These days it seems like you can’t throw a bucket of popcorn in a movie theater without hitting at least one cinema-focused podcaster. They come in varying flavors but primarily tend to be contemporary film reviews. There are others that focus on the industry, writing, gossip and more, but one that’s been running for a […]

Netflix’s latest feature film release, Polar, is an enjoyable carnival ride of violence and mayhem that will directly appeal to fans of the Smokin’ Aces and John Wick family of films about assassins/agents who wind up being marked for “retirement” by their friendly local governments/crime bosses and they choose not to go down without a […]
