The answer probably won’t surprise you. 0:00 – Introductions 13:29 – “Resident Evil” Spoiler-Free Review 59:30 – What We’ve Been Watching

Movies are back, babyyyyy!!! Coming hot on the heels of our last ginormous review, we’re following it up with a review of a movie that is breaking box office records left and right. Unfortunately, that does not apply to Gregg Araki’s first feature film in 12 years, “I Want Your Sex”, but us being cinephiles we of course had to make room for a discussion of that too.

Disney Pixar is back again to print another billion dollars for their shareholders with the latest installment in their most well-known franchise. “Toy Story 5” is a movie nobody asked for, but the piggies are happily slopping up regardless.
