Note: while this review is spoiler-free, I will be talking about what the horror is in the movie, something that wasn't revealed in trailer 1 but confirmed in trailer 2. Sinners is the latest effort from writer/director Ryan Coogler and the first to not be based on a historical event (Fruitvale Station), or pre-existing IP…
Note: there are massive spoilers in this review. Read on if you're up to date, or don't care. The second episode of The Last of Us' second season was a tour de force of special effects and tragedy. It follows key events from the game, while also remixing and adding a lot to it, resulting…
Daredevil Born Again's first season is now over, and it went out with quite the bang. The season overall may have been a bit underwhelming, but the three episodes that were part of the major rehaul were by far the best of the season. The finale is one of those three and rivals the premiere…
It's been a long time coming, but it's finally happening. In 2028, which just so happens to be the 100th anniversary, the Academy Awards will introduce a new category: best stunts. It's something that's been championed by actors, directors, stunt crews, and yours truly for years now, and now those stunt performers will finally get…
This is a difficult month of April in Hollywood, especially for the greater Los Angeles area and movie goers of the 80s and 90s. We lost the great Val Kilmer on April 1st, 2025, a Los Angeles-born actor who most definitely shaped my childhood in so many ways. A passionate star, known to be incredibly…
HBO's The Last of Us is back after a two-year wait for its second season, which in turn is an adaptation of around half of The Last of Us Part II on PlayStation. The game in question was historically quite polarizing, but co-showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann (the latter of whom was the Game…
You may have noticed over the past decade or two that some tentpole Hollywood productions were finding ways to bring in Chinese audience members. That may come from Chinese stars joining the cast or receiving partial financing from a Chinese company. This is because China is a huge potential market for film studios, as it's…
Sorry for the delay on this one! Daredevil: Born Again returns for its penultimate episode this week, and it was quite the episode! A lot of plot points collided this week, including the reintroduction of Bullseye to the plot and the tone that the show takes (and why!). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xALolZzhSM The pacing and tone of this…
We have some new details and rumours about the Predator franchise this week. CinemaCon just wrapped up, and one of the closer panels was for Predator: Badlands, the upcoming theatrical film slated to be released in November. There's also a juicy rumor from reputable insider Jeff Sneider about that second Predator film, so let's get…
The gents have been in theatres during the last few weeks, listen as they share their impressions of Mickey 17 from director Bong Joon-Ho and "Black Bag" from Steven Soderbergh. Also, the casting reveal for Avengers Doomsday has now been shown, a lot of familiar '20th Century Fox' faces coming back. Enjoy! Apple https://open.spotify.com/episode/1ResXNsJmaVGxJQnuZsaxi

The stated cause was pneumonia. Val Kilmer and Kurt Russel in Tombstone. Credit: Buena Vista Pictures Val Kilmer began his stellar career in…
In what could've easily been mistaken for an April Fool's joke, we have word that there is to be a sequel to Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. Only this time there's a twist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELeMaP8EPAA&t=1s Where Tarantino wrote and directed the original 2019 film for Sony, the sequel is doing to be a…
Daredevil: Born Again continues to amp up the stakes for Matt as the ground below him begins to cave in as he dives back into the life he cast aside a year ago. Episode 7, titled Art For Art's Sake, really dove into the character motivations and delivered a satisfying episode. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xALolZzhSM It addressed a…
It's back! After years of collecting dust on a shelf, the near-complete film Coyote Vs. Acme will get a theatrical release in 2026 after Warner Bros sold the rights to the film to Ketchup Entertainment. It's been a long, confusing, and frustrating road for Coyote Vs. Acme. The hybrid animation/live-action Looney Tunes film was cancelled…
Both of these episodes of Daredevil: Born Again aired on the same time, so we're doing one review for them. The reason for that is likely just scheduling, as Andor is on the horizon and that has to line up with Star Wars Celebration Japan, likely. So we get a one-two combo of two unrelated…
In an unorthodox reveal, Marvel slowly unveiled the cast for the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday film. During a multi-hour live stream event, the names of the cast members were slowly revealed as the camera would pan across the line of chairs and linger on the name for an extended period of time before revealing the next…
Now that Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli are no longer active members of the creative team for the James Bond franchise, Amazon MGM Studios are fast-tracking the next 007. The first official act under this new direction is to find new producers to helm the ship, and now we know who will be the…
Episode four of Daredevil: Born Again, titled Sic Semper Systema ("so always the system"), feels like the kind of episode that finalizes the first part of a story before a major shift in tone and direction takes place. It follows up on the fallout of the murder of Hector last week, while having Matt really…
The oddly named Bob Trevino Likes It is an indie film inspired by unlikely true events in the life of the film's writer and director Tracie Laymon. The movie's description and cast will no doubt intrigue many, but it's definitely got some work to do to convince viewers of such an unlikely premise. Can Bob…
Just putting this at the top since they're stealing our articles, but "Mania Entertain Scoop" are a bunch of hack thieves. Since they copy our work verbatim using web scraping, hopefully, this makes its way to the top of their page. Anyway, here's the review. Daredevil: Born Again's third episode shifts the attention from the…
If you're a James Bond fan like I am, it's fair to say you may be having whiplash with all the news around the franchise. Godamn, even I'm struggling with this Herculean task. Since 2005, at the time when Daniel Craig was first announced as the new 007, there hasn't been AS MUCH new information…
One of our most anticipated films of the year is Mickey 17, largely due to the fact that this is Bong Joon-ho's most recent film after his Oscar sweep for Parasite. An acclaimed auteur, Joon-ho has become a celebrated auteur in his own right, delivering films such as The Host and Snowpiercer. So naturally, we…
Guess what people....Fred is back as a married man! The gents discuss this new important chapter as well as the ongoing political drama between Canada and the USA. As proud Canadian gents, we will encourage Canadian products on this show moving forward! Entertainment-wise, the gents discuss the latest Oscars, Sean reviews Captain America: Brave New…
Note: There are MAJOR spoilers in this article. Fans of Netflix's Daredevil lamented the day the critically acclaimed series was abruptly cancelled back in 2018. It was hailed as one of the best Marvel properties around, balancing outstanding grounded action with compelling characters and stories. Finally, in 2025, the Man Without Fear returns in Daredevil:…
I feel like there wasn't much in the way of publicity or marketing around this one, so hopefully I can do my part to spread the word, because Last Breath was a solid time at the movies. It's a combination survival and disaster movie, showcasing a desperate rescue operation in the middle of a storm…
Update February 28th: Officials now say that Gene Hackman's pacemaker stopped functioning on Feb 17th, which is likely the day that he died. Both bodies tested negative for carbon monoxide poisoning. Update February 27th: The authorities have released a statement saying that the circumstances surrounding Gene Hackman and Betsy Arakawa's deaths are "suspicious enough" to…

A brand new animated series set in the world that began with Avatar: The Last Airbender is coming to Nickelodeon. Here's what we know so far.

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…
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.…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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 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…
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…
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…
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…
