What a way to kick off a Friday… Per Variety, Netflix has entered exclusive talks with Warner Bros. Discovery to acquire the company’s film and television studio, as well as the HBO Max streaming service. Any deal faces a difficult road to securing regulatory approval. Additionally, the Directors Guild of America and Cinema United, the exhibition trade organization, issued statements with warnings that the marriage of Netflix and WBD would have dire consequences for theatrical moviegoing. Developing… Do you think Netflix was the best choice to acquire WB? How do you think this will impact the theatrical moviegoing experience?

Scarlett Johansson seemingly can’t say no to a franchise role.

Another week. Another essential movie. The Canon: An Essential Movies Watchlist is back with more movie magic. This week, we’re talking Bicycle Thieves. Happy listening, screenagers! Episode 104: Bicycle Thieves (1948) Bonjourno ScreenAgers! It’s time to explore the wonderful world of Italian neorealism. Bicycle Thieves is the definitive example of the genre. Jason Christian from Cold War Cinema and Felicia Maroni of the Seeing Faces in Movies podcast are back to offer their expertise on one of the greatest films ever made.

While our two Best Picture frontrunners are in the adapted screenplay category, there is some tough competition at the top in the original screenplay category as well among the other three films rounding out the Best Picture top five.

So grab some popcorn, pop in your (non-existent) tape, and settle in for MonsoonVision!

People love to hate. Whether it’s a film, show, or celebrity, the internet’s always buzzing with hot takes that sometimes seem to be the general consensus on certain topics. However, we are here to ask, is that trashed movie actually a hidden gem? Is that polarizing star unfairly targeted? Or does that overrated series deserve the shade? We’re diving in to settle the score, and we need your vote to make it official.

It’s the holiday season, and if you’re anything like me, you might be saving all your favorites for your weekends off prior to Christmas. I find that in these winter months, I find myself returning to some classic films that are feel-good, comfortable and give me a sense of nostalgia. To me, these movies and shows just feel like a warm beverage on a cold winter night, and give that cozy feeling without getting into holiday vibes too early.

Our mission at SAW is to foster conversations about this thing we all love (or love to hate): film/TV. Many of our features are designed with you in mind. Your opinions, to be more to the point. You have 'em. We want to hear 'em. Question of the Day (QOTD) is exactly what it sounds like. It's a film/TV-related question that we put to you, the reader.

About a week ago, I spent a few days sick on the couch watching a slew of ’90s DTV sci-fi movies on Tubi. Virtual Combat (1995), starring Don "The Dragon" Wilson, kicked the marathon off, and because I had to suffer through it, I figured I’d spread the misery by talking about it here. Virtual Combat’s not all bad, though—so hit play and let’s talk about this little piece of mid-’90s cyberjunk cinema. Have you seen Virtual Reality? What did you think? Let us know in the comments below!

It’s been a year for Bachman.  Definitely the darker and more mean spirited side of Stephen King, we’ve gotten two adaptations this year: The Long Walk and The Running Man. Now I already wrote the review for The Long Walk (spoiler: I loved it) and Dhalgren made some pretty well thought out predictions for The Running Man…

The 1980s were defined by excess, experimentation, and pure cinematic audacity. Horror directors turned their killers into rock stars. Action movies weaponized machismo and gave us villains who could monologue with more force than most heroes could punch. Sci-fi went outward into the furthest reaches of space and inward, turning our own bodies into our worst enemies. Even comedies got in on the act, gifting us cartoonishly evil landlords, slimy corporate worms, and jerks so committed to being awful that audiences couldn’t help but love them.

Early in Zootopia 2, our dynamic buddy cop duo of Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde are in hot pursuit of Garry Desnake when they're warned not to follow him if he takes the "red line," as they will run out of breath. It's a fitting metaphor for the sequel at large: just as zippy and fun as the first but disadvantaged by having no time to breathe.

A24 has released an official trailer for How to Make a Killing. The upcoming thriller movie, previously titled Huntington, was written and directed by John Patton Ford. Let's take a look.

Don't you hate spoilers? Possibly the only thing worse than spoilers is not being able to freely talk about a film you just saw. Well, fear not.

Episode 103: The Thin Man (1934) A murder mystery! The blueprint for the screwball comedy-hard boiled crime drama hybrid, The Thin Man is a most deserving of the "essential" tagging. SAW contributor Bryan Loomis joins Raf to talk why this movie is such a good hang.

One of the biggest debates in all of cinema is whether an actor, director, or movie is overrated or underrated. Is that Oscar-winning actor truly deserving of the hype? Is that cult-favorite director secretly a genius? Or is that blockbuster movie riding on nostalgia alone? We are here to fight that out, and we need your votes to settle the score.

It's time to look at the writers behind some of this years top Oscars movies, and it just so happens that the top two juggernauts in the race both happed to land in adapted screenplay. Hamnet Director Chloe Zháo adapted the novel of the same name by Maggie O'Farrell with help from the author herself to bring this powerful tale of love and loss to the screen.

We all have a natural desire to find an identity for ourselves. Work, family, interests, hobbies, beliefs, values - there are many things that we could see as giving our lives meaning, and it can change over the course of our lives. But when we don’t have a strong sense of our purpose and identity, we feel adrift.  Train Dreams…
