Our Austin, TX team of critics and close friends go see theatrical release early screenings in person and then gather together, often with the assistance of a bit of whiskey, to record podcast reviews.

HAMNET MOVIE REVIEW It’s important to remember when looking at biopics about real people that we actually know very little about, that being queeny about the historical details is entirely besides the fact.

Highly Suspect Reviews: Wicked: For Good
WICKED: FOR GOOD MOVIE REVIEW The most anticipated movie of the year (by studios hoping to pay for the rest of the year’s screwups by this paying for it) is here.
