  By Josh Lasser on September 7, 2017 • ( 1 )

  By Josh Lasser on August 29, 2017 • ( 2 )

  

  Sure, we didn’t have an episode last week, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t thinking about possible future episodes. In fact, to be specific about it, we were very much thinking about possible future episodes, and at least one of… Read More ›

  By Josh Lasser on August 16, 2017 • ( 2 )

  

  Directed by Tommy Wirkola, “What Happened to Monday” is easily seen as one in a line of films looking at a rather bleak near future. In the case of this particular near future, the continued havoc we have wrought on… Read More ›

  By Josh Lasser on August 11, 2017 • ( 1 )

• Movie Review: “Logan Lucky”

  By Josh Lasser on July 27, 2017 • ( 0 )

  

  There is an easy and obvious comparison to be made between the 2001 “Ocean’s Eleven” remake and 2017’s “Logan Lucky.” Both are heist movies. Both offer a blend of serious moments with a lot of humor and some truly clever… Read More ›

• Movie Review: “Atomic Blonde”

  By Josh Lasser on July 26, 2017 • ( 0 )

  

  Charlize Theron’s latest film, “Atomic Blonde,” is aggressively stylistic. From the opening moments to the closing ones, it is a film focused on performance – the performance of the camera, the performance of the songs, the performance of the editing,… Read More ›

  By Josh Lasser on July 20, 2017 • ( 1 )

  

  Luc Besson’s latest film, “Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets” starts with such incredible promise. It begins with a tremendously beautiful look at how Alpha, a space station with life from all over the galaxy (or further), came… Read More ›

• Movie Review: “Dunkirk”

  By Josh Lasser on July 19, 2017 • ( 1 )

  

  “Dunkirk” is not your typical war movie. It is not about a group of people going off into battle, attempting to complete a mission, and learning something about themselves or the nature of life or man’s inhumanity towards man. It… Read More ›

• TV Review: “Ozark”

  By Josh Lasser on July 17, 2017 • ( 1 )

  By Josh Lasser on July 11, 2017 • ( 0 )

• Movie Review: “Spider-Man: Homecoming”

  By Josh Lasser on July 3, 2017 • ( 0 )

  

  Sometimes after watching a movie, a single word emerges as the perfect one to encapsulate the film. The word can be positive, it can be negative, or it can be neutral, but somehow it just fits. Leaving the screening of… Read More ›

• Movie Review: “Despicable Me 3”

  By Josh Lasser on June 29, 2017 • ( 0 )

  

  The first “Despicable Me” was, if not a revelation, quite enjoyable. It was exceptionally funny, featured a clever plot, and had these crazy yellow things that spoke in a funny fashion (I love the Minions, if you’re against them you… Read More ›

• Movie Review: “Okja”

  By Josh Lasser on June 28, 2017 • ( 0 )

  

  This is meant to be a review of Bong Joon Ho’s “Okja,” a movie which launched today on Netflix. I don’t think it’s going to be a traditional review, but it’ll be something close to it. The film, “Okja,” stars… Read More ›

  By Josh Lasser on June 27, 2017 • ( 0 )

  

  Josh is not the sort of guy who watches a sequel unless he’s seen the original… and seen it recently. Except for that one time, that one time he’s going to tell you about on today’s podcast, where he opted… Read More ›

• Movie Review: “War for the Planet of the Apes”

  By Josh Lasser on June 26, 2017 • ( 0 )

  

  At one point during “War for the Planet of the Apes,” the audience watches as a Colonel (Woody Harrelson) and his troops listen to a poor recording of “The Star-Spangled Banner.” The troops go from standing in formation over to… Read More ›
