Criticless Cast Unhinged

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (& a man hugging a rat in the dark)

action, adventure, angela bassett, black panther, danai gurira, dominique thorne, drama, letitia wright, lupita nyong'o, martin freeman, marvel, mcu, ryan coogler, tenoch huerta, winston duke

If you have been a long-time listener, then you will know Blaine's extreme dislike for the first Black Panther movie so at the very least this will be a pretty interesting one! It's now been 4 years sense the first film, the public is losing faith in the MCU, and on top of it all we have a new-ish actor in the role of Black Panther. Can director Ryan Coogler bring the MCU back to life or is he going to drive the wedge deeper with the die hard fans in favor of critics and the Twitter Twats?

Joseph Kosinski is teaming back up with the holy lord of Scientology, Tom Cruse! He might be as crazy as a bed bug but love him or hate him you can't deny the man's on screen charisma and dedication. First they gave us the interesting scifi flick Oblivion and now we are getting a sequel to one of the most highly praised movies of the 80's, Top Gun! Is it too little too late or is the need for speed undeniable regardless of a 36 year wait!?

The Northman (& the big toe comparison)

action, adventure, alexander skarsgård, anya taylor-joy, claes bang, drama, ethan hawke, nicole kidman, robert eggers, the northman, willem dafoe

This mothers day you get a mega macho movie review, your welcome! Indie director Robert Eggers just hit theatres with The Northman; his third film, and this time he's going all out with a bigger budget, action, Viking period piece. We reviewed his last film which had very mixed opinions so the questions is, does a more main stream approach have a more wide appeal for audiences?

action, andy serkis, barry keoghan, colin farrell, crime, drama, jeffrey wright, john turturro, matt reeves, paul dano, peter sarsgaard, robert pattinson, the batman, zoë kravitz

The wait is finally over... for this episode to drop that is, not for Robert Pattinson's new interpretation of Batman that we have all been waiting an insane amount of time see! The real question is, can he the top The Batt-fleck? Spoiler: we don't officially answer that this episode. GOTCHA!

bradley cooper, cate blanchett, crime, drama, guillermo del toro, kim morgan, richard jenkins, ron perlman, rooney mara, thriller, tim blake nelson, toni collette, willem dafoe

Holy crap, Guillermo del Toro has a new movie out! It's called Nightmare Alley and it's actually a remake of a movie you've also never heard of. Have you even seen any ads for this thing? We sure have not, any why, do we blame Spider-Man? Either way, one must ask themselves, can anything ever top Pacific Rim?... the answer is obviously always going to be no, nothing is better than Pacific Rim!

Eternals (& celestial sphincters)

November 10th, 2021  |  Season 2  |  2 hrs 8 mins

action, adventure, angelina jolie, barry keoghan, bill skarsgård, brian tyree henry, chloé zhao, drama, gemma chan, harish patel, kit harington, kumail nanjiani, lauren ridloff, lia mchugh, ma dong-seok, richard madden, salma hayek

Marvel Studios wild card of the year has finally hit with the release of Eternals and it is about as far from one of their typical outings as possible... what will three Marvel junkies think about this bold decision and will they agree with everyone else?

November 4th, 2021  |  Season 2  |  1 hr 27 mins

anya taylor-joy, drama, edgar wright, horror, matt smith, michael ajao, mystery, thomasin mckenzie, thriller

Director Edgar Wright is back with his new film Last Night in Soho and he made sure to mix things up quite a bit from the films we have come to love him for the most. This thriller/ horror/drama flick is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat after Wright takes his time introducing you to his vison of London of the 60's and today. The big question here is if the critics and audiences all think this new tonal change suits Wright's style?

Dune (& Barbie on drugs)

action, adventure, dave bautista, denis villeneuve, drama, jason momoa, javier bardem, josh brolin, oscar isaac, rebecca ferguson, stellan skarsgård, timothée chalamet, zendaya

The mega budget remake/adaptation of Frank Herbert's extremely popular book series Dune has finally dropped after years of waiting and it's time to see if its able to live up to the hype! If your asking should you see it in theatres or at home on HBOMax?... at the very least this is one is a simple answer, get off your ass and out of the flippin house to check this one out!

No TimeTo Die (& Pierce Bros Man)

October 17th, 2021  |  Season 2  |  1 hr 59 mins

action, adventure, ben whishaw, billy magnussen, cary joji fukunaga, christoph waltz, daniel craig, drama, jeffrey wright, lashana lynch, léa seydoux, ralph fiennes, rami malek, thriller

It's finally time to say goodbye to Daniel Craig's James Bond, the longest running Bond in film history, and we really need to ask ourselves a few questions... like, did we really need this movie? Is this incarnation of Bond even Bond? and did this movie actually get postponed so long due to extremely controversial subject matter and obvious predictive programing? We discuss it all this week on the Aroused pod. Also, is everyone just plain wrong about this movie?
