Cinema Royale

Come on! You didn’t think I’d go the whole weekend without talking about Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse again, did you? A film of this magnitude deserves a bit more personal attention than usual, so in this episode of Cinema Royale I’m flying solo to express all of my thoughts on what is a truly remarkable sequel, the rare sequel that surpasses its predecessor.
Well, I guess you know how I feel about it then! You can still watch (or listen through your preferred podcast outlet) and get a sense of how awkward I am when doing these things off the cuff. But I rather do it like this than by jotting down a bunch of notes. It’s the way I talk movies with my friends, and I hope that comes through to all of you.

On the latest episode of Cinema Royale, we’re going under the sea to review Disney’s live-action remake of The Little Mermaid! My good friend Karen Peterson of the Citizen Dame podcast joins me to discuss the “controversial” casting of Halle Bailey as Ariel, whether Ariel’s aquatic animal pals look weird with mouths, and whether Disney will ever again cast a charismatic actor to play a Disney prince. Sure doesn’t seem like it.I’m on record predicting The Little Mermaid will be the biggest box office hit of the year. Just how wrong am I going to be here, anyway? We’ll talk about that and a lot more!

The end of the road begins here? Say it ain’t so! Those of us who are still living our lives a quarter mile at a time, and hoping for the elusive 10-second-mile, can’t imagine what it would be like without our Family. If it wasn’t obvious enough, on this week’s Cinema Royale it’s all about Fast X, the final, fateful conclusion to the saga that Vin Diesel built!I’m joined by my homie Chris Bumbray of Joblo.com to talk about all things Fast X, and we try our best to keep it spoiler free so you’re relatively safe. Mainly we spend a lot of time gushing about Jason Momoa who is absolutely wild in this.Subscribe to Punch Drunk Critics on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@PunchDrunkCritics1Follow Punch Drunk Critics on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/pdcmoviesFollow Punch Drunk Critics on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pdcmoviesSubscribe To Cinema Royale anywhere you get your podcasts!

On this episode of Cinema Royale, I decided to go solo rather than invite guests on to talk about Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. While my review has been posted for a few days, I wanted to verbalize my feelings on it and my feelings towards the franchise as a whole. James Gunn has created something special within the MCU with these movies, and saying goodbye to it in its current form had more of an emotional impact on me than expected.

After a couple of weeks away, I wanted to get Cinema Royale back on track talking about two recent horror movies, one that failed and one that didn’t. The first is The Pope’s Exorcist, starring Russell Crowe. The other is Renfield, featuring Nicolas Cage as Dracula. Both movies are attempting to do the same thing, ultimately, which is launch franchises. But one was successful and is getting a sequel, while the other has tanked at the box office. The question is why?

SHAZAM!! On the latest episode of Cinema Royale, it’s time to get powered up with DC’s Shazam! Fury of the Gods! Zachary Levi returns as god-powered superhero who is really just a teen kid, both literally and at heart. But the film arrives at a curious time for the future of DC movies, and is it good enough that James Gunn will want to carry it forward and into the future?

Of course, joining the show to talk about Shazam is fellow comic book fan and film critic Julian Lytle, because there’s nobody else I’d rather turn to.
