The Code Is Zeek

So, Operation Finale opened a little earlier in the week, but it matters little because the film is merely decent at best. Searching opens wide this week, however, and it's easily the best film opening wide this week. The Little Stranger has something for fans of gothic cinema, but I found it underwhelming. Also up, reviews for this week's new home releases, along with my write-up for the season finale of Preacher . Lastly, be sure to enjoy both new podcasts this week, especially our Crazy Rich Asians  episode, as we cover a lot of ground in that discussion. Enjoy and thanks for reading!

This week's  Out Now with Aaron and Abe  goes over the crazy things about representation. Aaron and Abe have plenty to talk about with guests Michael Lee and David Yeh when it came to Crazy Rich Asians , the box office smash that was able to promote a lot of good dialogue concerning not only the quality of the film but the themes and importance as well. Among topics covered, we have a fun round of Know Everybody ( 7:14 ), some Out Now Quickies™ ( 20:45 ), Trailer Talk for  Roma ( 35:35 ), the main review ( 41:30 ), Games ( 1:41:20 ), and Out Now Feedback ( 1:46:46 ). We then wrap things up ( 1:56:37 ) and end on this week's closeout song.

No vacations this summer, as it’s time for a new commentary track from Out Now with Aaron and Abe . Aaron is joined by Brandon Peters  and Scott Mendelson for a discussion of Halloween H20 , which features the return of Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode. Listen in, as the guys talk all about the 90s slasher flick and the series as a whole. There’s lots of fun to be had in going over how this film factors into the franchise, where things went with Halloween , how director Steve Miner did good work here, the supporting cast as well, and plenty of other neat bits of information, stories, and tangents. Plenty of fun detail to be found in this entertaining track, so enjoy! Important Note:   This commentary may feature both juvenile uses of language and jokes that may be considered un-PC.  We of course are just trying to have a fun time… So now, if you’ve got an hour to kill…

In the last couple of weeks in August, the wide releases don't ten to be filled with quality entertainment. That's why you get an R-rated puppet movie ( The Happ ytime Murders ), a barely-marketed remake of Papillon , and a movie about a robodog ( AXL ). That said, I did see Searching , which is quite good and will spread wide next weekend. Look out for it. Blu-ray is a different story as a packed Deadpool 2 release it out there, along with the great First Reformed . I also have some more new write-ups for Preacher   and Gotham . Lastly, enjoy our great podcast discussion of BlacKkKlansman . Enjoy and thanks for reading!

Crazy Rich Asians hit theaters earlier this week and it looks like the spirited romantic comedy is going to be a hit. Good for all involved.

It's a big weekend for a silly, old bear and a bunch of super-powered kids. Christopher Robin and The Darkest Minds  are the big releases of the week, along with The Spy Who Dumped Me , which I didn't see. Eighth Grade also expands to more theaters, which is really your best bet among many other films that I've highlighted in the past weeks. At home, you can find Tully , but don't forget to keep up with Preacher , among the many great shows currently on air. Lastly, be sure to listen to this week's podcast covering Mission: Impossible - Fallout , we reviewed the film and played a silly game. It was great. Enjoy!
