Secret Headquarters, the new superhero film starring Owen Wilson, skips its theatrical release for a Paramount+ debut. Please make sure to watch until the very end of the credits. Speaking of credits, this is another film where all of the musicians get listed in the credits. I can partly understand why the studio switched to a streaming release.

While Armageddon runs a bloated 150 minutes, the large majority of the film could really be defined as a comedy. This film no doubt offered a glimpse into the future of what a Michael Bay movie would be–full of disaster with a side of visual effects. Nobody asked for either but okay. There’s nothing else that you really need to say. When an asteroid “the size of Texas” is discovered to be heading towards an…
