The latest Pixar release that is now available on Disney+ is Elemental. In this Instant Reaction episode of the MovieBuffs Podcast, host Tyler Valencia gives his spoiler-free review of Elemental, talks about Pixar marketing issues, and why people aren’t talking more about Pixar movies. One of the most significant talking points that Tyler brings up is how audiences don’t know much about the Pixar movies these days being released. Pixar used to be a gigantic name in the animated movie realm, but with the other studios creating creative animated movies that are visually stunning and have a solid accompanying storyline, audiences are much less obliged to head to Pixar movies. Elemental is a creative animated story focusing on one family's growth in a major city. The young protagonist in this film is torn between following their heart or following in their parent's footsteps to take over the family business. Our lead character, Ember, struggles with pleasing her parents or starting a relationship with Wade, who comes from a different background.

An under-the-radar late summer release, The Equalizer 3 is a fun action movie that continues on the story of Robert McCall, an ex-intelligence agent set on helping those in need and settling the score for those unable to. The Equalizer 3 stars Denzel Washington and Dakota Fanning, in a storyline set in Italy filled with mafia ties, terrorism, and a small community that Robert has fallen in love with. Director Antoine Fuqua (Training Day & Southpaw) returns for this third installment and pairs him back up with Washington. Although not a film that will blow moviegoers away, this third installment features a solid story that audiences will connect with. Robert still packs a punch and is relentless in his pursuit of protecting the underdog, and the action featured is tasteful. In this episode of the MovieBuffs Podcast, host Tyler Valencia gives his spoiler-free review of The Equalizer 3, discusses the cast, and shares a problem that all action movies face today.

A welcomed surprise from DC Studios is Blue Beetle. Featuring a primarily Hispanic cast of actors, Blue Beetle focuses on family and culture, which are strongly featured throughout the movie. In the title role, Xolo Mariduena (Cobra Kai) packs a punch as Jaime Reyes and exceeds expectations. This Instant Reaction episode of the MovieBuffs Podcast gives a spoiler(-ish) free review of Blue Beetle and discusses its strengths and weaknesses. With DC Studios going through a soft reboot, which has seen many story arcs and characters leave the studio, Blue Beetle is one franchise that may continue with the new cast of DC superheroes. This production is mainly self-sustained and doesn’t feature any other DC character cameos, which is a nice welcome for a comic book movie. With comic book movies wanting to go bigger and feature more characters, Blue Beetle focuses on Jaime’s story and his connection to his family. Produced on a relatively modest budget for comic book movies, hopefully, Blue Beetle can outperform its box office projections and warrant a sequel.

If you’re looking for a new show or two, this rankings episode of the MovieBuffs will go over two shows on Apple+ and Max. Rankings episodes in the MovieBuffs Podcast are designed to provide our audience with series that are currently available for viewing and, if you want, binging. Host Tyler Valencia will share details about Trying, Ted Lasso, and C.B. Strike in this episode. At the moment, each of these series already has three seasons released, and both Trying and C.B. Strike are scheduled for a fourth. The most surprising part of this episode is where Tyler ranks the last season of Ted Lasso. Once a global hit, Tyler dives into why he thinks this show fell off a cliff and got away from what made it a unique watch. Sadly, this last season of Ted Lasso featured less about Ted and his quirkiness and more storylines that detract from what made viewers fall in love with this show. In no reality would a professional sporting team hire a coach from a completely different sport with no experience at the highest level of coaching. Despite that reality, Ted’s euphemisms and wacky stories made this show lovable. Its demise was noticeable and may be part of why it will not return for a fourth season. Let’s hear your thoughts on these three shows and where you would rank them!

Not just for racing fans or video gamers, the release of Gran Turismo is a story and cinematic experience that all moviegoers can enjoy. Based on the true story of gamer turned professional race car driver Jann Mardenborough, Gran Turismo follows Jann’s rise through the Nissan driver’s academy and up to his first 24 Hours of Le Mans. Directed by Neill Blomkamp (District 9, Elysium, and Chappie), this two-hour action-packed movie has excellent character arcs, visual effects, and a story that keeps watchers engaged. In this Instant Reaction episode of the MovieBuffs Podcast, host Tyler Valencia goes through all the details of the movie and then discusses his favorite elements of the story. One element that Tyler discusses is Neill Blomkamp’s directing. Having been out of the limelight for a few years and primarily directing science-fiction-based movies, Blomkamp hits a home run by integrating visual effects and character development. Blomkamp’s background in visual effects comes through in his movies as its integration is never overbearing or an afterthought. In Gran Turismo, the visual effects provide insight into Jann’s mindset and how he sees the racetrack. This movie is a great watch for all moviegoers and fun for racing enthusiasts.

The Haunted Mansion remake might be a welcome surprise for Disney fans in 2023. This remake brings a fresh story that includes adventure, action, and a lot of fan callbacks to the much beloved Disney ride.

Christopher Nolan fans rejoice! Oppenheimer has hit theaters and hit them in a big way. Oppenheimer has exceeded projections with a five-day global box office number that has already surpassed 200 million. Announced in September of 2021 after a studio bidding war had taken place, Oppenheimer is Nolan’s 12th film. Oppenheimer tells the story of J. Robert Oppenheimer and his role in developing the atomic bomb. Played by Cillian Murphy, Oppenheimer is a deep dive into this man’s history and psyche before and after the development of the atomic bomb. Shot without the use of CGI and available in IMAX, Oppenheimer is a film that is not only visually stunning but also mixed with a beautifully paired score. Along with Cillian Murphy, the cast is one of the most talented ensembles we’ve seen. The cast of Oppenheimer includes Emily Blunt, Florence Pugh, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., Josh Hartnett, Jason Clarke, Dane DeHaan, Rami Malek, Casey Affleck, and Alden Ehrenreich. With a handful of drama surrounding the release of this movie, Oppenheimer is one of the best movies to come out in the last ten years. One criticism around the social media sphere was that the Oppenheimer movie glorifies the atomic bomb. This movie does not “Hollywoodize” Robert Oppenheimer or make him appear in a better light than the unfortunate life that he lived. This is a must-see if you’re a cinema fan and want to experience a visually stunning movie.

Did you know Ben Affleck is a talented director? His latest release was the movie Air, which highlights the signing of Michael Jordan to the shoe company Nike. At the time, Nike was a small running shoe company that was struggling to sign premier athletes. Also, it was widely believed that Michael Jordan had no desire to sign with Nike. Air shows the turn of events that occur as Sonny Vaccaro pulls off one of the biggest business moves, which changes the trajectory of two now mega-sized brands. In this episode of the MovieBuffs Podcast, hosts Ronald Trujillo and Tyler Valencia review the movie and talk about their favorite scenes and some of the inside information they uncovered after watching.

The first of two DC movies set to come out in 2023 is The Flash. Recently released on July 16th and made headlines (good and bad) for its CGI, opening weekend, and cameos. The Flash, which stars Ezra Miller, Michael Keaton, and Sasha Calle, packs a punch in the non-stop action department, but why is it underperforming at the box office? That is one topic discussed in the latest episode of the MovieBuffs Podcast. This episode features a full breakdown of The Flash in the last third of the episode but kicks off with some movie news and a fun casting actors sketch. Whether you see The Flash in theaters or wait till it comes out on streaming, it’s a movie that will get a lot of buzz from the noise surrounding its release. With Ezra Miller’s off-the-screen issues, DC Studios going through a teardown, and the lackluster history of movies released by DC, fans are showing that they are unhappy with the wait DC Studios is being run. While The Flash does show moments of brilliance on the screen, it also has tonal shifts that were probably affected by the story having to be changed and cameos being taken out. This was director Andy Muschietti’s first directing job for DC, and he definitely did enough to warrant his appointment for the new Batman movie coming out in the future. Listen in on the episode and let us know what you think about The Flash. Did you like it enough to go to the theaters, or are you waiting for streaming?

One of the more underrated series to come out in 2023 is Jury Duty on Freevee. Freevee is the free version of the Amazon Prime app, which includes commercials. Jury Duty plays on the premise of a group of individuals showing up for jury duty, but the trial is fake, all but one is an actor, and everything storyline is staged. This show deals with individual moral judgments while leaning hard into the comedy aspects of the story. In this spoiler-free episode in the MovieBuffs Podcast, host Tyler Valencia shares why you should add this to your watchlist immediately and shares some of his favorite aspects of the show. Jury Duty stars James Marsden as an over-the-top version of himself and a cast of lesser-known actors you might recognize from many movies and shows. The series' creators are Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupinski. Jury Duty holds an 8.4/10 IMDb rating, 74% Rotten Tomatoes average, and 97% average audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.

A few years ago, fans revolted when Disney started to remake live-action versions of their beloved movies. Was it because it was changing, or was it because it was something they had held sacred to their movie upbringing? While it might have come from a good place, the anger shown by fans over these new live-action movies forgets what makes Disney so unique to kids. Disney creates films promoting imagination and the belief that following your dreams can lead to happiness. All kids should feel those feelings, and these new live-action Disney films usher in a new wave of fans that can enjoy the same characters with an upgraded cinematic experience. The latest installment from Disney is Peter Pan, directed by David Lowery. This 2023 release stars Alexander Molony as Peter Pan, Ever Anderson as Wendy, and Jude Law as Captain Hook. While the newest installment features slight changes from the 1953 release, it follows a similar story. In this Instant Reaction episode in the MovieBuffs Podcast, host Tyler Valencia gives his opinion of the latest Disney release, Peter Pan & Wendy, and how this movie is made for all kids to enjoy. Tyler shares how while this movie was enjoyable for him, kids of all backgrounds and uprisings can see themselves in the characters starring in this film.

One of the biggest releases of 2023 has arrived and it’s The Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3. This final installment in the trilogy was a wrap-up of these beloved characters but also the final directing duties for writer and director James Gunn. How did it go?

In this full review episode of the MovieBuffs Podcast, hosts Ronald and Tyler give their full opinion of the movie, discuss the main villain, and discuss where these characters go from here.

This movie features the last time these Guardians will be together and wraps up their story arc that was started in Volume 1 and it’s quite amazing how each character has grown over the trilogy. James Gunn has stated in interviews how Rocket Racoon (Bradley Cooper) has been the secret protagonist of these films and in this final installment, we see how this is actually true. All the connections to previous films come full circle and we are able to see how Rocket's creation ties into this period in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The first movie of 2023 to cross the billion-dollar mark at the box office is The Super Mario Bros. Movie. This animated version of the Nintendo-based characters features a stacked cast of voice actors and a story that is sure to please all the fans of the content. Starring Chris Pratt as the iconic hero Mario, Charlie Day as Mario’s sidekick brother Luigi, Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, Jack Black as Bowser, Seth Rogan as Donkey Kong, and Keegan-Michael Key as Toad. In this spoiler-free review, host Tyler Valencia gives his recommendation of whether to see the movie and goes through some of the issues he had with the story. This installment features a lot of scenes that fans will enjoy but does it come at the cost of the overall story? Yes, fans like to see action that reminds them of their favorite parts of the Super Mario video games but it is Tyler’s opinion that a better story would have made the movie more enjoyable. The movie has grossed a lot of money in its run at the box office but is it cause of its widespread appeal? The Super Mario Bros Movie is a fun watch for all ages and is a great reason to bring the whole family to the movies.

A popular series on Netflix which was recently renewed for another ten episodes was The Night Agent but does it live up to the hype? In this Instant Reaction episode in the MovieBuffs Podcast, host Tyler Valencia gives a spoiler-free review of the series and shares why he’s shocked that this series has already been renewed for a second season. Espionage/spy tv series has become a popular genre over the years and Netflix alone has released a variety of espionage-type series in just the last few years. In Tyler’s opinion, both Bodyguard and Treason are stronger series that warrants a watch over The Night Agent. One of the glaring issues for The Night Agent is its poor level of acting. As the series builds, the level of acting sadly falls off a cliff and you find the actors playing out cheesy one-liners you see in typical Americanized shows. The main actor Gabriel Basso sticks to his character's morals throughout the series which we have to give him credit for, but that leads to awkward scenarios in the later third of the series. Another issue that the casual watcher might pick up on is how quickly the series goes from being filmed in Washington D.C. to moving to Vancouver. The series opens with an action sequence that is clearly in one of the metro stations D.C. is known for but very quickly the series moves to a city skyline that isn’t D.C. Even the scenes that are supposed to be set at Georgetown University are not filmed at this iconic university and can easily be pointed out. If you end up watching The Night Agent come back to let us know your thoughts.

Fun and entertaining are two adjectives that easily describe Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. This new release has been a surprise hit at the box office and for those that sit down to give it a watch. Written and directed by the same duo that did Game Night, John Francis Daly and Jonathan Goldstein, created a movie that is wonderfully paced and laughable at many times. It features Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, Hugh Grant, Justice Smith, and Sophia Lillis. Coming in at just over two hours, this movie should be added to your watch list in theaters or once available for rent at home. One of the unique features of this script is how quickly it gets into the adventure of the movie. Even though the movie features magic, wizards, monsters, trolls, and humans, at no point does the movie describe the universe or how it came to be. Allowing the audience to get involved with the story and the characters immediately hook them in from the get-go and progress the story towards what the audience wants to see... an adventure.  In this spoiler-free review, host Tyler Valencia shares why Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is a solid movie that audiences of all ages can enjoy.

DC Studios' latest release is Shazam! Fury of the Gods was released on March 17th, 2023. Starring Zachary Levi as the title character, this sequel features some solid CGI and directing but doesn’t match the previous installment's story. In this Instant Reaction episode in the MovieBuffs Podcast, host Tyler Valencia gives his spoiler-free breakdown of the movie including plot holes, changes to the original story, cameos, and his favorite character. Unfortunately, this sequel falls victim to the curse of follow-ups but in Tyler’s opinion doesn’t fall on the director's shoulders. This movie is well-directed and paced, and the CGI is definitely high quality. Before this movie's release, the news of James Gunn and Peter Safran taking over DC Studios and planning a reboot shocked all comic book movie fans. While many fans are excited about this reboot, the negative cloud of uncertainty impacted the casual fans who wanted to see this movie. Although released at a time of certainty, this Shazam installment definitely answers the question of if Shazam will be around for DC’s new extended universe.

One of the biggest movies to hit theaters so far in 2023 is John Wick 4. After three action-packed installments, could director Chad Stahelski pull it off again? The answer is an emphatic yes and some more butt-kicking on top! This installment in the series features more martial arts sequences, car chases, and stunts, leaving the audience wondering where the time went with this almost three-hour movie. In this Instant Reaction episode of the MovieBuffs Podcast, host Tyler gives a spoiler-free review of John Wick 4 while talking about the action, lighting, cast & crew, and gives his favorite character not named John Wick. With two spin-off series already announced prior to its release, John Wick 4 comes out swinging (literally) and pushes the boundaries of martial arts on the screen. The cast for John Wick includes Keanu Reeves, Lawrence Fishburn, Bill Skarsgard, Lance Reddick (R.I.P.), Ian McShane, Clancy Brown, Donnie Yen, and Hiroyuki Sanada. The additions and continuation of the story revolving around John Wick’s mistakes set up more of the John Wick vs. everyone mentality we’ve seen in previous installments. The Marquee played by Bill Skarsgard is this installment's main antagonist and his main role is to finally kill John Wick using all the resources of the High Table. Have you seen John Wick 4 yet?

The quality of horror films have evolved over the last decade and movies like Barbarian really showcase the improvements in script, acting, and directing. Barbarian, which is written and directed by Zach Credgger, stars Georgina Campbell, Bill Skarsgard, and Justin Long.

Back Day episodes in the MovieBuffs Podcast are throwback movies and full breakdowns that include spoilers. The movie is split into two-parts and ultimately each storyline comes together as the movie gets to its climax. The first half follows the characters of Tess and Keith and how an accidental double booking leads them to share an AirBnB together.
