Discovering good movies, one bad movie at a time


Mid-April is awfully early to be thinking about summer already, but Marvel and Disney have decided for the rest of us that the summer movie season begins this year on Friday, 26 April, with the release of Avengers: Endgame. To prepare, this episode will be all about the blockbuster movies to come: the superheroes, the living toys, the monsters who fit inside your pocket, the Hobbses and the Shaws.

In Worth Mentioning we cover a Patreon pick from Julian DeBerry with North by Northwest as well as The Fabulous Baron Munchausen.
