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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

A YouTuber known for his video-game play-throughs, "Markiplier", has made an independent, feature-length film--it is an adaptation of an indie horror game of the same name: Iron Lung. Iron Lung achieved a "smash hit" opening, grossing over $21 million globally against a reported $3 million budget. His success proves to the world that we don't need Hollywood. Zoe found it surreal and inspiring to see his hard-work, blood, sweat and tears finally end up on the big screen, but she didn't necessaril...

"Wake Up Dead Man" is a part of the Knives Out Mystery series on Netflix and released on November 26, 2025. The response online caused a lot of curiosity in Zoe, especially since she loves a good murder mystery and thrillers. She finally gave it a watch and has a recommendation with a few caveats, but is overall very surprised by the movie's themes and gospel-sharing priest protagonist. Have you seen the film? What do you think? Did you enjoy it? Let Zoe know by sending a shoutout on the real f...

The blue people version of dances with wolves is back in theaters! That's right, Zoe is unpacking Avatar: Fire & Ash, the third movie in the franchise. This spoiler free review is short and sweet: if you liked the other movies, you'll probably enjoy this continuation. Zoe does recommend it with that caveat for the theatrical experience as the movie is visually gorgeous, the sound effects are great, and it's very entertaining. However, Zoe cautions parents wanting to take smaller kids, as there's...

CAUTION - This is a SPOILER FILLED deep dive discussion between two giant nerds: Zoe and her brother, Christian. Zoe and Christian grew up together watching theory YouTube videos and playing the Five Nights at Freddy's Games. Zoe self-classifies herself as a knowledgable fan, and Christian would describe himself as more of a casual fan. They have disagreements about the movie and go back and forth on several plot points, what they liked verses disliked, and what they predict the future holds for...

This recommendation boils down to one major factor: Are you a fan of the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise? This sequel movie highly depends on a viewer's previously knowledge of the games lore and online theories and encourages the continued online theorizing, which is part of what makes this franchise what it is. Zoe, as a big fan of the franchise, really enjoyed the movie personally but understands this is for a very small and specific audience and most people will have no idea what is going ...

Wicked: For Good is now in theaters and now it's time for a spoiler FILLED discussion! Zoe invites her friend Olivia Lee to compare the movie to the musical, dive into the "bad guy is misunderstood trope" and explore how parents and kids can unpack the themes of this story. Olivia loves theater and has seen the Wicked production and was super helpful in comparing the movie to the musical. She saw it at an age which she felt is perfect and appropriate for engaging in morally complex stories, lik...

Wicked: For Good is now in theaters but was it worth the year long wait for this part two? Zoe recommends this film if you were a fan of the first one, but if you haven't seen the first one you better watch it first or else you may be confused and lost. This film directly picks up where the story left off and is a natural continuation, just like how a stage production has an intermission and continues. Zoe was a fan of the first film, and really enjoyed this second part. She found it entertaini...

Zoe is joined by Ansen from Real FM's Afternoon Show. He is a father to three kiddos, but his two daughters are especially obsessed with K-Pop Demon Hunters. That is why he is here to discuss how Christian parents can navigate popular media with their kids, how to know when something is appropriate, how to engage with kids in asking questions, and how to see certain movies as opportunities. It can be tempting as Christian parents to say "no" to what's secular and popular, and if it has the word ...

Zoe takes a closer look at the surprise hit K-Pop Demon Hunters — a movie she initially dismissed but ended up loving. What looked like a flashy kids’ film turned out to be a heartfelt, action-packed story with humor, catchy songs, and deeper themes than expected. She unpacks the meaning behind the title, gives context for parents concerned about the word “demon,” and shares why this film is more than just a “girl movie.” Zoe also explores how the movie’s themes of shame, redemption, and sacrif...

It's Marvel VS D.C. at the box office right now as two comic book movies come head to head for your hard earned money, but which one will win the summer? Who knows, but Zoe is glad she spent her money seeing "Superman." Did we REALLY need another Superman movie? It turns out... YES! This movie is everything we need in a world that feels like it's getting darker every day. This movie inspires hope, bravery, selflessness, kindness, strength, justice, and all the good qualities of Superman, even t...

Spare yourself the expense! Jurassic World: Rebirth is NOT worth your time, energy, or money at the theater! It is also NOT for children. Zoe thought it was bizarre there were so many children (even a baby???) at her theatrical viewing of the film and she wants to remind listeners that it is rated PG-13, and it is not necessarily a family-film, there is a lot of intense action, mild horror, etc. Zoe doesn't recommend it for kids and she doesn't recommend it for anyone because this movie thinks y...

If you're looking for something good to stream, Amazon Prime recently released "The Accountant 2" on its platform. Zoe was hesitant and skeptical about a sequel to a beloved action film starring Ben Affleck, but her husband insisted they watch it. To their surprise, the film exceeded expectations! The film, while serious in its portrayals violence and crime, is also balanced with relatable characters. It is surprisingly heartfelt and Zoe highly recommends it, with the caveat that this is indeed ...

Is Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning the FINAL Mission Impossible movie? Is this the end of Ethan Hunt, aka Tom Cruise? Was this a great theatrical experience? How were the stunts? How was the action? Zoe breaks it down without spoilers! Have you seen the film? What do you think? Did you enjoy it? Let Zoe know on instagram by following her @reel.zoe In a world where movie tickets are pricey and you could spend hours browsing streaming platforms, Zoe is here to help by giving you the nuts...

Thunderbolts is the latest MCU theatrical release but will it save the floundering franchise? With so many characters and plotlines to juggle, will this film be able to tie it all together, even for audiences that haven't kept up? Zoe was pleasantly surprised by this film, enjoying it way more than she was expecting, having been so disappointed in the MCU for the past two years. The movie is fun but earnest, and explores themes not yet touched in the MCU. The film, however, does have more gun vi...

Zoe has been playing Minecraft since 2012, so she had very strong feelings when she saw the film's trailer. Originally, she wasn't planning on seeing the movie, but her husband dragged her to the theater and she was pleasantly surprised it didn't totally suck. It is a decent option at the theater right now if you're looking to see something during this easter weekend with the kiddos--it is very much a family film. Zoe also highlights the recent tiktok trend with teenage boys that involves trashi...
