But you ask, what if there aren't any new movies this week what are you going to review? Trust us we can always find something to review for your entertainment. We hope that once you've listened to us, that you will always want to listen.

I really considered using "You caught pervert" from an anime I watched over the weekend, which one am I talking about? You'll just have to listen to find out. I actually spent some time to edit this and even have a song picked out. As is usual this convention report talks mostly about what we did Friday and Saturday. If you want to know how the video rooms, artist alley, or the exhibit hall were that is in there too. I've always enjoyed doing these and I hope you do too.

Fury of the Gods, Love on the Sidelines, Creed III, Jesus Revolution, Ant-Man and the Wasp - Quantumania, Plane, The Adam Project, and Violent Night Opening and Closing Song: Holding Out for a Hero by Bonnie Tyler Yeah I think I had a backlog of movies to review here, sorry for the delayed episdoe!

Both of which I was quite excited to see, did they hold up? Well take the half hour out of your day to find out!
Review(s): Glass Onion - A Knives Out Mystery, Puss in Boots - The Last Wish, Avatar - The Way of Water, Spirited, The Fabelmans, Strange World, and Black Panther - Wakanda Forever Opening and Closing Song - Press Start by MDK I've said it before...yes, I know it has been a little while. I do explained this longer absence in the Closing Comments section for this episode. And for those that have been patiently waiting for something it is finally here. This is the longest episode I have done in recent memory, perhaps since the last show of 2021. Nonetheless this is a very full show with lots of reviews, the Box Office Report, Closing Comments, AND my Most Anticipated Films of 2023! Please enjoy the show!
Opening and Closing Song: I Ran by Flock of Seagulls This particular show is a little different than usual BECAUSE there is nothing technically to review here. Instead this show is all about what happened at my wedding and honeymoon. So this is a little bit of a time capsule. But for those that want a little insight between weddings, or the amusement parks we went to visit, I feel this is a good opportunity for you to hear about some of the fun stuff that we got to do. Funnily enough I believe I failed to mention during the show why I called this show Mandatory Fun. While we were waiting in line at Islands of Adventure we overheard a dad tell his child that they had fun but now it was time for mandatory fun as you could see the kid either didn't want to be doing what they were doing OR was getting tired. And I felt that was kind of apt considering how the beginning of our day/trip went.

Review(s): Tenet, License to Kill, Goldeneye, and Tomorrow Never Dies Opening and Closing Song: The Plan by Travis Scott It's a little hard to believe that is has been 2 months since the last episode, even more time has passed since I have reviewed something relevant.

Enjoy the show!
Review(s): Leap Year, The Living Daylights Opening and Closing Song: The Living Daylights by A-ha Yes after almost a month I have returned for yet another installment in the NCE universe. As I mentioned at the end of the episode the soonest anything will be coming, I believe is at the end of the month or whenever Tenet comes out. And I mentioned The Living Daylights being one of my least favorite titles for James Bond and I was referring to the title itself and not how I felt about the movie as you will see at the end of the review. Enjoy the show!
