Our Take

★★★★☆ 4/5

I’ve been a fan of this franchise for as long as I can remember, and honestly, I think this is the sequel Wes Craven would’ve smiled at. It really walks the line well, paying respect to the original while poking smart fun at modern horror trends and obsessive fandoms. The kills are sharp, the mystery holds up, and it’s the most fun I’ve had with a Ghostface movie in decades.

Our Take

★★★★★ 5/5

Anything with David Attenborough gets my full attention. These documentaries aren’t just beautiful. They carry real weight. I always come away from them feeling something. Awe, urgency, sometimes guilt. For me, this is what documentary should be. Honest, moving, and impossible to ignore.

Our Take

★★★★☆ 4/5

The first season was one of the smartest crime dramas I’ve seen in a while. It was tense without being flashy. The acting was excellent across the board. I’m really hoping season two keeps that same grounded tone. If you like stories about heists that go beyond the surface, this one’s worth following.

Our Take

★★★★☆ 4/5

This is exactly the kind of kids' show I respect. It doesn’t talk down to its audience, and I really love how it weaves actual zoological facts into stories that are fun but never chaotic. It’s calm, clever, and genuinely educational. As a parent, I think this is one of the best options out there if you want your kids to learn something without losing their attention.

🎬 Action, Animation, Adventure, Sport | 📍 Japan | 🗣️ Japanese

🎥 Directed by: Katsuhito Akiyama, Moto Terada
🎭 Cast: Soma Saito, Shuichiro Umeda, Kaito Ishikawa, Mariya Ise

Our Take

★★★☆☆ 3/5

This one is straight-up built for hype, and it totally delivers for the crowd it's aimed at. The new X-Dash gimmick adds real speed and intensity to the matches, and yeah, it’s fun to watch. That said, the story barely holds things together. But I mean, if you're here for layered plot, you're kind of missing the point. It's about tops smashing into each other, and on that front, it rules.
Families Like Ours
Netflix
Miniseries | Jun 10, 2025

Directed by Oscar-winner Thomas Vinterberg, this emotionally charged miniseries takes place in a near-future Denmark struggling with rising sea levels. As widespread flooding forces the population to leave their homes, the story follows several families as they face separation, loss, and uncertainty. Through intimate storytelling, the series captures the human cost of environmental change and highlights the strength of family ties during times of upheaval. It’s a powerful reflection on identity, belonging, and the meaning of home when everything familiar starts to disappear.

🎬 Drama, Sci-Fi | 📍 Denmark | 🗣️ Danish

🎥 Directed by: Thomas Vinterberg
🎭 Cast: Amaryllis August, Albert Rudbeck Lindhardt, Nikolaj Lie Kaas, Paprika Steen

Our Take

★★★★☆ 4.5/5

With Thomas Vinterberg directing, I expected something bold, and that’s exactly what this is. I found the premise completely gripping. It flips the typical refugee narrative on its head, and I don’t think it lets anyone off the hook emotionally. For me, this was a rare piece of sci-fi that actually challenged how I think, not just how I feel. I’d recommend it to anyone who wants more than just escapism from their dramas.
Trainwreck: The Astroworld Tragedy
Netflix

The film presents firsthand accounts from survivors, emergency responders, and event staff, piecing together the night’s timeline. Beyond recounting the facts, it raises urgent questions about concert safety and accountability, offering a sobering look at how a celebration turned into one of the most devastating live music tragedies in recent memory.

🎬 Documentary, Crime | 📍 United States | 🗣️ English

🎥 Directed by: Yemi Bamiro
🎭 Cast: Travis Scott, Survivors, Paramedics, Security Staff

Our Take

★★★★☆ 4/5

This didn’t feel like a documentary made to entertain. To me, it felt like a serious piece of investigative work. What stuck with me most was the focus on survivors—those personal accounts were hard to hear, but that’s exactly why it mattered. I think the way it avoids sensationalism is what gives it real weight. It’s not easy to watch, but I believe it’s necessary.
Call Her Alex: Complete Docuseries
Hulu

The series captures how she built a platform where women feel empowered to speak openly about sex, relationships, and self-worth. It’s a portrait of resilience, ambition, and the evolution of a young creator turned media powerhouse.

🎬 Documentary, Biography | 📍 United States | 🗣️ English

🎥 Directed by: Ry Russo-Young
🎭 Cast: Alex Cooper

Our Take

★★☆☆☆ 2/5

This feels more like brand curation than real biography. Sure, it gives you a look at how she built her media empire, and there's some value in that. But I couldn’t shake the feeling that it avoids the tougher questions. If you’re already a fan, it’ll probably hit right. For me, though, it just doesn’t go deep enough to be memorable.
And Then We Danced
Hulu
Movie | Jun 10, 2025

Merab is a dedicated young dancer training tirelessly at the National Georgian Ensemble, hoping to earn his place in the traditional world of Georgian dance.

🎬 Drama, Romance | 📍 Sweden | 🗣️ Georgian

🎥 Directed by: Levan Akin
🎭 Cast: Levan Gelbakhiani, Bachi Valishvili, Ana Javakhishvili

Our Take

★★★★☆ 4.5/5

What a beautiful, defiant film. Levan Gelbakhiani gives one of those performances that says everything without needing much dialogue. The way he moves, the way he holds back—it all hit me pretty hard. I think it’s a must-watch, not just as a queer love story, but as a statement about carving out space for yourself in a world that won’t easily make room.
Clifford the Big Red Dog
Hulu
Movie | Jun 10, 2025

Emily Elizabeth is a lonely middle school student trying to find her place in the world. Everything changes when she meets a mysterious animal rescuer who gives her a tiny red puppy, with the promise that he will grow in size depending on how much she loves him.

🎬 Family, Adventure, Comedy | 📍 United States | 🗣️ English

🎥 Directed by: Walt Becker
🎭 Cast: Jack Whitehall, Darby Camp, Tony Hale, Sienna Guillory, John Cleese

Our Take

★★★☆☆ 3/5

It’s a simple movie, and it doesn’t try to be anything else. I actually appreciated that. There’s a lot of heart here, and while the CGI gets weird sometimes, it never gets in the way of the story. I’d call it a solid family film. Kids will love it, and adults probably won’t mind sitting through it either.

🎬 Drama, Romance, Reality, Comedy | 📍 United States | 🗣️ English

🎥 Directed by: Unknown
🎭 Cast: Deanne Black

Our Take

★★★☆☆ 3/5

The premise definitely grabs attention, and I’ll admit I’m curious. This could either be something really thoughtful or it could end up leaning into shock value. I’m hoping for the former. If it handles the subject matter with care, there’s a lot of room here for something meaningful. I’m watching it with some hesitation, but also with real interest.
Aniela
Netflix
TV Series | Jun 11, 2025

Set in modern-day Poland, this character-driven drama follows Aniela, a woman whose carefully structured life unravels overnight. As she faces unexpected challenges, Aniela is pushed to reevaluate her choices, confront long-avoided truths, and navigate complex family dynamics.

It’s a story about rediscovering joy, adapting to change, and finding clarity in the chaos of everyday life.

🎬 Comedy, Drama | 📍 Poland | 🗣️ Polish

🎥 Directed by: Jakub Piątek, Kuba Czekaj
🎭 Cast: Małgorzata Kożuchowska, Jacek Poniedziałek, Cezary Pazura, Gabriela Muskała, Filip Pławiak, Renata Dancewicz

Our Take

★★★☆☆ 3.5/5

I didn’t expect to enjoy this as much as I did. The lead actress completely carries the show, and I was drawn in by how quietly honest her story felt. It’s not flashy or groundbreaking, and the plot is familiar in places, but I think the writing has a dry sharpness that works. There’s this mix of humor and melancholy that really clicked with me. I’ve seen shows try that tone and miss, but this one gets it right.
Cheers to Life
Netflix
Movie | Jun 11, 2025

It offers a heartfelt and thoughtful viewing experience that resonates with anyone who has ever questioned the path they’re on.

🎬 Comedy, Drama, Romance | 📍 Brazil | 🗣️ Portuguese

🎥 Directed by: Cris D'Amato
🎭 Cast: Thati Lopes, Regina Braga, Jonas Bloch

Our Take

★★☆☆☆ 2.5/5

This is one of those movies I put on when I didn’t want anything heavy. And it delivered exactly that. I liked the scenery, and the main performance is charming enough, but the story? It’s completely predictable. For me, it was nice background viewing on a lazy evening, but nothing I’d remember the next day. Sometimes that’s fine too.
Cocaine Air: Smugglers at 30,000 Ft
Netflix
Documentary | Jun 11, 2025

This intense documentary takes viewers into the rarely seen world of aerial drug trafficking. With a focus on the high risks and complex strategies used by international smuggling networks, the series uncovers how drugs are moved across borders using planes, drones, and other airborne methods. Interviews with law enforcement officials, former traffickers, and investigative journalists offer a comprehensive look at the dangerous game of evasion and enforcement. It’s a gripping examination of a covert operation happening far above our heads.

🎬 Documentary, Crime | 📍 France | 🗣️ English

🎥 Directed by: Stéphane Rybojad, Thomas Dandois, Maxime Bonnet, Jérôme Pierrat
🎭 Cast: Interviewees, Real-life individuals

Our Take

★★★★☆ 4/5

This was wild. I love true crime, and I’ve seen a lot, but this story felt especially surreal. What pulled me in was the mystery around whether the pilots knew what they were transporting. That moral gray area made it way more than just another smuggling tale. I thought the interviews were well done and the pacing really kept things moving. For me, it’s easily one of the more gripping crime docs I’ve seen this year.
Our Times
Netflix
Movie | Jun 11, 2025

In this imaginative time-travel story, two brilliant scientists from 1966 are suddenly transported to the year 2025. As they attempt to understand the unfamiliar world around them, their relationship begins to shift in unexpected ways. Nora quickly embraces a future where her skills are recognized and her independence is valued, while Héctor struggles to find his footing. Torn between love and opportunity, Nora faces a powerful choice that could change her life forever. The series blends science fiction with emotional depth, offering a thought-provoking look at change, identity, and the future of equality.

🎬 Romance, Comedy, Sci-Fi | 📍 Mexico | 🗣️ Spanish

🎥 Directed by: Chava Cartas
🎭 Cast: Lucero, Benny Ibarra

Our Take

★★☆☆☆ 2/5

The premise really grabbed me, and I thought the two leads had great chemistry, but I was disappointed by how it all played out. The movie hints at interesting themes around gender roles and social expectations, but it never really commits to exploring them. Instead, it leans on broad comedy and a script that feels half-baked. For me, it’s one of those films where the concept deserved a lot more than it got.
Titan: The OceanGate Disaster
Netflix
Documentary | Jun 11, 2025

This investigative documentary explores the tragic implosion of the Titan submersible during its mission to the site of the Titanic wreck. With a careful breakdown of the timeline, expert insights, and firsthand accounts, the film examines the technical and human factors behind the fatal incident. It sheds light on safety warnings that went unheeded, the race to rescue the crew, and the lasting impact of the tragedy on deep-sea exploration. The result is a sobering and informative portrait of one of the most shocking maritime events in recent history.

🎬 Documentary, History, Thriller | 📍 United States | 🗣️ English

🎥 Directed by: Mark Monroe
🎭 Cast: Interviewees, Experts

Our Take

★★★★☆ 4.5/5

This is one of the most compelling documentaries I’ve seen in a while. Even though we all know how it ends, the way it builds tension is incredibly effective. I was struck by how carefully it lays out the warning signs and expert concerns that were ignored. For me, it’s not just about the tragedy itself but about the mindset that led to it. I think anyone interested in technology, risk, or human ego needs to see this.
The Snake
Hulu
TV Series | Jun 11, 2025

In this reality competition series hosted by Jim Jefferies, fifteen contestants from professions that rely on charm and persuasion are thrown into a high-stakes social game. Competing for a $100,000 prize, they must build alliances, manipulate rivals, and outwit each other through a series of strategic challenges. At the end of each round, one player is secretly named “The Snake,” gaining the power to influence who stays and who goes. With deception and trust constantly in play, no one is safe for long.

🎬 Reality, Thriller | 📍 United States | 🗣️ English

🎥 Directed by: SallyAnn Salsano
🎭 Cast: Jim Jefferies

Our Take

★★★☆☆ 3.5/5

After the success of The Traitors, you can tell every network wants their own hit. This could be it. The idea of using trained persuaders is a smart twist, and Jim Jefferies brings the perfect dry bite to it all. Personally, I’m looking forward to watching the lies pile up. It’s shaping up to be chaotic, and I mean that in the best possible way.
Gran Turismo
Hulu
Movie | Jun 11, 2025

Inspired by a true story, this film follows Jann Mardenborough, a teenager whose skill in the Gran Turismo video game unexpectedly propels him into the world of professional racing. Despite doubts from critics and the pressure of real-world competition, Jann turns virtual practice into real-life performance on the track. His journey from gamer to elite driver is filled with obstacles and triumphs, showcasing how passion and determination can turn even the most unlikely dreams into reality.

🎬 Action, Sport, Drama, Biography | 📍 United States | 🗣️ English

🎥 Directed by: Neill Blomkamp
🎭 Cast: Archie Madekwe, David Harbour, Orlando Bloom, Darren Barnet, Geri Halliwell Horner, Djimon Hounsou

Our Take

★★★★☆ 4/5

This movie had no business being this good. What starts as a video game adaptation turns into a proper sports drama that’s actually thrilling and, yeah, surprisingly emotional. David Harbour steals every scene, and the racing feels visceral in the best way. For me, it’s worth watching just for the sound design alone. That part really stuck with me.
Guy's Grocery Games, Season 38
HBO Max
TV Series | Jun 11, 2025

Hosted by Guy Fieri, this fast-moving cooking competition puts four chefs to the test inside a fully stocked supermarket. Each round brings unexpected curveballs, from budget limits to quirky ingredient swaps, forcing the chefs to improvise under pressure.

🎬 Sport, Family, Documentary, Comedy | 📍 United States | 🗣️ English

🎥 Directed by: Unknown
🎭 Cast: Guy Fieri

Our Take

★★★☆☆ 3/5

This show is basically food TV comfort. The setup is simple, but it keeps delivering. I’ve got a soft spot for the chaos of Flavortown and Guy’s over-the-top enthusiasm. It’s fun, it’s familiar, and honestly, sometimes that’s exactly what I want after a long day. Not every show needs to reinvent the wheel.

Our Take

★★☆☆☆ 2/5

I’ve tried to get into the live-action version, but something about it just doesn’t click. The speed and absurdity that worked in the cartoon feel kind of awkward with real actors. Young fans might still enjoy it. Personally, I think the animated version had a very specific charm that’s missing here.

Netflix
TV Series | Jun 12, 2025

Hazel Wells returns for another round of magical mischief in the second season of this animated favorite. Still adjusting to life in Dimmsdale, Hazel leans on her fairy godparents, Wanda and Cosmo, whose unpredictable magic leads to hilarious and chaotic results. From battling rock creatures to making wishes that go wildly off track, each episode delivers new laughs and fantastical surprises. It’s a playful, colorful ride that brings a fresh twist to the charm fans have loved for years.

🎬 Animation, Family, Comedy, Fantasy | 📍 United States | 🗣️ English

🎥 Directed by: Fred Seibert, Butch Hartman
🎭 Cast: Susanne Blakeslee, Tara Strong, Ashleigh Crystal Hairston, Daran Norris

Our Take

★★★☆☆ 3/5

This reboot hasn’t fully figured itself out yet, but I still found it pretty enjoyable. I do miss Timmy’s chaotic energy, and I don’t think the new setup is quite as sharp, but Hazel is likable and Cosmo and Wanda are still fun to watch. For me, it’s not perfect, but it’s got enough of the original charm to make it work, especially for younger viewers coming in fresh.
Fubar: Season 2
Netflix
TV Series | Jun 12, 2025

Arnold Schwarzenegger steps back into action as the unconventional CIA agent in the second season of this fast-paced spy comedy. The story continues to follow a father and daughter team juggling top-secret missions with their often complicated family dynamic. As the stakes rise, so do the laughs, with explosive scenes, sharp dialogue, and unexpected emotional turns. Whether facing off against villains or confronting personal dilemmas, the duo proves that saving the world sometimes requires a little family teamwork.

🎬 Action, Comedy | 📍 United States | 🗣️ English

🎥 Directed by: Nick Santora
🎭 Cast: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Monica Barbaro, Milan Carter, Fortune Feimster, Travis Van Winkle, Fabiana Udenio, Jay Baruchel, Andy Buckley

Our Take

★★☆☆☆ 2.5/5

Arnold still has presence, no doubt, but for me, that only goes so far. The second season feels like it’s going through the motions. The jokes are familiar, and the emotional moments between the father and daughter characters just don’t land. I think if you're looking for something loud and mindless, it’ll do the trick. Personally, though, I found it kind of tired.
Plane
Netflix

In this high-stakes action thriller, commercial pilot Brodie Torrance is forced to crash-land his plane during a violent storm, only to find himself and his passengers stranded on a volatile island torn apart by conflict.

🎬 Action, Thriller | 📍 United States | 🗣️ English

🎥 Directed by: Jean-François Richet
🎭 Cast: Gerard Butler, Mike Colter, Yoson An, Daniella Pineda, Tony Goldwyn

Our Take

★★★☆☆ 3.5/5

This is exactly what I want from a mid-budget action movie. It’s simple, fast, and doesn’t waste time trying to be anything it’s not. I thought Gerard Butler and Mike Colter made a great team, and the pacing never dragged. For me, this is the kind of movie you throw on when you want something direct and satisfying without having to think too hard. It knows what it is, and it delivers.

Seizing the moment, they dive headfirst into a world of heists and gang rivalries, pretending to be professionals while chaos unfolds around them. What begins as an act soon becomes a wild adventure filled with unpredictable turns. This fast-paced comedy delivers a blend of offbeat humor and action, as an unlikely crew learns what it takes to survive in the most unexpected of circumstances.

🎬 Action, Comedy, Thriller | 📍 United Kingdom | 🗣️ English

🎥 Directed by: Tom Kingsley
🎭 Cast: Bryce Dallas Howard, Orlando Bloom, Sean Bean, Ian McShane

Our Take

★★★☆☆ 3/5

The cast is a dream, and seeing Orlando Bloom in a comedic role is genuinely fun. Still, I couldn’t help feeling like the movie played it too safe. The idea of an improv group tangled up in crime sounds wild, but the film often sticks to familiar territory. It’s a light, enjoyable watch, but I was hoping for something bolder.
American Thunder: NASCAR to Le Mans

The film captures the passion, precision, and teamwork behind this ambitious effort, spotlighting the people who helped bring American racing to a global stage.

🎬 Documentary, Sport | 📍 United States | 🗣️ English

🎥 Directed by: Brad Lockhart
🎭 Cast: Jenson Button, Jimmie Johnson, Jordan Taylor, Mike Rockenfeller

Our Take

★★★★☆ 4.5/5

You don’t need to be into racing to enjoy this. At its core, it's an underdog story full of risk, heart, and determination. The Garage 56 project is crazy in the best way. For me, this is one of those rare sports documentaries that really sticks. It’s about racing, yes, but more than that, it’s about what people can do when they believe in something impossible.
The 1% Club: Season 2
Hulu
TV Series | Jun 12, 2025

In this fast-paced game show, one hundred contestants face off in a series of questions that challenge logic, reasoning, and common sense. Each question is based on real data about what percentage of Americans answered correctly, with difficulty increasing over time. The goal is to solve the kinds of problems that only one percent of the population can figure out. Those who make it to the end have a shot at winning up to $100,000, but only the sharpest minds will make it that far.

🎬 Reality | 📍 United States | 🗣️ English

🎥 Directed by: Carrie Havel
🎭 Cast: Joel McHale

Our Take

★★★☆☆ 3.5/5

This one’s a nice break from the usual trivia game shows. The focus on logic puzzles and common sense questions makes it way more fun to play along with. I’ve got to say, Joel McHale fits this format way better than Patton Oswalt did in season one. His dry energy gives the whole thing more bite, and for me, that shift made all the difference.

Our Take

★★★☆☆ 3.5/5

Even if you don’t care much about cars, this show is hard to ignore. The level of detail and creativity that goes into each build is just impressive. What I like is that it focuses more on the process than the drama. Watching the team turn something beat-up into something beautiful is always satisfying. For me, this is more about the craftsmanship than the cars, and that’s what keeps it interesting.

Our Take

★★★☆☆ 3/5

This one’s really sweet. The story is simple but meaningful, helping kids deal with fear in a gentle, reassuring way. I think it's perfect for younger viewers, especially with all the color and music the show’s known for. It’s not going to do much for adults, but for what it is, it hits the mark with a lot of heart.

Our Take

★★★☆☆ 3/5

This show still looks incredible. The production design, the vibe, the pacing. All of it feels sleek. But personally, I think the supernatural parts get in the way. When it leans into the mystical, it pulls me out of what could have been a strong crime story. I'm still waiting for the emotional moments to land as hard as the action.

Our Take

★★☆☆☆ 2.5/5

You already know what this is. It's dramatic, loud, and completely over the top in all the expected ways. For me, the format is starting to feel a bit tired. But if you're looking for something messy and mindless, it absolutely delivers. It's junk food TV, and sometimes that's exactly what hits the spot.

Our Take

★★★☆☆ 3.5/5

What stood out to me was the focus on the victim instead of just the scammer. That shift makes it feel more human and less like just another crime story. There’s a strange tone here, part emotional, part darkly funny, and it somehow works. I didn’t expect to care this much, but it really pulled me in.

Hulu
Special | Jun 13, 2025

In this lively stand-up special, Atsuko Okatsuka shares her offbeat reflections on life, from going seven years without doing laundry to discovering that a marriage license comes before the wedding itself. With her trademark deadpan delivery and quirky charm, she explores the contrast between professional success and personal cluelessness. Whether tackling the absurdities of adulthood or her own role as the responsible one in the family, Atsuko delivers laughs with wit, warmth, and a fresh point of view.

🎬 Comedy | 📍 United States | 🗣️ English

🎥 Directed by: Ryan Harper Gray
🎭 Cast: Atsuko Okatsuka

Our Take

★★★★☆ 4/5

Atsuko’s humor is always offbeat in the best way, but what makes this special stand out is how deeply personal it is. She pulls laughs from some tough family memories, and somehow it never feels bitter. I honestly think she’s one of the most distinctive voices in comedy right now. There’s nobody else quite like her.
Absolution

Movie | Jun 13, 2025

An aging mobster attempts to rebuild bridges with the children he pushed away years ago, hoping to leave his violent past behind. But walking away from the life is never easy.

🎬 Drama, Crime, Thriller, Mystery | 📍 United States | 🗣️ English

🎥 Directed by: Hans Petter Moland
🎭 Cast: Liam Neeson, Ron Perlman, Yolonda Ross, Daniel Diemer, Frankie Shaw, Jimmy Gonzales

Our Take

★★☆☆☆ 2/5

I wanted to like this more than I did. I respect the effort to give Liam Neeson something moodier and more introspective, but for me, the whole thing drags. It’s slow without being meaningful, and the story never really goes anywhere. If you’re expecting classic Neeson action, this isn’t it. But even as a drama, it didn’t land for me.

Suspended on the outside of the building, a former soldier now working as a window cleaner finds herself the only hope for those trapped inside — including her younger brother.

This adrenaline-fueled thriller turns a city skyline into the stage for a gripping vertical rescue mission.

🎬 Action, Thriller | 📍 United Kingdom | 🗣️ English

🎥 Directed by: Martin Campbell
🎭 Cast: Daisy Ridley, Clive Owen, Taz Skylar

Our Take

★★★☆☆ 3.5/5

This has the kind of premise I get excited about. A window-washing platform turned into an action set? That’s bold. With Martin Campbell behind the camera and Daisy Ridley leading, I’m genuinely hopeful this turns out to be something special. I’m always drawn to tight, high-concept action films like this, and this one has real potential.

🎬 Documentary, Family | 📍 United States | 🗣️ English

🎥 Directed by: Unknown

Our Take

★★☆☆☆ 2.5/5

At this point, House Hunters is basically TV wallpaper. It’s everywhere, always on, and weirdly addictive. I’ll be honest, I think the formula wore out a long time ago. But even when I roll my eyes at the setup, I still find myself watching. There’s something oddly calming about it, even if it feels the same every time.

🎬 Documentary, Family | 📍 United States | 🗣️ English

🎥 Directed by: Unknown
🎭 Cast: Chase Morrill, Ashley Morrill, Ryan Eldridge

Our Take

★★★☆☆ 3/5

What I like about this show is that it feels more real than most home renovation stuff. The cabins, the crew, the whole vibe is just more grounded. It’s not flashy or over-produced. I find it really satisfying to watch them figure things out with actual skill, not just throw money at problems. It’s low-key, but that’s part of the charm.

🎭 Cast: Teresa Saponangelo, Flavio Furno, Chiara Celotto

Our Take

★★★☆☆ 3.5/5

This looks like it could be a strong mix of action and emotion. The setup is familiar — a retired agent pulled back into danger — but the personal angle gives it weight. What I’m most curious about is how well it balances the conspiracy with the emotional core. If it pulls that off, I think this could really stand out.

Our Take

★★★☆☆ 3.5/5

This show is so peaceful. It leans into that old-fashioned, gentle kind of storytelling that you don’t see much anymore. The animation is lovely, and the tone is soft and calm — just right for winding down. I think it’s perfect for young kids, especially right before bed. Honestly, I found it kind of soothing myself.

🎥 Directed by: Michael Pearce
🎭 Cast: Julianne Moore, Sydney Sweeney, Domhnall Gleeson, Kyle MacLachlan, Fiona Shaw, Edmund Donovan, Rebecca Creskoff

Our Take

★★★★☆ 4/5

Julianne Moore and Sydney Sweeney in a psychological thriller. That alone makes this something I have to see. I’ve always been drawn to slow-burn stories that focus more on people than on jump scares. With Apple TV Plus behind it, I’m expecting something intense and emotional. It feels like it’s going to explore the kind of choices a parent makes when they’re out of options.

It’s a joyful celebration of childhood wonder and the limitless potential of make-believe.

Our Take

★★★★☆ 4/5

This is exactly the kind of kids’ show I wish there were more of. It’s soft and simple. It encourages imagination without shouting every second. I personally love how it reminds kids that adventure doesn’t need batteries or buttons. Just a cardboard box and a good idea can be enough.

It’s kind of amazing this show is still going. Even more amazing that it’s still funny. Lee Mack’s timing is perfect. I love how it never tries to be anything other than what it is. I personally find comfort in that. It’s fast and silly. Full of proper jokes. Sometimes that’s exactly what I need at the end of the day.

I haven’t followed Grey’s for years, but I’ve got to admit it’s impressive that the show is still going this strong. There’s something about its mix of hospital drama and tangled relationships that keeps people coming back. For longtime fans, it still offers that familiar mix of comfort and chaos.

🎬 Reality, Romance, Drama | 📍 United Kingdom | 🗣️ English

🎥 Directed by: Murray Boland, Dermot Caulfield, Danielle Lux, Emma Jones

Our Take

★★★☆☆ 3/5

The UK version takes the same wild setup and gives it a gentler twist. I like that. The British cast brings a sort of dry, deadpan charm that plays really differently from the American version. It’s still messy, of course, but there’s something more grounded about it. I found it oddly soothing, in its own awkward way.

There’s a reason this show keeps going after so many seasons. The formula just works. Guy Fieri brings the same high energy every time, and the challenges are still creative enough to stay fun. For me, it’s the perfect background show. Low stakes, easy to follow, and oddly comforting. I always end up watching more episodes than I meant to.

🎬 Documentary, Crime, Mystery, Thriller | 📍 United States | 🗣️ English

🎥 Directed by: Knute Walker

Our Take

★★☆☆☆ 2.5/5

This one fits right into the typical true crime mold. The cases are interesting enough, but the reenactments feel a little outdated to me. I usually prefer a more documentary-style approach, something that feels a bit more grounded. Fans of the genre will probably still enjoy it, but personally, I didn’t find much that made it stand out.
Joel McHale: Live from Pyongyang
Hulu
Special | Jun 14, 2025

In this no-holds-barred comedy special, Joel McHale delivers his signature blend of sarcasm, self-deprecation, and social commentary. From bizarre personal stories like feeding alligators to sharp jabs at pop culture, McHale keeps the audience laughing throughout. Though the title teases a different setting, the show was filmed in San Jose, where McHale’s quick wit and playful energy are fully on display.

🎬 Comedy | 📍 United States | 🗣️ English

🎥 Directed by: Brian Volk-Weiss
🎭 Cast: Joel McHale

Our Take

★★☆☆☆ 2.5/5

As someone who loved Joel on Community and The Soup, I was hoping this would really land. It doesn’t quite. The tone is familiar, and the delivery is solid, but a lot of the material feels recycled or too safe. It’s fine if you’re already a fan and just want to hang out in his voice for an hour, but I don’t think it holds up as a great stand-up special on its own.
