Movie Punditry

Join Mike and Randell as they bring you their hot takes and cosmic wisdom on all things film and Tv, especially if it contains superheroes and Wookies. Also available on Apple, Spotify, Stitcher and Doggcatcher.

Zack Snyder Was Right

Now that James Gunn's Superman is on HBO Max, the gloves are off. Randell and Mike take a deep dive into where the DCU is headed, why the Snyderverse was better (so far) and why people sold Man of Steel short. We also get Mike's Season 1 recap of Alien: Earth, talk the MCU and why Thunderbolts* may not be a great sign, and then take a look at the news that bog box retailers like Costco and Target are taking the XBox off the shelves in favor of PS5 and Switch.

Random Rewatch: Face/Off

When you really need to get information that a comatose bad guy has, just swap your face with theirs. Easy. Or so this gonzo 90's action thriller would have you believe. Take Nicolas Cage in the midst of his action movie phase, a John Travolta on a comeback, and a then-little known Hong Kong director with a unique vision, and you somehow get an extremely entertaining film to waste an afternoon with.
