Weird to say, but theres a DIRTIER side to debt collection? - Buffaloed - EMMR (Zoey Deutch, Jai Courtney, Judy Greer, Jermaine Fowler) 20:13

3+ y ago20:13

20:13

Episode 114 of the Everyman Movie Review! It's rare that a movie makes me think of home as much as Buffaloed did - despite a HUGE oversight (that I get into in the episode) but I could have taken many of those characters directly from my own past. It's also rare that I am entertained while learning about something as complex and boring as debt coll…

COINTELPRO - The White House Wife Edition - Seberg - EMMR (Kristen Stewart, Vince Vaughn, Stephen Root, Anthony Mackie, Zazie Beetz) 15:52

3+ y ago15:52

15:52

Episode 113 of the Everyman Movie Review! I wasn't sure what to think about Seberg - it wasn't a story I had heard before, despite being very interested in that period in history. Also - not the biggest fan of Kristen Stewart. But, I decided to give it a whirl - I figured Anthony Mackey, Vince Vaughn, and Stephen Root wouldn't steer me wrong. Was I…

If you have to ask, you can't afford to wash here - The Laundromat - EMMR (Steven Soderbergh, Jake Bernstein, Scott Z. Burns, Gary Oldman, Antonio Banderas, Meryl Streep) 10:49

3+ y ago10:49

10:49

Episode 112 of the Everyman Movie Review! Yet another movie I should have seen in theaters, and should have made more of a priority - The Laundromat. Some of you may be too young to remember the Panama Papers - since it was only in the news for about 15 mins, but I remember it rocked me when I found out. I figured, the movie version airing the dirt…

If you don't like this movie, definitely don't research the NDAA - The Torture Report - EMMR (Adam Driver, Corey Stoll, Jon Hamm, Annette Bening) 15:36

3+ y ago15:36

15:36

Episode 111 of the Everyman Movie Review! So - a note at the beginning - I am clearly sleep deprived because I called this movie the "Terror" Report multiple times in the episode and even in the title card. Sorry about that, it's obviously titled... The Torture Report is YET another movie I regret not seeing on the big screen when I could. It came …

Napoleon Dynamite is all grown up & depressed - When Jon Tried to Save the World - EMMR (Jon Heder, Maya Erskine, Anna Konkle, Jim O'Heir, Steve Berg)) 22:07

3+ y ago22:07

22:07

Episode 110 of the Everyman Movie Review! I, like everyone, loved Napoleon Dynamite. I saw the title of this week's movie (When Jeff Tried to Save the World) and thought it was an end of the world movie; they're in pretty heavy rotation for me right now. But I was pleasantly surprised to find it wasn't exactly what I was expected. Then, I realized …

WHAT did I just watch - I'm Thinking Of Ending Things - EMMR (Jessie Buckley, Charlie Kaufman, Jessie Plemmons) 26:21

3+ y ago26:21

26:21

Episode 109 of the Everyman Movie Review! This will not be a normal review because this is not a normal movie - the Spoilers section is longer than EVERYTHING else. But - if you've seen a Charlie Kaufman movie before (Adaptation, Being Jon Malkovich) you may understand why. This one is no different - but I'm always down for being screwed with by Ch…

1
Trust me, trials are usually not that interesting - EMMR - Trial of the Chicago 7 (Aaron Sorkin, Eddie Redmayne, Sacha Baron Cohen, John Carroll Lynch, Joseph Gordon Levitt) 17:59

3+ y ago17:59

17:59

Episode 108 of the Everyman Movie Review! I'm a huge fan of Aaron Sorkin's writing. I was somewhat disappointed with his directorial debut in "Molly's Game" but I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, especially with the likes off Eddie Redmayne, Sacha Baron Cohen, John Carroll Lynch, and Joseph Gordon Levitt in a movie about the '68 Ch…

Like "She's All That", only Kazakh and in a cage - Borat Subsequent Moviefilm - EMMR (Sacha Baron Cohen, Maria Bakalova) 23:40

3+ y ago23:40

23:40

Episode 107 of the Everyman Movie Review! WHAT YEAR IS IT?!? I'm doing a review of a Borat movie? Just when you think America couldn't get dumber - you see that Borat somehow convinced Americans to be themselves again, but on camera, again. The original made up a HUGE part of my twenties so I was stoked to see the follow-up. Was I disappointed? Che…

1
Good execution on bad planning - EMMR - Slender Man (Joey King, Jaz Sinclair, Annalise Basso) 15:52

3+ y ago15:52

15:52

Episode 106 of the Everyman Movie Review! A lot of you may have never heard of Slenderman... or you may only know of the murder story out of Wisconsin - this isn't that. This is a fictional account of the fictional character - although, the former may have impacted the latter, as I explain. But - I always loved the character of Slenderman, I figure…

1
Is this the PERFECT Halloween film?- Hubie Halloween - EMMR (Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Julie Bowen) 20:10

3+ y ago20:10

20:10

Episode 105 of the Everyman Movie Review! I've never been a HUGE fan of Adam Sandler - his movies anyway (I'll explain why I'm insanely jealous of his career). But a Sandler movie can be perfect when you have a big group of people with very differing interests (and the veto vote steps out for an errand). This Halloween hasn't felt like a real one, …

Shine you say? Can I hide it under a bushel? - Doctor Sleep - EMMR (Ewan McGregor, Steven King) 24:33

3+ y ago24:33

24:33

Episode 104 of the Everyman Movie Review! A Halloween Special! To celebrate, for the next three episodes, we're covering some scary/Halloween themed movies. Up First: Doctor Sleep The Shining terrified me as a kid - like literal scars - but I guess Steven King knows his way around terror. Like Danny, I'm all grown up now, but Ewan McGregor takes it…

When you find your musical soul mate, you just know - Blinded By The Light - EMMR (Viveik Kalra, Dean-Charles Chapman, Kit Reeve, Rob Brydon) 13:20

3+ y ago13:20

13:20

Episode 102 of the Everyman Movie Review! I should have seen Blinded by the Light in theaters. We went at least 4 times with it as one of the options, but something always came first. Then - we lost theaters forever. Well, maybe not forever, but it seems that long in LA. And I will forever regret not seeing this movie on the big screen - the one th…

1
It's not the Al Capone you think you know - Capone - EMMR (Josh Trank, Tom Hardy, Linda Cardellini, Matt Dillon) 17:50

3+ y ago17:50

17:50

Episode 101 of the Everyman Movie Review! Capone will be a lesson to me about the finickiness of the industry that I want so much to be a part of. Josh Trank was one of the hottest up and coming filmmakers. Then, he had an incident with his first big-budget movie Fantastic Four. He laid low, and got a chance to redeem himself with another fantastic…

I guess I'm KINDA like a Lord then? - Mary Shelly - EMMR (Elle Fanning, Bel Powley, Douglas Booth, Maisie Williams, Tom Sturridge Ben Hardy) 15:03

3+ y ago15:03

15:03

Episode 101 of the Everyman Movie Review! Shifting gears from the "actors out of their element" we're going into a series of historical stories you should know, told in an interesting way. I always knew the "story" of how Frankenstein was written - but I didn't know the half of it. The tale of Mary Shelley was SO much more. AND - featuring Elle Fan…

The City is Parapata and I couldn't pronounce her name? - Dora and the Lost City of Gold - EMMR (Isabela Merced, Eva Longoria, Michael Peña, Eugenio Derbez) 17:20

3+ y ago17:20

17:20

Episode 100 of the Everyman Movie Review! I can't believe we've made it to 100 episodes - over 1 year together. Thank you for your continued support of this program! I had Dora and the Lost City of Gold in my "To Watch" list for a while. I had an inkling that it would be a grown-up movie pretending to be a kids movie. Plus - I have grown to be a fa…

Who is Brooklyn again? The tourette's guy? - Motherless Brooklyn - EMMR (Ed Norton, Gugu Mbatha-Raw) 13:53

3+ y ago13:53

13:53

Episode 98 of the Everyman Movie Review! Next up on the Actors Out of their Element list - Ed Norton. Motherless Brooklyn is one of those Oscar-contender movies that I must have passed by at least 100 times thinking - "I wanna watch it...but not tonight." You really have to be in the right mindset for - or do you? This movie really surprised me.. W…

Somebody is always watching - I hope someone is listening - The Night Clerk - EMMR (Tye Sheridan, Ana de Armas, Helen Hunt, John Leguizamo) 17:12

3+ y ago17:12

17:12

Episode 98 of the Everyman Movie Review! The Night Clerk is far different than X-Men or Ready Player One, which we've seen Tye in before. This movie also introduced me to Ana de Armas - which was a surprise. I love a psychological thriller and one with a ton of twists? Sign me up? Was I disappointed? Check out the episode to find out! Spoiler Alert…

Guns Akimbo - not just my CoD Warzone style! - EMMR (Samara Weaving, Daniel Radcliffe, Rhys Darby) 21:06

3+ y ago21:06

21:06

Episode 97 of the Everyman Movie Review! I gave a brief explainer at the beginning of the episode, but for the next few, we'll be working around a theme: Actors Out of their Element. We start off with Daniel Radcliffe - the action star? Not to mention disheveled and crazy-eyed Samara Weaving! Guns Akimbo is a 1980s shoot-em-up movie - set in a "dys…

1
Wait, Seth Rogen ISN'T smoking weed in this movie? Pickles? Huh? - An American Pickle - EMMR (Billy Ray, Seth Rogen, Sarah Snook, Molly Evensen) 18:35

3+ y ago18:35

18:35

Episode 96 of the Everyman Movie Review! I love a good 'fish out of water' story. As you've seen from Palm Springs (and others) I also like metaphysical/time travel/time bending movies. So - throw Seth Rogen into a time bending, fish out of water story - and add pickles - one of my favorite foods? Oh - I'm in. I'm all the way in! Was I disappointed…

All the Chi, none of the Mushu - EMMR - Mulan (Yifei Liu, Donnie Yen, Li Gong. Jet Li, Jason Scott Lee, Yoson An, Tzi Ma) 23:29

3+ y ago23:29

23:29

Episode 95 of the Everyman Movie Review! The 2020 movie season has been... an interesting one, to say the least. While theaters are still closed in California (where I live) - the benefits of Disney having its own streaming platform became apparent when they wanted to release their live-action remake of Mulan. I was a little old for the original, b…

Hero, Villain, or something in between? - Richard Jewell - EMMR (Paul Walter Hauser, Sam Rockwell, Clint Eastwood, Olivia Wilde, Jon Hamm,. Kathy Bates) 18:05

3+ y ago18:05

18:05

Episode 94 of the Everyman Movie Review! I remember the '96 Centennial Park bombing - and I definitely remember the name Richard Jewell. You may not remember that name or the event - and if you do, you may remember them being intertwined. But do you remember the end of the story? Clint Eastwood brings us an unbelievably accurate portrayal of those …

1
Be careful what you wish for - Fantasy Island - EMMR (Michael Peña, Maggie Q, Lucy Hale, Austin Stowell, Jimmy O. Yang, Portia Doubleday, Ryan Hansen, Michael Rooker) 18:14

3+ y ago18:14

18:14

Episode 93 of the Everyman Movie Review! The classic Fantasy Island was a staple of my life growing up - but not in the way that would engage the nostalgia engine (like Bill and Ted). BUT - I remembered the concept and that seemed to be exactly the right fit for me. PLUS - It's a Blumhouse production, which bodes well for it. Was I disappointed? Ch…

The secret side of the Entertainment Business - The Assistant - EMMR (Julia Garner, Kitty Green) 13:25

4y ago13:25

13:25

Episode 92 of the Everyman Movie Review! If you ever wanted a look behind the scenes of the "glamourous" life of someone at the entry point of the entertainment industry - The Assistant is it. If you love Julia Garner (from Ozarks), you may love The Assistant - although you may not recognize her. The city was buzzing about this movie, so when I saw…

Save the music, Save the world! - Bill and Ted Face the Music - EMMR (Keanu Reeves, Alex Winters, Kristin Schaal, Samara Weaving, Brigette Lundy-Paine, William Sadler, Anthony Carrigan) 16:53

4y ago16:53

16:53

Episode 91 of the Everyman Movie Review! It seems as though the nostalgia train isn't done with 2020. Earlier this year, we returned to Redbank, NJ and the world of Jay & Silent Bob - this week, we're returning to San Dimas and the Great Ones who will save us all: William "Bill" S. Preston Esq. and Ted "Theodore" Logan. I realize that most of the m…

I screwed up - so call this a BONUS episode! - EMMR - The Florida Project (Brooklynn Prince, Bria Vinaite, Willem Dafoe, Sean Baker, Mela Murder, Christopher Rivera, Aiden Malik) 25:55

4y ago25:55

25:55

This was supposed to be Episode 30 of the Everyman Movie Review released way back on January 26th, 2020 as part of "Sean Baker Week". But, apparently, it never went live and I didn't notice *facepalm* SO! I figured, why not post it anyway as a BONUS for this week. Last week, you got the preview episodes of my newest podcast. This week, its more EMM…

A slice of PIZZA led to all this? Sbarro's doesn't mess around - EMMR - Bad Education - (Hugh Jackman, Allison Janey, Ray Romano) 19:58

4y ago19:58

19:58

Episode 90 of the Everyman Movie Review! The second time is/so much better, baby/(The second time around) I originally did a review of Bad Education back in April when it first came to HBO - BUT - thanks to an issue with the audio, it never saw the light of day outside of my Patreon Supporters. But - it's SUCH a great movie, so I thought I would re…

Life in Suburbia? Now this IS my hell - EMMR - Vivarium (Imogen Poots, Jesse Eisenberg) 26:43

4y ago26:43

26:43

Episode 89 of the Everyman Movie Review! This episode is semi-by request. A friend of the shown asked if I had seen Vivarium yet and asked my thoughts (since there wasn't an episode out. Instead of waxing poetic there, I bumped up my review and now everyone can hear me... wax poetic. I love weird, quirky movies and boy does Vivarium fit the bill. T…

I DO NOT miss being a teenager... YIKES - EMMR - Chemical Hearts (Lili Reinhart, Austin Abrams, Sarah Jones) 20:07

4y ago20:07

20:07

Episode 88 of the Everyman Movie Review! I have a soft spot for Lili Reinhart, just generally speaking. I'm usually going to be on-board for anything she's a part of - and that means having to be up for Rom-Coms. A side benefit is, its a movie that everyone in the house can agree on as well - rather than a compromise (like usual). Another plus - IT…

Existential Mario Brothers, low budget Palm Springs, or just weird? - EMMR - Every Time I Die (Marc Menchaca, Drew Fonteiro, Tyler Fleming) 11:03

4y ago11:03

11:03

Episode 87 of the Everyman Movie Review! Watching Palm Spring reminded me of a movie I saw back at the beginning of quarantine. Not that they are the same movie - or even similar - but maybe just the repeating nature of the storyline. Every Time I Die is definitely that. It's a quirky, short movie - that is high concept and takes on a complicated t…

Find what you love and let it kill you - EMMR - Radioactive (Rosamund Pike, Sam Riley, Simon Russell Beale) 14:17

4y ago14:17

14:17

Episode 86 of the Everyman Movie Review! My favorite movies are the ones where you can be entertained for a few hours AND learn something while you're doing it. Rosamund Pike playing Madame Curie? Seems to check all the right boxes. Was I disappointed? Check out the episode to find out! Radioactive on Amazon The Everyman Movie Review is a different…

Your Heaven is someone else's Hell - EMMR - Palm Springs (Andy Samberg, Cristin Milioti, J.K. Simmons, Peter Gallagher, Meredith Hagner, Camila Mendes) 18:41

4y ago18:41

18:41

Episode 85 of the Everyman Movie Review! I didn't see ANY marketing for Palm Springs - I just heard the post-Sundance hype about it. I got an alert that it was available on Hulu so I planned to watch it. Whatever I thought I was getting into - I was wrong. It turned out to be way different, but was it worth my time - AND - the highest selling price…

Forget about snakes; It's GREATS on a plane - EMMR - 7500 (Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Carlo Kitzlinger) 14:17

4y ago14:17

14:17

Episode 84 of the Everyman Movie Review! JGL is a goddamn national treasure - a long-awaited return to ACTUAL movie reviews, so I wanted to start with something new (or at least new to streaming) and something I'd really enjoy. Basically, a single set, a few actors - Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Omid Memar, Aylin Tezel, Carlo Kitzlinger, Murathan Muslu - …

All good things must come to an end - Everyman Movie Review - Quibi Closer (ft. The Fugitive & Don't Look Deeper - Helena Howard, Emily Mortimer, Don Cheadle, Kiefer Sutherland, Boyd Holbrook) 13:25

4y ago13:25

13:25

Episode 83 of the Everyman Movie Review! I know - I know - I keep saying I'm done with Quibi - but I PROMISE - this is it. I've already recorded some actual movie reviews and they'll be up soon. But I wanted to take a minute to review some brand new content available on the platform - Don't Look Deeper and The Fugitive. They are a couple of star-st…

Diseñadores! - like sicarios, only for paint swatches - EMMR - Flipped Review (Will Forte, Kaitlin Olson, Arturo Castro, Andy Garcia, Eva Longoria, Quibi) 12:37

4y ago12:37

12:37

Episode 82 of the Everyman Movie Review! The last man on Earth paired with the worst woman on Earth (or their previous characters at least - are kidnapped to Mexico by a cartel lieutenant to make-over his house and get caught up in a life and lifestyle they never wanted. Will Forte and Kaitlin Olson portray our protagonists the Melfis - an unlikely…

Everyman Movie Review - DIE HART 12:34

Episode 81 of the Everyman Movie Review! THURSDAY DOUBLE FEATURE (I forgot to post Sunday's Episode - SORRY! - so today you'll get Sunday's Episode AND Today's usual episode.) Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in! I thought I was done with the Quibi reviews, but - as I explain in the video - the combination of a crazy busy schedule a…

Everyman Movie Review - #FreeRayshawn 8:51

4y ago8:51

8:51

Episode 80 of the Everyman Movie Review! In a post-George Floyd world, #FreeRayshawn reminded me so much of the #CorrineGaines case from Baltimore a few years ago. I've seen that video - and it seemed like the writers of Free Rayshawn have too. I wasn't sure how I'd feel after watching the show, but I knew I had to see it. Was I disappointed? Check…

Everyman Movie Review - Run This City 8:35

4y ago8:35

8:35

Episode 79 of the Everyman Movie Review! I announced a few days ago I was running for President - so it seems even more fitting that this week's review is for a young politician that may be out of his depth. Run This City is a Quibi documentary about Jasiel Correia, the youngest mayor ever of Falls River, Massachusettes. Was I disappointed? Check o…

Everyman Movie Review - When The Street Lights Go On 9:38

4y ago9:38

9:38

Episode 78 of the Everyman Movie Review! I was not expecting what I got from When the Street Lights Go On. Aside from the performances of Ben Ahlers, Julia Sarah Stone, Sam Strike, Sophie Thatcher, and Chosen Jacobs - Rebecca Thatchers nostalgic return to the 1990s was far more thriller than heart-warming. Still, Quibi's short episode style kept me…

Everyman Movie Review - Dummy 11:06

4y ago11:06

11:06

Episode 77 of the Everyman Movie Review! I saw a billboard for Dummy around the LA area and was immediately intrigued - and to find out that it was on Quibi (which I already had access too) just meant that I had another reason to check out the platform. I'm a huge Anna Kendrick fan - so I was in, without knowing much more than that. During this vid…

Everyman Movie Review - Most Dangerous Game 11:24

4y ago11:24

11:24

Episode 76 of the Everyman Movie Review! Most Dangerous Game is one of the shows that drew me to Quibi as a platform. I love the concept that is embodied by the show - and maybe part of me thinks I could compete and survive. But I am definitely not Liam Hemsworth - and he barely gets out of episode 2. Was I disappointed? Check out the episode to fi…

Everyman Movie Review - Special Report - Quibi 19:01

Episode 75 - A SPECIAL REPORT - of the Everyman Movie Review! This week, something a little different. Rather than a normal movie review, I did a review about the product/program that has allowed me to see some of the programs you have checked out reviews for - Quibi. Is Quibi worth it?- watch the video to find out! Interested? Find out more info a…

Everyman Movie Review - The King of Staten Island 24:20

4y ago24:20

24:20

Episode 74 of the Everyman Movie Review! I have been following the story of Pete Davidson for a few years now. I see so much of myself in him and how he talks about his life - just with way less weed. I had heard that there was a semi-biographical movie coming out about him directed by Judd Apatow, but with everything going on in the world, I assum…

Everyman Movie Review - Da 5 Bloods 22:20

4y ago22:20

22:20

Episode 25 of the Everyman Movie Review! I can't believe I get to review a NEW MOVIE AGAIN! Now that it seems we may be headed back into quarantine, you have to enjoy the little things. I loved Spike Lee's last offering (Blakkklansman) - and I have ALWAYS been a fan of Delroy Lindo, Clarke Peters, Jean Reno, Chadwick Boseman, and especially Isiah W…

Everyman Movie Review - I Love You, Now Die 22:49

4y ago22:49

22:49

Episode 68 of the Everyman Movie Review! I'm not usually one for true-crime. I do listen to some podcasts and the occasional documentary - but the subject matter of this particular documentary hit me just right. A side of my old legal brain and the other one of my problem solving one. Also - a movie that I could agree on with my significant other..…
