Robot women clones, eye-piercing sound design, and aliens in high positions of the Japanese government are just a taste of this Godzilla movie that is tangentially about Godzilla. Co-host Alex Ulaky and I are taken to the limits of how much dumb we can handle in this mind-numbing 94 minutes. 

Jordan Peele's latest horror film goes down a very different route than Get Out or Us, but like those films, it is best to know nothing going in to fully appreciate its mystery.

In the 29th Marvel Cinematic Universe film in the 5th phase of Disney's 5,000 years of plans for the franchise, Thor searches for his place in the world.

We did it everyone! We made it to so many Batman movies that in infamous Hollywood tradition we've reached the point where they just add or take away the word "The" before the title to differentiate it. The Final Destination, The Wolverine, Blair Witch. That being said, Batman is a character with a fairly consistent output of good to great content, from comics to movies to shows to games, you generally cannot go wrong with the Dark Knight.
