Welcome back to Man on Film, the sassiest review show under the rainbow —where bad movies get dragged and good ones get snaps. This week? We sat through the fever dream that is GOOD BOY, a horror flick that made us want to call the ASPCA. Twice.

Was it a metaphor for death? Mental illness? Or just a hot muddy mess? We break it down scene by confusing scene—from taxidermy wills to animal clairvoyance to actual hell portals in the basement. The only one earning their check? The dog. And he deserves a Netflix deal.

 _?_ Snap?.

 _?_ Star?.

 Epic or Epic Fail

Featuring guest reviewer Mr. Carvaccio (begrudgingly), and hosted by the unapologetic, always extra, X. Tune in if you want to laugh, gag, and possibly write a letter to the theater chain for emotional damages.

 Rated E for Explicit (because the truth hurts and we curse when it’s bad).

It’s raining cinema, and your “Man on Film” Savage Reviewer” is back from the stars with the “ULTIMATE” Bugonia MOVIE 🍿 review — a genre-shifting thriller that might be the sneaky good Movie Mr.Xcellence has been yearning for all 2025?!?🛸

We’re talking:

• Emma Stone’s glorious imperial slay
• Jesse Plemons doing a full emotional detour
• Theoretical timelines, sci-fi satire, and why the Earth might be flat if you’re seeing it from her ship
• AND… the moment that made us all go: “Oh, we’re not surviving this.”

We gave it a rare 4.5 stars, with room to rise after a second watch. It’s weird, smart, slightly unhinged, and probably a warning from actual aliens.

Press play and prepare for spoilers, sass, cinema — and a low-budget rebellion that ended humanity with a bang (literally).

🎥 Did our beloved reviewer say “Hated it”?!? Or was it “LOVED IT?❤️

 EPISODE SUMMARY:

In this episode of Man on Film, your host Xcellence is joined by the always-theatrical guest host Mr. Carvaggio to decode, debate, and dissect "GOOD FORTUNE" the New Keanu Reeves Movie written and directed by Aziz Ansari and distributed by Lionsgate Films Good Fortune, a surreal comedy that asks: What would you do if you could literally change your destiny?

Expect sass, philosophy, and a little Hollywood side-eye as the duo break down:

 Aziz Ansari’s curious directorial choices

 Keke Palmer’s celestial glow

 The film’s chaotic energy — part It’s a Wonderful Life, part Afterschool Special, part “what in the SAG-AFTRA is this?”

Excellence calls it a “faith-based acid trip.” Carvaggio calls it “inspiring… if you ignore the budget.”

A messy morality tale meets a B-movie fever dream. So is Good Fortune actually… good? Tune in and find out.

Step into the shadows with this sharp, hilarious, and surprisingly emotional review of The Black Phone 2 — a film that dares to blend trauma, telephones, and terror into one twisted trip.

In this episode, Xcellence teams up with his ever-dramatic and stylishly skeptical cohost, Mr. Carvaggio, for a cinematic takedown (or is it a redemption?) of one of the most anticipated horror sequels of the year.

Together, they ask the big questions:

• Did the ghost of Ethan Hawke leave enough room for a real plot?
• Are kids still the creepiest part of horror?
• And most importantly… how would you answer the phone from the other side ON A LAKE AT 1AM?
• DID FREDDY KRUGER AND JASON VOORHEES ASK FOR THEIR POWERS & MOVIE PLOTS BACK?! 🤔🤡☠️☠️☠️🎙🎙🔥🚨🚨🚨😒😒🫠

This isn’t your typical film review — it’s art critique meets pop culture drag meets spirit realm roast. Equal parts shade and insight, expect laughs, light reads, and some hard truths about horror, Hollywood, and healing through the screen.

 Press play, if you dare…

 Available now on iHeart, Spotify, Apple, Amazon Music & wherever your nightmares stream.

In this savage first episode of Man on Film, host Andre Xcellence! dives into The Smashing Machine — the intense A24 drama starring Dwayne Johnson as MMA legend Mark Kerr. With striking performances, emotional punches, and some glaring structural flaws, this biopic hits hard… but does it hit right?

Andre breaks down the story, the real-life roots, what worked, and what dragged it down. He asks the hard questions: Was this a passion project or a power move? Did A24 undersell it? And does The Rock finally find vulnerability — or just another role that leaves more to be desired?

Rating: 3 out of 5.

It slaps in places, but sometimes it just smashes itself.
