And we're back after a few weeks off due and we're discussing and reviewing the newest addition to the MCU, Dr. Strange In The Multiverse of Madness. Raimi fans will love it. Non-Raimi fans might have problems with it. We fall into both categories and appreciate the filmmaking aspect, but also think that some of Raimi's specific style really causes... you know what?

The Northman is a downright brutal film. And we talk about all of it. Our review and conversation about The Northman covers everyting from the intensity of the music, to the unbelievable shots, and the entire epic-ness of it all, and so much more. We actually had to stop ourselves because we could've talked for another hour together about this film. Eggers certainly delivered on a $90 Million Viking epic. As usual, there are spoilers ahead on this episode. TIMESTAMPS: 1. Watch We've Been Watching - 0:41 2. The Review - 14:27 3.

If you're someone who says that original movies aren't being made, well you couldn't be more wrong.

There are spoilers everywhere in this episode and we highly encourage you to watch this film without any expectations so that you can experience the magic that is Everything Everywhere All At Once without any pre-conceived ideas.

Another year, another Batman reboot. HOWEVER, this one is different. Pattinson wears the cowl this time and his Batman is striking, and his Gotham is more grounded in the real world. Is it better than Nolan's The Dark Knight? Well, we discuss that, of course, along with with everything from Greig Fraser's astounding cinematography to Michael Giacchino's brilliant scoring, to all of the little things like Batman gadgets, Kravitz's Catwoman, and so much more.

In our review and conversation of Ridley Scott's latest film, The Last Duel, we're heading back 14th century France to witness three accounts of Jean de Carrouges, Jacque le Gris, and Marguerite, and in the process, make our own assumptions of who is telling the truth. In the end, the truth will be revealed by God as we witness a trial by combat between de Carrouges and le Gris that will determine the fate of Marguerite. This film is full of subtle performances, precise direction, and attention to detail. We're discussing much of this film from both a filmmaking and storytelling perspective so join us for a great conversation about this film! ► Follow us on Letterbox'd      ► https://letterboxd.com/josiahblizzard/      ► https://letterboxd.com/johndoyle/ ► Send in a voice message, question, or request here: https://anchor.fm/racking-focus-podcast/message Remember to write us a review at Apple Podcasts and to email us at [email protected] with comments, suggestions and films you have for us to review.

SPOILERS EVERYWHERE! We are discussing Season 2, episodes 6 and 7. We'll recap the entirety of it and have a great time talking all things Witcher. Those things include things like... the massive reveal at the end, who hired Reince, who were those riders in the desert, and what is with all the monoliths? Josiah has read the books and played countless hours in Witcher 3 and therefore, may end up merging or confusing what happens in each as it relates to the show. John has read through Blood of Elves and that is the extent of his knowledge of the source material. We're hoping that this makes for some very different outlooks on the show and for a good discussion.
