No guests this week, so it’s just Scott Mendelson, Lisa Laman and Jeremy Fuster talking shop (mostly) about Universal and Blumhouse Atomic Monster’s The Other Mommy and Sony’s indifferently received The Social Reckoning. Oh, and Lisa pitches an A+ idea for a Hot Wheels movie while Jeremy helps Scott correctly pronounce the last name of everyone’s favorite Angel Studios movie star.
Among the subjects of discourse…
* Everyone picks their favorite from the top 25 films on Letterboxd
* Poor reviews and lousy buzz couldn’t stop Other Mommy
* A $40 million debut in China helped Resident Evil again rise to the top of the charts at the global box office
* Why The Social Reckoning got unfriended
* Amazon MGM needs to firm up its upcoming release dates
* The Odyssey returns to snatch IMAX screens from Digger
* Misc thoughts on arthouse titles, Angel’s latest and Verity legs
* And much more!
If you like what you hear…
No recommended reading, if only because I’m off to a Wildwood screening and traffic isn’t getting better. Nonetheless, please like, share, comment, and subscribe (using a cartoon mallet) with every justified ounce of strength and passion.
