WOLFS MOVIE REVIEW
George Clooney and Brad Pitt star in this movie you might’ve seen a trailer for a few months back. Unless you live in New York or Los Angeles, and knew about the singular week it was actually in theaters. Now, the only way you’re watching this snappy action-comedy thriller is with that rare Apple Plus subscription. These two handsome and endlessly charismatic leading men play handsome and charismatic fixers in the seedy (and yet still fabulous) underworld of New York City. Wolfs is written and directed by Jon Watts as an excuse for its two leads to riff on their own personas as they begrudgingly work together to cover up a murder by a prominent city figure (Amy Ryan). They are good at what they do, and they do it alone. Having to team up is not part of the job description. They are loners. They are shadows in the night. They are… not so different from each other. Melina, Drew, and T.C. sit down in the One Of Us Tarantino Diner Set and fire off their thoughts about this come and gone flick that probably should’ve come and stayed for a while before getting dumped on streaming. But hey, it’s got a sequel greenlit, so perhaps this will see a growing fanbase over time.
DIRECTED BY: Jon Watts
STARRING: George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Amy Ryan, Austin Abrams, Poorna Jagannathan, Zlatko Burić, Richard Kind, Frances McDormand

Melina Eames (Screener Squad)
Melina first discovered that she carried the nerd gene at the tender age of four following her exposure to a little film called A New Hope. In the twenty-some years that followed, Melina continued to grow into her geek identity through the discovery of Batman, Mst3k, Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings and The Mandalorian. But perhaps her most significant discovery came at the age of fourteen when a night of YouTube mining led her to the review site of Spill.com. Melina became a devoted follower whose fandom did not end with the site’s demise. By then, it had worked its dark magic and left her with a love and appreciation for film criticism that she has yet to shrug.
Drew Tinnin (Screener Squad, Highly Suspect Reviews, Deliberations of Doom)
Drew Tinnin is a Rondo Award nominated interviewer and critic who has worked at SiriusXM’s Fangoria Radio and Fangoria magazine in NYC, as well as the London-based Dazed Digital.
