Kevin Hart, Questlove & iHeart Podcasts
When a podcast network is involved with hundreds of podcasts, not all of them can be winners. After all, some shows are developed because the person is well-known and that notoriety should attract listeners even if the podcasts stink. Some podcasts pander incessantly to their target audience, while others artificially manufacture controversy for attention -- most sports podcasts.

In the year 2000, the British studio Aardman Animation made their cinematic debut with Chicken Run, bringing the art of claymation to the masses with a witty and endlessly entertaining release.

It didn’t surprise me that Netflix made their own reality TV show based on Squid Game. Some people have already made their own version like MrBeast from YouTube. I have yet to see MrBeast’s version on YouTube, but I would like to and see how it compares to the Netflix reality show and the original.

Ya know how sometimes you see a trailer for a movie and you think to yourself, “wow this is going to be terrible, I can’t wait to see it”? Well that was my exact thought process when I saw the trailer for 65 starring Adam Driver. We never got around to seeing it in the theaters but now that it's on Netflix we are finally diving in. Doing any dinosaur movie after the existence of Jurassic Park is super bold but here we go, my review of 65.

The Boy and the Heron
Ever since watching My Neighbor Totoro with my husband I have been in love with Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli movies. When we heard that Miyazaki would be coming out with (yet another) final movie we both got very excited. The Boy and the Heron is a truly horrendous title for this movie but other than that it feels like the ultimate culmination of Miyazaki’s career and legacy.
Alexandrea CallaghanPublished 4 months ago in Geeks The Downfall of the MCU
There has been lots of comments since the MCU released Endgame about Marvel no longer producing anything of quality. Phrases like “superhero fatigue” “go woke, go broke” and “quantity over quality” get thrown around a lot and they are all wrong. Those phrases have actually no actual validity to them whatsoever. The MCU is the same as it's always been, very little has changed.
Alexandrea CallaghanPublished 4 months ago in GeeksInfinity Pool
There is a history of horror movies getting undervalued by awards season. Last year one in particular that drew attention was Mia Goth and her performance in Pearl. The movie as a whole was absolutely snubbed as its quality could most definitely go toe to toe with anything nominated last year. But we will have a more in depth discussion on that later. Pearl won me over and I will now watch anything that stars Mia Goth. Which brings me to Infinity Pool. I am now presenting my formal review for Mia Goth’s latest appearance, Infinity Pool.

Is Albert Alaar to blame? Soap fans let's talk about the elephant in the room. Days of Our Lives on Peacock did not have one win during the 2023 Daytime Emmy Awards show. People and other news outlets have listed the winners and if you were watching Friday night you already know. The question is whether or not ousted producer Albert Alaar had anything to do with the disappointing setback.

So we went to see Godzilla Minus One. Now this was my first Godzilla movie ever, I was going in with absolutely no context or history. I went into this movie the same way I’m sure a lot of Americans did, ready for a monster movie. The trailer also kind of hyped up that angle. So I went in ready to watch Godzilla tear some shit up. What I was not ready for was a heartfelt story about a man finding the will to live, commentary on survivor's guilt and the devastations of war and the power of forgiveness.
