Hey everyone, The Umbrella Academy is back with its latest and final season. Overall, I think this show has been a bit of a mixed bag, with some AMAZING moments and characters but some very messy storytelling. That, in my opinion, has been pretty consistent over all three of the previous seasons. Well, the show has now wrapped, with season 4 droppi…

Hey everyone, the latest video game adaptation - Borderlands - has been released in theaters. I have never really had much interest in the games but from reading the premise, I always thought a movie adaptation could be fun. That being said, the behind the scenes nightmare that we've heard this film turned into and the constant delays (the movie BE…

Hey everyone, I hope you’re all doing better than I am because I just wasted 3 hours and 20+ minutes watching the Director’s Cut of Rebel Moon - Part 1, which has now been retitled ‘Chapter One: Chalice of Blood’ for this release. I was on record as hating Part 2 of Rebel Moon back in April but I was one of the rare few who actually dug the first p…

Hey everyone, M. Night Shyamalan is back! While I have not been a big fan of his work in recent years (since Split), it is undeniable that he makes some of the more interesting movies out there and I always appreciate going to see his movies in theaters. Trap seemed like a great concept which is why it was one of my most anticipated movies of the b…

Hey everyone, Batman: Caped Crusader - the latest attempt at making a Batman animated series - has finally arrived on Prime Video. I feel like it has been an ENDLESS wait to see this series; I've been hyped to see this show ever since they announced it YEARS back and that it would be from Matt Reeves as well as, creator of Batman: The Animated Seri…

Hey everyone, Marvel Studios’s SDCC panel for 2024 has now come and gone… and we, of course, have tons of new details from their upcoming projects to discuss. However, most of it - I thought - was pretty superfluous and felt like a lot of information that didn’t really mean much in the long run. There were some awesome details such as learning we’l…

Hey everyone, Deadpool & Wolverine is now out in theaters worldwide! I’ve had the chance to see it twice now so it’s time we break down this entire film and all the plot points, crazy appearances & references and characters moments. This episode, obviously, will include FULL SPOILERS for the entirety of Deadpool & Wolverine so if you haven’t seen i…

Hey everyone, my most anticipated movie of the year (as I'm sure it is for most of you as well) - DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE - has finally released! The Fox X-Men franchise has a very special place in my heart: it's arguably the movie franchise that got me into nerdy comic book and superhero stuff on a deeper level in the first place, despite how much I …

Hey everyone, the first 5 episodes of Cobra Kai season 6 have dropped on Netflix! I, of course, love this show and apparently you all LOVE hearing me talk about it so I’m definitely excited for it to be back. That being said, I didn’t love season 5 and I feel like the general hype for season 6 just hasn’t really been there due to a lack of promotio…

Hey everyone, the latest Star Wars show - The Acolyte - has now wrapped up on Disney+ and oh boy, listening to the discourse around this show for the last 7 weeks or so has been a nightmare. I’m so glad it’s over… finally! That being said, I did want to give my thought on the whole show considering I didn’t review any episode since the first two. S…

Hey everyone, the first trailer for Captain America: Brave New World has arrived… a day later than we were expecting! There’s a lot to discuss in this trailer, including our first looks at Harrison Ford as Thunderbolt Ross, Giancarlo Esposito as a mystery character, the first appearance of The Leader, a potential celestial cameo and, of course, Red…

Hey everyone, Twisters - the "sequel" to one of the quintessential summer blockbusters of all-time, Twister - has hit theaters... a week early here! This is a film that I was heavily anticipating because the first film is a blast, the trailers looked fun and it was being directed by Lee Isaac Chung, who directed Minari. Oh, and I love the cast. I w…

Are you not entertained?! The first official trailer at Ridley Scott’s upcoming Gladiator II, the sequel to his best picture winning film, has not arrived from Paramount. This is, without question, one of my most anticipated films of the rest of the year because the first Gladiator is probably one of the greatest films ever made. However, Ridley Sc…

Hello, everybody! Despicable Me 4, a movie that, to say the least, I have not been all that excited for, has now hit theaters. I have not been a fan of any of the films in this franchise since 2013's Despicable Me 2, however I am an OG fan of this franchise who's been there since the first one came out. Despicable Me 4 is shaping up to be one of th…

Hey everyone, season 3 of what is possibly my favorite show on TV, The Bear, has now hit Hulu and other platforms across the world. I watched through the first two seasons for the first time months and months ago now and have been heavily anticipating the arrival of season 3. Initially, I intended on not reviewing this show and keeping it as one of…

Hey everyone, we are now halfway through 2024... which is crazy! This year is just flying by and we're now neck-deep into the summer-movie season. We still have 6 exciting months of movies to look forward to and today, I'm going to be counting down the 10 that I am most anticipating. Make sure to let me know what your most anticipated movie of the …

Hey everyone, one of my most anticipated movies of summer 2024 - A Quiet Place: Day One - has now hit theaters. This is, of course, the spin-off of the two excellent John Krasinski directed A Quiet Place films that featured the Abbott family. The opening scene of A Quiet Place Part II featured a hint of what DAY ONE was in a small town but this mov…

Hey everyone, Pixar's Inside Out 2 has only been out in theaters for about a week and a half and it's already the biggest box office film of 2024! After the summer started off with a few whimpers, critically and financially, it seems this summer (for the movies) has started to turn around for the better... at least in terms of box office. After wee…

Hey everyone, welcome back to another review! Inside Out 2, the sequel to one of the most celebrated films Pixar (a FANTASTIC studio) has ever put out, has now hit theaters but the hype for this one just hasn't been there. I was looking forward to it and was very curious about what Pixar had to say about emotions during our teenage years as opposed…

Hey everybody, welcome back to MOVIE Morning! One of my most anticipated films of the year, Richard Linklater's Hit Man, has now hit theaters locally. It has been playing on Netflix in most markets for over a week now but that wasn't the case in my corner of the world where we're getting a full theatrical release. As a HUGE Linklater and Glen Powel…

Hey everyone, the fourth Bad Boys film - Bad Boys: Ride or Die - has hit theaters globally. I only got into this franchise a couple of years ago and admittedly, I am not really a super fan of the Bad Boys films like I am for some of my favorite action franchises like Mission: Impossible. That being said, Will Smith and Martin Lawrence's chemistry a…

Hey everybody, season 1 of the SPECTACULAR X-Men '97 has wrapped up its run on Disney+. have been EAGERLY awaiting covering the remainder of the season ever since I reviewed the first two episodes and how much I just LOVED them. While I do think the season does have its hiccups, this season is everything I love and have missed with the X-Men in the…

Hey everyone, the series premiere (first two episodes) of the latest Star Wars series ‘The Acolyte’ has dropped on Disney+. Prior to seeing how these shows eventually turned out, this was one of my more anticipated projects from Disney Star Wars but shows like The Book of Boba Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi have killed most of my enthusiasm for this franc…

Welcome back to another episode of MOVIE Morning as we discuss the first trailer for Sony and Marvel’s upcoming VENOM: THE LAST DANCE, the movie that seems to be Tom Hardy’s swan song playing this character. What I have I just witnessed? Rumors about the plot for this third entry have been circulating for a year now but now seeing the trailer, it’s…

Hey everyone... Garfield returns to the big screen in a new animated adaptation! The Garfield Movie is the latest summer 2024 blockbuster but one of the first to be directly aimed at kids so it's going to be interesting to see how the box office shapes up for this film over the next couple of weeks. While I was pretty big on reading Garfield comics…

Oh, what a day. What a lovely day! Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga - one of my absolute most anticipated movies of the entire year, let alone the summer movie season - has hit theaters. Straight from the mind of mastermind George Miller, Furiosa is the prequel to the universally beloved Mad Max: Fury Road, one of the greatest action movies ever made. I hav…

Hey everyone, John Krasinski's latest film 'IF' has hit theaters globally! I absolutely LOVED his two 'A Quiet Place' films and I love that, instead of continuing in his sandbox, he Krasinski decided to do something wildly different for his next film: what he has called a film for his kids. So, is IF the charming (and tearjerking) family event of t…

Hey everyone, "what a wonderful day!" Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, one of my most anticipated movies of the year, has now hit theaters!

Hey everyone, the day so many of us have been long-anticipating has finally arrived! James Gunn has dropped the first FULL LOOK at David Corenswet's Superman suit in the upcoming Superman film (formerly known as Superman: Legacy). This is EASILY my most anticipated upcoming movie because of how much I ADORE all of James Gunn's comic book films and …

Hello everybody, welcome to a (for those of you in the US, slightly early) review of the new Ryan Gosling & Emily Blunt film: The Fall Guy. This was easily one of my most anticipated films of the year; not because I watched the original 80s TV show but because I just loved the concept of creating a love letter to stuntmen, the unsung heroes of Holl…

Hey everyone, Zack Snyder is back with the second part of his 'Rebel Moon Epic' - The Scargiver. This film is intended to close out the story set up in Part One and, apparently, set up four other sequels or something (WHY???). As someone who enjoyed Part One enough and thought there was potential for this universe, Part Two quickly drained all the …

Hey everyone, Radio Silence's latest film Abigail has hit theaters! I've always enjoyed vampire flicks but more importantly, as I've been saying for years, I LOVE horror-comedies and Radio Silence seem to be doing a great job of keeping that blend of genres alive with Ready or Not, their two Scream films and now Abigail. So, is Abigail an instant c…

Hey everyone, summer movie season is here once again! These days, the summer movie season pretty much lasts from like April all the way to the first week of September which is like half the year, reducing the special feeling of the season BUT it's where we get our super fun popcorn films so I'm ready to have a blast again this year. Today, I'll be …

Hey everyone, the sequel to 2021's Ghostbusters: Afterlife and the fourth film in this continuity - Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire - has FINALLY hit theaters here! Better late than never! It has been a long 3-week wait for this film as this movie premiered pretty much EVERYWHERE else a while ago now, Traditionally though, I've never been the biggest G…

Hey everyone, Alex Garland’s Civil War, the movie destined to be potentially the most polarizing film in 2024 has hit theaters globally. Being a casual fan of Garland’s previous work like Ex Machina and Annihilation, I was curious how this film would play for me considering I LOVED the trailers for this post-apocalyptic take on America. So, is Civi…

Hey everyone, welcome back to MOVIE Morning. The trailer for the sequel to one of the first movies I ever reviewed on the show, Joker, has now hit the internet. I loved the first Joker but have had almost zero excitement for this sequel; I’ve been a lot more intrigued and curious. During WB’s Cinemacon presentation today, they dropped the first ful…

Hey everyone, the greatest superhero (show) in the universe - INVINCIBLE - has finally wrapped up the second half of season 2 on Amazon Prime Video. It has been a long wait to see season 2 and an even longer wait to see season 2 wrap up (obviously), including an almost 4-month long break in between parts. I have LOVED both the comic book series as …

Hey everyone, the next installment of Legendary's MonsterVerse - Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire - has hit theaters globally. I've never been huge into Kaijus and Godzilla films but I surprisingly enjoyed Godzilla vs. Kong (or at least the 30% of it that had epic monster action that was awesome). With Adam Wingard returning to direct I was hopeful …

Hey everyone, the 2024 remake of Road House, directed by Doug Liman and the insane amount of controversy on the release of this film, has now hit theatres. I hadn’t seen the original Road House until two months ago when the trailer for this film dropped and looked awesome. Because of that, I’ve been looking forward to sit down and check this out on…

Hey everyone, welcome back to MOVIE Morning. X-Men '97, the Marvel Studios revival of the original X-Men Animated Series has now begun on Disney+ with its first two episodes.

The Teen Titans have featured …

Hey everyone, with the HUGE (and surprise) box office success of Kung Fu Panda 4 so far, I wanted to continue the discussion about one of the most meaningful film franchises to me - the Kung Fu Panda series.

Hey everyone, my 2nd most anticipated movie of 2024 - Dune: Part Two - has now hit theaters globally and I had the opportunity to see it on IMAX just a couple of days ago. Part One was one of my favorite movies of 2021 and Denis Villeneuve has to be one of, if not THE, greatest working directors today. He makes films that perfectly disaplay WHY I l…
