The Boogeyman returns, sort of, in the latest entry into the John Wick universe: From the World of John Wick: Ballerina. We review this film, talk about the John Wick franchise, and explore if Ballerina gives enough juice to continue to make John Wick movies with minimal John Wick.

We then review and discuss the latest original Shudder horror picture, The Ugly Stepsister (2025). A gruesome take on a familiar tale, does it live up to the hype!? Find out!

Next up, one of the greatest movies ever put to screen, Billy Wilder's The Apartment (1960). We do a deep dive into this amazing and always prescient film, and discuss what makes this movie so incredible and how it can still feel so contemporary. Jack Lemmon, Shirley MacLaine, Fred MacMurray and crew create a truly lived-in depiction of life in 1959 in the city, the tension of climbing the corporate ladder but selling your soul, and lonely hearts on Christmas. This movie has it all, jump in our discussion and let's talk about why.

Please consider leaving us a 5-star review, I hope we earned it. And remember, we watch WAY MORE MOVIES than you! See ya people!

Tom Cruise returns.. for the last time? We review Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning! We also discuss the scene stealer and true star, Severance's Tramell Tillman + all of the other stars that fill America's answer to James Bond throughout the Mission Impossible films going all the way back to the goat- Brian De Palma's Mission Impossible (1996).

What works, what doesn't, and is this truly the end of one of the greatest action film franchises in cinematic history!? Let's talk about it.

Do we have an unforgettable end of a saga in a tremendous action film package, or do we have enormous highs in incredible set pieces and death-defying stunts but band-aided together with plot and exposition? Let us know what you think in a 5-star review please!

Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is go watch this on IMAX and come back and join in our conversation about the bookend to the Mission Impossible franchise!
