In this special July 4th weekend episode, I start with something a little different. While I usually keep this podcast focused on the worlds of film and television, I couldn’t ignore the very real-world news that broke over the holiday: a deeply concerning piece of legislation signed into law by President Trump that slashes Medicaid access, cuts SNAP benefits for struggling families, adds trillions to the national debt, and gives away massive tax breaks to the already ultra-wealthy.
It felt wrong not to say something.
But don’t worry — we do pivot back to what this podcast does best: breaking down what’s worth watching (and what’s not).
🎬 Movies & Shows Discussed:
- HEADS OF STATE (2025) – Idris Elba and John Cena bring action and comedy to Amazon Prime.
- THE ACTOR (2025) – An offbeat noir character study streaming on Hulu.
- GARDEN OF EDEN (2025) – A horror film I wish I could forget, rented via VOD.
Thanks for listening — whether you come for the movies or stay for the honesty, I appreciate you.
