With my recent review of The Pickup, I figured it was probably time to make a playlist dedicated to my Eddie Murphy reviews! youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4...

I edited ‪@AllisonPregler‬ and ‪@phelous‬ talking about Mufasa: The Lion King, a ludicrously overstuffed prequel/sequel that plays like reference-stuffed fanfic, including the laziest king ever, several dead dads, and the most hilariously terrible villain song ever! MAH GOD!

Hello, everyone! Hope you’re doing well, just wanted to catch you up on all the things I’ve done in July!

In my long-form content, we’ve got three major reviews! Jurassic World gets a Rebirth as Scarlett Johansson leads an expedition on a new island; James Gunn revitalises Superman on the big screen; and the Smurfs have unfortunately also returned.

Superman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrApb...
Smurfs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75gFZ...

In Shorts, three new reviews, including a double bill of horror titles! Aiden Gillen co-stars in Amongst the Wolves, an Irish thriller made for just €16,000; Bella Thorne believes she was sent by God to kill creeps in Saint Clare; and the Australian bush gets even more terrifying when a woman finds her brother in a commune in The Banished!

During July, I was editing the new episode of Movie Nights with ‪@AllisonPregler‬ and ‪@phelous‬ on Mufasa: The Lion King, which should go public soon - it’s a long one at over 40 minutes, so don’t miss it! I’ve also scripted a couple more videos but been so busy that I didn’t get around to filming them, including one on The Salt Path I hope to film soon. Also sent notes to ‪@DiamandaHagan‬ for a new crossover that I will be filming when I visit her at the end of this month. So I’ve been pretty much constantly working, as per usual!

Wishing you all well and staying safe, and I hope you’re enjoying my output! Here’s me grimacing at having to sit through Smurfs.

British drama Unicorns, about a man who falls for a drag artist, finally gets a cinema release in the US this weekend, a year after I reviewed it! If you're in the UK, it's on Netflix currently. youtube.com/shorts/83SYBvsftn...

Superman video out later today! Apologies if it's a little late, but the weather over the weekend was just too hot to film in, and I was still a mess by the time I finished recording on Monday.

Aiden Gillen from Game of Thrones is a nasty crime boss in Irish crime thriller Amongst the Wolves, now out in cinemas and on VOD in the US. Made for just €16,000, but the film itself is less inspiring. youtube.com/shorts/F21iKUFU4P...

Figured I'd create a special playlist for my Jurassic World reviews, so they're all in one place! youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4...

If you enjoyed my Jurassic World: Rebirth review, why not revisit my take on a low budget dinosaur movie, with a title that you definitely shouldn't say too fast.

A bit of a shame you couldn't really see what my shirt said in the Jurassic World: Rebirth review. You know me, I had to get a Simpsons reference in.
