Issue 600 of #Comicast is out! Myself alongside @heychalice.bsky.social of Reel Movie Junkie, Bryan of the @bryfypodcast.bsky.social, & @seantaj.bsky.social of @nerdtropolis.bsky.social live ranked the #MCU multiverse films but in a fantasy draft style. What could go wrong? #CP2025 #CPPodFamily
That was a fun sequel that amps up the amount of scares this time around.
Performances are solid, but I think it’s the overall just fun/unabashed embrace of the game lore and the absurdities of it all that makes this one work. #FiveNightsatFreddys2 #FilmSky (1/2)

After an impromptu one week hiatus @one-punch.bsky.social & I are back with Issue 622 of #Comicast! Surprising no one we discuss the 1st volume of #StrangerThings5 including the new pairings, the scale, Dustin's arc, Mike feeling more like a background character (but that's ok), & more!

I know there's a rather large film releasing this weekend but please give some time to #RentalFamily because it's a beautiful film with great performances all throughout that will have you laughing and crying. It's charming, endearing, and so many more adjectives. Loved it.

A truly heartwarming, emotional story with moving performances from the entire cast. Hikari helms this absolutely wonderful film that had me laughing and crying throughout. Really enjoyed this one, can't say enough good things about it.

Predator Badlandza
Saw #TheRunningMan earlier this week and left it feeling a bit mixed. It's a solid action movie with some laughs and great over the top characters but the 2nd half felt like it dragged to the finish. Then mix in some pacing issues, just didn't work for me as much as I expected it would.

I need to sit and think on this one a bit more.
I enjoyed it for the most part. It has solid action & solid performances mixed in with timely social commentary. However, for me it dragged on too long in the back half which is when the jokes weren't hitting for me as much & the pacing felt off.

I loved #PredatorBadlands.
Dan Trachtenberg is incredible, he's managed to knock it out of the park again by taking parts of what we knew about the classic movie monster and expanding the lore/mythos of it all to deliver a completely unique, fun, and imaginative story this time around. #FilmSky

I'm so thankful for the 9 years I've been with GGA. I started as a contributor and ended as a managing editor. Without Audrey, I wouldn't have grown nearly as much as a writer or have had these incredible opportunities. I'm so grateful for the family we've created here.

Man, that was such a blast. Just an incredible movie, loved every minute of it. #PredatorBadlands brings such a fresh take on the franchise. Make time for this one if you're going to theater. If anything so I can see Dan Trachtenberg continue to cook with this franchise lol.

Man, #PredatorBadlands is everything I hoped for and more. It’s the perfect fall/summer movie if that makes sense. If you want to have fun this upcoming weekend go watch it.
