Ok it’s been two weeks: the twist in THE DRAMA is that Zendaya used to try and shoot the dog in DUCK HUNT.

LEE CRONIN’S THE MUMMY is a crazy movie title because you just assume it’s like BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA or MARY SHELLEY’S FRANKENSTEIN, and Lee Cronin must be the author of the famous horror novel THE MUMMY.
I wonder if back when BLAZING SADDLES opened there were people complaining, “You couldn’t make PILLOW TALK today!” Like this is the first time in history anything’s gone out of style.
When people talk about how they don’t make comedies like in the aughts anymore, they’re talking about stuff like THE HANGOVER and KNOCKED UP. But I miss all the weirdo comedies we got like BE KIND REWIND, THE LADYKILLERS and HOT ROD that all felt like were made for four people.
A lot of people are complaining about Prime showing a lot of ads and lowering their streaming quality unless you cough up more bucks. But how else is Amazon, a small company, expected to make money?
New Pod!
IS IT A SPOILER IF IT’S THE PREMISE? (w. Kevin Hartford)
We're thrilled to bring filmmaker Kevin Hartford for some drama about the new drama THE DRAMA. Suffice it to say, we don't all see eye-to-eye on this one, but that's what makes this country great.

Now Pink Floyd has to change the name of its album DARK SIDE OF THE MOON to MORE OF THE SAME BULLSHIT. Thanks science.
The AVATAR video game requires hunting, but the bow and arrow skill is tough to master. The game should praise my ingenuity instead of getting mad at me for punching the wildlife to death.
It’s a great film, but I think a lot of the inequality in America can be traced back to Kyle Reese stealing that homeless man’s pants in THE TERMINATOR. We were just supposed to forget about it for the rest of the movie.
“Hey kids. Go see my hilarious comedy THE ANIMAL this weekend and then, please, die in a war.”
Thinking about the future of women in north america, where they are literally policed to make sure they're wearing regulated gender conforming outfits, hair, makeup, etc. All because of a nonexistent panic that no one at large really had an interest in
When I was 11, the local theatre gave me this randomly selected poster with a large popcorn purchase and I had it on my wall all through jr. high and high school. I’m no expert on what happens in this film, but I’m TEAM STRICTLY BUSINESS and it should be in the Criterion Collection.
Was it when the camera zoomed into the picture of Jesus?
I just ordered THE ADVENTURES OF BARON MUNCHAUSEN from Criterion's 4K sale. I haven't seen this movie since I was ten, but back then I thought it was basically the greatest movie I'd ever seen.
People get so nostalgic for the ‘90s, but back then people had erasers shaped like watermelon slices and stuff and if you tried to use one to erase something it would break in half. So it wasn’t all sunshine and roses.
This film, which you have never heard of, is going to be huge. It’s also four hours long, so no wonder everyone had to pee. The poster looks cool.
I was at Park Lane last night to see READY OR NOT 2: HYPERCUBE and for the first time in my life got caught in a lineup for the theatre’s men’s room. It was 40-people long and went past the concession stand. It’s because this movie DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE, a sequel to 2025’s DHURANDHAR, just ended.
Every trailer now does this thing where the cast’s names appear subsequently in a vertical column with each reveal accompanied by the sound of a gun firing. I noticed it before it was cool.
Saint Patrick’s Day is a weird yearly occurrence where everyone gets publicly drunk and then goes home to watch the Tom Cruise/Nicole Kidman film FAR AND AWAY. Sometimes people mess up by watching ROB ROY or HIGHLANDER instead, but those are the wrong culture.
This is probably less realistic that the scene in SHE’S ALL THAT where teenagers rap the PLOT of the movie, though likely as unrealistic. I live in an arts community and have never witnessed either occurrence.
People would be debating the politics of ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER less if PTA did what he did in MAGNOLIA and had a scene where a little kid raps the themes of the movie.
I used to have a MuchMusic Video Dance Party shirt (I won it at a school dance) and back then it was the dorkiest t-shirt I owned. Today, it would be one of the coolest.
And don’t get me started on that EUPHORIA show.
SCARY MOVIE isn’t scary; it’s funny. And FUNNY GAMES isn’t funny; it’s scary. If you need any more proof the media is lying to you!
Look, I’m glad they got the original artists on stage to sing “Golden” but have they heard my nephew sing it??
Ever notice that aliens aren’t making crop circles anymore? This isn’t normal.
The elite think the iceberg event of the last 20 years is “woke.” The worst thing that can happen to these people is someone annoys them.
I should promo my podcast here more.
Anyway, here’s our new ep where Serena and I team up with
the How'd You Like That Movie guys to vote on the best and worst Best Picture nominee of the 21st Century. All determinations are final.

Did you see there’s a new AI influencer with two heads? I l’m conflicted because I want to be against AI influencers but I also think this may be good publicity for people with two heads.
You know who hasn’t gotten mad at Timothee Chalamet for dissing ballet? Ana de Armas. You’d think she’d have fought him by now.
