All Pop, No Culture

It's just Kevin and Andrew this week and they keep this one tight, just covering episodes 8 and 9 of Severance and Kraven the Hunter. This episode opens up with Kraven the Hunter. The guys have a pretty hot take on this one... it's not THAT bad!! Both guys argue that this could actually be the best Sony Villainverse film, though that is a pretty low bar at this point. Yes, it's not a perfect film and has a slew of issues, but if you go in with low expectations, you could come out pretty happy. Next up the guys talk the latest in Severance. Do they have any answers? Nope! Do they have any...

All Pop, No Culture

It's a tight episode, content-wise with just Black Doves, Severance and Reservation Dogs officially on the docket, but we are joined this week, once again, by Salony, so you know there's a touch of class in this one! The show kicks off with Andrew peer pressuring Salony into talking about Black Doves on Netflix. It's a solid modern spy show, led by the excellent Kiera Knightley, and lacking the campiness that a lot of modern spy shows do. It's a cool take, with Kiera's character dealing with a little of that work/life balance we all hear about. Go check it out! After that, the show kicks into...

More Episodes

Kevin and Lauren are back this week with reviews of Transformers One, Twisters, Rebel Ridge, Avatar: The Way of Water, and Mother of the Bride.

Lauren kicks off the show with a trip to the theater to see Twisters. It's not really a remake or a sequel, but it is about Glenn Powell, Daisy Edgar Jones, and Anthony Ramos chasing tornadoes, so it's not a bad thing! Overall it's a great summer watch with an engaging story and, of course the acting is solid. Give it a watch!

Next up, Kevin takes us to his old familiar haunt at Netflix. Rebel Ridge, starring Aaron Pierre just dropped a few days ago and it's a great action flick. Pierre is a star on the rise after this one. The action is solid and displays a very unique "no kill" rule. The bits between that action are filled with excellent drama and this one is worth the time, for sure.

We hop in our wayback machine next (ok, not that FAR back), as Lauren gives her review of Avatar: The Way of Water. In the best of ways, this is more of the same from the Avatar universe. the story is compelling, the acting is great, and the visuals are incredible. This one can currently ne found on Disney Plus.

In a rare occurrence, Kevin had the opportunity to sneak peak a movie before it was released. He and his boys got ticket to Transformers One and this might just be the best Transformers film to date. The OG may win for nostalgia purposes, but this is an excellent story about the friendship and falling out of the two mining robots who would become Optimus Prime and Megatron. While this story is more told from Orion Pax's point of view, they standout character progression is the story of the breakdown of D16 to Megatron. Get your tickets now and see it opening weekend!

In what might be one of the funniest reviews in a very long time, Lauren discusses Mother of the Bride on Netflix. This review may cost us the Netflix sponsorship we were never going to get. Lauren absolutely did not enjoy this film and you can feel it the whole review and it's so much fun! The review... not the movie.
