MAD UNREAL

Moon Knight hits Disney Plus just after Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist add a hard “R” to the streaming service’s MCU…

Obi-Wan Kenobi is—as Axel Foley would say—deep, deep, DEEP uncover as we enter the final stretch in the lead-up to the most anticipated Star Wars moment in decades…

Mad Unreal’s own Arturius Maximus is primed for his next fateful battle with the enemy he can’t seem to escape: the dreaded, and oh so popular, MULTI-VERSE…

And last but not least: what could be the most idiosyncratic mainstream comic book film in the modern era has just become available on HBO Max. So, in honor of the fact that many of you will be seeing The Batman for the first time, we’re taking this opportunity to break out our lists of the Top 5 Batman Movies of All Time.

In this world, only three things are certain: death, taxes, and… another Batman movie.

Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” has finally arrived in theaters, and with it comes a bevy of expectations and curiosity about the film’s potential to launch yet another lucrative franchise. But the question is: do we need one? In a post Christopher Nolan Bat-verse, how does this new incarnation of the Dark Knight and his cast of iconic criminals, corrupt cops, and amoral allies measure up? How will it feel for millions of fans to experience a new cinematic interpretation of a city famous for its ability to simultaneously attract and repulse us? And most importantly, does the movie have anything compelling to say about Bruce Wayne and the Batman: a character whose story we know so well, yet can’t seem to get enough of?

No Time to Die dropped on Friday—and we saw it. So get ready for an extended bonus episode of '007 And Counting', where we give our initial reactions, raw thoughts, likes, dislikes, questions, and answers about a movie we’ve been waiting nearly two years to see. We’re "live" both immediately before seeing NTTD and immediately after. So, whether you’re a causal James Bond fan or a die hard, this is an episode of Mad Unreal you don’t want to miss.

We’ve spent the past five weeks having a fantastic time diving into the oeuvre of James Bond, following him from the streets of Harlem all the way to the snowy slopes of Switzerland. And it’s all led to this: a close look at the film many regard as the best in the Bond canon. Join us as we conclude Mad Unreal’s special ‘007 And Counting’ countdown by exploring the Cold War intrigue of 1963’s From Russia with Love. And that’s not all! After enjoying this special ep, come back next week for an extra special episode featuring our complete breakdown of the 25th James Bond film: No Time to Die.

The Mad Unreal countdown to No Time to Die is in its final two weeks! This week on ‘007 And Counting’ we’re taking a close look at Pierce Brosnan’s penultimate turn as James Bond in a film named after the Bond family motto: 1999’s The World Is Not Enough. In a movie that deftly highlights some of Brosnan’s most notable contributions to the Bond persona, TWINE also gives us one of the series’s most intriguing and under-appreciated villains, along with what may be Bond’s most thrilling pre-titles sequence yet.
