This week at the QuaranCinema, Sarah and Ricky spend 4 hours and 2 minutes with Zack Snyder’s Justice League (streaming on HBOMAX) and not a minute more..... maybe a few more if you pulled an All Nighter Snyder like Ricky did.  Was it worth it? Oh they got thoughts! They also talk about the legend that was Yaphet Kotto, director's cuts, troubled productions, the Snyderverse, multiverses, and completely forget to mention that the craziest thing about ZSJL is IT'S SHOT IN 4:3 WTF ZS!?!?

This week at the QuaranCinema, cue up The Go-Go’s and grab a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos because Sarah and Ricky are heading to Tucson, Arizona for Romy & Michelle’s High School reunion!  Sarah talks about her love for the 1997 comedy, Ricky talks about his love of 90s soundtracks, and both agree that Wang Chung’s Dance Hall Days is still a banger.  They also share their thoughts on this year’s Oscar noms, their favorite quotable movies, and their own BFF’s.

In the soulful words of Reverend Brown, “I don’t know what you came to do but 🎶Iiiiiiiiiii🎶 came to PRAY!” ...And never have we all prayed so much for a movie to be good as this week Sarah and Ricky return 2 the QuaranCinema for COMING 2 AMERICA (currently streaming on Amazon Prime). Was a return trip to Zamunda worth the 30 year wait? When we think of trash will we still think of Akeem? Will Ricky make you his sworn enemy if you didn’t enjoy it as much as he did? Can we all agree that Louie Anderson is the greatest McDowell’s employee of all time? It’s a spoiler-heavy discussion about all things Coming 2 America. Plus, Sarah and Ricky discuss their top 5 favorite coming to America movies and since they’re in travel movie mode, they also talk some BARB AND STAR GO TO VISTA DEL MAR (available to rent on all streaming platforms).

This week Sarah and Ricky sat down on their couch to be dazzled by Denzel, but instead they watched #THE LITTLETHINGS (currently streaming on #HBOMAX). They talk all things Denzel; what franchise would we like to see Denzel join? Which directors would we like to see Denzel work with? What non-Denzel role would we want Denzel to take on? It's all day Denzel up in the #QuaranCinema!
