Dollar Reviews 042: The Big Sick/Spider-man: Homecoming/War for the Planet of the Apes

Welcome to our first triple feature, starting with the true romcom of Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon’s lives #IdBuyThatForADollar, followed by Sony’s third go at Spidey (24:23), and finally Matt Reeves’s conclusion to the Apes trilogy (48:23) #IBTFAD. Also, Steve shares thoughts on The Exception (1:20:07), Kirikou and the Sorceress (1:24:19), and a double feature of The Philadelphia Story/Palm Beach Story (1:27:06). Meanwhile, I caught This is John (1:32:04) and Videodrome in 35mm (1:36:37) – then my Goodwill Corner featuring a surprise announcement (1:41:08).

Two Cents 062: Spoderman n Frendz

The slow week in which I try a different format, Amazon might have landed the next Linklater flick, Arclight Theaters are on Fandango, I share a funny/sad coincidence about Dollar Reviews 028, Transformers 5 casting King Arthur and its possible cementing of a trend, my second attempt at making “live-reaction” a thing, and DC and Marvel news (with an unrequested re-review of Spiderman: Civil War). Plus, Jon Favreau made a virtual reality experience, Steve finally got a Google Cardboard, we guess why HTC Vive and Oculus Rift sales are stagnant, Linden Labs and IMAX reveal more about their VR gambles, and the future of education in a digital world.

Dollar Reviews 021: Captain America: Civil War/Zootopia/Views/Overwatch (Beta)

This week we finally live up to our intro and give you reviews for a wide amount of media beginning with Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War. Then we head to Zootopia (31:45), Sing Street again (35:40), take a look at Drake’s Views (42:40), and impressions of Blizzard’s Overwatch Beta (44:38). Finally Steve tells me about his screening of Dolemite (46:41) and I reminisce about the days of switching channels on cable and watching whatever they programmed.
