    Lights, Camera, Action?  - A Wrap of the Summer Movie Season
    Let the fall season of A Fans Perspective begin!

    To kick things off, we give our thoughts on the succeesses and failures of this past summer movie system. To us, it felt like the first time we had multiple movies at the theater to enjoy. We discuss what we enjoyed, what we missed, why certain things didn't work, and why others didn't. We also dive into what may be the reason certain movies, and certain studios aren't as successful as they were in the past.

    Hope you all enjoy!

    The Flash: A Paradox within a Paradox

    The Flash: A Paradox within a Paradox
    Hey guys, welcome back!

    This week, we are talking about what is probably the biggest box office disappointment of the year so far. The Flash had everything it needed to be great, but it zigged when it should have zagged way too many times.

    In this episode we get into our biggest issues with the film, its saving graces, and why it had some good concepts, but it didn't expand on it, in a positive way. We also share our thoughts on the WGA and SAGAFTRA strikes and the future of Hollywood.

    Hope you all enjoy!

    Choosing Your Own Path Across The Spider-Verse

    Choosing Your Own Path Across The Spider-Verse
    Hey guys, we are back! It's been a while, and there is A LOT of content to talk about. And unfortunately, it has been a bit tricky to get to all of it. But we are going to try!

    In this episode, we talk about what is probably our favorite animated film of the year so far: Spider-Man: Aross the Spider-Verse. We get into why the opening sequence with Gwen threw us off, whether the Spot was a good villain, the role Miguel plays in the films, and the shocking twist at the end.

    We really enjoyed this movie, and we hope that you guys enjoy this episode!

    Once and Always for What?! - A review of Power Rangers: Once and Always

    Once and Always for What?! - A review of Power Rangers: Once and Always
    Welcome Back guys!

    This week, we are revisiting the past while also talking about the present. We are discussing Power Rangers: Once and Always and why it just...isn't there. While CJ may not be a big fan, Power Rangers was a key part of Shelby's childhood. And to say he's disappointed, is a bit of an understatement. We talk about why it misses the mark, what it could have done better, and why it could have treated some of the other actors better.

    We also dive into what it means to be a fan or part of a fandom, vs just enjoying a series. The answer may surprise you!
