The Beast Is a COD Mission With Samuel Jackson Welded Into It

Taylor Holmes — Thu, 15 Oct 2026 12:09:59 +0000

This was our Guy Movie Night pick for October, and I want to be upfront that it was picked in a month that also had Digger and The Social Reckoning on the table. One of those is a genuinely ambitious, extraordinarily overstuffed meditation on catharsis and climate guilt that happened to flop spectacularly at the box office. The other is a gorgeously written, five years too late lecture about an algorithm we already understood. And then there’s The Beast, which […]

Was The Movie The Weight Historically Accurate

Taylor Holmes — Thu, 01 Oct 2026 13:33:11 +0000

Was The Movie The Weight Historically Accurate. Okay so I need to talk about The Weight because I went into it wanting a historical action movie in the vein of Lawless or The Untouchables and came out having gotten exactly that, just filtered through a completely different lense. BUT WAS IT ACCURATE? There were so many important historical details that needed to come together in order to make this plot even necessary!! But, were they on point? Secondly, was the […]

Redux Redux Might Be the Best Multiverse Movie Nobody Has Seen

Taylor Holmes — Sat, 26 Sep 2026 15:20:12 +0000

I need to lead with this. Everyone needs to be watching Redux Redux. Not “you might like this one,” not “worth a watch if you’re into the genre,” everyone. I loved absolutely everything about this movie, and I’ve been sitting here trying to figure out how to convey that without just repeating the word “loved” fifteen times, so let me try it this way instead. The closest thing I’ve seen to Redux Redux is the movie Coherence. If you’ve read […]

The Time Traveling Complications of Mike and Nick and Nick and Alice Explained

Taylor Holmes — Sun, 20 Sep 2026 15:57:08 +0000

Is this movie worth your time? I actually think the question is irrelevant, mainly because I’m guessing you’ve already seen it. I’m guessing you are here because you were hoping for a little explanation of what it is that you just watched. No? Sure, there were some funny laughs sprinkled in here. And a really really long complicated diatribe about The Gilmore Girls. But by and large, I’m guessing the reason that you are here is simply to understand what […]

Let Me Explain Why Coyote vs Acme Is Secretly a Nietzschean Essay

Taylor Holmes — Sat, 19 Sep 2026 16:01:18 +0000

Fair warning up front, this is not going to read like my normal reviews. I watched Coyote vs. Acme and something about it wouldn’t let go. So I thought about it. And I thought about it… and I decided what I was going to actually do was a full philosophical deep dive, using a Looney Tunes courtroom comedy as the on ramp into Nietzsche, of all people, and this search for meaning inside a life that keeps handing you the […]

The Whisper Man Ending Explained: Who Is the Whisper Man?

Taylor Holmes — Sat, 19 Sep 2026 03:59:52 +0000

If you are looking for a movie where Robert De Niro and Michael Keaton spend a bunch of time staring each other down across a table while discussing a serial killer who whispers to children before abducting them… I mean… come on. WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?!? This is one of the darkest, and most brilliantly plotted and dark downward spirals I’ve seen in a long time… and I can’t recommend it highly enough. The Whisper Man is the new […]

The Dog Stars Is Basically a Post Apocalyptic Colorado Ambiance Video

Taylor Holmes — Wed, 09 Sep 2026 04:52:27 +0000

Okay so I need to talk about The Dog Stars… Ridley Scott’s new one with Jacob Elordi and Josh Brolin… because I watched it expecting a fairly standard post apocalyptic survival thing and walked away just completely charmed in a way I did not see coming. Here’s my spoiler free pitch. It’s 2035, a flu pandemic wiped out most of the world, and Jacob Elordi’s character Hig is living out at an abandoned airfield in Erie, Colorado with his dog […]

Lucky Apple TV Show Explained Episode by Episode

Taylor Holmes — Sat, 05 Sep 2026 04:48:53 +0000

Before we get into the episode by episode walk through – I want to be SUPER CRYSTAL CLEAR HERE… you really don’t want to spoil this show. Go, get an Apple TV account, just for this show. It’s worth it. (Then watch the new Ted Lasso season, and Slow Horses, and Dark Matter, and of course Severance – which is filming a new season right now… you get the idea. This isn’t an ad, I’m just telling you, Lucky is […]

I Want To Know Who Green-Lit The Runner

Taylor Holmes — Fri, 04 Sep 2026 19:58:34 +0000

Okay so I need to get this out of my system immediately because I am still vibrating with rage. The Runner, the new Gal Gadot thing on Prime Video, is one of the most baffling pieces of studio filmmaking I have sat through this year, and not in a fun way, in a “who approved this script” way. It currently sits at 9% on Rotten Tomatoes, and honestly I think that’s generous. Brian Tallerico at RogerEbert.com called it “one of […]
