🎬 Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married Again? —Did We Really Need This? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Joshua Hunter takes on Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married Again?, the Netflix threequel that reunites the original couples 16 years later for a wedding — with Taraji P. Henson joining the cast and bringing a secret of her own. Joshua breaks down whether this franchise still has anything new to say almost two decades in, or if the drama's gotten a little too familiar, or if this is just another piece of garbage to throw on the trash pile of other Tyler Perry offerings. 🍍 The Reel Pineapple is yo
🎬 Maddie's Secret — A Delicious Directorial Debut? (opens the original)

Joshua Hunter reviews Maddie's Secret, John Early's acclaimed directorial debut, starring himself as a dishwasher-turned-viral food influencer whose picture-perfect public life hides a private struggle.

Critics have been brutal, calling it everything from "boneheaded" to an "unintentional comedy" — so Joshua puts it to the test. Is The Runner actually as bad as the reviews say, or is there a hate-watch ge
James and the Giant Peach — An Underrated Stop-Motion Classic? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Joshua Hunter takes a trip back to the year 1996 for a review of James and the Giant Peach, Henry Selick's part-live-action, part-stop-motion adaptation of Roald Dahl's beloved novel, produced by Tim Burton.
