Episode 128 - Man from U.N.C.L.E

Dragon on The Couch: The Dragon watched Knock at the Cabin (Theatres), M Night Shyamalan’s latest film. She thought it was an average film, which is great for a Shyamalan film. She then watched Shallow Grave (HBO), an early Danny Boyle film which she enjoyed. Next, she watched Causeway (Apple TV+), which she thought was good for what it was trying to be. She watched Jack and Jill (Tubi), which wasn't great, but felt it was better than its reputation. Finally, she watched The Great Silence (Il Grande Silenzio) (Criterion/Redbox), and thought it was a great spaghetti western.

 

Berto on the Bed: Berto watched Eighth Grade (HBO), a film he thought was very well done and thought it was perfect at showing the early teenage years. Berto next watched Rocky 5 (Netflix), which he said felt way too rushed and just wasn’t a fun film. Next, Berto watched Rambo: First Blood Part 2 (HBO). He thought the first half was bad, but the second half was just as great as he remembered. Next, he watched Wild Mountain Thyme (Hulu), which was a very bizarre rom-com that had poorly shown themes, with a story that made no sense. Next, he watched Open House (Netflix), which he felt was a decent horror film with an infuriatingly bad ending. Then he watched Hellraiser: Hellworld (HBO), which was a surprisingly average horror film. Finally, he watched Hellraiser: Revelations (Tubi), which he found to be a very bad horror film and would recommend it to anyone.

 

Dragon at the Movies: In this week’s deep dive, we watched the 2015 action film Man From UNCLE, currently streaming on HBO Max.
