HBO’s Lanterns looked like it might turn Green Lantern into a grounded prestige drama and leave the cosmic weirdness behind. After the first two episodes, Adam is pleasantly surprised. Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre establish a strong Hal Jordan/John Stewart dynamic, the central mystery actually makes good use of the detective format, and the series is not shying away from constructs, the Green…
If an entire town gets thrown into prehistoric Earth, the town should probably matter. This week on Beware of Spoilers , Adam breaks down The End of Oak Street , a new Bad Robot dinosaur movie with an excellent premise but too many competing ideas. From an underdeveloped suburban community to a marriage subplot that keeps interrupting the survival story, the movie repeatedly hints at more…
Full spoilers ahead. Adam saw Spider-Man: Brand New Day and calls it the first time he's felt confident in the MCU in years. A complete breakdown of who Sadie Sink is playing, why the Peter/*REDACTED* symmetry is the smartest thing in the movie, and how a self-contained, street-level Spider-Man story quietly lays every piece of groundwork the *REDACTED* saga needs. Plus the Tom Holland and Jon…
The first new Avatar project in nearly a decade is here, and Adam has thoughts. A full-spoilers review of Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender , why it's one of the best-looking things the franchise has ever produced, and why it should never have been dumped onto streaming. Plus the central problem: scale. From wrecking Republic City, to unlocking a beast-mode Avatar State, to granting airbending to…
Adam finally caught Obsession , the sub-million-dollar Blumhouse phenomenon that became the horror hit of the year, and he's got reservations the hype train left behind. A full-spoilers breakdown of why Inde Navarrette's multi-layered performance is genuinely Oscar-worthy, how the monkey's-paw premise nails its unsettling middle stretch, and why the blood-soaked third act breaks the film's own…
Christopher Nolan is back, and Adam is ready to call it: The Odyssey is the best film of the year so far and a full five stars. Join in for a spoiler-inclusive breakdown (though the book is 3000 years old so the statute of limitations has well passed) of why Nolan has quietly become the best deconstructionist in film, taking a story you half-remember from high school and rebuilding it around its…
My Adventures with Superman is back after nearly two years, and Adam digs into the first three episodes of season three. Is this secretly Kara's season, how the Reign of the Supermen arc reframes Cyborg Superman as a Lex Luthor story, and why the show's refusal to hit the reset button on Clark and Lois makes it the most emotionally honest Superman on screen. Plus the Seto Kaiba take on Lex, the…
DC's second swing lands, mostly. Adam caught an early screening of Supergirl and makes the case that Milly Alcock's jaded, Woman of Tomorrow -flavored Kara is strong enough to carry a film with real structural cracks. Full spoilers on the Kara-and-Ruthye dynamic that anchors the whole thing, the grungy visual design that makes the action hard to follow, the third-act green-screen problem, and why…
The toys are back, and Adam has thoughts about whether they needed to be. A full-spoilers breakdown of Toy Story 5 , the Lilypad tablet villain, a tech-and-childhood theme the movie raises and then refuses to actually wrestle with, why this is fundamentally Jessie's story and all the better for it, how the film gets caught serving two masters, the conspicuous absence of anything Lightyear…
Adam caught the world premiere of the first two episodes of X-Men '97 season 2 at the Tribeca Festival, and this one's deliberately spoiler-free ahead of the show's July 1 return. The team is scattered across time, Apocalypse steps up as the season's central threat, and the second episode delivers a piece of character work that earns a Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 comparison in the best way. A…
Steven Spielberg is back in theaters for the first time since The Fabelmans , and he's returned to the aliens that made him. Adam digs into Disclosure Day , Spielberg's coldest, most institutional take on first contact, built on a sharp premise: the government can't keep a secret this big, but a tech company could. Full spoilers ahead on Emily Blunt's award-worthy performance, the two-person…
