Sho continues through the jampacked summer by tackling three very different movies, starting with Netflix's Gunpowder Milkshake (4:50), The Rock's latest adventure in Jungle Cruise (19:30), and Dev Patel's leap into Arthurian legend with The Green Knight (32:45).

Sho finally makes his way back inside a movie theatre (socially distanced, of course), popcorn and all! After a quick discussion about what going to the movies is really like now, he breaks down the LeBron James-led Space Jam: A New Legacy (6:27), the latest entry in the 'Fast Saga', Fast 9 (22:00), and the latest reboot of the GIJOE franchise, Snake Eyes (37:35).

A jam-packed July gets off to a three movie review start, as Sho takes a look at more streaming service offerings, including Amazon's The Tomorrow War (8:00), Disney's Black Widow (22:00), and HBO Max's No Sudden Move (39:00).

With the summer season finally upon us, Sho kicks things off by giving a few TV recommendations (wait, this is a ~movie~ podcast, right?), and also discusses the latest trailer for Marvel's Shang-Chi and the Ten Rings (including that incredible music)! Afterwards, Sho gets right into the reviews for Jon M .Chu's big budget musical In The Heights (7:33), and Pixar's latest offering in Luca (20:27).

What does a non-DC Zack Snyder movie look like these days? Does Jason Statham still have action star bonafides? Does Cruella live up to her 101 Dalmatians infamy? Sho tackles all these questions and more (plus a bonus chat about 1997's Drive off the top) in reviews for Snyder's Army of the Dead (8:06), Guy Ritchie's Wrath of Man (25:04), and Disney's latest offering Cruella (36:57).

Sho kicks off the latest episode with some memories about crowd pleasing moments, spurred by a recent rewatch of Marvel's The Avengers (8:00). Afterwards, Sho reviews the indie martial arts action-comedy The Paper Tigers (11:59), and the latest from Sony Animation, The Mitchells vs. The Machines (20:39).

With blockbuster season about to kick off (we hope!), it's time to dive right into the latest action flicks! Sho kicks things off by looking at Bob Odenkirk's first foray into 'old man action' in Nobody (4:43), the latest big-budget adaptation of Mortal Kombat (16:49), and another entry into Tom Clancy's 'Ryanverse', Without Remorse (31:06).

It's been a weird year, which means it's only fitting that the 93rd Academy Awards - i.e. the Oscars 2021 - were weird as well! Sho touches on the unique ceremony, including what worked (intimate setting) and what didn't (no clips for acting nominees?). Plus, a discussion on why putting Best Picture as the final award of the evening is a must, and why getting away from that ultimately ended in chaos.

We're catching up on the Best Picture nominees as we get into April! Sho tackles Riz Ahmed's career-best performance in Sound of Metal (3:18), David Fincher's latest in Mank (13:30), and the latest blockbuster to hit theatres/streaming services in Godzilla vs. Kong (25:10). Plus, some - probably entirely unnecessary - day-after musings on the alpha titans' grudge match (35:40)!

With the Oscar Nominations officially out ahead of next month's ceremony, Sho discusses some of the issues (snubs, namely) with the 2021 Nominations so far. Afterwards, he brings on friend and film buff James Mackin to further dissect the year's proceedings (13:59).

We go from one end of the movie spectrum to another in this episode, as Sho discusses Chloe Zhao's highly praised Nomadland (4:04) and Disney Animation's latest creation Raya and the Last Dragon (14:05). Finally, with the Snyder Cut upon us, Sho reviews the four-hour superhero epic, Zack Snyder's Justice League (23:50).

Sho actually lives up to his end of the bargain, and puts out a second episode before the end of February (shocker, I know)! He tackles five films, including the biographical drama Judas and the Black Messiah (3:10), Netflix's Malcolm & Marie (12:00), Amazon Prime's disaster flick Greenland (21:15), the space opera Space Sweepers (28:19), and Lee Isaac Chung's semi-autobiographical Minari (35:42).
