HOLD ONTO YOUR V*&INAS! M3GAN IS BACK….BUT IS IT AN UPGRADE? Blumhouse/Atomic Monster hit M3GAN is back with a sequel that swings so far from its horror origins the WS+ boys couldn’t review it without bringing on their YouTube brother in arms John Horgan from the “...And Now For Something a Little Bit Different” channel. Director Gerald Johnstone was clearly given free range to give us a sequel that ostensibly wants to be “Terminator 2 meets Demolition Man” but is THAT what fans of the origi...

A SECOND JOHN WICK SPINOFF? ONE OF US HATED THIS S*^T! Pretty sure the pitch went like this: “Let’s do a female John Wick with that sexy girl who was in No Time to Die…we’ll get that Underworld director; he knows how to make a female action star…guaranteed box office.” Weeeeeeellllllll…. This week the Boyz take on “Ballerina: From the World of John Wick”, the second spin off (if you’ve been paying attention) from the famed, possibly never ending, but Keanu-is-getting-too-old “John Wick” franchis...

BRING HER BACK….or rather…..BRING YOUR BARFBAG! The Boys would write a cogent summary for this episode but they are still gagging and curled up in the fetal position having seen “Bring Her Back”, the latest from YouTube stars-turned-directors/A24 darlings, Danny and Michael Philippou. As if their debut horror film “Talk To Me” wasn’t intense and scary and horrific enough, “Bring Her Back” said, “Hold my beer.” Bring your spiritual talismans and salt circles, WilDaBeast and Cupcake slice and dice...

Openly gay director Christopher Landon was dropped from the Scream 7 sequel but returned to this dropped project which he was writing. Drop stars the gorgeous and electric leads Meghann Fahy and Brandon Sklenar. Will this taut, tense, and tight movie be embraced by the movie-going audiences or will they drop it in the trash bin?

UNICORNS BE BUGGIN’!!!!! WillDaBeast and Cupcake roll out the ancient tapestries for A24’s unique genre mashup film “Death of A Unicorn. This satire horror film - Think “My Little Pony” only “My Deathkill Pony” - is quite unique in its extremes, especially for a first time filmmaker. Loaded with a great cast - Paul Rudd, Jenna Ortega, Will Poulter, Richard E.
