Coyote vs. Acme (And How It Almost Didn't End Up in Theaters!)
Do you like wacky cartoon shenanigans? Clever slap stick humor? A story with a solid message and filled with heart about an underdog, teamwork, and hope? Then I think you might enjoy the unexpected yet also not surprisingly successful box office hit, Coyote Vs Acme in theaters right now! Zoe calls this the "perfect end of summer family flick!" Appropriate for everyone in the family, rated PG. The crazy thing about this movie is how we almost never would have seen it thanks to the Warner Brother

The Sheep Detectives (Reel 1)
What are two things you wouldn’t expect to go together except maybe in a mad libs read? That’s right: sheep and detectives. Yet that's the kind of silly premise that Zoe loves which is why she was super excited to watch The Sheep Detectives on Amazon Prime. Zoe wishes she had seen this one in theaters instead of the other film she chose at the time, The Devil Wears Prada 2 (which ended up being a disappointment for her). Overall, Zoe gives this film a recommendation so you can stop scrolling fo

Spiderman: Brand New Day (Reel 1)
In some ways, it's hard giving this a spoiler free review because most people have already made up their minds on whether or not to go see the latest big blockbuster like Spiderman: Brand New Day. If you are a fan of the Tom Holland Spiderman movies, Marvel movies, etc., you'll probably enjoy this one! Zoe did hear some people say they were "bored" during this movie, and to that Zoe frankly questions their doomscrolling attention spans... Yes, the film is a bit sombre and subtle, but that's bec

Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender (Reel 1)
It is tragic we do not get to experience Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender in theaters, but on the bright side, this movie exists. Zoe highly recommends this film to those who love the original animated series Avatar the Last Airbender from Nickelodeon, and discusses in a spoiler-free way why exactly she loved this movie, from the animation, the characters, voice-acting, to the storytelling. The film is available both as a digital purchase on Amazon Prime or to stream on Paramount+, with an optio

Backrooms (Reel 1)
Imagine describing a dog to someone who’s never seen a dog and then asking that person to draw a picture of a dog… They might get some stuff right, but some stuff wrong… Thats kinda what its like trying to describe the new movie Backrooms, which is a feature length film based on a YouTube found-footage series based on an internet creepy pasta, about a subliminal space that just isn’t quite right, and in fact something very creepy is going on. Zoe, a fan of this very niche internet content was v

The Devil Wears Prada 2 (Reel 1)
Does the Devil Wears Prada 2 make the cut, does it walk the runway, or is it missing the trip to Paris? In this review (which accidentally does contain some LIGHT spoilers the further into the episode you listen, since Zoe goes on some tangents!) Zoe encourages people to watch the original The Devil Wears Prada and if you are curious about this sequel, it is a good idea to catch it on streaming or rent at home - not worth the theatrical experience. Have you seen the film? What do you think? Di
