Nick and Foxx are back this week and reviewing Matrix: Resurrections. This is the 4th installment of the Matrix franchise that reboots the story. While extremely meta and subverting the previously three movies, Resurrections features an intriguing and trippy concept, but with poor execution. This might be the first and only review we ever do where we have more questions than answers, which leads to a very fun and entertaining conversation.

It is the episode we have all ben waiting for... Nick and Foxx are finally getting to review Spider-Man No Way Home. It is 2.5 hours of nothing but Spider-Man and Marvel Talk, and it was awesome. Buckle up for a wild ride.

Nick and Foxx are back reviewing House of Gucci this week as this is the latest ensemble movie to hit theaters. This is based on the true story of the murder of Maurizio Gucci and the rise of the Gucci brand. While there is a story to tell, Ridley Scott and co. do not always do the best job at telling it. They choose to go in depth in certain areas that don't necessarily need it, but fail to add depth in other areas that do need it, which is already a problem, but is amplified by the fact that this movie is over 2.5 hours long. That being said, this movie is held up strongly by the performances of Lady Gaga, Adam Driver and the others. It is campy and overacted, but you cannot say that they did not try.

Nick and Foxx are back and reviewing The Harder They Fall this week. This Western is a recent Netflix film that features a stacked cast headlined by Johnathan Majors, Idris Elba, Regina King and more. While the move has it's rough patches, it does finish on a strong note and the cast shines throughout. Johnathan Majors proves he is capable of being a leading actor as his performance is arguably the strongest among the litany of high powered actors around him. It isn't an instant classic, but this movie is worth the watch.

Nick and Foxx are back reviewing Ghostbusters: Afterlife today. The latest iteration of the franchise, Ghostbusters: Afterlife does more for the franchise than its 2016 predecessor. This film pays homage to the aspects of the original movies that made them so special, but does not try to copy what made them special either. Paul Rudd & McKenna Grace steal the show as this is a very solid sequel to the franchise.

Nick and Foxx are back as the review the highly anticipated movie from Will Smith about the life of the tennis superstar sisters Venus and Serena Williams. This movie tackles the story telling of two of the biggest sports stars in the world at a time where the path to stardom was very unclear. Not only does Will Smith display his ability to play a dramatic role, he does so in amazing fashion in a performance that should and will garner Oscar attention. A strong supporting cast and a well written film making this one of the best moves of the year without question.

Nick and Foxx are back covering a very busy week in movie news. We tackle all of the announcements from Disney Plus Day and breakdown what we're most excited for. We then transition to the most recent No Way Home trailer that came out on Tuesday and give our thoughts, reactions and some minor predictions. For TNT, we talk about 'Don't Look Up' & 'Dog' as well as the Avatar Live Action Series, New Movie Posters & more!

We then get into our review of Red Notice. A stacked trio with The Rock, Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot is Netflix's most recent effort to throw something at a wall and see what sticks. This is the most typical Rock & Ryan Reynolds movie ever, but the chemistry and charisma keep this movie entertaining. It won't be for everyone, but the movie is self-aware enough to know what it is, and that is enough to make it an easy watch.

Nick and Foxx are back for their second episode this week as they get away from the major blockbuster releases and to a film like Last Night in Soho. This film is from Director Edgar Wright and features an aspiring fashion designer that is mysteriously able to enter the 1960s where she encounters a dazzling wannabe singer. But the glamour is not all it appears to be and the dreams of the past start to crack and splinter into something darker. Wright uses all of his tricks, creating great lighting, tone setting and smooth transitions between Thomasin McKenzie and Anya-Taylor Joy. Giving off who-done-it vibes, this film does feature a few red herrings that you can see through, but does have a satisfying ending. It can be a slow burn at times, but overall this movie is worth checking out.

Nick and Foxx are back after a brief hiatus and are reviewing the latest MCU blockbuster: Eternals. This is from Academy Award winning Director Chloe Zhao about the saga of the Eternals, a race of immortal beings who lived on Earth and shaped its history and civilizations. A different take on a Marvel film, Zhao breaks the mold for superhero films and brings her own vision to the MCU. After a turbulent start, the movie settles down to be very enjoyable and surprisingly manages to connect with almost every character despite introducing 11 new heroes. There are issues with this film, but the risks Zhao opts to take pay off big time as they advance the storyline and offer a more emotional story.

Nick and Foxx are back this week reviewing the highly anticipated Dune. An adaptation of the novel, Dune is quite the spectacle as director Denis Villeneuve delivers some stunning visual effects. This combined with a stacked cast and a strong source material should lead to a great film. However, the adaptation isn't quite seamless. Plenty of the story gets lost in the shuffle as the lore is deep and complex, and while this first act is an attempt at world building for the Dune universe, you are still left with plenty of questions by the end.
