The TODDcast

Yes, lower your expectations. 

Anya Taylor Joy is good in everything.

Lives up to the comics, but if you didn't know them, this will probably disappoint you alot

If you like Skull Island at all and the King of the Monsters, this will probably work for you. Nothing earth shattering but the kaiju versus gorilla fight.

Didn't hate the Whedon cut? You probably won't hate this one either, but as both will illustrate you have to have a good foundation to begin with and sadly, the whole enterprise never really did. Listen to learn what the big problem with both was. While this one has some things going for it, there was a reason Warner stopped this before it it was saved by the fans.

What it finally took to get me to re-up Disney Plus. Marvel doesn't pull their punches in action or character work for this "show." Just go watch.

A particularly good telling of a true-crime story that rocked the Mormon church in the 1980s dealing with a master forger, the ramifications of him fooling the church, and what he did to cover up his crimes. I enjoyed it because I read the in-depth story via a book called "A Gathering of Saints" and it was great to see it come to life.

Do like time loop movies? Do you like shoot'em up video games? Yeah, you're gonna like this.

Frank Grillo is excellent as the shooter in this live action video game that plays well with the rules of time loop movies.

Best of its genre since "Edge of Tomorrow" or "Live Die Repeat".

Did you ask for the nostalgic cash grab? Me neither. Murphy and company hit most of their marks, but it still doesn't et many laughs that weren't in the original.

A decidedly mixed tone makes this hard to recommend to most people. While going to a black comedy feel, it has more in common with a mobster flick. Performances by Pike, Dinklage, and Wiest make it worth a watch, but not everyone's cup of tea.

As a contender for Oscar, this meditative look at the camper/van lifestyle of retirees and people who want to live off the grid is anchored by an award-winning performance by Frances McDormand.

Take the movies of Neill Blomkamp like District 9 and Elysium and mix them with the gungho antics of Guardian of the Galaxy with South Korean production values and you get a decent action movie.
