On this live episode we review James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad . Jesse took the night off but still joins Melanie and Randy in spirit (or rather, in the live chat) as the duo shower Gunn’s twisted DC debut with praise… mostly. This may be the first DC film in a long time to get unanimous praise from the whole G-Crew. But is it being a DC film really that relevant? Don’t worry, this is surprisingly a non-spoiler review. On a related note, Melanie and Randy also talk more about the animated Harley ...

Last week, Netflix debuted “part 1” of Masters of the Universe: Revelation and all the angry fanboys collectively lost their minds. How dare Kevin Smith focus on a guuuurl in their He-man cartoon? How dare they attempt to inject character arcs, world progression, and a narrative that might actually (but didn’t really) have some kind of stakes? It was a WHITE hot fury that burned quickly. Like, really quickly. By the time we got a chance to chime in with our thoughts on Thursday it seemed everyon...

We do our best to avoid spoilers during our review. We also discuss the stylish though derivative action flick, Gunpowder Milkshake . It’s basically John Wick but with a solid cast of predominantly female leads including Karen Gillan. You know, Amy Pond from Doctor Who… And from there the entire episo...

On this live, unedited episode of Grawlix Nights we continue the weekly reviews of Marvel’s Loki . That’s a lot of Loki, you might be thinking.

Oh, and Hollywood is finally remaking a movie that SHOULD be remade and Edgar Wright is attached to direct!
