Here's another case of a sequel no one asked for. No one except Warner Bros. Studios, that is. The movie studio, understandably, wanted another one. The previous movies were huge money makers but the Wachowskis weren't interested. WB said "We're doing it with or without you." And here we are. Was this the movie the studio was expecting? Was it the movie we were expecting? And more importantly, does the film stand up compared to the previous three? Check out what the guys think and let us know what you think of The Matrix Resurrections.

After many years (The Flash TV show premiered and ended between when this movie was announced and when it was released), we finally got to see The Flash in his first solo movie. Reprising his role from Justice League, Ezra Miller plays Barry Allen who is frustrated after another attempt to help his wrongly imprisoned father fails. Realizing he can run fast enough to travel back in time (farther than he did (or thought possible) in Zack Snyder's Justice League), he plans to go back and save both his parents, despite a warning from Bruce Wayne that he could "destroy everything." Loosely based on the Flashpoint comic, which is a strange story to adapt for his first solo film, The Flash finds himself in a world he doesn't recognize and must figure out a way to set things right again. Check out what the guys think and let us know what you think of The Flash!

The Alien franchise is back with its newest installment from director Fede Alvarez (Evil Dead, Don't Breathe). Taking place between Alien and Aliens, Alien: Romulus finds a group of young adults attempting to board a decommissioned Weyland-Yutani ship in order to steal the cryo-chambers needed to flee their planet and make the nine year voyage to their new home. Things do not go as planned, obviously and they soon find themselves face to face with face huggers. We all know what comes next. Does the newest addition take a top spot among the best Alien films or does it fall flat with some of the more forgetful entries? Check out what the guys think and let us know what you think of Alien: Romulus!

The turtles are back for their first ever feature length animated adventure! The gang's all here except for Shredder (and it turns out there's a reason for that!) but all is not right amongst the turtles. Add to that, there's a guy trying to open a portal to another dimension! Sounds like trouble. It also sounds like the makings of a hit Turtles movie! Do I smell pizza? Let us know what you think of TMNT!

We're continuing through The Matrix franchise with part 3: The Matrix Revolutions. When The Matrix Reloaded ended, Neo was in a coma after using some reality-warping powers in the real world! Revolutions is often considered the worst of the trilogy and some people consider the sequels so bad that they ruin everything good about the first movie, but is it really that bad? Check out what the guys think and let us know what you think of The Matrix Revolutions!

He's back! No, not Deadpool, although he is back, too. Hugh Jackman is back as Wolverine! We thought it was over with Logan, but no! He's come back to play the grumpy, adamantium-clawed X-Man once again! This movie has a bunch of cameos, Deadpool and Wolverine fighting a bunch, but does it have anything of substance? Check out what the guys think and let us know what you think of Deadpool & Wolverine!

If you've ever read a Hellblazer comic, you know John Constantine is a British blonde guy who always wears a tan trench coat. So why not get rid of the trench coat and cast Keanu Reeves? Hey, why not? Originally titled Hellblazer, they changed it to Constantine to avoid confusion with Hellboy, which was released a year earlier. Keanu Reeves actually does a great job as John Constantine but how does the restt of the movie hold up? Check out what the guys think and let us know what you think of Constantine!

It's time to continue/finish another favorite franchise: the Alien franchise! Released in 1992, Alien³ was the directorial debut of David Fincher who would go on to direct some pretty amazing movies like Se7en, Fight Club, Zodiac and The Social Network. Picking up where Aliens left off, Alien³ does something pretty bold right out of the gate. Some disagree with the decision, which casts a heavy shadow over the rest of the film. What do you think? Check out what the guys think and let us know what you think of Alien³!

Wrapping another live-action franchise, the guys discuss the third Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This film follows the turtles back to 17th century Japan and... that's about it. This ended up being one of our shorter episodes because there's just not a lot of meat to this one. How do you feel about TMNT 3? Is it your favorite? Is it deeply misunderstood? Let us know!

We are finishing the Transformers franchise with the last live-action movie: Rise of the Beasts. After six movies, we're finally introduced to the Maximals from the Beasts Wars TV series, but does the film do a good job of adapting their story? Does the timeline make sense?
