The Hollywood Outsider

Daniel Gillies and Matthias Luafutu overcome a muddled third act to stand out in the coldly endearing thriller, Coming Home in the Dark.

On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, we discuss weird casting choices, Marvel's lawsuit against its creators, and reviews of Midnight Mass, Witch Hunt, and Coming Home in the Dark.

Gerard Butler, Frank Grillo, and Alexis Louder deliver in Joe Carnahan's Copshop, "the kick-in-the-balls start to the fall movie season we all needed".

It’s time for our Fall TV preview 2021. Also: Norm Macdonald, reviews of #Malignant, #SmallEngineRepair, #Kate, and much more.

On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider, we debate our Summer Entertainment Awards and review Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is the most dynamic, fun, clever MCU solo film since Black Panther. Read on for our spoiler-free review.

On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, we talk exclusively about the Fantasia International Film Festival.

On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, we discuss our favorite actors or directors who, at some point, were thought to have no career but came back to reprise their fame. We’ll also mention ones that we WISH would get their comeback. Also on this episode, our news roundup includes LuLaRich docuseries about the LuLaRoe pyramid scheme, Hotel Transylvania 4 is skipping theaters and going straight to Amazon Prime Video globally after $100 million deal with Sony, and Field of Dreams getting a series adaptation; a spoiler-free review of Demonic, upcoming releases, and our What's This Movie? segment. 

Battle Royale returns with a villain team-up edition, our review of Marvel's What If, and a discussion of James Gunn's The Suicide Squad.

Narrated and guided by "The Watcher" (Jeffrey Wright, Westworld), each animated episode of What If...? takes us on a roughly 30 minute journey using familiar characters, voices, and moments from the MCU films (except Chris Evans, because contracts) to present you with an alternative reality. What makes this series pretty magical is there is no fan-obsessed debate over how things "should" end up. No one is right and no one is wrong; it is just a concoction of hypotheticals for our pure entertainment where one simple change causes a catalyst of changes.
