      Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (2023) The first 30 minutes and final 30 minutes are fun enough but Rise of the Beasts is yet another big budget movie that gets lost in its own mythology for seemingly no reason. - Mad About Movies Podcast

      Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023) An outstanding assemblage and use of talent across all facets of filmmaking. The animation itself is the most obvious selling point but in a world where most big budget movies feel like an AI script with studio interference, this screenplay soars. - Mad About Movies Podcast

      The Little Mermaid (2023) Halle Bailey has incredible stage presence and most of the retread material is fine. The real sin here is Disney's continued employment of Rob Marshall. - Mad About Movies Podcast

      Peter Pan & Wendy (2023) It's not a totally worthless endeavor but in a world in which dozens of Pan adaptations exist, there's not enough here to separate the movie from its predecessors. If you're going to hire David Lowery, let him cook! - Mad About Movies Podcast

      Air (2023) There were a lot of smart decisions involved in this one but the smartest of all was keeping Michael Jordan off-screen, focusing instead on the shoe and the business of sports. - Mad About Movies Podcast

      The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023) Viewers expecting a Pixar-level film were asking too much of the folks who brought you such classics as "Banana" and "Minion in a thong." It's fun, visually impressive, and, most of all, harmless. - Mad About Movies Podcast

      Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023) Pine is a gem, the surrounding cast are all strong, and the world is well-built. But the number one thing this writer-director team gets right is the understanding that both the game and popcorn movies are supposed to be FUN. There's a lot of fun here. - Mad About Movies Podcast

      Creed III (2023) MBJ proves to be equally equipped to provide strength and brilliance both inside the ring and outside of it, stepping into Coogler's massive shoes with great competence. Jonathan Majors is a STAR. - Mad About Movies Podcast

      Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania (2023) Far from the best the MCU has to offer but fun, energetic, and quirky enough to overlook its flaws. Also: Jonathan Majors. - Mad About Movies Podcast

      Knock at the Cabin (2023) Far from best Shyamalan has brought us over the years but also FAR from the worst. Bautista makes the movie and keeps it afloat during its lesser moments. - Mad About Movies Podcast

      The Banshees of Inisherin (2022) McDonagh is, for my money, the best writer in the business. Farrell and Gleeson are the perfect vessels for his unique brand of dark, heartbreaking, hilarity. A near perfect movie. - Mad About Movies Podcast

      Babylon (2022) While the performances are outstanding and the movie-making scenes are often exquisite, the hedonism and debauchery of Babylon feels like a completely different movie that serves, essentially, as a MacGuffin to connect the characters. - Mad About Movies Podcast

      Mank (2020) Fincher made a number of risky choices along the way, the type that only a few mainstream filmmakers can get away with, and it all works quite beautifully. Surprisingly, Mank is, dare I say, a lot of fun to watch in large sections. - Mad About Movies Podcast

      Love and Monsters (2020) Love and Monsters takes some very common tropes from different genres and mixes them all together in a strange, unique world. The result is wholly appealing and sheds new light, for me at least, on O'Brien's leading man potential. - Mad About Movies Podcast
