Tim Hawkins is a funny guy—so funny, in fact, that he’s been making a living at it for more than 20 years as a comedian.

The Revenant, like the land it depicts, is beautiful, brutal and unforgiving.

As of January, KPop Demon Hunters has been viewed a staggering 540 million times, according to Netflix—so we thought it was time for another Plugged In Rewind!

As far as spy thrillers go, The Night Agent is par for the course. But as far as family viewing goes, it might be better to blacklist this one.

‘H is for Hawk’ is at times beautiful and moving, at times hard and cutting. This film is not to be cuddled, and it holds no easy answers.

‘Dead Man’s Wire’ is indeed a well-made movie—as tightly wound as a wire itself. But this movie, too, is tethered to some real problems.

Tarantino’s skills are considerable. But excess might as well be his middle name. ‘Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair’ is all about that excess.

For Winter Olympic sports, you can find movies about skiing, skating, hockey and more. But what are some medal contenders for family viewing.

Though it’s compelling, the content concerns in Prime Video’s ‘Cross’ might be enough to cross it off your watch list.

A24’s ‘Marty Supreme’ is the bloodiest, foulest, most obscene movie about table tennis that you’ll ever see.

‘Is This Thing On?’ has some unexpectedly resonant thoughts on marriage but also pervasive profanity and plenty of sexually charged jokes.

‘Primate’ clocks in with an under-90-minute runtime. But that feels about 75 minutes longer than this movie deserves.

‘The Plague’ is more than just the film’s name. It describes how perhaps we should treat this film itself: Avoid it, or feel sick.

‘The Housemaid’ is clever, forgettable and quite problematic in a great many ways.

Apple TV+ seems to have a knack for creating deeply heartfelt, wildly problematic comedies. Shrinking is one of them.
