“Dumb Money” may be a fun jaunt, but it isn’t an educational one.  Those who watch it in order to understand what took place and why will see only the most surface discussion of the issues.  For us, that’s a disappointment.

Gareth Edwards’ “The Creator” is now available on blu-ray and it isn’t just a cautionary tale, it’s so much more.  It has us completely convinced that a nuclear holocaust at the hands of artificial intelligence is definitely, beyond a shadow of a doubt, on the way.  Truly.

Well, we say that, and it is one thing, but only if you look at it from a certain point of view.  If you look at it another way, it’s a myriad of things.  Or, maybe it isn’t.  Perhaps it all depends on your definition of what the word “is” is, or something like that.

This week’s podcast looks at the movie, which is now on digital and will be available on Blu-ray come November 28th, and sorts out just why it is that this one works so well.  Plus, naturally, we throw in a plea for the actor/director to keep on making these movies.

While one of the movies is great and the other is not, there remains a whole lot of love and nostalgia for the characters in both.  Will we watch more of each franchise?  Do we want more of each franchise?  Is there a difference?

Slightly scarier than their usual sort of family film, this version of “Haunted Mansion” successfully walks that fine line between throwing in some bonuses for those familiar with the ride and not scaring away the newbies.  Well, maybe scaring them away with the ghosts and ghouls and what-not, but not in the other way.

If you love that sort of thing, then yes, you definitely want to see this.  If not, it’s probably best that you avoid it.  But, hypothetically, what if you only wanted to watch movies like that?  Where would that lead?  How many widening circles would you need until you were willing to sit down for a truly sappy love story?

All these questions and more (or maybe not) are answered this week.  And, of course, don’t forget to subscribe, we’re available for download at Apple Podcasts, iHeartRadio, Amazon Music/Audible and more.

Enter “Theater Camp,” which is currently available on digital.  The tale of a summer camp meant for theater kids, it is a story of outcasts finding a community, of love and friendship and dedication to an idea.  It is… fine.  It could have been great, but it’s fine.

Why is that a trope we see used so much?  What can we make of it?  Can anyone out there recommend a book for us to read about the psychology of it all?  If so, definitely drop a line.
