The Breakdown of 'The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run', 'Unhinged', 'Project Power' and 'Banana Split'

The movie theatres are opening up again in Ontario, so that means that for the first time since March that we are reviewing some theatrical releases. This includes an animated adventure that isn't coming to the United States until next year but is the big new release in Canada in The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run. The other theatrical release is the Russel Crowe starring thriller, Unhinged . We also review two 2020 movies that are streaming on Netflix including the Jamie Foxx starring twist on the superhero genre mixed with police procedural in Project Power and a different take on the romantic teen comedy with Banana Split . Plus, we look at talented female directors like Olivia Wilde and Nia DaCosta being hired to helm big tentpoles and discuss if this is true change in Hollywood or just a fad. As always, it was a great time recording the episode and we are so thankful for your weekly support. We hope you love the show as much as we do, and if you do, please help us ou

The Summer Box Office Challenge Update: Is the Glorious Streak Over???

The Movie Breakdown held the first Summer Box Office Challenge in 2015 and it has been an annual event on the podcast ever since. Another yearly tradition has been my defeating Scott at the challenge and then choosing three awful movies for him to review as my reward. While the challenge continues, it looks like the other tradition is coming to an end. For the first time, Scott seems set to win it. I'm slightly terrified of what three movies he will prepare to throw at me because he has years of pent-up angst over what I've made him suffer. Here is the tally as it stands right now with our draft picks. Scott: 1. The Guardians of the Galaxy $118 414 021 2. Spider-man Across the Spiderverse $120 663 589 3. Flash $55 043 679 4. Fast X $67 017 410 5. Barbie 6. Haunted Mansion 7. Teenage Mutant Turtles: Mutant Mayhem 8. Ruby Gilliam Teenage Kraken $5 500 990 9. The Book Club: The Next Chapter $6 677 580 10. Back on the Strip Total: $373 317 269 Christopher: 1. Indiana Jone and the

Explaining My Four Star Rating System

I've never been a huge fan of rating movies by stars or percentages. For me, the written review is where the value lies and allows a reader to explore the complexities of a movie. In an ideal word, a review should be enough for a reader to understand the critic's views and opinions on a movie. Apparently, my words are not enough because after a few months of professionally writing movie reviews back in 2012, several readers asked that I include star ratings so they had a reference point. I've now been doing star ratings for over five years, and there really isn't any turning back now. As we enter into another year of movies where I will be reviewing over a hundred flicks in written form and on the podcast, it seemed like a good time to explain the values of my star ratings. While I really hope you read or listen to my reviews to really understand where I stand on a movie, I want to explain what each star means when it comes to being rewarded to a movie. This will
