Join us as we break down the latest Hollywood news and rumors pulled this week from a flood of trailers for exciting upcoming films including Daniel Craig's new Bond film "No Time To Die", Patty Jenkin's Wonder Woman sequel, and Jason Reitman's new Ghostbusters movie.

Over two decades after Goodfellas and Casino, Martin Scorsese is getting the band back together for one last hurrah. Featuring the power trio of Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, and the formerly retired Joe Pesci, Scorsese once again delves into violent, familiar waters in this three and a half hour gangster epic to tell the story of former mob enforcer and Jimmy Hoffa associate, Frank Sheeran. Is it too long? Should movies like this only be seen on the big screen? Is this an irresponsible narrative to be promoting? And most importantly, is it better than Michael Bay's Transformers? 

Join us this week as we break down the latest Hollywood news and rumors including a brief teaser for the upcoming Daniel Craig Bond film, reports that Christopher Nolan's Tenet will have a featurette before the start of Star Wars: Episode IX, and Warner Brothers uncertain of what to do with Superman. (FREE HINT: they should try putting him in a good movie)

6 years after Let It Go, Elsa and Anna are back for a new, exotic, and slightly more mature adventure to save Arendelle from restless elemental forces. And we can think of no more appropriate response to this adorable sequel to a beloved film for children than to have several grown men ruthlessly dissect it until North is South, left is right, up is down, and day is night.

Join us this week as we break down the latest Hollywood news and rumors including the announcement that Noah Hawley of Fargo and Legion fame will helm the next Star Trek film, John Turturro cast as Carmine Falcone in Matt Reeves' Batman, and DC and Todd Phillips duking it out over a sequel to the Joaquin Phoenix Joker.

Disney+ debuted this past week and everyone on planet Earth already has it. We'll touch on some of the first impressions of the platform and it's new content but, really, we're here to talk The Mandalorian. This first live-action Star Wars series is a product of Renaissance Man Jon Favreau, a plethora of notable actors and directors, and enormous piles of cold, hard cash. We take a look at this hot, new series and also tag on a little chat about some recent flagrant Oscar-bait, Ford v. Ferrari.

Since Veteran's Day is synonymous with watching Saving Private Ryan on literally any channel at any time of the day, we thought it would be a good opportunity to look back on some of our favorite war movies. Some are inspiring, others are chilling, and most are some messy, affecting combination of the two. Along with the best, we've also thrown in a few of the most misguided attempts at a war story just for comparison.

Join us this week as we break down the latest Hollywood news and rumors including a trailer for the upcoming Scooby-Doo animated film, SCOOB!, new casting developments for Matt Reeves' Batman, and Amazon partners with Critical Role to expand their upcoming animated series.

This week we're taking a stroll back through cinema history to explore the wonderfully cheesy history of original songs written for movies. Traversing decade by decade, we'll explore some of the greatest hits and trends of original songs that were equally as memorable (if not more so) than the movies they were attached to and crown some of our personal favorites.

Join us this week as we break down the latest Hollywood news and rumors including the announcement of a Spider-verse sequel due out 2022, the return of Peyton Reed for Ant-man 3, all the new things announced for HBO Max and what that even means, and the Game of Thrones showrunners drop out of Star Wars.
