The YRF Spy Universe is my Fast Franchise. It’s over-the-top and filled with action in the exact way I like. I recently checked out Tiger 3 and recorded a bite-sized review.

Quick thoughts on ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’
I had the chance to review the new Martin Scorsese film Killers of the Flower Moon for Trashwire. This movie is long and the subject matter is difficult, but I was fully engrossed throughout the three-and-a-half-hour runtime.
Most surprising was that I didn’t love Leonardo DiCaprio’s performance. Something about it just didn’t click for me. Maybe it was the fake teeth, maybe the fact that everyone kept referring to him as “son” or “that boy” when we all know he’s almost 50, but there were a few times when he kind of took me out of the movie.
Lily Gladstone was the standout and she is incredible! I certainly hope she’s in the awards conversation this year.
Here are my quick thoughts on Tiktok. My full review is on Trashwire here and you can follow me on Letterboxd right here to see what I’m watching.
The new Wes Anderson Roald Dahl short films are great!
There has been way too little press or marketing effort put into the new short films from Wes Anderson based on the stories of Roald Dahl. These four short films are streaming right now on Netflix and they’re all absolutely worth checking out. I made a short video about them, but I’m still trying to decide which one I like the most because I really dug all of them.

I loved ‘The Creator’
I had the opportunity to see the new Gareth Edwards film The Creator and I loved it. It’s fantastic to see original sci-fi stories that look this good with a budget of only $80 million! My friend Leo from Geekly Goods and I talked about it on the Whatcha Watchin podcast, which you can check out on Trashwire or here.

A few recent bite-sized movie reviews
I’ve been catching up on new movies lately and created a whole bunch of bite-sized reviews for them over on TikTok and Instagram but I figured I would share them here too.
First up is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, which I loved. The animation, writing, and runtime put this just above Across the Spider-Verse for me.
Next, we have Cassandro, which features Gael García Bernal in an award-worthy performance that I hope scores him a few nominations.
And most recently, I saw Dumb Money, which will now go on my list of things I begrudgingly enjoyed Pete Davidson in.
If you’ve seen any of these movies, hit me up on Bluesky, TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube to tell me what you thought of them.
