Beef Vegan and Mari are joined by resident film critic Herb Stratford for our Friday edition of The Podcast Broadcast!
It's a HUGE weekend for new releases, so Herb is here to answer the only question that matters: What's actually worth watching?
� Herb Reviews This Week’s New Releases
� The Dog Stars (Theaters)
Jacob Elordi, Josh Brolin, Margaret Qualley and Guy Pearce take us into a post-apocalyptic world where a virus has wiped out most of humanity and the survivors are being hunted by roaming scavengers known as Reapers.
� Coyote vs. Acme (Theaters)
After years of wondering if we'd ever actually get to see it, Wile E. Coyote finally gets his day in court! When ACME's products repeatedly fail him, Coyote hires an equally unlucky attorney to sue the company responsible for decades of pain, explosions and falling anvils. Will Forte leads the cast.
� Idiots (Theaters)
Dave Franco and O'Shea Jackson Jr. play two down-on-their-luck drivers hired to transport a wealthy teenager to rehab. Simple enough—until drugs, crime and complete chaos turn the trip into a disaster.
� Buddy (Theaters)
Keegan-Michael Key stars in what initially looks like a colorful children's world filled with singing, dancing and happiness. Then one kid refuses to participate... and suddenly Buddy isn't so friendly anymore.
� Colony (Theaters)
From the creators of Train to Busan comes another nightmare scenario: a biotech conference becomes ground zero for a rapidly mutating virus, trapping everyone inside as the infected begin transforming.
� The Whisper Man (Netflix)
Adam Scott, Robert De Niro and Michelle Monaghan star in a dark thriller about a widowed crime writer whose 8-year-old son disappears. The investigation leads him back to his estranged father—and a decades-old serial killer case involving the terrifying Whisper Man.
� What Should You Watch This Weekend?
Herb gives us the good, the bad, and the "wait until streaming", while Beef and Mari decide which movies are actually getting their money.
Plus, today's biggest headlines, movie news, viral videos, entertainment stories, and whatever completely derails the show along the way.
Fast. Funny. Unfiltered.
