Across the Movie Aisle

On this week’s episode, we asked what on Earth Paul Schrader is doing getting dumped by an AI girlfriend. Then they reviewed The Mandalorian and Grogu, a movie that is nominally set in the Star Wars universe and has Star Wars-like elements but feels somewhat … lacking … for those of us with a long-term relationship to the series. But did Sonny’s kids love it? And is that all that really matters? You’ll want to listen to this week’s episode ahead of our bonus episode, which contains the definitive ranking of all Star Wars live-action theatrical movies. That episode is roughly as long as a normal episode. I’m just telling you now: You’re going to want to hear the whole thing. Sign up now if you haven’t already!

On this week’s episode, we went long on the silly kerfuffle surrounding the casting of The Odyssey. From Helen to Achilles (or possibly Elpenor, or maybe Tiresias), no casting choice is safe from Elon Musk and his crack investigators. Then we review In the Grey, a movie that’s only really meant for Guy Ritchie completists … and maybe not even most of them. Make sure to swing by Thursday for our bonus episode on the death of American cool. And if you enjoyed this episode, share it with a friend!

On this week’s episode, we bid adieu to films for one segment and discussed the least-probable game show of all time: Wordle! It’ll likely raise an ocean of viewers … but will it be great? Then we talked The Sheep Detectives, a delightful talking animal movie. Sure, it’s nice: but is it any good? We’ll let you know. Make sure to swing by Thursday for our bonus episode on Mortal Kombat II. And if you enjoyed this episode, please share it with a friend!

On this week’s episode, we ask if $50 is a reasonable price to pay for a single 70mm IMAX movie ticket. Then we review The Devil Wears Prada 2, a rather generic movie about journalism. Make sure to swing by Thursday for our bonus episode previewing the summer releases. And if you enjoyed this episode, please share it with a friend!

On this week’s episode, we take a sideways look into the sexual harassment suit filed against Mr. Beast. (That’s right: It’s a cons and nons pulled from the chat! It’s only for members, so sign up now if you want to help influence the show!)
Then we review Michael. Sure, it’s dramatically inert, and yes, it whitewashes many of the potentially criminal activities Michael Jackson engaged in with children, but at least it also makes his music kind of boring! It’s a fairly savage review portion of the show. Not gonna lie. If you enjoyed it, share it with a friend!
