Melissa McCarthy is the boss, but is her new film The Boss really that boss? This week on The B-Movies Podcast, William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold review the hit new comedy that has critics screaming and audiences tolerating it. They’re also reviewing the ambitious first-person action thriller Hardcore Henry, the Jake Gyllenhaal drama Demolition, and the impressive new thrillers The Invitation and Hush!
Also on this week’s episode, Bibbs and Witney debate the biggest news stories of the week, including the troubling sequel to Edge of Tomorrow, the even more troubling sequel to Kingsman, and why the box office disappointment of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice might actually force Warner Bros. to make MORE superhero movies. Oh yes. That’s a real possibility. Logic is weird in Hollywood. And logic is weirder online, where some superhero movie fans are upset that critics want films in this genre to be “fun.” How dare they…?
Is Duke Nukem nothing more than a murderous killbot? You’ll find out on The B-Movies Podcast #268: You’re Not The Boss Of Me!
