We sat down with “Wednesday”’s own Sherrif Galpin, Jamie McShane, to chat the supernatural, parental expectations, and Tim Burton.  Most recently, you might recognize McShane as the town of Jericho’s lead law enforcer. “Wednesday” took the streaming platform by storm, ranking the #2 on the Most Popular (English) TV list with 1.237 Billion hours viewed in its first 28 days.

The top question we have for the new Jennifer Lopez led “rom-com” “Shotgun Wedding” is who is this for? We are absolutely fans of some of her other turns, “Maid in Manhattan” is a great movie and we won’t hear otherwise. However her latest, in which she stars opposite Josh Duhamel, is severely lacking in both romance and comedy.  Steve Coulter as Larry Fowler and Jennifer Coolidge as Carol Fowler in Shotgun Wedding.

Wondering why you haven’t heard a ton about “The Son” in spite of a star studded cast? Unfortunately it seems that there’s a good reason for this film remaining off the awards radar. Written and directed by Florian Zeller, and based on his own stage play of the same name, the film perhaps would have been better off sticking to the boards. Anthony Hopkins in “The Son” – Courtesy Sony Pictures Classics Zeller’s first film, “The Father,” was an emotional piece starring Anthony Hopkins as an aging man dealing with deteriorating memory. Hopkins and co-stars Olivia Colman, Imogen Poots, Olivia…

We had the chance to sit down with Everett Downing and Patrick Harpin, the co-creators of the new Netflix series “My Dad the Bounty Hunter.” Everett and Patrick are animation industry veterans who’ve worked at studios such as Pixar Animation Studios, Sony Pictures Animation, Blue Sky Studios, and more. Everett also co-directed the Academy Award winning short, “Hair Love.” We chatted with them about classic sci-fi and animation inspiration, role models, mixing styles, and dimbos (aka dad himbos).  My Dad the Bounty Hunter (L to R) Yvette Nicole Brown as KRS, Jecobi Swain as Sean, Laz Alonso as Sabo Brok…

There appears to have been a lack of self awareness when “A Man Called Otto” producer Tom Hanks allowed himself to star in the film. The film is based on “A Man Called Ove” which is a Swedish novel that has already been adapted to the big screen once. The previous adaptation was actually nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Makeup and Hairstyling.  Mariana Treviño and Tom Hanks star in Columbia Pictures A MAN CALLED OTTO. photo by: Dennis Mong While we haven’t seen the previous celluloid interpretation, we can certainly say this about…

“The Pale Blue Eye” is a middling tale of the woes of a fictitious Edgar Allan Poe. Scott Cooper brings the 2003 novel of the same name by Louis Bayard to the big (and streaming) screen. Harry Melling stars as the fictitious version of Poe, who is enrolled at West Point. Who would’ve thought that of the “Harry Potter” actors, Melling would be in the most prestigious projects (including “Queen’s Gambit”). Christian Bale plays Augustus Landor, a former military man turned detective. Christian Bale illuminates a dark room in The Pale Blue Eye. Photo by SCOTT GARFIELD for Vanity Fair…

The latest film from Cartoon Saloon is “My Father’s Dragon” and we had the chance to chat with director Nora Twomey and star Jacob Tremblay. It’s based on the Newbery-honored children’s book from Ruth Stiles Gannett and follows Elmer (Tremblay) as he struggles to cope with a move to the city and a massive change in circumstances.

We had the chance to chat with two legends, “Wendell & Wild” director Henry Selick and actor James Hong. Selick is a titan of stop-motion, having directed “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” “James and the Giant Peach,” and “Coraline.” His latest endeavor has him collaborating with Jordan Peele and is based on an original story by Selick.  WENDELL & WILD – (L-R) Raul (voiced by Sam Zelaya) and Kat (voiced by Lyric Ross).

Head into a world of Japanese gods and monsters with Dice Tsutsumi and “Oni: Thunder God’s Tale.” The new animated series from Tonko House and Netflix is a gorgeous story of family and belonging. It follows Momona Tamada as Onari, raised by her father Naru-don (voiced by Craig Robinson) in their mountain village. Onari must find her place as the threat of the mysterious and ominous Oni circles in on her home.
