Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse spoiler-free movie review! Miles Morales came onto the cinematic Spiderman scene in 2018 in Into the Spiderverse, well he and his incredibly unique and out of this world cast of other Spider-people are back and better than ever! Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is one of the most anticipated theatrical releases of the year, but can it live up to the hype of the 2018 Oscar winner!? Can it possible go bigger in story, writing, animation, and world building that it's absolutely incredible web-slinging predecessor!?  Find out as we give you a spoiler-free review of the newest, craziest, wildest Spider-Man movie! Best Spidey film ever!? Best villain ever!? We debate, get in here!  Also, Spider-Punk, enough said. 

What's your favorite scary movie!? I can tell you some of my favorite horror talent in the genre film space, and that list would absolutely include nearly every person involved in the making of The Boogeyman (2023)!  Directed by Rob Savage, giver of the amazing pandemic film Host (2020) filmed entirely via Zoom, and then writers Scott Beck, Bryan Woods, and Mark Heyman, the first two of which gave us A Quiet Place, and one of my favorite recent horror movies- Haunt (2019)! Oh, and the source material is a Stephen King short story, ever heard of him?  So does The Boogeyman carry the PG-13 can be horrifying torch of Insidious and The Grudge, or does it fall short in the confines of those MPAA restrictions?  Listen to our spoiler free review of The Boogeyman and find out! I will say this, some of the most unique perspectives, directorial speaking, on lighting I have ever seen. Some of the most creative lit scenes I have ever witnessed in a film reside inside The Boogeyman. Now check under your bed, BOO, it's our podcast! Forgive me.  

Who loves cinema? Who doesn't love that Golden Age of Hollywood and all of the incredible pictures that reside there!?  Well we are bringing you a film from the height of old school Hollywood, a motion picture that captured the heart of a world fraught in fear and in search of hope. When art becomes something more, well, we love that. Introduce... Casablanca (1942)! 

'Of all the gin joins in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine.' Well consider our podcast a gin joint in northern Africa, the French controlled area of Morocco, Casablanca! We strive to be as cool as Rick's Cafe Americain here on our movie podcast, but alas we know we'll always fall short. But we'll always have Paris. Okay, I'll stop, for now. But there is a reason Casablanca has been apart of the American cinematic zeitgeist since it hit theaters back in 1942, it simply doesn't miss. From the incredible writing, to the seemingly modern-day pacing, to the mixing of genres such as noir, German expressionism, romance, to the absolutely captivating setting, and not to mention the unbelievable heart and punch this movie manages to pack- Casablanca is a masterpiece, so please come with us to Morocco and find out what makes it so. 

From Humphrey Bogart playing America, I mean Rick Blaine, to the deliriously talented cast of Ingrid Bergman, Paul Henreid, Claude rains, Conrad Vedit, and the amazing Peter Lorre- there is a reason this movie is incredibly quotable, and it isn't just the fantastic writing, it is the beautiful way in which the dialogue oozes the exposition in such a charming manner that before you know it you're right there at Rick's boozin' with the cast! And the behind the scenes of Casablanca add to its marvel and intrigue, starting with Hungarian director Michael Curtiz and a cast of actors that actually escaped Nazi Germany playing the Nazis! Casablanca was shot on the precipice of the entire globe coming to a potential halt, and with evil on its heels. From what was thought to be locked into the past within the Great War comes evil once more- the world needed hope. Casablanca.
