Tara Erickson, John Humphrey & Greg Alba enter 1920s Hollywood for their Minions & Monsters full movie reaction, review, and breakdown of Illumination’s latest Despicable Me prequel! New Minions James and Henry crash a silent-film set, become unexpected silver-screen stars, and eventually decide to create their own monster epic using a magical spellbook and some very real creatures. From the Minions’ accidental screen debut and outrageous Hollywood mansion parties to the arrival of "talkies," Goomi’s summoning, and a chaotic monster production spiraling completely out of control, Tara, John & Greg experience the animation, slapstick, and cinematic mayhem!

Directed by Pierre Coffin (Despicable Me, Minions) and written by Coffin and Brian Lynch (The Secret Life of Pets), Minions & Monsters features Pierre Coffin as James, Henry, and the Minions, Trey Parker as Goomi (South Park, Despicable Me 3), Allison Janney as Olivia (I, Tonya), Christoph Waltz as Max (Inglourious Basterds), Jeff Bridges as Frank and Elwood (The Big Lebowski), Jesse Eisenberg as Dort (The Social Network), Zoey Deutch as Debbie (Zombieland: Double Tap), Bobby Moynihan as Phillips (Saturday Night Live), and Phil LaMarr as Howard (Futurama).

Tara, John & Greg discuss James and Henry’s dynamic, the vibrant Old Hollywood setting, silent-film homages, Pierre Coffin’s iconic Minion performances, Trey Parker’s Lovecraftian Goomi, John Powell’s score, the creative monster designs, and how this adventure compares with Minions, The Rise of Gru, and the broader Despicable Me universe!

Star Wars: Starfighter & Ahsoka Season 2 had their debut at D23. Greg sits down with Kristian Harloff to talk about the current state of Star Wars after D23.
With Starfighter, Ahsoka Season 2, the future of the movies, and a new era of Lucasfilm taking shape, can Star Wars become a major cultural event again? Did years of Disney+ shows hurt the brand? Does Star Wars need a bigger plan moving forward? And what would it actually take to get audiences excited again?
We get into all of that, plus what Star Wars can learn from Marvel, the importance of moving beyond Episode IX, and whether the franchise can truly make a comeback.

THE NIGHT HE CAME HOME—AND CHANGED HORROR FOREVER!
Taking care of your health just got easier – start here with Zocdoc: https://zocdoc.com/REJECTS #sponsored

Jackie Bonsignore & Jon Maturan experience John Carpenter’s Halloween (1978) in this full movie reaction and review of the landmark slasher classic. Fifteen years after a horrifying childhood crime, Michael Myers escapes confinement and returns to Haddonfield, where babysitter Laurie Strode slowly realizes that the silent figure watching her may be far more than an ordinary man. From the chilling opening POV and Michael appearing behind the hedge to the ghost-sheet disguise, the iconic head tilt, Laurie’s closet confrontation, and John Carpenter’s legendary Halloween theme, Jackie & Jon encounter the night The Shape became a horror icon—all without spoilers here!

Halloween (1978) Full Movie Reaction Watch Along:
/ thereelrejects

Directed and scored by John Carpenter (The Thing, Escape from New York) and co-written by Debra Hill (The Fog, Halloween II), Halloween stars Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode (True Lies, Everything Everywhere All at Once), Donald Pleasence as Dr. Samuel Loomis (The Great Escape, You Only Live Twice), Nancy Kyes as Annie Brackett (Assault on Precinct 13, Halloween III), P.J. Soles as Lynda Van Der Klok (Carrie, Rock ’n’ Roll High School), Charles Cyphers as Sheriff Leigh Brackett (The Fog, Escape from New York), and Nick Castle as Michael Myers / The Shape (Escape from New York, The Last Starfighter).

Jackie & Jon discuss Jamie Lee Curtis’ feature-film debut, Michael Myers’ terrifying simplicity, Dr. Loomis’ warnings, Dean Cundey’s atmospheric cinematography, Carpenter’s unforgettable score, the movie’s slow-building suspense, its most influential scares, and whether the original Halloween remains the greatest slasher movie ever made.

The MCU X-MEN cast is here: Sadie Sink as Jean Grey, Kit Connor as Cyclops, Christopher Abbott as Professor X, Samara Weaving as Emma Frost, Inde Navarrette as Rogue, Maya Boyd as Storm & Adam Driver as Mister Sinister. Naturally, everyone is being extremely calm and reasonable about it.
We also dig into the AVENGERS DOOMSDAY news of David Harbour confirming Tony Stark?! Dave Bautista taking over as KRATOS in Amazon’s GOD OF WAR series, and the LANTERNS fallout surrounding Hal Jordan’s Death Scene — because apparently fandom needed a few more things to argue about this week.
Plus: Shawn Levy & Ryan Gosling’s GHOST RIDER coming together almost immediately while BLADE remains trapped somewhere in the Quantum Realm of development, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II speaking out about WONDER MAN, and the bigger question tying all of this together:
Marvel. DC. God Of War. Everyone’s happy. Everything’s fine.

RACCOON CITY WAS ONLY THE BEGINNING—NOW THE ENTIRE WORLD BELONGS TO THE INFECTED!
Taking care of your health just got easier – start here with Zocdoc: https://zocdoc.com/REJECTS #sponsored

Tara Erickson & Roxy Striar continue their journey toward Zach Cregger’s new Resident Evil movie with a first-time Resident Evil: Extinction reaction and review. Years after the T-virus escaped Raccoon City, Alice crosses a post-apocalyptic desert and reunites with Carlos Oliveira before joining Claire Redfield’s convoy of survivors while Umbrella scientist Dr. Isaacs continues hunting her. From Alice’s developing telekinetic powers and the terrifying infected-crow attack to the sand-covered ruins of Las Vegas, super zombies, Umbrella’s underground laboratory, and the monstrous Tyrant, Tara & Roxy experience the biggest Resident Evil movie yet!

Directed by Russell Mulcahy (Highlander, Razorback) and written by Paul W. S. Anderson (Mortal Kombat, Event Horizon), Resident Evil: Extinction stars Milla Jovovich as Alice (The Fifth Element, Monster Hunter), Ali Larter as Claire Redfield (Final Destination, Heroes), Oded Fehr as Carlos Oliveira (The Mummy, Sleeper Cell), Iain Glen as Dr. Alexander Isaacs (Game of Thrones, Downton Abbey), Mike Epps as L.J. Wade (Next Friday, The Hangover), Ashanti as Nurse Betty (Coach Carter, John Tucker Must Die), Spencer Locke as K-Mart (Monster House, Cougar Town), and Jason O’Mara as Albert Wesker (Terra Nova, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.).

Tara & Roxy discuss Claire Redfield’s live-action debut, Alice’s evolving powers, the returning survivors, Umbrella’s experiments, the infected-crow sequence, apocalyptic Las Vegas, Dr. Isaacs’ transformation, connections to the Capcom games, and how Extinction compares with Resident Evil and Resident Evil: Apocalypse before Zach Cregger’s new reinvention arrives.
