- Blade Runner 2049 - Movie ReviewJay and Brad sit down to review the 30+ years in the making sequel, ‘Blade Runner 2049.’ Starring Ryan Gosling as K, a Blade Runner who is tasked to “retire” old replicants is suddenly thrown into a new case that might just destroy the fabric of the modern society. Directed by Denis Villeneuve (Arrival, Sicario), the film works to expand the story and world of the original 1982 ‘Blade Runner’ but also forge its own ground. Villeneuve is able to recapture the feel of the original film but modernizes it to fit his own lush aesthetics. Gosling’s K teams with the original Blade Runner, Rick Deckard, to solve a question that brings the sci-fi genre back to its roots of questions of existentialism and what it truly means to be human. Cast: Ryan Gosling Harrison Ford Jared Leto Robin Wright Ana de Armas Mackenzie Davis Sylvia Hoeks Dave Bautista Budget: $150-$185 Million Video Version of Review: here

The Kingsman universe lives somewhere between James Bond and Austin Powers, with a bit of almost superhero level action sprinkled in for good measure. Starring Taron Egerton once again as the young charismatic spy Eggsy. Egerton is joined by Colin Firth, Mark Strong, and Sophie Cookson all reprising their roles from Kingsman: The Secret Service. They are joined by the Statesman, the American version of the Kingsman, lead by Jeff Bridges, Pedro Pascal, Halle Berry, and Channing Tatum. The two teams have to come together to take on Julianne Moore who plays Poppy Adams, the head of an organization called “The Golden Circle.” Taking the best of what worked in the first film, and cranking them up while leaning heavily into the world that director Matthew Vaughn has created (based on the comic “Secret Service” by Mark Millar) makes for one of the more fun films this year. Balls to the wall action, well-placed comedy, and over the top international spycraft is a great combination this is ‘Kingsman: The Golden Circle.’ Video Version of Review: here Cast:

- Colin Firth as Harry Hart
- Julianne Moore as Poppy Adams

Telling the story of a royal family of aliens who reside in a hidden city on the moon, who work to keep themselves hidden from inhabitants of Earth. The show focuses on a breakdown in that royal family that involves a coup d'etat headed up by the king's own jealous brother. The rest of the royal family is forced to escape to the planet Earth, but their troubles are only just beginning. They must figure out their new home while fighting to regain the rightful place back in Attilan on the moon. The premiere episodes lay the ground work for a season that may have some potential, but that's merely speculative at this point. The footage shown in theaters was rather underwhelming but better than early buzz indicated.
