Noah Baumbach's surprisingly light, celebrity dramedy #JayKellyis streaming on Netflix now. #GeorgeClooney plays a more broken down, regretful version of himself. He's charming, and I'm easily won over by him.

Mamoru Hosada has made my favorite Japanese animated films in recent years, THE GIRL WHO LEAPT THROUGH TIME and SUMMER WARS to name just a couple. So I'm super excited for SCARLET which hits IMAX in February.

Christopher Bumbray and I talked about the biggest news of the year, Netflix's acquisition of Warner Bros. and what this means for the movie industry as a whole. Hint: it probably ain't great.

I hope you'll check it out and then subscribe to the YouTube channel!

Smooth timing for Netflix acquiring WB just before SINNERS and ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER combined for 31 Critics' Choice Awards nominations!

Netflix's acquisition of Warner Bros. is a massive shake-up in Hollywood, and it WILL have a huge impact on movie theaters which could see significantly fewer releases.

#FiveNightsAtFreddys2 somehow manages to be even more dull and lacking in scares than its predecessor, which was fucking dreadful.

James Gunn's control over DC Studios could vanish no matter who buys Warner Bros. Discovery, but it'll be a harsher shift if it's Paramount. They'll probably put Dean Cain in charge.

It's wild to me that ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD was six years ago. What the Hell??? Also, I think we knew DiCaprio wouldn't show up. Not with his asking price!

This was an unexpected development. What are we thinking? Poison Ivy? Does a character like that work in Matt Reeves' world? #ScarlettJohansson #TheBatman

If the sports biopic by way of UNCUT GEMS sounds like your jam, then #MartySupreme is the movie you’re looking for. Look for Timothee Chalamet to get his third Best Actor Oscar nomination for this one.

A24 has dropped the first trailer for David Lowery's pop music drama MOTHER MARY starring Anne Hathaway and Michaela Coel! I've learned to always trust in Lowery, but the early buzz on this is that it's baffling.
