The Reel Pineapple

Joshua Hunter blasts off into The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Illumination and Nintendo's follow-up to their 2023 blockbuster — and this time, Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad head into space to rescue a kidnapped Rosalina from Bowser Jr. 2026's first billion-dollar movie and the year's biggest sequel debut, but critics weren't nearly as impressed, with plenty calling out a thin story buried under nonstop galaxy-hopping spectacle. Joshua digs into whether the film's visuals and new characters (hello, Donald Glover's Yoshi and Glen Powell's Fox McCloud) make up for a script that critics say coasts on fan service.

Josh Duhamel directs and stars in Preschool, playing a dad locked in an increasingly unhinged rivalry with Michael Socha over the last spot at London's most exclusive preschool. Joshua breaks down whether the escalating chaos earns its laughs, how Duhamel handles double duty behind and in front of the camera, and if the film's message gets lost under the slapstick.

Tom Holland officially has done what no actor playing Peter Parker has done before him, gotten to a fourth film; and is it possible that this is his best outing?

Tom Holland returns for his seventh time playing the web-crawler, who is fighting an enemy that he can't see; but that may not be the only villain they're fighting(hmmmmm?).

Continuing coverage of LGBTQIA+ films for Pride Month, we have an absolutely banger(and probably a film that you completely missed), in 2023's. Femme.

Starring Nathan Stewart-Jarrett(Culprits, Azrael) & George MacKay(1917, Captain Fantastic) as Jules and Preston. Jules does drag as her alter ego Aphrodite. When a confrontation between the two turns violent, Jules is completely left with PTSD & a thirst for revenge.

Joined by special guest Alex, check out our review of Femme!

Don't you hate when you get too drunk, and sleep with your best friends twenty something daughter, and it ruins your friendship? A tale as old as time.

Nicola Walker(The Split, Annika) and Jemaine Clement(Flight of the Concords, What We Do in the Shadows) star as Alice and Steve respectively, where after Steve makes a very not smart decision and how the relationship between him and Alice deteriorates at an alarming rate; to the point that you wonder either of them will make it out alive.

 

How is this six episode miniseries? Check out my review for Alice & Steve!

Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega have integrity, or maybe they knew how bad this script could potentially be?

Is this film as bad as the Frankenstein mess many fans of the franchise were afraid it'd be, or is it a shockingly great addition to the Scream franchise?
