The Code Is Zeek

I really enjoy putting my reviews together.  I honestly wish I could delve deeper into certain movies, but alas, I get incredibly busy and can sometimes only deal with movies to a briefer extent than I would prefer.  This is why I write these occasional "Brief Thoughts" posts on movies I have seen, as I want to at least offer some of my own perspective on them.  They may not be as polished, but I can at least get my opinions out there. This edition of "Brief Thoughts" features a review for DC Animated Universe's Superman: Red Son.

This week's Out Now with Aaron and Abe is the second half of a decade discussion. Aaron and Abe are joined by Le Noir Auteur’s Terence Johnson and (briefly) Awards Circuit’s Mark Johnson to go over their thoughts on the role movies played during the 2010s as a whole. With a reflection on the individual bests of the decade lists in mind, the group goes over their thoughts on a wide array of topics including the blockbusters of the 2010s (namely the MCU), the role of animation, documentaries, independent, international, and horror films, a larger response to female filmmakers and LGBTQ representation, the future of cinema, and more. So now, if you’ve got an hour or two to kill, enjoy…

There are some notable new releases on home media as well, including Uncut Gems, which is well worth checking out. Finally, there are my various essays,  lists, and some new trailers to dig into as well, along with our latest podcasts covering Onward and more. Enjoy, and thanks for reading!
