Menorah in the Middle may play into holiday movie tropes but this Chanukah film is one that knows what its audience wants. The romantic holiday movie makes its exclusive premiere on Hulu as a licensed title. What this means is that the film isn’t a Hulu original. At some point, there will be the chance that it will no longer be on the streaming service. Until then, feel free to watch the film as many…

Weird: The Al Yankovic Story turns the musical biopic genre on its head as the film is the first major parody of the genre since 2007. Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story turns 15 years old in December. It was the musical biopic to end all musical biopics because of how much it parodied the genre. Since its release, every major musical biopic has hit all the checkmarks. Nearly 15 years later, along comes Weird…
"Weird: The Al Yankovic Story Is A Laugh Riot"
While the idea behind Blockbuster is funny, the comedy series itself is not the laugh-out-loud comedy that audiences were expecting. I went into this series wanting to enjoy it. Upon watching the series in the course of two different sittings, I wish I could say that I did. It’s a ten-episode half hour comedy series. I’m wondering if this is the sort of show that works better on broadcast with a longer series order. It’s…

Charles Barkley is absolutely right about Kyrie Irving and the NBA’s failure to take action on his pushing an antisemitic documentary. Barkley’s comments came Tuesday night as the Inside The NBA crew were were commenting about the situation during the TNT NBA Tip-Off broadcast prior to the Brooklyn Nets facing off against the Chicago Bulls. To say that the NBA “dropped the ball” is not an understatement. They put out a press release condemning antisemitism…

With a mass exodus starting after Elon Musk acquired Twitter, both studios and publicists will have to rethink how they use the platform. I first heard of Twitter in what was probably 2008-09. I distinctly remember sitting at a Shabbos dinner saying that I will never ever sign up for Twitter. In classic comedic fashion, I signed up that month because it was helpful in landing tickets to the promotional film screenings. The rest is…

The Independent, a new political journalism thriller, arrives on Peacock days before Americans go to the polls for the midterm election. The real October surprise? Peacock’s announcement of this thriller! There are so many options this week and that’s not an understatement. If you have election anxiety right now, the film probably is not the best option. Otherwise, I do recommend watching. Hey, it’s got Jodie Turner-Smith and Brian Cox in leading roles. You cannot…

A month and a half after its theatrical release, comic whodunit See How They Run is now available to buy through digital retailers. There is no physical media release at this time. Depending on digital sales, maybe we’ll see something in the future? I’m assuming the film will eventually land on Hulu at some point. See How They Run is a comic whodunit that takes place in London’s West End super early in The Mousetrap‘s theatrical…

You’re going to want to bring this film home on home video. Whether you do physical media or digital is up to you. What follows below is my original review: Nostalgia wins this year as Top Gun: Maverick will have audiences soaring into the Danger Zone with…

Armageddon Time is James Gray’s most personal film yet as the filmmaker decides to revisit his childhood in New York. This one hit rather close to home since the film touches on antisemitism. Watching it on the fourth anniversary of the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting probably wasn’t the best idea. In any event, the discussions in the film are so true and I was glad to see that it’s also in the trailer. I’d love to…
