Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy fly solo on most of the movies this week, but they still have nine titles to talk about. Lena Headey discovers she may have created the bullet that killed her son (Ballistic). A strange friendship develops between two disparate young men when one tries to maybe stop the other from committing a school shooting (Our Hero, Balthazar). Barbie Ferreira plays a music critic who gets involved with the band she is covering (Mile End Kicks). The latest comedy from Peter Farrelly has Mark Wahlberg and Paul Walter Hauser as the creators of a very unusual condom (Balls Up). Keanu Reeves is a Hollywood star trying to prevent an embarrassing video from getting out (Outcome). There’s a documentary about the creator of Saturday Night Live (Lorne). Bob Odenkirk is in action mode again taking on a whole town in the latest from Ben Wheatley (Normal). Steven Soderbergh’s latest has Ian McKellen as an artist who hires a forger to finish his paintings (The Christophers). Finally, the director of Evil Dead Rise gets his name above the familiar title of his even more familiar horror film. (Lee Cronin’s The Mummy).

Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski have a lot to say about this week’s batch of physical media. Maybe not as much as the most successful franchise entry amongst them, but certainly about Ernst Libitsch’s romantic comedy about thieves in love. Most definitely about Monty Python’s religious-skewering masterpiece. But there is also the troubled transports carrying George Kennedy and the out-of-control one that ranks as one of the great action films of the 1980s. An obscure, hard-to-find comedy about UFO seekers is the first of two Fred Ward headliners this week which leads into two films the guys have some fondness for including Orion’s attempt at an American James Bond and one of the very first masked do-gooders.

It’s a light week for physical media but that doesn’t mean that Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski don’t have you covered. There is one of the great film noirs, particularly for fans of The Shawshank Redemption. A magnificent wonder in fantasy filmmaking from over a century ago that looks better than many films today. Meiko Kaji’s martial arts double feature gets the Arrow treatment. Finally, exploitation fans will have a field day this week with the essential Russ Meyer film as well as the film personally endorsed by none other than Bill Murray.

Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy review six movies this week. Erik looks at a Netflix true crime documentary about the murder of a rising cyclist (The Truth and Tragedy of Moriah Wilson) as well as a couple trying to re-ignite a passion they moved on from (A Love Like This). There is a comedy about the friendship that develops between an aging actress and the unemployed neurotic who becomes her nanny (Fantasy Life). Two roommates sample a synthetic drug and only food can save them from the wacky side effects (Pizza Movie). The billion dollar Nintendo franchise returns with a sequel (The Super Mario Galaxy Movie). Finally Zendaya’s secret may be enough to ruin her engagement to Robert Pattinson (The Drama).

Leading a very classic and cult-like week in physical media, Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski have got you covered. Unlike Madonna. It’s a week filled Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers and Bob Hope (including one of our Why-Is-This-Not-On-Blu-Ray titles). There is also James Caan at his best, Jamie Foxx winning an Oscar and some cool martial arts titles. Dustin Hoffman trying to stop a virus, Ernest Borgnine trying to summon Satan and Adam Sandler as the son of said Satan. You also have an upgrade for Tobe Hooper’s Stephen King adaptation. And getting back to Madonna, the guys can’t help talk about the crazy, ridiculous erotic thriller now available in all its unrated 4K glory.

Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy have a busy, if not a great week, with 11 movie reviews for you. If documentaries are what you crave Steve has a trio for you with a potentially soon-to-be-outdated tale of how we’re all going to die (The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptomist), one about a legendary rocker of the ‘80s (Billy Idol Should Be Dead) and another about a famed fashion designer by a Coppola or (Marc by Sofia). He also looks at the latest animated work from the creator of The Triplets of Belleville (A Magnificent Life). Marisa Tomei tries to prevent her daughter from making a big mistake (You’re Dating a Narcissist!) while Julia Ducournau’s latest has another mother trying to keep her daughter safe from a mysterious infection (Alpha). Steve Zahn chaperones his daughter to a dance competition (She Dances) while a group of young ballerinas try to fight their way out of a dirty European hotel (Pretty Lethal) and Zazie Beetz tries to do the same against immortal satan worshippers (They Will Kill You). Not to be outdone, a mean girl clique dabbles in witchcraft but eventually end up in Final Destination (Forbidden Fruits). Finally, Vince Vaughn tries to undo a fatal mistake in an action-comedy with a twist. (Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice)

After a week off, Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski return to catch you all up on the world of physical media. This week there are war films and after-war films, both with Gene Hackman. There are movies with dogs and giant insects, Looney Tunes, Loony Porno and the lunacy of Antonio Margheriti. They discuss another underrated Coen Bros. film as well as a film that is not far removed from another of their loony classics. Criterion adds the latest Scorsese to their collection and Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie fans should check out Matt Johnson’s previous film. Finally, one of the goofiest of 1980s sword-and-sorcery films gets the glorious Arrow treatment and God bless them.

Fresh from returning from this year’s SXSW Film Festival, Erik Childress returns to review six movies with Steve Prokopy. They range from Mena Suvari as Elizabeth Bathory (Vampires of the Velvet Lounge) to a documentary on feminine representation in genre films (1000 Women In Horror). Rose Byrne is a homeless woman who loses her car (Tow) while Samara Weaving plays another deadly game of hide and seek (Ready or Not 2: Here I Come) and podcasters get some horrific audio problems (Undertone). Finally, Ryan Gosling goes into space to save the planet, but it is about the friend he makes along the way (Project Hail Mary).

This week in physical media, Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski guide you through a week that includes a pair of lesser Peter Sellers efforts as well as a Southern melodrama known more for the way Marlon Brando is beaten up. There is also some Billy Dee Williams and River Phoenix and a little Bunuel. Cult audiences have a lot to cheer this week from the horror of the late 70s to romance of the early 80s. Keanu Reeves squares off against Al Pacino’s devil and there is a lot of love for Kenneth Branagh’s Hitchcockian mystery that may still remain his best and most entertaining film.

Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy have seven movie reviews for you this week including a remake of a 40-year old hockey film (Youngblood). A reckless young man is held captive like a dog (Heel) and a woman is held captive like a child (Dolly) while Milla Jovovich goes on the offensive to rescue her daughter from sex traffickers (Protector). Alan Ritchson faces off against an alien presence (War Machine). Pixar’s latest has a girl who becomes a beaver (Hoppers) and Maggie Gyllenhaal offers her brand new take on an even older classic (The Bride!)
