  • Lashana Lynch is rumored to assume the role of 007 in the upcoming James Bond film which should be the finale of the Daniel Craig run of bond flicks. As always, the internet freaked out, however it's not likely that she'll replace James Bond in any way shape or form.

    Additionally, Scarlett Johansson is under fire (again) after stepping away from a role in which she was set to play a trans man. After enough heat on social media one of the most famous female actors in the world turned down what might have been an iconic role. Now the movie is shelved and no one will see it as a result. What's worse, no one seeing a film that could introduce millions to a trans experience or having one of the most famous people in the world play a trans character even though they themselves don't know the trans experience?

  • Paul Walter Hauser is an actor known best for his roles in "I, Tonya", "BlacKkKlansman", "Cobra Kai" and the upcoming Clint Eastwood directed "Richard Jewel". Paul is currently filming in Atlanta and took time to sit down with me at Ormsby's to talk movies. In his upcoming upcoming role he plays Richard Jewel, a man famous for having saved people from the Atlanta Olympics bombing, but was then labeled as the prime suspect by the FBI and Main Stream Media. He acts alongside Sam Rockwell and Olivia Wilde and you can expect to see "Richard Jewel" in theaters later this year.

    In this episode, director Mitzi Peirone explains her film Braid. Braid is a psychological and somewhat psychedelic horror movie. While the movie itself runs deep, her explanation and thought process runs deeper. I hope you enjoy hearing about her journey as a filmmaker and the thought process behind a crazy film like Braid.

  • This episode is fairly topic-less as I discuss several new release movies I watched this week, giving quick movie reviews of each. I got stuck on the fact that Ted Bundy was not a good looking man, at all... despite the fact that everyone else seems to think so.

    Finally, I share the major troubles I'm having with Chase bank and how they almost brought Flick Connection to it's knees due to sheer negligence.

  • This week, I discuss a wide range of Superhero movies including a Split full movie review (with mild spoilers) and why the Marvel movies are unlike anything else in theaters. I also take time to dive into the Brie Larson controversy with clips of the Brie Larson Jeremy Renner interview and her interview with Don Cheadle and Chris Hemsworth. It's hard to say, but it appears that the avengers hate Brie Larson... it just doesn't quite seem like it's a bit.
