    Dec 12 2023

    Gareth Edwards "The Creator" is now out on blu-ray and it's a swell movie, one with a great lead performance and some excellent visuals.  It is truly smart in the way a lot of it is put together.  It doesn't make a difference, we're still going to create AI that kills us all.

  • Meanderings #315: Questioning "Oppenheimer" and the Father of the Age
    Dec 5 2023

    Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer" is a brilliant movie.  It is a movie that we love.  It is a movie filled with excellence.  It also has this one thing about it that we simply do not understand, and we've tried.  We have really and truly tried.  Take a listen and tell us if we're viewing it wrong.

  • Meanderings #311: Following Where the "Strays" Lead
    Oct 17 2023

    "Strays" is one of those movies where you're going to know well in advance if you're going to enjoy it.  All you have to do is ask yourself one question:  do you want to see dogs get high and tell sex jokes?  If the answer is yes, "Strays" is the movie for you.  If not... it's best you steer clear.
