What is revealed is more horrific than just the stories you might have heard. This is a must-watch documentary. Listen to our review to hear why.

'The Art of Racing in the Rain' is a dog movie with a bit more bite

8/29/2019

Picture
What do you get when you mix golden retrievers, Kevin Costner, race cars, and movies? A perfect cocktail of a dog movie. Unlike Marley & Me and the recent A Dog's Journey series, The Art of Racing in the Rain is a dog movie with some actual substance.

Take a listen to hear our full review.

'Be Natural' uncovers the lost story of movie maven Alice Guy-Blaché

Picture
The origins of film are wrapped up in the romantic stories of the Lumière brothers and Thomas Edison. Moving pictures were a curiosity. It took a woman to really explore the potential of storytelling with film. And that woman was Alice Guy-Blaché. Director, writer, cinematographer, studio founder, she did it all from the beginning. But her story has been lost to cinematic history -- until now.
Be Natural uncovers one of the movie greats and gives her the justice and spotlight she deserves.

Best feel-good movie of 2019 - 'The Peanut Butter Falcon'

8/12/2019

Picture
If you're looking for a movie to lift your soul and bring a smile to your face, then you must see The Peanut Butter Falcon. Starring Zack Gottsagen as Zac, a young man with Down's Syndrome and big dreams. Zac escapes his state run home to chase his vision of becoming a pro-wrestler.  He runs into Tyler, (Shia LaBeouf), a fisherman who's on the run. They voyage down the coast in having adventures that truly evoke Mark Twain. We can't recommend this movie enough. Go see The Peanut Butter Falcon!

'Hobbs & Shaw' is the perfect summer brain candy

8/2/2019

Picture
The action franchise all about cars and hot guys gets a new direction with the "frienemy-road-trip" film in the Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Jason Statham reprise their roles as Hobbs and Shaw. They are tasked with saving the world, but their working relationship is more than a little strained.  Joining the franchise are Vanessa Kirby and Idris Alba.

Kaely, Tuesday, and special guest Kathy Ritchie (a self-proclaimed Fast & Furious aficionado) test drive this film. Together, we take this movie's measure, flip-off the high-brow critics, and debate who's brand of alcohol is best. We give a full-female perspective on this fun-testosterone filled film

'Skin' will turn your stomach but stay with you

8/2/2019

Picture
Gripping, stomach-turning, and compelling, A24's Skin is a film that will stick with you. Following the story of Bryon Widner, a neo-Nazi who tries to leave his community, we get a glimpse into a world that most mainstream studios would not touch. There's a lot to unpack in this movie.

Kaely and Tuesday take a deep psychological dive into how one can get sucked into one of these groups.
