Peacemaker Season 2 ReviewJames Gunn’s Peacemaker is BACK and louder, bloodier, and more absurd than ever with Season 2 — and it’s still one of the wildest rides in the DCU. Taking place after The Suicide Squad and Season 1, this new chapter cements Gunn’s tone for the DC Universe as we await Superman (2025). Packed with insane action, hilarious banter, and jaw-dropping DC connections, Peacemaker Season 2 is both a continuation of what made the first season so good and a bold expansion of the story

FIXED (2025) Movie ReviewFrom the director of Samurai Jack and Primal comes one of the wildest adult animated comedies of the year… and it’s about a dog trying to enjoy his last 24 hours before getting neutered. Genndy Tartakovsky’s Fixed is insane, outrageous, and visually stunning — but sadly, not as funny or memorable as it should be.In my review, I break down the film’s over-the-top antics, Tartakovsky’s direction, and why Fixed doesn’t quite live up to its creative potential.

THE NAKED GUN (2025) Movie ReviewI just got out of seeing the brand-new The Naked Gun reboot — and WOW, this is the PERFECT comedy comeback! This film captures the spirit of the original in every ridiculous, side-splitting, slapstick-filled moment. It’s everything I wanted in a Naked Gun movie and more.From absurd visual gags to Liam Neeson’s surprisingly spot-on comedic timing, this movie delivers nonstop laughs.

Jason Statham and David Ayer team up once again for A Working Man, a gritty action flick penned by Sylvester Stallone and based on Chuck Dixon’s novel Levon’s Trade (which, let’s be honest, is a way better title). After The Beekeeper revitalized both of their careers, can they strike gold twice?In my review, I break down whether this movie delivers another top-tier Statham action spectacle or if it’s just another run-of-the-mill dad movie.
