Spider-Man: Brand New Day: A Reboot and a Homecoming for the MCU’s Finest
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026) Destin Daniel Cretton As Morgan and I got seated in the theater tonight (albeit way too early—I figured there’d be lines out the wazoo for concessions, so we got to the theater 20 minutes before our showtime only to find zero line), I realized that I’d only ever seen four MCU movies in the theater before tonight. Those were the first Avengers, Spider-Man:…

Hadestown: The Musical: To Love is To Turn Around and Go Watch This Again
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Hadestown: The Musical (2026) Brett Sullivan What a month to be Greek at the movie theater! Morgan and I have seen ProShots of popular musicals in theaters a few times—Hamilton and Merrily We Roll Along, at least—and it has become one of my favorite things to do. I love seeing new (or new to me) musicals, and it’s reassuring that the ones getting theatrically released ProShots are going…

Moana (2026): A Good Time, But How Far Will This Go?
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Moana (2026) Thomas Kail At this point, it seems like Disney is going to release a live-action remake every year until I die, so I’ve done my best to accept that and develop what I think is a nuanced view of Disney’s business model. We’re definitely trapped in a vicious cycle here, where the live-action remakes fund the original movies—precisely why we need the remakes—and though…

Young Washington: Where Did We Come From, and Where Are We Going?
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Young Washington (2026) Jon Erwin After being on the road for most of last week, I was happy to get back to the theater today, and I barely squeezed in a patriotic watch on this Fourth of July weekend. Young Washington wasn’t really on my radar, and despite Angel Studios not really being my favorite studio, the trailer was interesting enough that I wanted to give it a…

Supergirl: Lost in Translation Without Gunn
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Supergirl (2026) Craig Gillespie I’ve had quite the superhero renaissance over the last few years, and it all started with James Gunn’s Superman. I saw that poster and trailer and immediately felt hope for the genre again. I felt many of the same feelings about Supergirl—my excitement most manifested in me reading the comic that this movie was allegedly based on—but those feelings waned as everyone on the…

The Death of Robin Hood: An Emotional Turnaround A Bit Too Late
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. The Death of Robin Hood (2026) Michael Sarnoski No matter what movie I saw today, it was going to be hard for it to follow Toy Story 5, which I absolutely adored. The challenger up to that task was The Death of Robin Hood, which I foolishly prepared for last week by rewatching the original animated Robin Hood. I could’ve gleaned this from the trailer, but these two Robin…

Toy Story 5: Holding On and Letting Go (for Kids!)
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Toy Story 5 (2026) Andrew Stanton The Toy Story franchise has been one of my favorites for as long as I can remember—Sammy and I had Woody and Buzz toys as kids—and I’d also confidently say the original Toy Story trilogy is one of the greatest movie trilogies of all time. My feelings on Toy Story 4 had teetered between “great but unnecessary” and “antithetical to Woody as a character” since it…

Masters of the Universe: Nicholas, Jared, and Travis Have the Power!
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Masters of the Universe (2026) Travis Knight I told you I was scheduling a lot of movies! I remember when Masters of the Universe was first announced a few years ago; I immediately added it to my watchlist, only after asking, “What’s Masters of the Universe?”. I didn’t ever watch the show as a kid, but I knew who He-Man and Skeletor were in the same way that I…
