2025/12/12

Did Manousos just walk into the trap of a lifetime? Welcome back to the deepest dive into the shadowy world of *Pluribus*! Episode 7, titled "The Gap," delivers seismic shifts that threaten to unravel everything we thought we knew about the core relationships in this terrifying dystopia. The episode’s title is truly apt, highlighting the growing chasm between perception and reality, and the emotional distance characters are desperately trying to bridge, or exploit. The central, most heart-sto...

2025/12/05

The mystery of the "milk" is finally solved in Pluribus Episode 6, "HDP," and the twist is absolutely horrifying. We're talking Human Derived Protein, yes, we are now officially in the cannibal cult genre. Beyond the insanity of that reveal (and the wild John Cena cameo!), we have to talk about Carol. She was officially cut off from the only people left who understand her, and honestly? Watching her isolation play out, we can't help but feel she brought this on herself. Join us as we deep div...

Pluribus Episodes 4 & 5 Review: Darker, Weirder, and...

Behind The Groove ·

2025/11/27

Pluribus just leveled up hard with episodes 4 ("Please, Carol") and 5 ("Got Milk"). Episode 4 pulls Carol deeper into morally questionable territory when she drugs Zosia with truth serum to extract intel on reversing the Joining. The Joined can't lie, so Carol exploits that vulnerability without hesitation. It's ruthless, clever, and leaves Zosia collapsing at the end in a gut punch of a cliffhanger. Then episode 5 isolates Carol completely. The Joined abandon her in Albuquerque, leaving her ...

Warhammer TV App First Impressions – Needs a Content...

2025/11/25

We just checked out the Warhammer TV app and, honestly, it’s got potential but falls short in key areas. The app offers exclusive Warhammer animations, hobby guides, and battle reports, but after browsing the available content, there’s just not enough to keep you coming back. Most series are short, updates are slow, and it feels dated next to modern streaming platforms. UI/UX is a struggle: navigation is clunky, compatibility is inconsistent across devices, and basic features like sorting, fa...

2025/11/18

We just tuned into the first three episodes of Pluribus on Apple TV, and we’re blown away! The show feels trippy, loopy, and totally absorbing, exactly what you’d expect from the creator of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Its atmosphere pulls you in, the story layers psychological sci-fi with sharp character work, and the visuals are top-notch. Rhea Seehorn absolutely commands the screen as Carol, giving a nuanced performance right in the middle of a bizarre, hive-mind world where individu...

2025/11/11

We just watched The Last Spark of Hope on Amazon, and it’s one of the weirdest, most visually impressive post-apocalyptic films we’ve seen. The story follows Eva, possibly the last human alive, trapped outside her compound by her guardian robot Arthur, a machine programmed not to harm humans, but also incapable of saving her or bending the rules to help. Arthur’s logic becomes both a lifeline and a prison: it won’t kill Eva, but it also won’t act to prevent her death, and watching this robot ...

Just finished Splinter Cell: Deathwatch on Netflix and this series absolutely delivers! Everything fans want from a top-tier animated action series: razor-sharp stealth missions, tense betrayals, and dynamic, layered characters. Sam Fisher comes out of retirement, older, wiser, and deadlier, to team up with rising agent Zinnia McKenna and face a global conspiracy that keeps you guessing. The animation is crisp, the story has real stakes, and the finale sets up Season 2 perfectly. If you’re a ...

Highest 2 Lowest Review: When Hollywood Gets the...

Behind The Groove ·

2025/10/28

We just watched Highest 2 Lowest on Apple TV, and what a letdown. As music industry veterans, we couldn’t help but cringe at how badly this film misunderstands how the industry actually handles extortion, negotiation, and label operations. Instead of real-world tension, we get overblown drama, decisions no actual label or artist would make, and a script that feels totally out of sync with reality. On top of that, the soundtrack is all over the place—blasting mismatched tracks that pull you ou...

Behind The Groove ·

2025/10/21

We just watched Brick on Netflix, and wow—what a ride! Most viewers slammed it, but honestly, we found it weirdly entertaining. This German sci-fi thriller traps a group of people inside an apartment building mysteriously sealed by black brick walls. The concept is wild, the writing sometimes clunky, and the acting over the top—but that’s exactly what gives it B-movie charm. Between the cheesy lines, random plot twists, and unintentional humor, it somehow works in its own offbeat way. Despite...

Tilly Norwood, the AI-generated actress created by Dutch producer Eline Van der Velden, is making waves, and enemies, in Hollywood. Billed as the next Scarlett Johansson, Tilly’s synthetic performances and digital presence are sparking outrage among actors, unions, and talent agencies. Critics point out Tilly lacks genuine emotion, life experience, and true acting ability, raising fresh debates about AI’s place in entertainment and the future of human performers.

Superman on HBO Max: The Worst Superman Movie Ever?

Behind The Groove ·

2025/09/30

We just watched the new Superman streaming on HBO Max, and… yikes! For longtime Superman fans, this was a letdown, glossy visuals, loud action, and a script packed with meme references, TikTok energy, and Gen Z/Gen Alpha humor. There’s little of the depth or wonder adults remember from Superman; instead, this reboot plays strictly for the Fortnite generation. The cast is young, the jokes are relentless, and any sense of gravity or myth is swapped for viral catchphrases and shallow sentimental...

The Blob (1958) – Old Teens, Cheesy FX & Drive-In Magic!

2025/09/22

We just watched The Blob (1958), and wow—this flick is pure drive-in gold. Steve McQueen leads a cast of “teenagers” who could’ve all passed for seniors at a high school reunion, but it only adds to the fun! The special effects are goofy, the dialog is retro gold, and every minute is a love letter to low-budget sci-fi. Whether it’s the Blob rolling over townsfolk or adults pretending to be rebellious kids, this movie is a B-movie masterpiece that begs to be seen with a rowdy crowd at the driv...
