Is 'The Odyssey' an Early Best Picture Favorite?

'The Invite': Hilariously Uncomfortable
On this week’s episode, we discuss Netflix’s declining engagement stats. Should the streaming giant panic?

(Almost.) And if you have thoughts about Sam Neill, head over to the chat and share them!

The 'Minions' Go to 'Babylon'
On this week’s episode, we discuss Seth Rogen’s slanderous take on Sylvester Stallone and his thoughts on criticism more broadly. Then we reviewed Minions and Monsters, which is basically “Babylon with less cocaine and more little yellow guys.” Swing by our Substack on Thursday for a bonus episode on the silent era’s best movies for kids. And if you enjoyed this, please share it with a friend!

'Supergirl,' a Super-Disaster

'Toy Story 5' Asks Why We Need to Play
On this week’s episode, we discuss the startling news that Amazon-MGM has decided to bail on distributing Luca Guadagnino’s forthcoming film about Sam Altman and OpenAI. Is this simply a matter of reconciling conflicts of interest, or is something more dastardly involved? Then they review Toy Story 5: The One With Screens. Does it live up to its predecessors? Or is it something to be half-watched on a tablet while folding socks? Make sure to swing by Bulwark+ on Thursday for our special bonus episode on the best animated featuers of the 21st century. And if you enjoyed this episode, please share it with a friend!

The Disappointment of 'Disclosure Day'
On this week’s episode, Sonny, Peter, and Alyssa debate the ethics of writing bogus reviews to scam the futures markets. Then they review Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day, which is kind of a mess. Make sure to watch Widow’s Bay; we’re going to be discussing it for a special bonus TV episode later in the week! And we’ll have a bonus episode in which we determine the greatest Spielberg run. So much content for you! Yell at us in the comments if we were too mean to Disclosure Day, we might have been. We’re mean because we love Steven Spielberg so much and this was a big miss!

'Masters of the Universe': Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Fisto
A programming note: As mentioned in this episode, we are going to add a monthly bonus episode for paid members dedicated to TV shows. First up: Widow’s Bay, which wraps up its first season June 17. We’ll talk the whole first season of Apple TV’s buzzy new show for an episode that should post that weekend (the 20th or 21st), depending on our own schedules! As for this week’s episode: We discussed Dan Lin’s plans for Netflix on the heels of his statement to the New York Times that Netflix is out of the theatrical game and then reviewed Masters of the Universe, a movie that has no reason to exist and seems to kind of resent its own existence. Weird place for a movie to be, tbh. If you have a good spot for another Fisto joke, leave it in the comments!
