NEW EPISODE: The Boys are finally together since December & bring to you their thoughts on the latest movies. Liam leads the charge on THE WRECKING CREW, & @hibachijustice.bsky.social and @vycevictus.bsky.social have differing thoughts on SHELTER! More below! creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/...

The author of ‘Welcome to the Family’ (Barry Hertz) returns to the pod to discuss the Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham-starring franchise-starter that wasn’t, as well as late-breaking news about ‘Fast & Furious 11.’

Listen Now | As Hidden Pictures and Lionsgate’s The Housemaid arrives on PVOD amid a miraculous theatrical run (with $315 million worldwide and counting), its director, Paul Feig, stops by for an hour to discuss a career spent upending conventional wisdom.

I finally sat down with maybe THE perennial Brandon Guy, Gerard Butler, and had a great conversation about Greenland 2, the differences in his many action heroes and a tiny bit on Den of Thieves 3. You can read it here: www.menshealth.com/entertainmen...

PRIMATE (2026): Lean. MEAN. I'm annoyed that the film sets up some big family trauma narrative, only to abandon it in favor of tongue-in-cheek simian slasher beats, but the practical effects and the pacing are too well done to ignore. Surprisingly heavy giallo influences, too? Not mad about it.

First week of the new year. This month coming in hot, who’s ready #JanuaryMovies #FuckYeahJanuary

‘THE SECRET AGENT’ has won Best International Film at the Critics Choice Awards.

BLACK DYNAMITE screens on 35mm Tuesday at Nitehawk Prospect Park in the finale of HILARITY ENSUES: ACTION COMEDIES OF THE 2000s Introduced by @vycevictus.bsky.social 💥

I really, really, really liked THE LONG WALK—it's one of my favorite movies of the year (so far). The "unadaptable" becomes one of the year's most harrowing and impactful watches. Here's my full review for @dailydead.bsky.social:

Hit like if you read film criticism weekly and repost if you read film criticism more than that

Sup

"M.J. Bassett’s Red Sonja kicks unholy amounts of ass, and ranks among the very best action films of 2025". I said what I said. My full @cinapse.bsky.social review of #RedSonja (2025): cinapse.co/2025/08/red-...

NEW EPISODE! The Boys are back with the Summer Box Office Wrap-up with @scottmendelson.bsky.social! Liam & @vycevictus.bsky.social get the 411 on WEAPONS (2025), July's slugfest, while @odstspartan.bsky.social wonders about the Monkey's Paw that is TRON: ARES. creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/...

I'm looking back at some of the summer films of twenty years ago.

Was K.O. on anyone's radar?? Completely by the books French genre action film in the best way. Some excellent fights in this! Ciryl Gane is fuck-huge Reacher big, performing some gnarly combos, throws/suplexes. Great club fight (yes another one) and epic finale. This is the DTV goods we love!

“Yet, though the rise of video rentals shrank the public space of movies by keeping more viewers at home, the video store arguably expanded the public space of movies by its ubiquity, covering the commercial landscape much more densely than movie theatres did.”

Your man Vyce on another adventure #Barcelona

Bright lights & the big city

Nothing has ever fucked us over and ruined everything more than American Christianity.

It feels like with each passing year, the struggle never ends. Perhaps it was ever thus. My ongoing project continues for 2024, documenting some notable war films from around the world to seek understanding & clarity. I hope you find the same in the coming years. Godspeed
