Crank up the amp and spice up your taco bowl with a bit of cumin, cause today we’re sitting down for a feast of a film called “Dinner in America!” Kyle Gallner stars as rebellious punk freakazaoid Simon, a social outcast scraping by in the hellish suburbia of Michigan. Crossing paths with the neurodivergent outsider Patty, played by Emily Skeggs, the two form an unlikely bond, the likes of which none have seen since oil met water.

What begins as an assault on the senses, ends up being a heartfelt story of finding your person, standing up for whats right, and the true meaning of being punk rock.

To sum it up? The movie is tits. Is tits good?

From visionary directing duo, The Wachowski’s, comes a film so thought-provoking, the biggest question it provoked was: “What the hell is going on?” It’s Cloud Atlas! This sci-fi epic based on the novel by David Mitchell weaves 6 intertwining stories across time meditating on the human condition and the bonds that last lifetimes. It’s like JoJo but with less punching! Try to follow along and marvel at the attempts at makeup as well as depictions of Asianface that would make Mickey Rooney look woke.

Speaking of woke, make sure to stay awake for the three hour runtime as well as today’s episode of: The TRACcast.

Back in the far past of 2009, there was so much going on in the world. Barack Obama became president, Bitcoin became the first cryptocurrency, and swine flu caused mass panic. For us, though, K-pop star Rain had us seeing throwing stars in the cult martial arts flick, “Ninja Assassin!” Rain stars as Raizo, a man seeking to put a stop to the ninja clan that trained him alongside Europol agent Mika.

With the Wachowski touch, this stylized send-up of ninja movies is sure to bring pulse-pounding action to your dextropositioned heart!

Who let the dogs out to commit acts of murder by canine? Why Emma Thompson, of course! From the director of acclaimed biopic “I, Tonya” comes a Disney live-action remake that actually doesn’t suck! It’s “Cruella!” Emma Stone plays famed dog-skinner Cruella de Vil, notably less of a mutt murdering sort here and more of the “comically eating bananas straight from the dumpster” sort. Hey! It’s Progress! Follow along as we see the events that turned this fashion world dreamer into the wicked girlboss we know and love today.

Hey Disney, when are we getting that tragic origin film about Captain Hook? I sent you the script four months ago! His family gets killed by a crocodile, and Smee is his lover! Trevor Gregory: Host, Producer

Oh Riki you’re so fine. You’re so fine you blow my mind. Literally out the back of my skull! In the Hong Kong martial arts classic, Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky! The film follows the titular Riki, who has been sent to jail for killing his girlfriend’s sort-of killers I think? Riki quickly establishes his penchant for justice by tearing people apart like they were suddenly made of rubber and corn syrup. Watch as our hero barely struggles against adversity and the random English speakers they pulled off the street to do the dub work hard for the 15 dollars they were promised.

Will our hero defeat the corrupt Wardens and free the inmates who are also probably in for violent crimes?

The only things we fear in this world are giant monsters and math equations, which means we’re trembling at today’s topic: Godzilla Minus One! After a close encounter with the legendary beast, World War 2 pilot Koichi Shikishima must face both a radioactively evolved Godzilla and his own post-war survivors guilt. This latest entry in the franchise takes us back to Godzilla’s 1950’s roots as a humble metaphor for nuclear deterrence and anti-war sentiments.

But Americans don’t care about that! When does he go to Hollow Earth and shoot the laser beam at the giant apes? Where’s Millie Bobby Brown?? Where’s Shimo??!!!!

What “Die Hard” did for high-rises, “Under Siege” does for battleships in this high seas action-thriller starring Steven Seagal in his best film to date from 1992. Chief petty officer and bouillabaisse expert Casey Ryback is all that stands in the way of thwarting the mutiny aboard the USS Missouri, led by William Strannix and Commander Krill. Ryback must assemble his ragtag group of friends and Woman in order to stop Strannix’s nuclear-fueled revenge.

Given what the future held for Mr. Seagal, it seems the only thing really Under Siege was his film career!

It turns out the scariest part of the dystopian future in Terry Gilliam's “Brazil” isn’t the bureaucratic capitalist police state it presents, but the lack of duct and tube management! Lowly government worker Sam Lowry dreams of a brighter future in his dead-end life when he encounters a woman named Jill, whom he keeps seeing in his dreams. Famously, the film does not take place in Brazil itself.

Not since “Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter” has a title been this misleading. This is: The BRACcast!
