For Feb 1995, we head to summer camp a bit early & check out a cult comedy that steered us towards the Judd Apatow school - his first screenplay! Ben Stiller stars as a fitness guru who takes over a fat camp. Alas, the camp kids (food) fight back! Listen in to find out who’s the bigger…Heavyweights!

The Undiscovered Decade is back with yet another “hidden” gem: Gerry Garner (Aaron Schwartz) is forced by his parents to attend fat camp over the summer, but it’s not quite what he expected! Camp H…

The opening subway shakedown is a visceral mission that a crusader would normally thwart but the situation is infuscated by a tenebrious turn with police officers and a graphic railway demise. Fisk's historical fascination with LaGuardia solidifies that he is polymathic about the storied trajectory of the city. As for Daredevil, the episode is a flex of how Murdock's attorney skills are juxtaposed in tandem with his pulse lie detector and eavesdropping on the courtroom chatter....

Retooling isn't an anomaly for productions but Marvel and Disney are infamous for their officious meddling with properties due to the capricious winds of the zeitgeist. In the case of 'Daredevil: Born Again', many (including myself) were presumptuous that the reshoots were mandated to knead or coddle the grungy nature of the Netflix series into a show that would acculturate into Disney+'s overview of philoprogenitive family programming....

Recasting Mark Strong as Carmine Falcone is a faux pas when John Turturro was memorably Thyestean in 'The Batman'. Gotham City is still a glimmeringly saffron cesspool and Craig Zobel is in bedfellows with Matt Reeves' vision of the rain-soaked metropolis. According to news reports, the aftermath of the flood ignited a crime spree. With that logic, the show runners can't rationalize why Batman is truant during this anarchy....

If you weren't an ebullient fan of Marvel's maiden voyage to the small screen ('WandaVision'), is it possible to wholeheartedly embrace this undemandingly hermetic, but slight and unctuous offshoot? It's a scarcity. Upon the conclusion of the aforementioned show, Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn) was spellbound into amblyopic oblivion by Scarlet Witch. The cold opening to this spin-off is a Agatha ensnared in a CBS police procedural and Jac Schaeffer reproduces the case-of-the-week format with protean vicissitude....

The spycraft of Roy Miller (Tom Cruise) is basically violating the laws of physics and lucubrating Evel Knievel stunts which is a thinly veiled description of Cruise as a daredevil superstar. Outside of Cruise being a windshield ornament which was obviously on a blue screen for his safety concerns, Cruise clearly advocated for verisimilitude amidst the chase scenes. However, when Roy is vehement that he is "very good" at his job, he convincingly reassures not only his female companion but the viewers as well....

After a two-year hiatus, 'The Old Man' has returned with a vengeance for Season 2. The prospect of John Lithgow and Jeff Bridges no longer being only adversarial over the phone was too appetizing and their scenes together en route to Afghanistan bristle with seasoned embattlement. Make no mistake, their septuagenarian status plays a factor such as frequent urination breaks on the trail....

Hand-drawn animation is such a relief after the soulless preoccupation with 3D-rendered art styles in the past two decades. It's an alopecoid switcheroo to introduce the newfangled Penguin (voiced by Minnie Driver) in silhouette before revealing her feminine wiles. In true Bruce Timm fashion, 'Caped Crusader' is a laconic, pulpy throwback to the Raymond Chandler dime store novels of the 40's....

For July 1994, get ready for an explosive showdown between two of our finest American actors, Jeff Bridges & Tommy Lee Jones. One's a bomb squad captain, the other a mad bomber formerly affiliated with the IRA. Hopefully they won’t end up…Blown Away!
