Shakened and Stirred: Amazon MGM Take Control of 007 Franchise – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
On Thursday, it was revealed that James Bond co-owners and long-time producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson will be stepping down from their duties on the 007 franchise, allowing Amazon MGM to gain complete creative control over the decades-long franchise. Amazon purchased MGM in 2017 and with that, gained distribution rights to the James…
Looking Back On ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’ – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
We're just around the corner from the release of the fourth Captain America film, subtitled Brave New World, which will be the cinematic debut of Sam Wilson's take on the stars and stripes. So now seems as good a time as any to look back on the second film in that franchise, The Winter Soldier.…
‘Reign of Fire’ Is A Surprisingly Underrated Dragon Movie- ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
In the dead of winter, it's always fun to find those comfort movies to get through the long days. And while the 2002 dragon film Reign of Fire may not be campy or "so bad it's good", it's often criminally overlooked and its contribution to how pop culture designs dragons cannot be understated. Not only…
Film & Spirits Episode 65: Let’s Talk About Those Tariffs / Fantastic 4 & Jurassic World / Wedding Movies – ScreenHub Entertainment
There has been a LOT of news lately, especially targeted at us Canadians. Let's talk about it...if you don't mind. It resulted in a slightly different episode than usual, but we needed to talk about it. As Fred is getting married in a few weeks, the gents will discuss romantic and wedding movies they rather…
‘Captain America: Brave New World’ Spoiler-Free Review – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
Caption America: Brave New World is the 35th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the fourth in the Captain series. So going into the movie, it's pretty reasonable to feel a bit cautious and maybe not that excited. The MCU has been hurting these past years and a lot of the new characters have…
‘Forza Horizon 5’ Coming to PS5 – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
Forza, one of the big three franchises of the Xbox console (the other two being Gears of War and Halo) is officially coming to Sony's PlayStation 5 this spring with the release of Forza Horizon 5. This comes directly from Forza themselves, who announced the game. Developer Turn 10 is working with Panic Button Studios…
Did You Enjoy ‘Skeleton Crew’? You Should Watch ‘Treasure Planet’ – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
Star Wars: Skeleton Crew has wrapped up and if you're anything like me, you enjoyed the show for its swashbuckling adventures. It seems that over the course of its eight episodes, the biggest (and most obvious) comparison made was between it and The Goonies, and rightfully so. A group of kids end up on a…
Film & Spirits EPISODE 64 – Skeleton Crew finale / Nosferatu / Den of Thieves 2 / Most anticipated of 2025 – ScreenHub Entertainment
The gents are back for 2025! Happy New Year to all our listeners. To start this new season in full force, we have a packed episode where we chat about the season one finale of Skeleton Crew, our new favourite movie Nosferatu, the sequel to Den of Thieves 2 now in theatres, as well as…
[Updated] TikTok Is Back (For Now) – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
Update: TikTok appears to be working again for many American users. The latest message states, "Welcome back!" and cites their return as "a result of President Trump's efforts." Original story follows. American users woke up this morning to find that their Tiktok account is no longer working. This is because of a new US law…
‘Den of Thieves 2: Pantera’ Review – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
Den of Thieves wasn't without its faults but despite them, it found an audience thanks to word-of-mouth recommendations that garnered the film a little cult following. Now, seven years later, the first sequel has been unleashed. But Den of Thieves 2: Pantera is a very different animal than the first one, so much so that…
‘The Blood of Dawnwalker’: New Game From ‘The Witcher 3’ Director – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
While The Blood of Dawnwalker is, admittedly, a pretty generic title that sounds like it'll be a free-to-play mobile game, it's definitely not and if you're a fan of The Witcher games, it should be something to keep an eye on. The Witcher 3 has cast a very large shadow over the gaming industry, rightfully…
Star Wars Skeleton Crew: ‘The Real Good Guys’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
With eight episodes in the bag, Skelton Crew comes to an end with an exciting, action-packed finale that feels essential. Sometimes, entertainment puts a big action scene at the end of their story because they feel they're mandated to do so, and while sometimes it works, just as often it doesn't. Skeleton Crew hit that…
Will ‘The Siege’ Predict the Future Again Under President Trump?- ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
Note: With the second inauguration of Donald Trump looming, remembering some of his previous comments and actions have brought this underrated and highly relevant film to the front of my mind. Some spoilers to follow. Like all art forms, movies are influenced by our past and present. But occasionally, a film will be so aware…
‘Den of Thieves’ is Surprisingly Good Despite Its Flaws – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
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…
‘Game of Thrones’ Alum Steps Into The Role of Baylon Skoll In ‘Ahsoka’ Season Two – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
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…
Star Wars Skeleton Crew: ‘We’re Going To Be In So Much Trouble’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
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,…
2024 Reviewed: The Best Movies According To Our Writers – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
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…
What Awards Did ‘Shogun’ Win at the Golden Globes? – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
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…
Our Most Anticipated Films 2025 – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
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…
‘The Last Showgirl’ Review – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
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…
Star Wars Skeleton Crew: ‘Zero Friends Again’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
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,…
Succumb To The Darkness: ‘Nosferatu’ Review – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
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…
Star Wars Skeleton Crew: ‘You Have A Lot To Learn About Pirates’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
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…
Star Wars: Skeleton Crew: ‘Can’t Say I Remember No At Attin’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
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…
Film & Spirits EPISODE 63 – Top 5 Movies of the Year / Skeleton Crew / Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on Xbox – ScreenHub Entertainment
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…
‘The Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim’ Review – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
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…
‘The Witcher IV’ Is Coming, What We Know – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
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…
Star Wars: Skeleton Crew: ‘Very Interesting, as an Astrogation Problem’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
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…
Chris Evans To Return To The MCU In ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
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…
For The Imperium! ‘Warhammer 40,000’ A Go At Amazon – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
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…
‘Star Wars: Skeleton Crew’ Episodes 1+2 Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
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…
Is The ‘Wicked’ Movie Worth Watching? Spoiler Free Review – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
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…
‘Gladiator II’ Fact or Fiction – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
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…
Was I Entertained? ‘Gladiator II’ Spoiler-Free Review – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
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),…
‘Conclave’ Spoiler-Free Review – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
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…
Kevin Smith Isn’t Making ‘Dogma 2’, But He’s Thinking About it Really Hard – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
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…
Dune: Prophecy Episode 1 ‘The Hidden Hand’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
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…
New ‘Friday Night Lights’ Show In The Works At Universal – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
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…
Inside Nick Cave’s Original Pitch For ‘Gladiator II’ – ScreenHub Entertaiment – ScreenHub Entertainment
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 Finale: ‘A Great or Little Thing’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
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…
