A 93 on Imdb, Sing Sing is a movie about a man falsely accused and Dori and Kristopher have some thoughts. Sounds serious but, in truth, a comedy of sorts.

Divine G (Colman Domingo), imprisoned at Sing Sing for a crime he didn’t commit, finds purpose by acting in a theatre group with other incarcerated men. When a wary outsider joins the group, the men decide to stage their first original comedy, in this stirring true story of resilience, humanity, and the transformative power of art, starring an unforgettable ensemble cast of formerly incarcerated actors.

Also, further thoughts on the new Deadpool film and Kristopher revisits all the X-Men movies...

M. Night Shyamalan's latest film is called "Trap," but what do Dori and Kristopher Pollard think about it? 

Produced and edited by Marcus Doucette

“Creepy kids” is practically a movie genre unto itself, especially if you broaden the scope and rightfully include films like Baby Geniuses and characters like Sid from Toy Story. Generally, though, these spooky little squirts are a well-deserved subset of horror that’s ripe for conversation — including the one in this episode of Cinebuds.

The easy thing to do would be to just jump into examples and rattle off a list, but that isn’t their style. Our film-loving duo digs down to the foundation and determines what qualifies as a “creepy kid” movie. What age is prime “creepy kid” territory? What are the tropes that connect these films? How did Martin Short find his way into the subgenre?
