He's not even trying to catch them all!Asher and Chad attempt to ditch their cynicism goggles reacting to the trailer for Pokémon Detective Pikachu! They question how many different random things can make up a movie that they still want to see.The answer: Detective Pikachu many things. That’s exactly how many.

“Widows,” the new installment from director Steve McQueen, plays itself off like the heist movie cinema fans deserve instead of “Ocean’s 8.” In reality, it is something deeper than another genre flick. That both helps and hurts the film.The opening scene juxtaposes the criminals’ everyday family lives with their final excapade. Peaceful scenes of loved ones embracing are interrupted by gunshots and explosions. We get a glimpse of how both the criminals and their wives, or soon to be criminals, deal with their relationships.The chase ends abruptly with a barrage of firepower swiftly provided by the Chicago Police department, blowing the criminal crew to smithereens.This captivating end to the men’s story launches us to the beginning of the women’s story. It’s a clever idea on McQueens part; having the opening scene of this movie seem like the final scene of another.It’s sensible, yet revealing; it shows the danger this world manifest while giving insight into the main characters lives. This creates several different narratives all dealing with the same aftermath.It turns out the fellas rip off the wrong gangster turned politician played paper boi himself, Brian Tyree Henry. He leaves the refund bill with the main widow, the incredibly talented Viola Davis. She enlists the help of the other remaining widows for one last job to pay back the debt.After the film demands your attention, it holds it for a while with a deep roster of fantastic actors stacking their skills against each other.Of course Viola Davis is amazing. She owns the film. Seriously, it’s Viola Davis. We all know this. But everyone else just kills it. Liam Neeson owns the few scenes he is in. Watching Colin Farrell go toe-to-toe with Robert Duvall is impressive. Elizabeth Debicki goes from beaten up trophy wife to stone cold gangster by the time the credits role.McQueen is smart enough to only move the camera when he needs to. A few long takes exist, mostly to represent the emotional point of the scene, not for visual aesthetic. Although, it does look damn good.The movie is an emotional drama posing as a heist film. Which is fine for the most part. However, the pacing does lag towards the end of the second act. We’ve been watching these people deal with their emotional rollercoaster for so long, you want it to get back to the caper.Then again that’s not the point of the movie. It doesn’t glamorize the heist because the movie is not about the heist. It’s not sexy. The cinematography looks bleak because the lives of the main characters are bleak. This isn’t about some gentleman thief pulling off one last play with a ragtag crew. The ladies are doing this to survive.It properly represents the shake up that comes with a dramatic life change, which is something every character in the movie goes through. What better way to represent dramatic life change than having to turn into a criminal?Overall it is captivating and fair to the genre without overdoing it.I give this movie 2.8 out of 5 fake Chicago accents.I’m Chad with a Quick One, brought to you by Movie Night Autopsy.

So, The Gang thinks they can retire without a wacky adventure tying into a forgotten spinoff no one wanted? Think again!Seriously, take a minute. It doesn't make that much sense. Asher and Chad Trail Off about the new Warner Bros. animated feature Scooby-Doo! and the Curse of the 13th Ghost! The crew digs deep into the fantastic performance of the voice actors, the logical design of ghosts, and why no one calls Mystery Inc. to solve a murder.

The Minute is back with more gabs to gab! Topics of the day include the inescapable reality of an AMC A-List price increase, Rick Grimes' future in The Walking Dead: The Movies, and the uninspiring direction of (most) future Star Wars projects. Is AMC pulling a MoviePass? Is Star Wars over correcting? Does anyone care about The Walking Dead at all anymore? Shape shifting helicopters, and lead characters you don't care about are all on the table as Sam sits down with Aaron. Somebody's gotta sort all this out, and hopefully we'll get to the bottom of something.

Sam, of Movie Night Autopsy, reviews the new Nazi zombie horror movie, Overlord.What, what, what in the unholy Hell did I just watch? This is Sam, with a Quick One, brought to you by the crew from Movie Night Autopsy.OK, so first off, I just want to say I can't believe it took us so long to come up with a horror film about war, something so inherently horrible, but here we are, and at least we got here, and Overlord is just that.It's a horror movie. It's an unapologetic genre flick, if there ever was one, but when it's not that, it's a legitimately powerful take on war. From the opening moments centering on a squad preparing to drop in Nazi occupied France, and I can't believe I'm saying those words about a movie like this, the sense of camaraderie and brotherhood commonly associated with stories of war are ever present. The entire sequence of allied planes being shredded by German forces and the reaction of petrified, largely untested troops is among the most beautiful accomplishments I've seen on screen this year. At the heart of everything that happens moving forward, this is in fact a war movie.Now admittedly, the film deviates from historical cannon right away, as American troops weren't integrated until 1948, but history is irrelevant in this type of a story. Also, Javon Adepo just kills it, watch out for that guy he’s going places, but that's almost beside the point because everyone here is in on what's happening, and they are dedicated to fulfilling this vision of... just whoever was crazy enough to put all of this together. So as the flick starts by leaning hard on some Band of Brothers type of Saving Private Ryan aesthetic, the director gracefully, for lack of a better term, handles the genre-bending transition into the From Dusk till Dawn of the Night of the Living Dead-like place where this whole thing ends up, and that, is no small feat.It’s impressive as we weave our way through this horror show of a war story, and we eventually see it become a very different type of horror show, that I was never left questioning what I was seeing. I accept the films maniacal left turns — even embrace them — because of course, Nazi zombies, of course. It's not quite Wolfenstein: the Movie, which is almost what I was expecting, but the film succeeds on its own merits in just about every way that it can, and as long you know the cluster fuck of a movie that you're getting into, I think most movie goers are in for a good time at the theater, and all this despite having J.J. Abrams’ name on it. A wild, crazy, fun ride occasionally delving into the true stuff of nightmares, this one’s a winner for me. See it in IMAX if you have a chance. It’s worth it.4 Nazis and a half a zombie out of… something… you know. Whatever.I'm Sam, and this was a Quick One, brought to you by Movie Night Autopsy.P.S. What's the deal with kids just owning it in R-rated movies this year? Yeah, this one’s got one of those too.Thanks for listening.

This one is going to be intense, folks. The crew gets deep on the 90's classic "American History X".

Taking on a biopic is a difficult task. Telling an honest version of history while telling a compelling story is like sculpting with jelly. History has no protagonists, day to day life has no character arch, and reality has no grand finale. Any attempt to make a biopic suffers the terrible choice of betraying truth in order to satisfy a theatrical release, and no matter how fantastic the life, something will be sacrificed.Bohemian Rhapsody manages to tow this line succinctly, offering a version of Freddy Mercury that’s both gritty and glorious.
