Weekly Recap: The Running Man, Now You See Me & More!
Action and adventure coming in from the Big Apple this week.
Greetings from New York City! I’m across the country this week and haven’t had a chance to put together write-ups for several very solid award contenders I’ve seen as of late. That said, I do have reviews for the two big new releases—The Running Man and Now You See Me: Now You Don't. Additionally, we have our latest episode of the award-winning 2 Black Guys Talk Godzilla, along with our newest Out Now episodes covering Predator: Badlands, and whatever other podcasts I may have been a guest on. So, feel free to check out all these reviews, podcasts, lists, trailers, and other fun. Enjoy, stay safe, and thank you for reading!

Guest - The Brandon Peters Show - Top 5 Single Film Physical Media Releases of All Time with Aaron Neuwirth - “What release of a movie felt the most definitive of all time of that movie for you? Was it a Blu-ray? A VHS? A Laserdisc? We share our criteria for picking these, then make our own picks. There is one film that was sort of the inspiration for this, and to no surprise, both of us chose it.”
Guest - Lambcast #791 “Predator Badlands” - “Jeannette Ward and Aaron Neuwirth are the LAMBs who crash land on the planet Genna with us, and we all get to delight in the flora and fauna that all wants to kill us.”
