What's the difference between a piano and a fish? Who cares, says @UnGajje, focus on how great TUNER is instead! https://t.co/Pj07qbHaQz

[The Spool @thespool]

Spider-Noir has descended from the rooftops and @UnGajje couldn't be happier.

.@UnGajje has plenty of praise for I LOVE BOOSTERS despite feeling the film doesn't quite realize its range of ambitions. https://t.co/5tj8il45hS

[The Spool @thespool]

Despite brief thrills, Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu plays like a rerun of the TV series, says Lisa Laman. And not one of the good episodes.

With MARGO'S GOT MONEY TROUBLE airing its season finale today on AppleTV, the time is ripe to revisit @UnGajje's very positive review of the series. https://t.co/fSQeuz6luN

[The Spool @thespool]

LIFEHACK struggles with some of the same issues most screenlife films do, confesses @UnGajje. Nonetheless, it proves a well-oiled thriller that evokes an era of the internet that feels both moments and forever ago. https://t.co/e0il0YLRC7

[The Spool @thespool]

Inde Navarrette's tour de force performance and Curry Barker's assured directing make OBSESSION as unpredictable as it is entertaining, declares Lisa Laman. https://t.co/9X3nwDBgcM

Sarah Gorr can't stay silent on her love for SILENT FRIEND. https://t.co/J7vc2n9g0x

[The Spool @thespool]

In comic book terms, THE PUNISHER: ONE LAST KILL has enough story for an 8-page backup stretched over the course of a full one-shot says @UnGajje. That's a bad thing. https://t.co/hxgAISc7N5

[The Spool @thespool]

Lisa Laman declares IS GOD IS a remarkable, not-to-be-missed achievement. https://t.co/OliUPxlEFa

[The Spool @thespool]

With Netflix pushing the memeification of APEX hard on social media, @UnGajje decided to catch up with the survival flick. Alas, even Taron Egerton being a little weirdo can't make it tops. https://t.co/R0PNNkQJ8c

[The Spool @thespool]

Witty and enchanting, THE SHEEP DETECTIVES proves the biggest surprise in family films since PADDINGTON, argues Lisa Laman. https://t.co/5Cq5RdYphI

[The Spool @thespool]

"Solid as hell' HOKUM has the Sarah Gorr seal of approval. Read her review now. https://t.co/ORyvqCTS01

[The Spool @thespool]

[The Spool @thespool]

On this blessed 420, @UnGajje reviews PIZZA MOVIE, a nachos-dripping-with-hot-neon-orange-cheese film (complimentary). https://t.co/mB0wXsFui7

[The Spool @thespool]

Lisa Laman praises the darkly humorous Kontinental ’25 as another strong example of writer-director Radu Jude's commitment to depicting the modern world as Hell while still imbuing the feature with empathy. https://t.co/Eh19B4PGjs
