There’s a big heart inside this little shell. Jenny Slate has been given a number of voice roles in movies like “Zootopia” and “The Secret Life of Pets,” and shows like “Big […]
Marcel the Shell with Shoes On
The Man from Toronto
A run-of-the-mill hitman comedy that runs out of ideas. Kevin Hart and Woody Harrelson both could have been funny in “The Man from Toronto,” a would-be action comedy on Netflix about a […]
Beavis and Butthead Do The Universe
Made-for-Paramount+ movie scores some good laughs. If Siri doesn’t understand “Beavis” or “Butthead” or “spanking the monkey,” then I don’t know what the VA would understand. I mean I’ve always wonder how […]

The bright and colorful Disney+ series about Captain Marvel’s biggest fan. “Ms. Marvel” is a warm up for the upcoming “Captain Marvel” sequel “The Marvels,” telling the story of a young Pakistani-American […]
