Chris Carter Month continues!
Years before Chris Carter returned to "The X-Files," the producer revealed his most ambitious series to date: "The After," a 99-episode sci-fi/fantasy series about a group of mismatched strangers who, in the pilot, seem to be stuck together after a mysterious apocalypse.
Twists and turns aplenty awaited fans of "The After," including a real doozy at the end of the episode, but Amazon chose not to proceed with any more episodes, and Chris Carter's story remains untold!
What Was "The After," what strange entity was it transforming into, and was it... CANCELED TOO SOON?
Let's find out.
Give it a listen!
Brian De Palma is back with a new thriller starring Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Carice van Houten from "Game of Thrones." They're Danish detectives investigating a murder of a fellow cop, at the hands of a vigilant on a one-man mission of vengeance against ISIS.
In his review of "Domino" at The Wrap, William Bibbiani laments that "an actual game of dominos has more entertainment value," and "more depth and panache," but notes that the virtuosic director does occasionally put an interesting idea on screen.

Octavia Spencer reteams with Tate Taylor, the director of "The Help" (which earned her an Oscar), in the new thriller "Ma." Spencer stars as a woman who buys liquor for a group of teenagers, then begins to feed off of their attention, opening an underage tavern in her basement to lure adolescents. When they reject her, the dark side of "Ma" gets reveal. Diana Silvers, Juliette Lewis and Luke Evans co-star.
In his review of "Ma" at Bloody-Disgusting, William Bibbiani praises the film's smart writing and creepy deaths, and in particular Octavia Spencer's performance, saying she "has the potential to become a classic horror villain."

Godzilla is back, and this time he's bringing some old friends with him! "Godzilla: King of the Monsters" teams Godzilla back up with his old pal Mothra, as they fight to save the world from the awesome and terrifying powers of Ghidorah and Rodan. Oh, and a bunch of humans are in it too, like Vera Farmiga, Millie Bobby Brown, Kyle Chandler, Ken Watanabe, Bradley Whitford, O'Shea Jackson Jr., Thomas Middleditch, Zhang Ziyi and Charles Dance!
In his review of "Godzilla: King of the Monsters" at Bloody-Disgusting, William Bibbiani calls the movie "impossibly huge," and compares it to "an exhilarating theme park attraction where the guides are all award-winning Hollywood stars," but laments that the movie wastes its impressive ensemble cast.

"Aladdin" made all the money in the world at the box office! But while audiences are flocking to mediocre remakes and expensive sequels, they're choosing to eschew smaller films like "Booksmart" in theaters, instead choosing to wait until these films are on streaming. Is there any future for smaller movies at the box office? Is there any reversing this trend? And is it even worth worrying about in the first place?
Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold tackle one of the biggest questions facing the film industry on this week's CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED! They also review a bunch of new releases, including "Aladdin," "Brightburn," "The Perfection," "See You Yesterday" and - you guessed it - "Booksmart!"

After years of teasing, it's FINALLY here... CHRIS CARTER MONTH!
The creator of "The X-Files" may be best known for his genre-defining sci-fi classic series, but that doesn't mean everything Chris Carter touched turned to gold. He's had a LOT of flops over the years, and we're going to tackle a whole bunch of them, starting with HARSH REALM, a sci-fi series about a virtual reality world, released just months after the smash hit "The Matrix," which only lasted three episodes before Fox canceled it and burned off the rest of the series the next year on another station.
Was "Harsh Realm" canceled too soon? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold tell you everything you need to know about this ambitious, but failed experiment from Chris Carter, in the latest episode of CANCELED TOO SOON!
Give it a listen!
Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson aren't just brides, they're WARRIOR BRIDES in the 2009 comedy "Bride Wars!" It's a bizarre and off-putting comedy about two women who used to be friends and then vow to destroy each other for the sake of pride and vanity, and although it's a rather bad film about that topic, "Death Becomes Her" does the same thing BEAUTIFULLY, and all it does is add Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn, and ultraviolent zombie mayhem!
Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold take another crack at one of the best movies ever made, and one of the worst, in this all-new episode of THE TWO-SHOT!
Give it a listen!
