We just tuned into the first three episodes of Pluribus on Apple TV, and we’re blown away! The show feels trippy, loopy, and totally absorbing, exactly what you’d expect from the creator of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Its atmosphere pulls you in, the story layers psychological sci-fi with sharp character work, and the visuals are top-notch. …

We just watched The Last Spark of Hope on Amazon, and it’s one of the weirdest, most visually impressive post-apocalyptic films we’ve seen. The story follows Eva, possibly the last human alive, trapped outside her compound by her guardian robot Arthur, a machine programmed not to harm humans, but also incapable of saving her or bending the rules to…

Just finished Splinter Cell: Deathwatch on Netflix and this series absolutely delivers! Everything fans want from a top-tier animated action series: razor-sharp stealth missions, tense betrayals, and dynamic, layered characters. Sam Fisher comes out of retirement, older, wiser, and deadlier, to team up with rising agent Zinnia McKenna and face a gl…

We just watched Highest 2 Lowest on Apple TV, and what a letdown. As music industry veterans, we couldn’t help but cringe at how badly this film misunderstands how the industry actually handles extortion, negotiation, and label operations. Instead of real-world tension, we get overblown drama, decisions no actual label or artist would make, and a s…

We just watched Brick on Netflix, and wow—what a ride! Most viewers slammed it, but honestly, we found it weirdly entertaining. This German sci-fi thriller traps a group of people inside an apartment building mysteriously sealed by black brick walls. The concept is wild, the writing sometimes clunky, and the acting over the top—but that’s exactly w…

We just watched the new Superman streaming on HBO Max, and… yikes! For longtime Superman fans, this was a letdown, glossy visuals, loud action, and a script packed with meme references, TikTok energy, and Gen Z/Gen Alpha humor. There’s little of the depth or wonder adults remember from Superman; instead, this reboot plays strictly for the Fortnite …

We just watched The Blob (1958), and wow—this flick is pure drive-in gold. Steve McQueen leads a cast of “teenagers” who could’ve all passed for seniors at a high school reunion, but it only adds to the fun! The special effects are goofy, the dialog is retro gold, and every minute is a love letter to low-budget sci-fi. Whether it’s the Blob rolling…

Whole new questions and wild twists—Foundation Season 3 Episode 6, “The Shape of Time,” is on another level.

Predator: Killer of Killers brings back the iconic alien hunter, but this time the formula feels a bit worn. While the action delivers, the Predator’s motivation—killing simply for the hunt—starts to feel repetitive, and the alien design doesn’t break new ground (why do so many alien races have to look like giant bugs?). In this review, we dig into…

We just watched MINTED: The Rise (And Fall?) of the NFT on Netflix. This documentary is an interesting and cautionary deep dive into the world of NFTs. We both gave it an 8. While the film highlights the explosive rise of NFTs, it also shows the major risks — especially if you’re late to the party. Plus, selling music albums as NFTs? Yeah... not th…

Disney+ just released the first 3 episodes of Andor Season 2, and honestly, we’re confused. It doesn’t feel or even look like Star Wars anymore. Episode 2, especially, was a complete non-starter.

We just watched Banger on Netflix, and honestly, we're completely confused. The movie had an interesting premise — a washed-up DJ trying to reclaim the spotlight with a new banger while working with an intelligence agent to take down a rival. But the execution? A complete mess. The story was all over the place, and it left us wondering what this fi…

We just watched The Electric State on Netflix, the latest film from the Russo Brothers, starring Millie Bobby Brown. And wow…this one missed the mark. The film had the potential to be an epic sci-fi adventure, but instead, it felt like an over-budget movie aimed at kids. Millie’s performance? Not great. She plays yet another bratty, immature charac…

We just finished watching Counterattack (2025) on Netflix, and… wow. This action thriller had so much potential with its intense premise—an elite team of special agents taking on a ruthless cartel.

Basil Barrington & DJ Keo are back with The Gorge on Apple TV+, and while this film has great bones, Apple completely missed the mark.
