The Conjuring: Last Rites Movie Review — the chilling finale to the Warrens’ story!I still remember seeing the very first Conjuring on opening night in a packed theater and being blown away by the atmosphere, scares, and heart.

The film follows Hank Thompson (Austin Butler), a former high-school baseball phenom turned bartender whose life spirals into mayhem after a simple favor: cat-sitting for his punk-rock neighbor.

Peacemaker Season 2 ReviewJames Gunn’s Peacemaker is BACK and louder, bloodier, and more absurd than ever with Season 2 — and it’s still one of the wildest rides in the DCU. Taking place after The Suicide Squad and Season 1, this new chapter cements Gunn’s tone for the DC Universe as we await Superman (2025). Packed with insane action, hilarious banter, and jaw-dropping DC connections, Peacemaker Season 2 is both a continuation of what made the first season so good and a bold expansion of the story. 🎬 There’s more Vigilante chaos, even crazier missions, and a surprising amount of heart beneath the gore and absurdity. James Gunn’s DCU is clearly unafraid to get weird — and I’m HERE for it. This is Zach Pope’s spoiler-free review of Peacemaker Season 2 on Max.Following the explosive events of the first season, Christopher Smith aka Peacemaker (John Cena) finds himself pulled back into Amanda Waller’s orbit — whether he likes it or not. With new teammates, bigger threats, and even more ridiculous situations, Peacemaker’s journey forces him to confront his past while still delivering justice… in the most messed-up way possible.#Peacemaker #DCU #JamesGunn #PeacemakerSeason2 #DCComics #DC #MoviesFind Me Elsewhere in the Multiverse:Business Inquiries: Zachpopereviews@gmail.comInstagram: @zachhpopeTwitter(X): @popethekingTiktok: @zachhpopePodcast Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@Hotmic_gamingPodcast: Into the Geekverse with Zach Pope on Spotify + AppleKeywords: peacemaker season 2 review,peacemaker review,peacemaker dcu review,peacemaker james gunn review,james gunn peacemaker review,peacemaker season 2 review james gunn,james gunn peacemaker season 2 review,peacemaker a great continuation of the dcu,peacemaker dc review,zach pope,dc universe peacemaker,peacemaker season 2 hbo max review,peacemaker season 2 spoiler free review,peacemaker season 2 max review

FIXED (2025) Movie ReviewFrom the director of Samurai Jack and Primal comes one of the wildest adult animated comedies of the year… and it’s about a dog trying to enjoy his last 24 hours before getting neutered. Genndy Tartakovsky’s Fixed is insane, outrageous, and visually stunning — but sadly, not as funny or memorable as it should be.In my review, I break down the film’s over-the-top antics, Tartakovsky’s direction, and why Fixed doesn’t quite live up to its creative potential. It’s bold and unique in concept, but ultimately more bark than bite.Watch my full thoughts to see where I land and let me know your take in the comments!

WEAPONS (2025) Movie ReviewZach Cregger, the mind behind Barbarian, returns with Weapons — a bold and mysterious horror-thriller from New Line Cinema. Starring Josh Brolin, Julia Garner, Alden Ehrenreich, and Benedict Wong, the film sets up a chilling puzzle when an entire classroom of children vanishes on the same night, leaving one behind and a whole town questioning reality.Weapons was one of my most anticipated films of the year, and while it features strong performances, disturbing imagery, and some truly thought-provoking ideas, it didn’t quite hit as hard as I’d hoped. There’s ambition in every frame and some incredibly unique concepts at play, but I left wanting more—more emotion, more clarity, and more punch.In my review, I break down the film’s layered narrative, Cregger’s direction, and the haunting atmosphere. Weapons is well-crafted and unsettling, but despite its strengths, it ultimately left me feeling a bit cold and wanting more from the entire concept.

THE NAKED GUN (2025) Movie ReviewI just got out of seeing the brand-new The Naked Gun reboot — and WOW, this is the PERFECT comedy comeback! This film captures the spirit of the original in every ridiculous, side-splitting, slapstick-filled moment. It’s everything I wanted in a Naked Gun movie and more.From absurd visual gags to Liam Neeson’s surprisingly spot-on comedic timing, this movie delivers nonstop laughs. It pokes fun at modern tropes, embraces meta humor, and still manages to feel like a spiritual sequel to the Leslie Nielsen classics. This is parody done right in 2025 — and I truly believe this is a PERFECT Naked Gun movie.Let’s dive into my movie review! Did YOU laugh as hard as I did?Plot Summary:When hard-nosed but clueless cop Frank Drebin Jr. is pulled out of retirement (again) to stop a ridiculous global conspiracy involving AI toilets, exploding kombucha, and a rogue TikTok cult, chaos follows. Along the way, expect plenty of pratfalls, questionable disguises, and more one-liners than you can count.
