Popcorn Junkie

This weekend the new releases landed on 4/20, meaning that after reviewing the new Amy Schumer movie I Feel Pretty, Super Troopers 1 &2, and the sex trafficking thriller Traffik, Jon discusses stoner comedies and their merits to those who don't partake.

While Borg vs McEnroe didn't make it to my area, this weekend still gave us Rampage, Blumhouse's Truth or Dare, Sgt. Stubby: An American Hero, and the wide release of Wes Anderson's Isle of Dogs, plus I throw in a short review of Anderson's first animated feature Fantastic Mr. Fox. Afterwards, I bring back the Magnificent Sevens with a new list: The Top 7 Stop Motion Animated Feature Films.

This week, Jon reviews the new sex comedy Blockers, the John Krasinski directed horror movie A Quiet Place, the Ted Kennedy biodrama Chappaquiddick, and the inspirational sports biodrama The Miracle Season. Plus, a discussion on sex comedies as a genre and if we even need them anymore.

Happy Easter Fools, listeners. This weekend, Jon reviews Ready Player One, the latest from Tyler Perry Acrimony, and the third God's Not Dead movie, A Light in the Darkness. Plus, a discussion on the nature of nostalgia and how filmmakers can make something good from it.

In the first SUPER MEGA AWESOME MOVIE REVIEW MADNESS of 2018, Jon reviews Pacific Rim: Uprising, Midnight Sun, Gnomeo and Juliet and its sequel Sherlock Gnomes, Unsane, and Paul, Apostle of Christ, plus a Netflix and Chat of Bob's Burgers.

On this episode, Jon reviews the new Tomb Raider, heaps praise upon Love, Simon, and trashes I Can Only Imagine and 7 Days in Entebbe before giving a quick discussion on why representation in cinema is important as well as what makes a good ally. Plus, shoutouts to different people Jon follows who are better people to discuss diversity and representation in film.

After reviewing A Wrinkle in Time, Gringo, The Hurricane Heist, and The Strangers 1 and 2, Jon brings up his history in being a reviewer and lists his favorite and least favorite movies during that time between when he started reviewing and when he started podcasting.

While there's no Gnome Alone this week, Jon is still able to review Eli Roth's Death Wish remake and Jennifer Lawrence's new movie Red Sparrow before diving into 2018's Academy and Razzie Awards, as well as comment on why we don't need either.

After reviewing Annihilation, Game Night, and Every Day, Jon discusses some other "unfilmable books" and even pitches some ideas of his own for adaptations of unfilmable books.

With the release of Black Panther (and Early Man and Samson too, I guess), Jon talks about the Hollywood Hype Machine, its downsides, and how to counteract it. Plus, a quick look at the winners of the 71st annual British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) awards.
