | Alien Magic + Human Empathy = Two Special People

    Disclosure Day, by one of our greatest directors Steven Spielberg, is a conspiracy thriller masquerading as a sci-film flick. The point of the film has not escaped us, but we definitely talk about some its glaring issues, things we loved, and laugh at some things that are probably not meant to be funny. If you saw Disclosure Day, let us know in comments how you felt about it.Please!

    Earth, Wind, & Fire (2026) HBO | The Life and Times of Maurice White: The Visionary Conundrum

    We were blessed to have Questlove produce an excellent documentary about the band that has had the most influence on our lives: Earth, Wind, & Fire. Even though we highlight all of the band members, it’s really a documentary that focuses on Maurice, the visionary and founder of EWF. This is one of the more honest, open, heartfelt, and interesting musical documentaries made to date. With secrets unearthed and revelations revealed, we learn a lot about the influence and impact of EWF over the decades.Please!

    Masters Of The Universe (2026) | It’s REALLY Fun!!!

    Masters of the Universe (2026) drops in a jam packed summer movie season as the nostalgia cartoon remake that might be a few years too late.

    Spider-Noir | A Lot Of Y’all Don’t Understand What “Noir” Is

    Spider-Noir on Amazon Prime is a take on the black and white Spider-Man from the comics and is played by Nicolas Cage, who also played a version of this character from Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse. This post WW1/prohibition/Great Depression era world sees Ben Reilly, a retired Spider-Man who has to find a new reason to be a hero, since the normal Spidey tragedy happens to him. This is a fairly true to the classic film noir stylings and Cage goes full Nick Cage and we absolutely loved it.0:00 - The Spider/Intro1:10 - Initial impressions6:00 - Noir has two definitions8:50 - A who’s who of character actors11:40 - The Spider of it all 18:00 - Some of yall don’t under the “noir” in Spider-Noir23:35 - It’s a good story53:30 - What we’vebeen watching/What’s next

    Michael (2026) | Pure Nostalgia & Vibes

    The entire crew saw Michael and we definitely are high on nostalgia. From kid MJ to MJ breaking away from his family, Michael is a music heavy biopic that tries to humanize the once larger than life entertainer. Jaafar Jackson channels Michael and gives an amazing performance of older Mike in his first acting role ever. Colman Domingo plays a menacing Joe Jackson and Nia Long as the comforting Catherine, the movie shows MJ wanting to be creatively free and cinematically does so. Please!

    Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord S1:E3&4 | It’s In Their Nature To Be Like That

    Maul is doing very Sith-like things in episodes 3 and 4 of Maul: Shadow Lord. He’s still trying to make an apprentice Devon, while Daki wants to save his padawan. Lawson is kind of a deadbeat dad and his droid Two Boots is a snitch. Vario is the ultimate setup person, as the Pikes don’t know he is a literal Trojan horse. Janix gets the unfortunate arrival of the galaxy’s “peacekeepers” and all hell is about to break loose.Please!

    Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord | No Darth, Still Mad

    Maul is back and he’s doing what he does best: getting revenge on his enemies. We’re on the planet Janix and the criminal underworld is moving heavy work. Maul is moving like a methodical, thoughtful Sith as he tries to draw out his enemies. We also have a Jedi and Padawan that are vagabonds living in squalor, Maul feels he can take advantage of a young mind to further his exploits. This gritty and violent series is more in line with the Clone Wars and it’s looking like Maul, a couple of Zabraks, and the remaining Mauldalorians are going to wreak havoc on Janix.Please!

    Wonder Man | C’mon Disney, Ya Gotta Take RISKS!!!!

    Wonder Man on Disney Plus, a “Marvel Spotlight,” is a character driven show that centers around one struggling actor Simon Williams, and our favorite character actor (the Mandarin himself) Trevor Slattery. Simon has a secret and so does Trevor. They both are vying for roles in the same movies and places in each others hearts. This is a tremendously acted, solidly written show that was seemingly dumped all at once. Is Disney afraid to be different and is this stance hindering the creativity of everything under their umbrella? Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Sir Ben Kingsley have no business playing these characters with this amount of heart and earnest for an MCU tv show, but they do and they deliver. Please!

    A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight Ep. 1 | Can Thrones Be A Comedy?

    Would you believe me if I told you there would be a Game of Thrones spinoff that was equal parts comedy, fish out of water, and a lone wolf and cub story combined? Of course you would think I was a liar, but I’m not. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight is a surprisingly funny, positive, and non-cynical look into the world that we’ve grown accustomed to being lewd, lascivious, and full of lies. Ser Duncan the Tall and his bald-headed buddy Egg are essentially trying to find a place in the world and the pilot episode craftily sets expectations for the rest of the season.Please!

    Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery | Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely

    Rian Johnson is back on Netflix with Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery and this starts off as a bit of a mystery in comparison to the prior iterations of this franchise. This star-studded cast includes Jeffrey Wright, Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Thomas Haden Church, and of course Daniel Craig, to name a few. This mystery centers around a Catholic Church in a small town, where a young, but troubled, upstart priest gets sent there to pay recompense and mature as a man of the cloth. Mystery ensues and our favorite guy Benoit shows up to figure out the killer in this surprisingly introspective whodunnit. Please!

    Pluribus S1:E8 | The Pleasure Principle

    The Hive is trying to butter up Carol with some booty, while Carol is trying to individuate Zosia to the point of having her believe in her own personhood. Meanwhile, Manousos still doesn’t want any help, as his trek to meet Carol in person draws closer. This was the penultimate episode of this highly intriguing and entertaining Apple TV+ series.

    Pluribus S1:E7 | Being Alone Vs Being Lonely

    The gap between Carol and Manousos closes in distance, but widens in ideology as these two want the same thing and are going about it in drastically different ways. Carol is starting to feel the effects of prolonged isolation, while Manousos is rejecting the notion that the hive provides and still managing to utilize his time wisely. Please!

    Pluribus S1:E6 | Nice Guys Finish First

    What happens in Vegas, well, the hive knows. Carol is reeling after we see what she discovers in cold storage, while Diabaté is living the life he always wanted. The main takeaway from this episode is clearly you get so much more out of life (people, too) when you kind. Carol still is struggling with this, as cynicism and skepticism are melded with the privilege she once had. Manousos down in Paraguay gets Carol’s message and finally gets activated.Please!

    PLUR1BUS S1:E1,2 | When Whiteness Doesn’t Matter

    Pluribus on Apple TV+ is a show that quickly devolves into chaos, as the world violently falls into what can be only described as a utopia. Our main character Carol is going through it, as she tries to wrap her mind around the events that are happening. The twist of this pseudo post-apocalypse is one that should be seen and not told, so if you haven’t watch this yet, it’s definitely worth the price of admission. Please!
