The Powder RoomViolent Night (2022)Get into the holiday spirit with Yvette and Juliet tuning into this episode discussing 'Violent Night' (2022). A 'Bad Santa' wannabee, this film dangles too many loose ends that the only thing we can know for sure by the end is David Harbour can work a Santa suit. If in theaters, worth the price of admission, for sure.2023-12-231h 03
The Powder RoomBlonde (2022)Juliet and Yvette discuss 'Blonde', a 2022 NC-17 biopic film based on the life of Marilyn Monroe. Mired in controversy and historical inaccuracies, the girls weigh in on the most important topic: Was President John F. Kennedy good in bed? Directed by Andrew Dominik and starring Ana de Armas, Julianne Nicholson, Adrien Brody, Bobby Cannavale, Evan Williams, Xavier Samuel and Lily Fisher.2023-11-2255 min
The Powder RoomBeast (2022)If the cringe-worthy trailer was not enough to steer you clear of this CGI clunker, then you are better than most. What 'Beast' (2022) fails to grasp from creature films is that the less you see, the better the outcome. With the unimpressive CGI lion making its debut in the trailer, it's no wonder no one was clamoring to see this Covid flop.Directed by Baltasar Kormákur and starring Idris Elba, Leah Jeffries, Iyana Halley and Sharlto Copley.2023-08-0658 min
The Powder RoomCowboys & Aliens (2011)In a world in which audiences love cowboys and aliens, separately, the mash-up seemed both sinful and enticing in Cowboys & Aliens (2011). With neither side fully committing, an action adventure with promising leads goes absolutely nowhere...trust us, you could conjure up more creativity in your sleep. Directed by Jon Favreau, starring Harrison Ford, Daniel Craig, Olivia Wilde, Sam Rockwell, and Paul Dano.2023-07-1958 min
The Powder RoomMoonfall (2022)After a month hiatus, Juliet and Yvette are back with a new episode discussing 'Moonfall' (2022). A disappointing result for being the most expensive independent film ever made, though our conspiracy theorists will relish in this one. For once they are the crowned heros that get to save the planet in this doomsday number. Starring Halle Berry, Patrick Wilson, John Bradley, Charlie Plummer, Kelly Yu, Michael Pena and Carolina Bartczak.2023-05-2450 min
The Powder RoomMother! (2017)The girls discuss Mother! a 2017 psychological horror film, that cannot decide whether it's a horror edition of Little House on the Prairie or a really well made experimental student horror film. Lots of linens, piss yellow paint and annoying strangers are the main takeaways. The film stars Jennifer Lawrence, Javier Bardem, Ed Harris and Michelle Pfeiffer. Directed by Darron Aronofsky.2023-03-2947 min
The Powder RoomThe 355 (2022)We were all rooting for 'The 355', until it tried to shame us all for loving James Bond. If you want to feel belittled though, this try-hard action film will have you questioning the relevance of every scene. It’s a puzzle with only the edges…as good as empty.The film stars Jessica Chastain, Penélope Cruz, Bingbing Fan, Diane Kruger, Lupita Nyong'o, Edgar Ramírez, Sebastian Stan, John Douglas Thompson, Jason Flemyng, Pablo Scola and Raphael Acloque.2023-03-1458 min
The Powder RoomDevotion (2022)In this episode, the girls review the 2022 film, 'Devotion'. This film succumbs to lazy adaptation efforts – flatlining Jesse Brown’s inspiring and heroic life. The friendship and devotion between the leads never quite ignite, leaving this one grounded from ever reaching soaring heights.The film stars Jonathan Majors and Glen Powell as the leads, and the supporting cast of Thomas Sadoski, Christina Jackson, Daren Kagasoff, Joe Jonas, Spencer Neville and Nick Hargrove.2023-03-141h 04
The Powder RoomBlack Adam (2022)'Black Adam' falls prey to uninspired dialogue, a fake female lead and intern grade CGI, making the recent DC venture read more like a DIY video game than one with a multi-million-dollar budget. As much as we love The Rock, even he looked bored.The film stars Dwayne Johnson, Sarah Shahi, Aldis Hodge, Pierce Brosnan, Noah Centineo, Quintessa Swindell, Marwan Kenzari, Bodhi Sabongui and Mohammed Amer. A brief cameo appearance by Viola Davis.2023-03-141h 04
The Powder RoomThe Last Duel (2021)In their debut episode, Juliet and Yvette review 'The Last Duel', a 2021 historical action-drama film. With a net loss of 70 million dollars at the box office, there’s a lot to unpack here. Highlights include Ben Affleck channeling Slim Shady, unnecessary Boston Terriers, and those evil, cell phone owning, millennials.The film stars Matt Damon, Adam Driver, Jodie Comer, Ben Affleck, Harriet Walter and Alex Lawther.2023-03-1456 min
