Big news for Linkin Park fans was revealed on Thursday. The iconic Nu Metal/Alternative Rock band is back with a new album, a new tour, and some new bandmates. Following a series of cryptic social media and a mysterious 100-hour countdown, fans got their first look at the re-formed rock group with a new energy…
‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’: ‘Eldest’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
Thanks to dropping three episodes at once last week, The Rings of Power is already at its mid-season point with this week's episode and I certainly felt like the show was a bit lost this week. The dwarves, Celebrimbor, and Sauron were noticeably absent this week, which created a somewhat unfulfilling episode. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzJDzIDv0mo This week,…
‘Twisters’ and the Magic of Effects Done Well – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
For those who came of age after the early 90s, it can be hard to understand just how groundbreaking CGI was to audiences at the time. And one of the biggest champions of that revolution was the 1996 film, Twister. Though the film was met with a decidedly chilly reception at the time of its…
Film & Spirits EPISODE 60: House of the Dragon S2 Review / Alien: Romulus – ScreenHub Entertainment
As we celebrate Sean's purchase of a new home, the gents also FINALLY discuss what they thought of House of the Dragon season two and their great surprise over Alien: Romulus in theatres. Apple https://open.spotify.com/episode/2mtqLW8ihiiz4RV3Y9ozDO?si=KDMuEbMiSeeV2GT4JgALeA
‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’ Season 2, Episodes 1-3 Spoiler-Free Review – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
Amazon's The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is back for a second season after a two-year wait. Perhaps it's that long wait that persuaded the studio to drop three episodes at once for the premiere, rivalling the theatrical cuts of Peter Jackson's Middle-earth films. It's no secret that the first season's reception…
‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ Review- ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
It should be noted that I'm not the biggest fan of the Planet of the Apes franchise. I've never seen the originals, or the Burton remake, but I have seen the reboot trilogy. Of those three, I only really liked Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, so I wasn't in any huge rush to…
‘The Crow’ (2024) Doesn’t Suck! A Spoiler-Free Review – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
There have been a lot of emotions swirling around the new adaptation of The Crow. While it is tempting to compare this adaptation of the classic graphic novel to the 1994 version starring Brandon Lee, I believe that individual adaptations should be judged on their own merits. So if you are able to leave your…
‘The Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrm’ Explained – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
Yesterday, Warner Bros dropped the first trailer for The Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim, the first film set in Middle-earth to hit the big screen since the third Hobbit film. Unlike that prequel, which has recognizable names like Bilbo and Gandalf, War of the Rohirrim is set some 200 years before the…
‘Alien: Romulus’ – A Very Spoilery Summation – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
Since its release, Alien: Romulus has been met with similar polarizing responses to previous incarnations of the franchise, but this time around they've skewed more toward the positive. The film does employ a lot of elements from previous franchise entries, even some of the less beloved ones, making a stew of chaos and suspense all…
First Time: ‘Alien 3’ Theatrical Cut Review – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
Believe it or not, I had never seen Alien 3 in my life. But with all the buzz around Alien: Romulus, I figured I would check out this controversial movie that also just so happens to be the directorial debut of David Fincher. I could only get access to the theatrical cut, not the Assembly…
‘Alien Covenant’ Tries To Be Both Alien 5 and Prometheus 2 At The Same Time With Mixed Results – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
Fans and critics were a little miffed when Ridley Scott released Prometheus, as it felt very detached from the Alien franchise, so much so that it's the only film in the franchise to not have "Alien" in the title. To help bring things back on track, the follow-up to that movie would not be Prometheus…
“Alien: Romulus” Review (non-spoiler) – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
Although the movie slate for 2024 got us 'partly' excited, this is one of the few exceptions where we, sci-fi fanboys, were getting really hyped. The Alien franchise is back, with a brand-new filmmaker behind the helm of the ship! Directed by highly capable horror director Fede Álvarez, the mind behind Don't Breathe (2016) and…
‘Prometheus’ Is Actually An Interesting Sci-Fi Film, But Not A Great ‘Alien’ Film – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
Alien: Romulus is about to release and I figured I'd try and slip in a few Alien-related films before going to check out Fede Álvarez's entry. I had already watched Ridley Scott's original Alien and James Cameron's Aliens somewhat recently, so that left the option of going to Aliens 3 or venturing back to Prometheus,…
RDJ is Back in the MCU, and it’s Still a Terrible Idea – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
Amid the madness and majesty of the pop culture explosion that is San Diego Comic-Con, a piece of unbelievable news was revealed. In a crowded Hall H, Kevin Feige announced that Robert Downey Jr. would return to the MCU as the villain Dr. Doom. Here's why that is a bigger deal than you think, and…

The movie we've all been expecting is finally here! The gents review Deadpool & Wolverine, which was a pleasant experience overall. They also share some thoughts on Guy Ritchie's The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare and Robert Downey Jr's surprise appearance at the San Diego Comic-Con.

Opinion: We Need To Talk About Alicent in Season Two of ‘House of the Dragon’ – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
Spoilers for season two of House of the Dragon. I recently reviewed House of the Dragon's second season and finale and you may have noticed that any sort of mention or criticism towards Alicent was absent from the review. I debated including it, but thought this topic was too complex for a few sentences in…
House of the Dragon Episode Eight: ‘The Queen Who Ever Was’ & Overall Season Two Thoughts – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
Episode eight of House of the Dragon's second season would have been a great penultimate episode, but it comes up as a surprise disappointment for the finale. With a reduced episode count, the season barreled toward a conclusion that largely felt like nothing more than set up for events to come, while simultaneously dragging its…
Another ‘John Wick’ Spinoff Is Coming – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
The John Wick universe continues to grow. With The Continental out now and Ballerina on the way, we can now add another TV show to the franchise. The next show has been revealed as John Wick: Under the High Table, and will see Keanu Reeves return as a co-producer on the series, but not as…
Finally: ‘The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare’ Review – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare hit the big screen earlier this year, but only in the US. I wrote about this in length, citing how frustrating and lame such a business decision was, especially when the marketing failed to highlight that the film would not be coming to the rest of the world on the…
Robert Downey Jr. Is Doctor Doom! But Is This A Good Idea? – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
During Marvel's panel at the 2024 San Diego Comic-Con, the big reveal was that Robert Downey Jr. would be returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but not as Tony Stark. RDJ would be taking on the mantle of another masked figure though, that being the villainous Doctor Doom, one of Marvel's most iconic and fearsome…
A Clever Satire, With a Deeper Message: ‘Coup!’ Spoiler-Free Review – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
What if the class structures of the early 1900s, which aren't really that much different than they are today, were isolated and broken down bit by bit? The movie Coup! attempts to do just that, taking its eccentric cast of characters on an adventure through anarchy, madness, and self-discovery. Can it successfully blend this heavy…
House of the Dragon Episode 7 ‘The Red Sowing’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
It's a bit hard to believe that this week's episode of House of the Dragon was, in fact, the penultimate for the season. Episode seven, titled The Red Sowing, built on the foundation of last week's entry by focusing on the concept of the Dragonseeds. It was a more focused episode for sure, with some…
‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Spoiler-Free Review – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
It's been since Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 that I've seen an MCU movie on the big screen, so it was amusing to hear that now-iconic fanfare play over the logo ushering Deadpool into the Disney-owned Marvel Cinematic Universe. If you were afraid that the House of Mouse would put a leash on the…
Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down? ‘Those About To Die’ Review -ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
How often do you think about the Roman Empire? If you're anything like me, the answer is probably more than you'd like to admit, which is why I naturally had to tune into Peacock's latest big-budget swords-and-sandals epic Those About to Die. Based on the book of the same name, which served as the inspiration…
‘Twisters’ Shouldn’t Be This Good, But It Is- ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
When I learned there was to be a sequel to the beloved 90s disaster film Twister, I was actually pretty jazzed about the news. Not because I'm a big fan of that movie, but because we hadn't had a good ol' disaster flick in a long while and this could scratch that itch if done…
Film & Spirits EPISODE 58 – Montreal Comiccon 2024 / The Acolyte (season finale) / F1 & Gladiator II – ScreenHub Entertainment
July is synonymous with Comiccon in Montreal, and Fred & Sean are back to give you their fresh take. The gents will also discuss the season finale of the highly controversial Star Wars show The Acolyte and share some thoughts on the trailers for two mega-productions to come: F1 by Joseph Kosinski and Gladiator II…
House of the Dragon: Episode Six ‘Smallfolk’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
A tighter episode than last week's, House of the Dragon both pushes the plot forward and continues to spin its wheels in place with some of its many plot points. It's an experience that's still entertaining and engaging for sure, but one that grows equally frustrating, especially when there's only two episodes left now that…
World Premiere: ‘Shelby Oaks’ Spoiler-Free Review – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
Last night at the Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal, I got to sit in on the world premiere of Shelby Oaks, the highly anticipated release of YouTuber Chris Stuckmann. At his request, he's asked people speaking about the film to not go into too many details as to avoid spoiling it for audiences, and I…
Grammy Winner Bob Newhart Passes at 94 – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
Grammy award-winning comedian Bob Newhart has passed away at the age of 94. Bob Newhart was a quiet man with a long shadow in the comedy business. Though he started as an accountant, he quickly became well-known for his deadpan standup comedy. In 1961, he won three Grammys for his comedy album, The Button-Down Mind…
‘The Acolyte’ Finale And Overall Season Review – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
Well, we're here at the end and it was a bit of a rocky road to get there. But The Acolyte has finished its first season and a lot of what I thought was going to happen, did come to pass over the course of the season. So the finale, aptly titled The Acolyte, wasn't…
House of the Dragon: Episode Five ‘ ‘Regent’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
After the high-stakes battle that played out last week, House of the Dragon returned with a somewhat slower and less urgent episode once more. We learned some interesting pieces of information and got some set up for things to come (some things not for another season at least), but this was very much the calm…
Case Dismissed: Alec Baldwin ‘Rust’ Trial, Everything you Need to Know – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
Is Alec Baldwin responsible for the death of Halyna Hutchins in 2021? We may never fully know the answer, because the judge dismissed Baldwin's case just three days into the involuntary manslaughter trial. Here is everything you need to know about the trial, and why it was tossed out so suddenly. The unexpected turn in…
Montreal Comiccon 2024 – Q&A with Giancarlo Esposito – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
If you're currently watching the best and most popular TV series on streamers for the last few years, then FOR SURE you've seen Mr. Giancarlo Esposito's face before.

Montreal Comiccon 2024: Q&A With Vincent D’Onofrio – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
Montreal Comiccon returned with 65,000 attendees this year and a slew of celebrities on stage. The first one I sat in with on July 6th was none other than Vincent D'Onofrio, perhaps best known for his work in Full Metal Jacket, Law & Order, and Daredevil as the Kingpin. It was a really insightful and…
Montreal Comiccon 2024: ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’ 40th Anniversary Scream Queens Panel- ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
2024 marks the 40th anniversary of the original Nightmare on Elm Street and as such, the Montreal Comiccon put together a panel celebrating the Scream Queens of the franchise by bringing in Heather Langenkamp, Ronee Blakley, Amanda Wyss, and Lisa Wilcox to the stage to talk about their time in the franchise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCVh4lBfW-c The cast,…
The Acolyte: ‘Choice’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
In its penultimate episode, The Acolyte goes back sixteen years again and fills in the blanks from the first flashback episode. This time, we see the events at Brendock from the point of view of the Jedi and learn what really happened. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtytYWhg2mc I deduced two things while watching this episode. One, this episode should…
Montreal Comiccon 2024: Q&A With Alan Tudyk – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
Similar to Nolan North, who was a guest speaker at the Montreal Comiccon in 2023, American actor and voice actor Alan Tudyk is also a very influential name in the world of animation and sci-fi. Doesn't sound familiar? Let's try this, he's the voice behind the Rogue One (2016) fan-favourite droid K2-SO, the voice of…
House of the Dragon Episode 4: ‘The Red Dragon and the Gold’ SPOILERS Review – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
House of the Dragon delivered what may be the best action sequence in the Westeros setting since the Battle of the Bastards in season six. Audience members waiting for this war to actually kick off certainly got their wish in this episode, with clashing armies, dragons, and some high-stakes outcomes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQ8H5gqGA34 The Red Dragon and…
‘Ferrari’ Review – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
Ferrari is the first film from legendary director Michael Mann since his 2015 misfire Blackhat. The film stars Adam Driver as the titular car manufacturer as he navigates multiple challenges in the summer of 1957. Ferrari also co-stars Penélope Cruz, Shailene Woodley, Jack O'Connell, and Patrick Dempsey in supporting roles. So, after such a long…
The Best Revolutionary War Movies & Shows To Celebrate the 4th of July – ScreenHub Entertainment – ScreenHub Entertainment
Once again, it is the fourth of July. As an entire nation gets ready to celebrate America’s birthday, I think it is worth looking back and remembering the time when we decided that kings were generally a bad idea, and we probably shouldn’t have one. Unfortunately, when looking for movies and TV shows about the…
