Look, up in the air, it’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s…a moodier former resident of Krypton. Supergirl opens this week, and it’s…fine. I have a review for that film, along with the latest (and supposedly final) Jackass, and the Sundance breakout The Invite, featuring a host of good actors delivering on their comedic strengths. Plus, I reviewed Angeleno out of the Dances with Films festival. We also have the latest episode of our two-time award-winning podcast, , along with our newest Out Now episode covering Toy Story 5 and more, plus whatever other podcasts I may have been a guest on. So, feel free to check out all these reviews, podcasts, lists, trailers, and other fun. Enjoy, stay safe, and thank you for reading!
