I take a deep look at my feelings on Moonlight, which definitely perplexed me as to what I should rate it. I compare it to Carol and Steve Jobs, noting the pluses and minuses for each comparison.

I do an immediate review of Hacksaw Ridge, Mel Gibson’s latest directorial effort, today on my way home from the theater. Also, note the different intro! There will be a general episode soon to address a few changes I’ve made to some of the intro media and a whole new category of episode, as well. My apologies for any scraping noises or otherwise bad audio. I did my best to clean up the audio track and make it as coherent as I could.

Today, I check in with the two biggest releases of the weekend with Trolls and Doctor Strange. No overt spoilers to be found, but some general and vague ones if you’ve seen any other MCU film before Doctor Strange or generic animated kids movie before Trolls. Check below for how far to skip ahead if you’re only interested in the Doctor Strange portion of the episode!

Review #3: Supersonic: The Oasis Documentary
Today, I take a few minutes on my walk home to go into my immediate reaction to this documentary about a band that I’ve always liked, but didn’t have any background knowledge on prior to the doc. This episode is recorded on my phone, so allow for a little dip in quality, and outside. Also, right at the end, there’s a surprise guest star in the form of the Circle of Film Podcast’s new unofficial host, Simba.

Today’s review is for the new Zach Galifianakis movie, Keeping Up with the Joneses. Spoiler: This one doesn’t get the rave reviews that I gave American Honey. This will be the last review episode that only deals with the titular film. Going forward, the review episodes will incorporate the format I mentioned in the American Honey description: first half for smaller snippets and second half for the primary review.

Review #1: American Honey
I give a brief response to Andrea Arnold’s new feature film starring Shia LaBeouf. In hindsight, I’m hoping to make these episodes about twice this length and feature a broader scope of review in the beginning of smaller things I’ve seen before transitioning into the primary review for the second half of the episode. I’ve also decided that it takes far too long to edit these episodes beyond the major things between actually recording them, working a full time job, and watching all of the films that I watch. So, for the time being, the best I can do is noise reduction on the obnoxiously loud whirring sounds that emit from my desktop computer.
