Hello there! This week we'll tee up Christopher Nolan's new movie The Odyssey, which is getting terrific reviews. We'll also tee up the new Will Ferrell golf comedy on Netflix, The Hawk, which is TERRIBLE. I watched the original Moana and its 2024 sequel in the wake of the live action remake's box office failure. We offer our thoughts on season 2 of X-Men 97, and Jeff went to see Supergirl. Sam Neill has died at 78. And in honour of the recent 4th of July, I decided to revisit the 1996 classic Independence Day, and the not-so-classic from 2016, Independence Day Resurgence. I didn't hate it this time! - Brett

The Emmy nominations are out so we go through the ones we've seen, or should we say the ones we HAVEN'T seen?? Because... there are many.

AND, Jeff shares some exciting news on the new HEAT project, and I'll take a look at season 3 of the excellent sci-fi series Silo. - Brett

Hello there! This week we'll tee up the new movies, including a new one starring the Minions. I am not a fan.

Jeff checked out Avatar: Fire and Ash, now that it's on Disney+, and I watched some Avatar... the other one... again! I rewatched season 2 of Avatar: The Last Airbender on Netflix, and it helped me formalize some more thoughts on why having good characters is SO IMPORTANT YES I AM YELLING - Brett

This week we'll review the first episode of season 3 of House of the Dragon, we'll tee up the new movies Supergirl and Jackass, I've got a follow-up review on a show I touched on last week and I am SO MAD.

This week we look at the new movies including Steven Spielberg's latest 'Disclosure Day', and have a chat about the amazing career he's had. Jeff will tell you about the Lifetime Achievement Award special for Eddie Murphy. And we discussed two new movie trailers which both fill Jeff with existential terror... a movie called 'Whalefall' about a guy getting swallowed by a giant whale, and another one called 'Fall 2: Deadpoint', about people stranded on a tiny perch on the side of a mountain roughly 5,000 feet off the ground! - Brett
