Breaking down all things pop culture

It’s the first What The Hell Should I Watch of the year, and I’m opening things up with a stacked slate of new releases, some wildly different genre swings, and a solid round of reminders as we look ahead to what’s coming next. I kick things off with Marty Supreme, digging into where it lands …

It’s a special Boxing Day episode of What The Hell Should I Watch, and we’re closing out the year in a big way. I lead things off with my full review of Avatar: Fire and Ash, digging into where this chapter lands in James Cameron’s ever-expanding Pandora saga. I get into the scale, the storytelling …

It’s that time of year again on The Night Shift with Shane Hewitt — welcome to the 5th Annual Stebbie Awards, my completely unofficial, deeply subjective, and wildly personal look back at the movies and performances that defined my year in film.

Welcome back to What The Hell Should I Watch. This week’s lineup spans dystopian violence, magic-heist fatigue, creeping psychological terror, neon-lit sci-fi, small-town paranoia, and a Western misfire that did not land for me. Let’s get into it. We kick things off with The Running Man, Edgar Wright’s adaptation of the original Stephen King/Richard Bachman …

Hey everyone — Steve Stebbing here with another episode of What The Hell Should I Watch, and this week we’re running the gamut from alien bloodsport to emotional breakdowns, bizarre satire, and one creepy found-footage nightmare. We start with Dan Trachtenberg’s Predator: Badlands — a bold reinvention that takes the franchise off-world and onto a …
