Movie Review – The Hustle – Rewatch Dirty Rotten Scoundrels Instead
Ah, The Hustle. It looked so winsome from the trailers. I like Rebel Wilson most of the time, and Anne Hathaway almost all the time. The promising premise: a comedy with two completely different brands of women, running high-stakes scams on rich men in Europe. I was excited to do the Peetimes for this film,…

First Star Wars Skywalker Trailer Breakdown
I remember seeing Return of the Jedi in the theater at a very young age and falling in love with ewoks. For most of my life, there were only three Star Wars films (and a brilliant Mel Brooks parody of them). And the vague promise that maybe someday George Lucas would make episodes I-III. In…

Avengers Easter Egg – Where We Saw That Random Kid in Endgame Before in the MCU
Who is that teenager from Avengers Endgame standing there at the end with our heroes — but a little apart — looking vaguely familiar? With no explanation given? It’s like Broom Boy from The Last Jedi, all over again. Who is that kid? Want to try to guess where you’ve seen him before in the…
