Hello fello cinephiles! In this episode of Cinebuds, Kristopher and Dori try to say good things about the new Jennifer Lawrence film, 'No Hard Feelings'. But honestly, they didn't really like the movie. *uncomfy face*

The buds welcomed Lawrence's return to acting, but really wanted stronger writing and more humor from the plot. Aside from that, they also took a break to explore a part of the DC universe and more.

What a time to be alive! In this episode of "Cinebuds," Kristopher & Dori talk about the new teen comedy (and somewhat action flick) Bottoms. They reminisce over the awkwardness and pressures of high school and laugh a lot at ALL of the randomness this movie possessess. They also gush over how funny Marshawn Lynch is in the movie, as the former athlete plays a high school teacher.

What else? Well, Kristopher got a sneak peek of Ethan Hawke's film with his daughter, Wildcat. And Dori had another 'Crappy Movie Night' with the film "Deep Blue Sea". Yea, the one with Michael Rappaport, Samuel L. Jackson and LL Cool J.
