Mike Flanagan brings Stephen King’s Carrie to Prime Video as a television series, and I found it both utterly captivating and incredibly difficult to watch. Let’s talk about the characters, the horrifying reality of bullying, and why the finale didn’t fully work for me. This review includes major spoilers, including discussion of the ending. What did you think of Carrie?

October 07 REVIEW | Digger | Movie Review
TODAY'S SPONSOR: Factor
Head to https://factormeals.com/seanchandler50off and use code seanchandler50off to get 50 percent off and free breakfast item per box. Eat like a pro this month with Factor.
I finally caught up with Digger, and Tom Cruise’s ambitious satire left me with a lot to unpack. There’s tremendous filmmaking, a committed Cruise performance, and layers of commentary about power, climate change, and public apathy. But the humor and ideas didn’t consistently land for me.
In this review, I discuss what worked, what felt hollow, and why I’d recommend Digger to cinephiles more than casual moviegoers. Then I explore its polarizing reception, box office struggles, enormous budget, and what its performance actually says about the demand for original movies.
Did you see Digger? What did you think? If you skipped it, what kept you from buying a ticket?

October 06 Lanterns Season 1 Review
TODAY'S SPONSOR: Factor
Head to https://factormeals.com/seanchandler50off and use code seanchandler50off to get 50 percent off and free breakfast item per box. Eat like a pro this month with Factor.
Season 1 of Lanterns has wrapped up, and I understand both sides of the debate. Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre deliver great performances as Hal Jordan and John Stewart, but I wanted more Green Lantern action, powers, and heroics.
In my full-season review, I discuss the strong character work, the True Detective approach, the “Surf Dracula” problem, John Stewart’s repeated origin stories, and the frustration of deconstructing superheroes before establishing them.
What did you think of Lanterns? Share your thoughts below, along with your experience with Green Lantern, the DCU, and True Detective!
SPOILER WARNING: Specific story and finale spoilers begin at 8:06.
#Lanterns #GreenLantern #DCU0:00 Intro
0:34 Why I agree with both sides
1:41 Great leads and layered characters
2:10 Cosmic police in small-town Nebraska
4:25 True Detective with a Green Lantern skin
6:51 The “Surf Dracula” problem
8:06 SPOILERS: John Stewart’s three origin stories
11:13 Kyle Chandler, Aaron Pierre & character dynamics
12:06 Deconstructing heroes before building them
14:44 Using superhero franchises to tell other stories
16:34 Why both sides of the debate have a point
17:19 What Arrow and The Flash delivered immediately
18:49 Final verdict

But unlike Endgame or No Way Home, there was no obvious gimmick explaining why it reached this level.
So how did a standard Spider-Man sequel break domestic records and open 50% bigger than No Way Home?
Here are eight factors that created the perfect box office storm.

July 31 SPOILERS | Spider-Man Brand New Day
SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY is finally here, I've now seen it TWICE, and it's time to talk SPOILERS!We're breaking down everything: Peter Parker returning to being the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, Scorpion and Tombstone, the bizarre use of The Hand, Jon Bernthal's Punisher, the return of rage monster Hulk, Yelena, MJ and Ned, Damage Control, Peter's Spider-Mutation and the massive introduction of Jean Grey.And that Jean Grey reveal gives us A LOT to discuss.The movie wants us to sympathize with her, but she also drives a tank through New York, plants a bomb at a government facility, takes control of innocent people, sends someone walking into traffic and intentionally uses Peter's memories of MJ to emotionally torment him.We also need to talk about Peter's mutation and the technology he creates to restrain powered individuals. Is Spider-Man: Brand New Day quietly setting up one of the biggest threats mutants and the X-Men will face in the MCU?Then there's the third act, the latest Marvel third-act trope, and the post-credit scene.FULL SPOILERS ahead!TIMESTAMPS (SPOILERS IN TIME STAMPS)0:00 Intro0:44 Second Viewing Review11:45 Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man15:56 Scorpion & Tombstone18:56 The Hand22:46 Frank Castle / Punisher31:36 The Hulk34:41 Yelena39:13 MJ & Ned44:28 The Main Plot & Damage Control47:25 Spider-Mutation & Mutant Tech50:53 Jean Grey1:00:36 Third Act1:03:29 Post-Credit Scene#SpiderManBrandNewDay #SpiderMan #MarvelFIND ME ONLINE

July 28 REVIEW | Spider-Man: Brand New Day (SPOILER FREE REVIEW)
Spider-Man is back! Here is my SPOILER FREE review of SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY, the fourth Tom Holland Spider-Man movie.
After five years away from the big screen, Peter Parker returns with a more grounded, New York-centered story featuring Punisher, Hulk, MJ, Ned and plenty of surprises Marvel has managed to keep under wraps.
Does Brand New Day deliver the street-level Spider-Man movie fans have been waiting for? How does the more mature tone work? And what do Punisher and Hulk add to the movie?
Let's talk about it!
