The greatest superhero show in the universe has returned! Invincible is back on Prime Video and has now wrapped up with its 3rd - and, possibly, craziest - season yet. I have loved this show since season 1 and then diving deep into the original comic book series by Robert Kirkman, almost four years ago now. Season 3 finally kicked off some of the long-running storylines that will likely continue through to the series's end, introducing Oliver as a main character and delving into the beginning of Nolan's redemption (... or is it?). This review will include SPOILERS for this season but I will refrain from talking about the future storylines the show will explore, based off the original comic book series. Enjoy!

OSCAR winning director Bong Joon Ho has finally returned with his next film - a book adaptation - Mickey 17 from Warner Bros. Pictures. This was easily one of my most anticipated films of the year because Parasite is easily one of the best Best Picture winners of the last decade and it made history by being the first International film to ever win Best Picture. Mickey 17 looked like a complete blast from the trailers but I also immediately knew this movie would be dead on arrival in cinemas because the marketing was just a little too gonzo for general audiences. Early buzz for the film was strong so I went in hyped. Is Mickey 17 on the level of Parasite? Find out in this review!

After six and a half years, Daredevil has finally returned to screens! That's right, Daredevil: Born Again has finally premiered on Disney+! It has been a long and tumultuous road getting to the moment of finally getting this show. From the highly publicized creative overhaul to the incredibly naive & silly comments made by the show runner just a few weeks back, this show hasn't exactly had an easy road getting to our screens. For those of you who are unaware, the Netflix Daredevil series might be my single favorite show of all-time; it's CERTAINLY my favorite comic book show ever and that will likely never be topped. Daredevil himself has always been one of my top three favorite Marvel Comics characters and Charlie Cox's iteration of the character is a better version than I'd ever imagined we could get onscreen. It just feels right for this show to continue, but Marvel Studios & Disney+'s track record hasn't been great, especially of late. Are the first 2 episodes of Daredevil: Born Again AS GOOD as the original show? Find out in this SPOILER review!

Hello, everybody! Welcome back to MOVIE Morning where, today, we'll be discussing the 2025 Best Picture nominees! More specifically, I'll be ranking them based off my preferences, NOT by how likely they are/were to win Best Picture at the OSCARS this year. This is always a really interesting ranking because these films are supposed to be the best of the year, but they rarely represent that for me personally. At the same time, there are very few Best Picture nominees that I actually dislike. So, how do I rank this year's Best Picture nominees? Find out in this episode! Make sure to let me know which one is your favorite on the Spotify Polls!

The time is almost here. The 97th Academy Awards are days away so, as always, it’s time to give you my official winner predictions for the categories, all of them in fact. I believe I’ve missed the last couple of years but this year, I’ve definitely seen more of these films than ever so it’s going to be an interesting episode. I’m not only going to be providing my predictions, but also who I think SHOULD win in each category, which is, unfortunately, more often than not completely different from who I think WILL win. Who’s getting Best Picture this year? Will Sean Baker finally get some OSCARS love or is Conclave sweeping in late? Find out my thoughts on everything OSCARS-related in this predictions episode. Enjoy!

So, the first season of the latest Spider-Man animated series - Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man - has now wrapped up on Disney+. I was shocked by how much I enjoyed the first 2 episodes and have been eagerly awaiting each set of episodes every week.

Continue on if you've seen the show and want to hear a lifelong Spider-Man fan give you his very surprised thoughts on YFNSM - season 1!

The Gorge - the latest film from Doctor Strange and Sinister director Scott Derrickson - has landed on Apple TV+. Welcome back to MOVIE Morning for another review and this time, we'll be talking about a streaming movie; I feel like it's been a while. I think Scott Derrickson is a very talented director: I'm, of course, a huge fan of Doctor Strange and Sinister, but also of the fantastic The Black Phone and the very underrated The Exorcism of Emily Rose. The Gorge, though, hasn't looked great from the previews and I really can't bring myself to get excited for streaming movies nowadays, unless they're titled Knives Out and directed by one of the all-time greatest filmmakers. Is The Gorge a solid thriller for Valentine's Day weekend, or is this one a pass like most streaming films? Find out in this review!

The first MCU movie of the year - Captain America: Brave New World - is now out in theaters. Honestly, I've been shockingly not excited for this movie. As much as I love Sam Wilson and I did enjoy Falcon and Winter Soldier more than most people, the behind the scenes drama on this movie and the creative team announced just kept killing my excitement as we got closer to release. I've liked the tone of the trailers but all we heard from behind the curtains weren't spelling good news for this movie at all. Of course though, I went in really wanting this movie to be good; the only reason this podcast even came to be in the first place is because of my love for the MCU and Steve Rogers has always been my favorite character in the franchise. The movie has now released worldwide. Does Captain America: Brave New World continue a winning streak for Marvel after Deadpool & Wolverine... or are we going to have to wait for Thunderbolts and Fantastic Four (two MCU movies I AM excited about) to get the good stuff? Find out in this NON-SPOILER review!

Well, here we are. The final five episodes of Cobra Kai have finally arrived. Needless to say - if you've seen my reviews - I have been endlessly frustrated with Cobra Kai - Season 6 so far. In every way, the last ten episodes have been a bridge too far for me, even for a show as silly as Cobra Kai. More importantly, most of the show's plot lines (if not, all) were wrapped up by the end of season 5. All that's left is a bunch of dumb karate and stupid teenage melodrama. All that being said, I've still been hopeful for the final few episodes of the show because of how much I enjoyed so much of this show and how much they've made me love these characters. And of course, seeing the wrap up of a 40-year arc between Johnny Lawrence and Daniel LaRusso is going to be emotional. Did the final few episodes deliver and is it a worthy end to an unforgettable chapter in the Karate Kid saga? Well, let's discuss it in full detail!

Super Bowl weekend has now come and gone, and for all of us non-sports watchers, it's TYPICALLY a weekend of an abundance of trailer/teaser drops for movies. Anyone who was online yesterday very quickly learned that it was going to be a largely quiet year on the trailer front.Don't even get me started on the whole Superman Puppy Bowl debacle. But, the one new major trailer we did get was the new trailer for Marvel Studios' upcoming May release: Thunderbolts*. this is now the film's third trailer but I actually hadn't covered either of the previous trailers, for whatever reason.Because of this (and how much this trailer blew me away), I decided I'd give you my (hopefully) quick reaction to this Big Game Trailer. Enjoy!

I'm over a month late... but it's finally time to count down my top 10 favorite films of 2024, with quite a few honorable mentions. This is by far the most new release films I've ever watched in one year, and it's largely due to me attending college in the U.K. and having way more access to many more films, particularly awards films. I spent an extra month trying to make my coverage of 2024 films more robust and watching some of the other 2024 movies that people are really excited about. Yet, I've still missed quite a few big ones but I felt it was time to finally throw in the towel and do this list. So, continue on to the episode to find out MY top 10 favorite movies of 2024!

OSCAR-winning actor Ke Huy Quan, originally of Temple of Doom and Goonies fame, has made an epic Hollywood comeback over the last few years. Now, he’s leading his very own movies. Love Hurts is the latest production under 87 North, the same people behind the original John Wick, Violent Night and Nobody. It’s also being directed by a stuntman and Quan himself, during his near 4-decade absence from the silver screen, worked sometimes as a stuntman. I’m just so happy for him and most of my excitement for this one comes from seeing him be put fully into the spotlight. Is Love Hurts a must-see action film in theater? Find out in this review!

The dinosaurs are back! The first trailer for Jurassic World Rebirth - the seventh installment of the Jurassic franchise - has finally hit theaters .This movie had a FAST road to production, with Jurassic World Dominion only coming out three years ago and this movie only being announced about 18 months ago. For context, the time gap between Fallen Kingdom and Dominion was FOUR years. The first Jurassic Park is a top 15 movie of all-time for me... but this franchise has basically now disappointed me five straight times. I don't think Lost World is horrible and I have some fun with the first Jurassic World but the pairing of David Koepp and Gareth Edwards has always given me some hope for this entry. I've liked all of Edwards' movies but haven't quite loved ay of them, but he's certainly the kind of director who can inject some worthy visuals back into this franchise and bring the thrills. The question has been: are the characters and story going to live up to the visuals though? Those areas have been my issue with all of his films so far, but with Koepp on board, I've had some hope. Also, because this movie shot large chunks in Thailand, I'm immediately going to be pumped to see it. Does the trailer give the impression that this is going to be the best movie in the franchise since the original? Find out in this initial reaction!

It's finally time! The first trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps (fittingly releasing on February 4) has, at long last, arrived online. This has been one of my most anticipated films for my whole life. I love these character so much and they have NEVER been done justice on the big screen. The fact that I live in a world where people think characters like the F4 and Superman are boring is insane to me... but all that changes come July. Did this first trailer for Fantastic Four get me as excited as that recent Superman trailer or do I not like the direction they're taking to introduce Marvel's First Family to the MCU? Find out in this initial reaction!

Companion - a horror film "from the producers of The Notebook and Barbarian" (one of the greatest taglines I've ever heard) - has released in theaters worldwide. This was a movie I had very little interest in until seeing that very mysterious first trailer and seeing the reviews that have been coming out from critics over the past 2 months, which have been GLOWING. I had the chance to see the film just recently but the question is: will this movie start a glorious revival of the all too dead horror-comedy? Is it as amazing and as shocking as Barbarian? Find out in this review!

Hey everyone, the first 2 episodes of Disney+'s Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man have dropped. This show has a bizarro release schedule and will only be on for the next 3 weeks, despite having 10 episodes. Episodes 3-5 and episodes 6-8 will be grouped together for the next 2 weeks respectively, and then the final 2 episodes will premiere on February 19. This is a show that I was hyped(!) about when they first announced it as a prequel show to Tom Holland's MCU iteration of the character. However, that announcement was over four years ago and since then, this show has clearly undergone a slew of changes. The show that was instead announced later was a What If...? style-show of Norman Osborn (voiced by the great Colman Domingo) mentoring Peter instead of Tony Stark. Since then, my excitement has been fading for this show and that trailer did NOT help. All that being said, the reactions to the WHOLE season definitely sparked my curiosity. How were the first 2 episodes? Find out in this NON-SPOILER review!

Hey everybody, the latest January dumpster fire (but this time directed by OSCAR-winner Mel Gibson) - Flight Risk - has hit theaters. My main point of curiosity with regards to this movie has been wondering why Mel Gibson, for his next directorial feature, would tackle a B-rate action film like Flight Risk, assuming it isn’t because it’s the only movie he could get because of all the shenanigans. The trailers looked awful and to be honest, I was actually really looking forward to Steven Soderbergh’s new film Presence this weekend instead. But alas, the showtimes didn’t align with my schedule today so instead, I checked out Flight Risk. It’s just as bad as I expected. Listen on to find out why!
Flight Risk:

Hey everyone, The Brutalist - the acclaimed, now 10x OSCAR nominee film - has now released in theaters nationwide in the U.S. and in UK theaters this weekend. This film premiered over 4 months ago now so, typically, I wouldn’t feel much inclination to review it, especially since this film is certainly making my top 10 movies of 2024 list, which releases next week on this very show. The timing of the release as well as the plethora of OSCAR nominations it just received compelled me to put out a review though. So, here we go. Is The Brutalist deserving of its 10 Academy Award nominations and all the insane hype since Venice? Find out in this review!
The Brutalist:

Hey everyone, Skeleton Crew just wrapped up its 8-episode run on Disney+ last week. My understanding is that the show was originally pitched as a limited series but pending the full viewership numbers, a potential season 2 is being discussed. In the meantime, I'll leave the title of this review to 'Season 1 Review'. I reviewed the first 2 episodes back in December and LUCKILY, this show has been the gift which keeps on giving. Proceed to find out why I think Skeleton Crew is easily the best Star Wars we've gotten since Andor and one of their strongest Disney+ shows to date, even if it's definitely aimed more towards kids!

The day has finally arrived: the first trailer for Marvel Television's Daredevil: Born Again has finally landed online. This show has endured tumultuous behind the scenes developments, namely a complete creative overhaul halfway through production of its initial plan for an 18-episode season. As wasn't the plan initially, Born Again is now set to take place in the continuity of the original Netflix series, which is now canon to the MCU's Sacred Timeline. Furthermore, Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson and Jon Bernthal are now returning to reprise their iconic supporting roles in the show, alongside Vincent D'Onofrio as Kingpin and Charlie Cox as Daredevil. THANK GOD for that, because Daredevil is, I believe, unquestionably the single GREATEST superhero show of all-time. I have been very excited to see this show, which was unfairly cancelled too early initially, finally continue with these amazing characters once again. That being said, the behind the scenes madness has hindered how confident I am going into this show. Does the trailer confirm that Marvel really made attempts to return to the vibe and story of that original show? Find out in this initial reaction to the trailer.
