The biggest compliment and criticism of 2018's action heist film Den of Thieves is that it's Heat-lite. But if you're going to try and make a heist movie, riffing off of one of the best ones ever made isn't per se a bad thing, as long as the final result elevates the product. I feel…
As we all know, we lost the wonderful Ray Stevenson in May 2023, a few months before Ahsoka aired on Disney+. Ever since, fans have been wondering what was to happen to Baylan Skoll, the character Stevenson portrayed who went on to become a fan favourite. We now know who will assume the mantle and…
When I saw the runtime for the penultimate episode of Skeleton Crew, I was a bit worried. At thirty-six minutes including recap and credits, it seemed a little too short. I think my worries were justified and I have a feeling that this episode and the upcoming finale may have been conceived as one episode,…
Frédéric Bourgeois-LeBlanc It's hard to avoid if you, like us, read about movies like a priest reads his bible verses: 2024 is not considered to be a 'great' movie year. The obvious reason is that the international blockbuster is failing rapidly. Most of the time, movies are barely able to break even, apart from the…
On Sunday, the Golden Globes kicked off Hollywood's award season with a bang. There is no question that a win can give any film or show a big boost in buzz. While the actual cultural value of these industry awards has been debated, we at ScreenHub Entertainment are happy to say that one of our…
2024 was a bit of a cinematic letdown, but there definitely looks to be some noteworthy gems coming this year. There's quite a lot of sequels and reboots on this list, as is the current state of cinema, but there's quite a few that look engaging and of high quality. Then, what stands out in…
There's been a lot of buzz around The Last Showgirl ever since it premiered at TIFF in September 2024. A big part of that was due to the comeback performance of Pamela Anderson, who has since gone on to be nominated for a Golden Globe for her role in this movie. The film is a…
Episode six of Skeleton Crew was directed by Bryce Dallas Howard and finally put some much needed spotlight on KB. Of the four kids, she's the one who has felt the most sidelined so it was appreciated that the show finally put some attention on her. https://youtu.be/f19gfOMZTtg?si=tjjzhdzBHQsBHFq5 We open up basically where we left off,…
Director Robert Eggers' passion project was always a remake of the 1922 film Nosferatu, but he thought it would be extremely bold of him to remake one of the most iconic horror films of all time as one of his first movies. Now, for his fourth belt and plenty of acclaim to his name, Eggers…
It seems Lucasfilm's Christmas present for fans of Skeleton Crew this year was delivering the shows best episode to date in time for the big day. I've said this show works best when it fully commits to the pirate angle and the fifth episode dives into that angle in a big way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f19gfOMZTtg The only…
Episode four of Skeleton Crew was a bit of a weird one if I'm being honest. After finding the map to At Attin in last week's episode, the crew find themselves on a planet, believing it to be their home world, but discovering a whole different, yet eerily similar, planet instead. But the episode, directed…
As 2025 is almost at our door, the gents rank their personal top five movies of the year so far. Fred has been incredibly busy wearing the fedora in the new Indiana Jones video game, while Sean is excited for The Witcher 4. Also, we'll give you our very first impressions on the surprisingly pleasant…
It seems I was one of a small handful of people who actually saw the latest Lord of the Rings film in cinemas over the weekend. The anime picture, executive produced by Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh of the original trilogy, was an unmitigated box office disaster for the franchise, bringing in less than $5…
Back in October 2024, game studio CD Projekt Red revealed that they were working on a new Witcher game, codenamed Polaris, which would be a whole new game in the franchise. Last night at The Game Awards, we finally learned what it was. The Witcher IV is coming and we couldn't be more excited. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWMu6JeT2g8…
Skeleton Crew's third episode is once again directed by David Lowrey (The Green Knight) and very much feels like a continuation of last week's events. So much so that I wonder if they were initially one whole episode. But while the episode was brief and featured not one, but two escapes, it continued to be…
You may remember that two years ago, in December 2022, Henry Cavill teased that he was going to be involved in a series of projects revolving around the iconic Warhammer 40,000 universe. But the project would only see the light of day if Amazon and Games Workshop would come to a mutual agreement on how…
The next Avengers movie is looking to tap into our nostalgia of the original three phases it seems. First, it was confirmed that Robert Downey Jr. would be returning to the MCU, but this time he would be playing Doctor Doom. At the same time, Marvel alums the Russo Brothers were tapped to direct the…
Younglings never say die. I must admit, I wasn't that interested in the latest Star Wars show to hit Disney+. Skeleton Crew's marketing failed to reel me in, giving the impression the series would be sillier and kiddie for lack of a better term. But despite not being that excited to watch it, I hit…
If you know someone who is a fan of musical theater, please check on them because they have likely been vibrating with excitement for weeks. One of the most iconic modern Broadway musicals finally has a theatrical adaptation, and the anticipation in the “theater kid” fandom has been insane. But does Wicked Part 1 live…
Spoilers ahead Much like the original Gladiator, there are a slew of historical inaccuracies with Gladiator II. Unlike Napoleon, which was framed as a biopic, we tend to forgive Gladiator for altering history because it's not trying to be a retelling of historical events. The involvement of Maximus alone derails a lot of these focal…
Gladiator II is one of those movies that I've simultaneously been incredibly excited for, yet very concerned about. I didn't exactly think the original Gladiator film needed a sequel, especially after all these years, and director Ridley Scott has been, well, inconsistent as of late, to say the least. But after twenty-four years (sixteen in-universe),…
Despite not being a practicing Catholic, I must admit some level of bizarre fascination with the history and politics of the Church. So when I learned that there was to be a cinematic adaptation of Robert Harris' 2016 novel Conclave, I was intrigued. Having already read the book, I knew this movie would likely ruffle…
I have written before about the iconic indie film director Kevin Smith. It is no secret that I am a fan of him, as a director and as a person. So it is always nice to see him excited about a new project, especially when the title of that project could very well be Dogma…
With the conclusion of The Penguin on HBO last week, we usher in a new series that's also an offshoot of a Warner product. But where the exploits of Oz Cobb sunk its hooks into me in no small part to its stellar writing and top-notch performances, Dune: Prophecy stumbles with its first of six…
Early work on a new Friday Night Lights series is reportedly in the works over at Universal TV. Jason Katims, Pete Berg and Brian Grazer are confirmed to be involved, who were all producers and/or showrunners on the original five-season run, will be involved in the project should it move into production. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AG37AylK1_s The project…
Gladiator II is just around the corner after what feels like an eternity of waiting for it. While this particular iteration of the movie has been in some level of production for a few years, the idea of doing a sequel to the Best Picture-winning Gladiator can be traced back to 2001, less than a…
The Penguin's finale wrapped up a lot of the plot points of this TV mini-series while also serving as something of a jumping off point for the upcoming film, The Batman Part II. It was brutal, sad, and once again, full of great performances. I still question elements of this show, that being said, but…
Actor Tony Todd, best known for his iconic horror roles in the Candyman films, has died at the age of 69. He passed away Wednesday at his home in Marina del Rey after a long illness, his wife told The Hollywood Reporter. He is best known by horror fans for his long career in the…
Deadline reported today that a new Star Wars trilogy is in the works over at Lucasfilm. Simon Kinberg, best know for his work writing The X-Men films Apocalypse, The Last Stand, and Dark Pheonix, as well as being heavily involved with Star Wars Rebels, will write and produce the films. Sources close to Deadline dispute…
Happy N7 Day Mass Effect fans. And to celebrate, Amazon MGM Studios have announced that they're going to be developing a TV show based on the popular video game series. We don't yet know if this will be an adaptation of the games or a brand new story, a la Fallout, but it will be…
After a two-month break, the gents are back. Sean is live from his new home as they catch-up on most recent TV shows like The Penguin on HBO Max. Also, for the first time ever, and without planning anything, they are both drinking the same thing! Cheers to you, dear listeners.

The Penguin slides into its penultimate episode with a flashback-heavy episode, this time focusing on the early childhood of one Ozwald Cobb while simultaneously pushing the present-day narrative forward in an explosive way. It made for a shorter-than-usual episode, but one that still hinged on great writing and acting, with a brutal revelation early on.…
Episode six of The Penguin was one of those episodes that pushed the plot forward in more character-driven moments, while also setting the stage for the end of the season. The show featured some kind of time jump, as Oz's Bliss empire has grown quite a bit, but I have a feeling dark days are…
The still-untitled Star Wars film focusing on Rey after the events of The Rise of Skywalker has lost its second writer. After Damon Lindeloff and Justin Britt-Gibson stepped away from the project, acclaimed writer Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders, Rogue Heroes) stepped in to fill the role in early 2023. But, per Variety, Knight has also…
Sequels to Predator range in quality from decent to exhausting, which is why it was a pleasant surprise that Prey, the prequel film that streamed on Hulu, was so awesome. Many fans consider it to be the second-best in the franchise, so it was no surprise that 20th Century Studios wanted to continue working with…
I'm keeping this spoiler-free in case you've never seen Scream 2. It seems like just yesterday that it was the 25th anniversary of Scream, one of my favourite horror films of all time. The success of that film naturally spawned a sequel that came out one year later and considering Halloween is upon us, it…
While this week's episode of The Penguin wasn't as amazing as last week's supremely excellent offering, it was still a gripping piece of television that moved the plot forward in needful meaningful ways and made the audience question if we're really supposed to be rooting for the titular lead. Battle lines were drawn and actions…
Much like how I knew episode nine of FX's Shogun would net Anna Sawai an Emmy, episode four of The Penguin seems tailor-made for Cristin Milioti's "for your consideration" next year. A powerhouse of an episode, Cent'Anni focuses in on Sofia Falcone and gives us fascinating insight into her character thanks to an episode long…
Oz takes a bit of a backseat in this week's episode of The Penguin to finally shine a light on Vic, the stuttering teen working as his driver. He's been a bit of a wallflower the past two episodes, but in this week's entry, the attention shifts firmly to his point of view, showcasing his…
Spoilers The Rings of Power's second season is now concluded and it's safe to say it was an overall improvement over season one. That said, the show was wildly inconsistent and some episodes really suffered from this as a result. But the season's finale was much better than the first season's rushed finale and set…
