062 - Marty Supreme, Dir. Josh Safdie 

Along comes a movie like Marty Supreme.  It has all the makings of an Oscar Winner, down to a very unlikeable character played by someone who produced the movie.  

Timothy Chalamet puts out another unforgettable role as Marty Mauser- a man who will do and say anything to be the best at his game: Table Tennis.  He's a man who manipulates any and all situations and is very unlikeable, but is that part of the charm?  You tell us.

061 - Avatar: Fire and Ash, Dir. James Cameron

James Cameron is a director who has made some of the biggest films of his time.  The Terminator, Aliens. Terminator 2, True Lies, The Abyss, and Titanic, to name some. 

Avatar (2009) became one of the biggest box office successes in history with its sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) doing almost as well.  2025 brings us the newest installment, Fire and Ash- a rehashed story form the first two films and a smaller opening weekend.  is this Avatar fatigue?  Or simply the results of a movie that is not as good as expected?

060 - Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, Rian Johnson

Benoit Blanc is back!  ...He appears just after the 36 minute mark, which is way too long.  However, this Knives Out Installment is pretty great.  For Netflix, this is a huge win.

Daniel Craig's wonderful and charming detective with a southern drawl is accompanied by an ensemble cast that is also wonderful.  The fun in this one isn't figuring out whodunit but whytheydoneit.  Don't miss it- On Netflix.

059 - Five Nights at Freddy's 2, Dir. Emma Tammi

Five Nights at Freddy's (2023) was a surprising hit.  It was absurd, but had elements to make it work in ways it probably shouldn't have.    

Five Nights at Freddys 2 (2025) somehow lost the magic it had.  Did we need another Five Nights at Freddy's Movie?

058 - Zootopia 2, Dir. Jared Bush / Byran Howard

Zootopia (2016) smashed many box office records and received wonderful critical acclaim- over 40 awards.  

Zootopia 2 (2025) is more of the same.  Is that a good thing or bad?  Does a generic sequel to an insanely popular animated Disney film have to reinvent the wheel or simply exist?  Tune in, find out.

057 - Wicked: For Good

Wicked is a beloved stage musical that lit the world on fire with very memorable performances.  The film adaption did many things right.  Wicked: For Good is more of the same good choices that made the 2024 part one so well received.  

It's easy to like Wicked and Wicked: For Good and it's not hard to see why.

056 - The Running Man (2025), Dir. Edgar Wright

From Arnold Schwarzenegger in 1987 to Glenn Powell in 2025- we get to revisit the Steven King story- The Running Man.  It's a look at a dystopian future where government control has everyone squeezed to the breaking point and one man is forced to risk life and limb to get money to help his sick daughter.  

Does that sound hokey?  It should.  The Running Man (2025) succeeds in being a visual upgrade but doesn't use the means to fully tell that story.  Handsome Glenn is a huge plus though.  If you get to see this on IMAX, you won't regret it.

055 - Predator: Badlands, Dir. Dan Trachtenberg

Predator (1987) started the franchise off as a Science Fiction masterpiece- an almost unbeatable hunter doing battle against a special forces commando unit complete with Arnold Schwarzenegger and director John McTiernan 80's magic.  Now, in 2025, we get the latest installment with a twist- the Predator is not only the protagonist but also very humanized and we are sympathetic towards him.

Predator: Badlands tries to be different in an already very established franchise.  There are some excellent points made on this episode: Is this an Alien movie with a Predator in it?  Has Predator been Disney-fied, complete with a Stitch-esque sidekick?  Does this film make sense in the established Predator (and Alien) universe?

054 - Bugonia, Dir. Yorgos Lanthimos

Bruce Springsteen is a cultural and musical Icon of his time.  A Rockstar that wrote and sang for the common man, the blue-collar worker.  His name is one that people know and time will never forget.

Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere is a very small piece of that timeline, set in the years before "Born in the USA" while working on his "Nebraska" album adapted from the novel by Warren Zanes.   The catch to this film?  It's a much slower look into those years and his almost crippling depression.  Jeremy Allen White is fantastic, as always, along with his supporting cast.  Springsteen fans will enjoy this.
