It Lives Inside Review
Bibs and Tyler are back with yet another horror movie review. This one is from a director with 1 degree of separation from Tyler, which is how it ended up on my radar. It Lives Inside has a somewhat traditional horror/thriller setup but with some Indian-American cultural details that make it feel more fresh than a run-of-the-mill horror film. Great performances by the cast also elevate this film.
Did Tyler and Bibs think this one was worth your time? Tap in to find out.
- Non-spoiler section: First 16:34
Starring: Megan Suri (Never Have I Ever), Neeru Bajwa, Mohana Krishnan
Additional Cast: Betty Gabriel (Get Out), Vik Sahay, Gage Marsh
Directed by: Bishal Dutta
Written by: Bishal Dutta, Story by Ashish Mehta
Quick synopsis:
An Indian-American teenager struggling with her cultural identity has a falling out with her former best friend and, in the process, unwittingly releases a demonic entity that grows stronger by feeding on her loneliness.

The Blackening Review
Back again with Tyler Lennon and surprise, surprise it's a horror review. When I first heard about The Blackening I just assumed it was another ensemble parody horror movie and I was not paying much attention to it. Then I noticed a few people I liked in the cast, realized who the writer was, and had a little bit of a push to add it to my list.
I'm glad I did because this is one of my favorite movies of 2023. I laughed to the point of tears multiple times and enjoyed the ride from start to finish. I hope this catches on in theaters but if not, I'm sure it will become very popular once it hits streaming services.
Non-Spoiler review for the first 20:44
Starring: Antionette Robinson, Dewayne Perkins, Sinqua Walls, Grace Byers, Melvin Gregg, X Mayo, Jermaine Fowler
Additional Cast: Yvonne Orji, Jay Pharoah

Influencer Review and Interview with Director Kurtis David Harder
Every now and then you stumble across a hidden gem and that was the case with Influencer. I was scrolling on Twitter when I saw a few tweets about a new movie arriving on Shudder. I had nothing to watch and thought, "why not?" I'm glad I made that decision as I watched an early contender for best indie thriller of the year.
I brought Tyler along for the ride (of course) and we had the opportunity to speak to the director as well.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Deep Dive
When the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie was released, no one knew what to expect. We didn't know the characters, James Gunn wasn't a household name by any stretch of the imagination and Marvel hadn't really gone cosmic yet. We'd already grown to love and trust the brand but this was something new, something risky.
Fast forward 9 years and the Guardians name carries weight, so much weight that people are wondering if this movie will get Marvel back on track. James Gunn is widely respected, so much so that Marvel's competitor hired him to run their whole deal. This after Marvel fired him, allowed him to work on a pair of D.C. properties, then hired him back after realizing they had been too quick to act. It has been quite the journey with a lot of laughter but also a few tears along the way.
Would Guardians 3 deliver the same?
I'm joined in this discussion by Jose Mata. Someone I talk to often but is a first-time guest on the show. I hope you enjoy the convo.

Peacock Review: Bel Air Season 2
The dramatic retelling of the classic sitcom returned for its second season, but did it live up to the great first season? Reese returns to the show to talk about Season 2 of Peacock's Bel Air.

Enjoy the conversation.

Indie Movie Review of the Month: R.M.N. (Palme d'Or Nominee from Romania)
This week I'm back with another Indie Movie Review. I set out to do at least one a month but I have not released any since Free Skate back in January so you'll get a few in the coming weeks until I catch up.
Today's entry is R.M.N. A Romanian film that has been making waves since debuting at Cannes last year. Though the film is set in Romania, the main theme of the film applies to any Western country. While you are tracking the main plot, you'll also want to pay attention to the subplots as everything comes together in dramatic fashion at the conclusion of the film.
I touch on the details of the film in this review but do not feel I spoiled anything until the very end and there is a substantial spoiler warning before I get into those details.
Main Review: 00:12 - 21:25
Spoiler Section: 23:55 - End
Starring: Marin Grigore (Legacy), Judith State (Sieranevada which was a Palme d’Or nominee in 2016), and (Monsters)
Directed by: Cristian Mungiu (4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days), which was critically acclaimed. 60 nominations and 43 wins.
Written by: Cristian Mungiu

Evil Dead Rise Review
For months I planned to see Beau is Afraid on opening weekend, then the week arrived and the runtime was too much for me to endure. We'll reconsider when it's on streaming platforms. Tyler was expecting to come along for the ride on that one so instead we pivoted to Evil Dead Rise.
I had almost no familiarity with the previous entries in the franchise but thankfully Tyler did. The movie (at the time of this upload) is receiving rave reviews from critics and fans alike. The Rotten Tomatoes scores from critics and audiences are each over 80% Fresh, so how did these two horror fans feel about the movie? Tap in to find out.

The spoiler section starts at 33:50
Starring: Lily Sullivan, Noah Paul (Power Rangers Dino Fury), Alyssa Sutherland (The Mist, Vikings, The Devil Wears Prada), Gabrielle Echolls, Morgan Davies, Nell Fisher

Quick synopsis
A twisted tale of two estranged sisters whose reunion is cut short by the rise of flesh-possessing demons, thrusting them into a primal battle for survival as they face the most nightmarish version of family imaginable.

IMDB Top 100: Good Will Hunting
Welcome to the first entry in what I hope will be a long-running and fun series on this podcast. It is the IMDB Top 100 series and today's entry is none other than Good Will Hunting. Coming in at #84 on the list, Good Will Hunting is a movie that is often quoted and mentioned in movie conversations but until recently I had never seen it. Thankfully, my guy Rolo from 77 Spaces on Twitter is a massive fan of the film and he came on to talk to me about it.
These are likely to be more enjoyable if you've seen the movie yourself so if you haven't, cross it off your list and enjoy the conversation.
Starring: Robin Williams, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Stellan Skarsgard
Additional Cast: Casey Affleck, Cole Hauser, Minnie Driver
Directed by: Gus Van Sant
Written by: Matt Damon, Ben Affleck
Quick synopsis: Will Hunting, a janitor at M.I.T., has a gift for mathematics, but needs help from a psychologist to find direction in his life.

Air Review
I've been away for a few weeks but I'm dropping back into your feed with a review of the new Amazon movie Air! I brought along Shad Miller for this one because I am not a sneakerhead and I needed that perspective.
Air is a movie that I had no expectations for and was pleasantly surprised by. Great acting, great storytelling, some history, and most surprisingly some emotion. This movie covered it all. This is definitely one that is pretty easy to recommend.
Enjoy!
Starring: Matt Damon, Jason Bateman, Ben Affleck, Viola Davis
Additional Cast: Chris Messina (Birds of Prey, The Mindy Project), Chris Tucker, Marlon Wayans
Directed by: Ben Affleck
Written by: Alex Convery
Quick synopsis:
Follows the history of shoe salesman Sonny Vaccaro, and how he led Nike in its pursuit of the greatest athlete in the history of basketball, Michael Jordan.

Scream VI Review
The first episode of the previous season of this podcast covered the Scream requel and today I had to bring my guy Tyler back to cover Scream VI. There were big changes to the franchise and big swings taken with this movie so there were questions as to whether or not the magic would remain.
Tyler and I talked for about 3 hours but I condensed the conversation into the important beats and split it between a non-spoiler section and a spoiler section.
- Non-Spoiler Review (~24 minutes)
- Spoiler Review
Enjoy!

Additional Cast: Dermot Mulroney (My Best Friend’s Wedding), Jack Champion (Spider, in Avatar), Josh Segarra (Arrow, Sirens, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law), Liana Liberato (If I Stay, Trust), Devyn Nekoda (Sneakerella, Utopia Falls), Tony Revolori (Dope, Flash Thompson in Spider-Man: No Way Home), Samara Weaving (Ready or Not, Nine Perfect Strangers)

Netflix Series: Black Mirror
While recording the Scream VI review, Tyler and I got sidetracked talking about Black Mirror for a while. We talked about the show for almost 25 minutes and rather than waste that content, I put it into its own episode.
You'll see more one-offs as I plan to put out mini episodes discussing hit shows that people should watch. Consider this the first (and super unplanned) episode.

Oscars Alternate: The Bib's Corner Awards for 2022 Movies
It has been some time since I've been able to pull off my annual movie awards but I'm glad to be back. I'm also delighted that I got some of my guests from the past year to join me for this ride.
We all have our feelings about the major awards shows so I want to make sure I take the time to talk about the movies that I loved whether the old guard appreciated them or not. There are 11 categories for my awards, some are traditional, while others I made up to ensure a wider swath of candidates was represented.
2022 was a good year for film. There is great representation from indie films to blockbusters and 2023 is already off to a strong start.
I hope you enjoy what you hear!

Creed III Review
It's a panel discussion for the Creed III review with Bibs welcoming back Reese and Shad to discuss the latest entry in the Rocky franchise. The film brings together two rising movie stars in Michael B. Jordan and Jonathan Majors for the main event but they were not the only two who stood out in this film.
This was a fun discussion with some laughs and some serious talk as well. There is a spoiler warning before we get into the major details.
Enjoy!

Cocaine Bear Review (Spoilers)
One of the most anticipated films for me in a while was Cocaine Bear. It's not part of a universe, not featuring any actors I love, and isn't about a story that I necessarily cared about but it looked like it was going to be a ton of fun. Reese and I were both anticipating this film so I had to bring him along for the review.
If you know me, you know I try to avoid expectations because they can impact how you receive a film. Did having expectations backfire on me here? Listen to find out.
Starring: Keri Russell (Felicity, The Americans), Alden Ehrenreich (Solo: A Star Wars Story) O’Shea Jackson Jr. (Straight Outta Compton), Ray Liotta (Goodfellas)
Additional Cast: Isiah Whitlock Jr. (Da 5 Bloods, BlacKkKlansman), Brooklyn Prince (The Florida Project, Home Before Dark), Christian Convery (Sweet Tooth, Playing with Fire, Venom), Margo Martindale (Legendary Character actress 3 time Emmy winner for The Americans and Justified), Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Modern Family), Kristofer Hivju (Game of Thrones, Force Majeure)

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania Review
The MCU has kicked off phase 5 with Ant-Man and Kang. The reviews on Rotten Tomatoes have been mixed (bad critic reviews, great fan reviews) but it was time for me to sit down with two of my favorite collaborators to see how they felt about this one. I've said in the past that now that Cap is gone, Ant-Man is my guy so I needed this movie to come through for me. I was also on the Jonathan Majors train since The Last Black Man in San Francisco so I was excited to see him again after his MCU debut on Loki.
The one thing I was concerned about coming into this film was the recasting of Cassie so we kick the podcast off with that particular topic. Enjoy!
Starring: Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Michael Douglas, Michelle Pfeiffer, Jonathan Majors
Additional Cast: Kathyrn Newton as Cassie Lang (Freaky), Bill Murray as Lord Krylar, Katy M. O’Brian as Jentorra (Z Nation, Black Lightning, Westworld, The Walking Dead), William Jackson Harper as Quaz (Midsommar, The Good Place)
Directed by: Peyton Reed
Written by: Created by Jack Kirby, Written by Jeff Loveness (Rick and Morty)

Black Widow Review with Shad (Re-Upload)
(This episode was on the old Have you Scene feed and has been moved over)
In this episode of the Have You Scene? podcast I did something a little different again. I started with my spoiler-free review which I did solo. I brought in Shad (of the Uncool Urban and Shad vs. Smilez) for the spoiler section and then added a bonus clip of myself and my sister Shenelle at the very end. We get into a lot of different things in the spoiler section and end up talking about all things MCU at different points. We talked bout the Young Avengers for about 10-15 minutes but I cut that conversation out because it made the episode too long. Maybe you'll get that when it becomes relevant.
00:00 - 11:20 Spoiler free review
11:55 - 01:14:35 Spoiler review with Shad Miller
01:16:08 - End. Bonus clip with my sister.
Enjoy, and as always feedback is appreciated while I try to find the best way to do the movie review podcast thing.

Zola Review with Shad (Re-Upload)
(This episode was on the old Have You Scene feed and has been moved over)
After a long hiatus, I'm BACK with another review and another returning guest. My guy Shad Miller (@ShadMiller13) of The Uncool Urban (@theuncoolurban) and Shad vs. Smilez (@shadvssmilez) podcasts is back to talk about the new A-24 film Zola. The movie is based on the viral Twitter story from 2015 and the movie arrived on Wednesday, June 30. Shad and I break the movie down in a spoiler-free review in the first 20 or so minutes, then get into spoilers in the second half. Since Shad was very familiar with the story we also spent a lot of time breaking down what was in the tweets vs. what was in the movie vs. what we believed happened.
Enjoy!

Knock at the Cabin Review (Spoilers)
M. Night Shyamalan is back with another movie and fittingly I am back with another review alongside my Mavs Outsiders co-host Reese Williams. We had a blast reviewing Shyamalan's previous entry Old, which we both hated so we knew this review would be fun if nothing else.

Indie Movie Review of the Month: Free Skate
Today I'm back with my indie movie of the month. Covering independent films has been good to me and I want to make sure I am reviewing at least one indie film per month on the podcast. Free Skate is a movie about a young woman who flees Russia to escape the inhumane treatment she received as a member of the figure skating program. The movie is written by former gymnast Veera Vilo and draws from some of her personal experiences and the experiences of her peers and colleagues. Consider this another entry in the #MeToo movement's wave of women's survival stories.
Though the movie is set in Finland and Russia, the primary language spoken is English.
Starring: Veera Vilo
Directed by: Roope Olenius
Written by: Veera Vilo
Quick synopsis: A promising figure skater flees from Russia to Finland to escape her inhumane circumstances.

A Man Called Otto Review (Light Spoilers)
I'm dropping back into your feed today for a review of Tom Hanks' A Man Called Otto. This was a movie I initially didn't plan to see but due to decent word of mouth, great reviews, and nothing else enticing me to be in theaters at the time, I gave it a chance. I'm glad I did.

Additional Cast: Cameron Britton (Mindhunter, [Ed Kemper], The Umbrella Academy), Mike Birbiglia (Comedy Specials)

M3GAN Review (Spoilers)
Episodes two weeks in a row? Who is this guy? That's right I'm back this week with another review and this time it is the creepy horror doll M3GAN. I personally had fun with this movie and this review is being brought to you again because someone reached out saying they wanted to come on for the review. Let's hope the trend continues.
A lot of movie details come up so I would recommend watching the movie before listening to the review.
Otherwise, enjoy!

The Whale Review (Spoilers)
A new year means I'm changing something about the movie podcast but I'm hoping this is the last major change. The BibsCorner Podcast is now "Have You Scene?" since I'm only doing movie reviews here anyway. I spent time putting that name and logo together so I might as well use it, right?
With that said, The Whale is a movie that is getting plenty of awards buzz and I finally got the opportunity to see it. Add to it the fact that one of my IRL friends wanted to do a podcast about it, I had to find a way to see it. The discussion went longer than anticipated but I hope you enjoy it!
Movie: The Whale
Starring: Brendan Fraser (The Mummy), Sadie Sink (Stranger Things), Ty Simpkins (Insidious, Iron Man 3, Jurassic World), Hong Chau (The Menu, Watchmen)

Violent Night Review (Spoilers) with Reese Williams
In episode 25 of the 3rd season of the Bibs Corner Podcast, I brought Reese back to talk about the Christmas action, thriller Violent Night. I think it's safe to say this movie caught both of us by surprise and we definitely did not plan to talk about it in advance but here we are.
This was a fun convo about a fun movie.

What to Watch This Weekend: Featuring Lee Jung Jae's Hunt and more
In this episode, I talk about three very different movies that you may want to take a look at this weekend in what is the first in a series of "What to Watch" episodes.
I was fortunate to receive a screener for Lee Jung Jae's (Squid Game) directorial debut, Hunt, so I give a quick review for that movie before getting to two other films of interest that became available this weekend. As I mentioned above, I do plan to make this a quick weekly segment so be on the lookout for these going forward. If I've gotten a screener for any films releasing that week I'll do a review but otherwise, I'll just give the details of the movie and where you can watch it.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (Deep Dive) with Reese and Shad
I'm dropping back into your feed with a big one. This time it is an in-depth discussion about the latest Marvel entry, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. This was a heavily anticipated film for many reasons and personally, I'm glad to put it behind me.
There were several questions that needed to be answered in this film. Would the movie properly honor Chadwick Boseman? Would they successfully transition the Black Panther mantle from T'Challa to someone else? How would Namor work as an antagonist? And how would this film fit into the larger MCU.
We discussed all of these things and more.

Academy Award Contender (Best International Feature): Holy Spider Review with Tyler Lennon
I'm dropping back into your feed today with a special film and something new for me on this podcast. As I get back into the swing of reviewing indie films, every now and then a hidden gem will land in my lap and that is the case here. I knew this film was special as soon as I read the description so I brought Tyler with me to view the film and have a deep-dive discussion about it.

Based on the horrific true story of serial killer Saeed Hanaei, acclaimed writer-director Ali Abbasi (Border) unveils a gripping crime thriller and a daring indictment of a society in which rough justice is routinely a fact of life.
Main things to know:

Raymond Lewis: L.A. Legend Documentary Review (with Shad Miller)
In this episode of the BibsCorner podcast, Bibs is joined by frequent collaborator Shad Miller to review a basketball documentary. The name Raymond Lewis is not one that you have heard most likely, but that is exactly why you should watch this documentary.
Synopsis: The powerful, racially charged story of a “one-in-a-generation” basketball phenom from South Central Los Angeles—who was a first-round draft pick by the Philadelphia 76ers at age 19 in 1973, but who many believe was blackballed from the NBA and who never played in a professional game—is revealed in the award-winning documentary, Raymond Lewis: L.A. Legend."
Shad and I both enjoyed this documentary for many reasons and if you are a basketball junkie and enjoy learning more about the history of the game, this documentary is a must-see. The movie is available as of November 1st on iTunes, Amazon Direct Video, Google Play, Microsoft, InDemand, Plex, Roku and Fandango.

Black Adam Review (No spoilers)
The Rock promised to shift the balance of power in the DCEU with Black Adam. This was his passion project, the character he has been trying to play for over a decade. The question is, did he accomplish his goal?
I personally knew very little about Black Adam besides the fact that he was somehow tied to Shazam, and I knew that I enjoyed Shazam. I hoped that I would enjoy this movie just as much. Admittedly, as a person who doesn't watch trailers I had no idea what I was in for with this movie so all but the opening action scenes were new for me.
In these 30 minutes, I'll tell you how I felt.

Disney Plus Review: She-Hulk Season 1 Deep Dive featuring Reese Williams
She-Hulk released on Disney Plus with a lot less fanfare than the Marvel shows that came before it. The show also marketed itself differently selling itself as a lawyer sitcom with Superhero elements. They didn't lie, and while incels review bombed the series before it came out, there were those who legitimately could not get into the show.
Bibs and Reese were not among them, but even so, the finale left some disappointed. In this spoiler review Bibs and Reese dive DEEP into the show, most specifically the last two episodes.
Enjoy!

They didn't lie, and while incels review bombed the series before it came out, there were those who legitimately could not get into the show.
Bibs and Reese were not among them, but even so, the finale left some disappointed. In this non-spoiler review Bibs and Reese let you know how they felt about the series, and especially the finale.
Enjoy!

Don't Worry Darling with Reese Williams (@MindOfReese)
Don't Worry Darling is a movie that has made a lot of headlines for a lot of the wrong reasons. A quick list includes: Shia LaBeouf leaving the production, Olivia Wilde telling us that she fired him, Shia saying that he left voluntarily and releasing a video of Olivia Wilde begging him to come back while speaking to him like Florence Pugh was the problem, Olivia Wilde having an affair with Harry Styles, and much more! It's an accomplishment that this movie even managed to be completed let alone get a full media push and theatrical run.
However, the film is here and now it's time to judge it on its quality. I brought Reese along for the ride since he forced me to watch the movie. It's a shame that at one point I was excited about this film but by its release, I spent 53 cents on the ticket reluctantly. As always we had a non-spoiler convo and then dove into the spoilers in the back half.
Enjoy!

Apple TV Plus Review: Severance Deep Dive with Josh and Larhonda Sparrow
In this review I did a lot of things differently. First, we recorded in person. Second, we reviewed a show that concluded a few weeks ago, and finally, I recorded with some I.R.L. friends. People have been recommending that I watch Severance for some time and, though the show lost in the show tournaments I ran on Twitter, I decided to check it out while I was traveling.
The show is very different from any show I could think of and the three of us had to take some time to think of shows to try to compare it to. It's a show that builds out its world slowly, and intentionally, and each episode leaves you asking more questions than the one before. Now normally, that would be a bad thing but this show makes it work by answering your previous questions when it does so. The cast is great, you will fall in love with at least one character and by the end of the series, you will be dying for the new season to drop.
Enjoy the conversation!

Nope Review with Tyler Lennon (@Tyler_Lennon)
In the latest episode of the Bib's Corner Podcast, friend of the show Tyler Lennon is back for a review of one of my most anticipated movies of the year. Jordan Peele's 3rd movie, Nope. Starring Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer, Nope being Peele's 3rd entry meant that I was finally going to be able to decide whether or not I can crown him as one of the greats.
I knew very little about the movie going in, by design, and I had to watch the film twice and have this entire conversation to decide where I was going to land on it. We touched on everything we could think of pertaining to this movie and by the end, I hope we hit all the lingering things you might have had questions about. This was a fun conversation.

Disney Plus Review: Ms. Marvel Deep Dive with Saib Kazmi (@SSaibK)
In this episode of the Bib's Corner Podcast, I bring on Saib Kazmi to talk about Disney+'s Ms. Marvel series. The show centers around a Pakistani-American girl, and huge Captain Marvel fan, who discovers that she has superpowers of her own. Iman Vellani, a real-life Kamala Khan fan, gets to bring the character to life and does so in an amazing way.
The series' biggest strength is that it gives you a lot of characters to root for. Kamala herself is great but each of the people in her life has a lot of depth and has their own things going on which is not always how these Marvel series' operate. In the review, I mention that if Kamala had no abilities and I was just watching this teenage girl live her life I'd still enjoy the show. The fact that this is a Marvel property is a bonus.
I brought on Saib to make sure that I was able to bring a Pakistani-American perspective to the review and Saib helped me answer all the questions I might have had about the portrayal and the show itself.
Enjoy!

Thor: Love and Thunder Review with Reese Williams @MindOfReese
I'm back with Reese yet again, this time for the latest Marvel film review. Thor: Love and Thunder is a movie that many were anticipating for different reasons. It would be an expanded role for Natalie Portman's Jane Foster, the return of Tessa Thompson's Valkyrie, Chris Hemsworth in his 4th Thor solo film, and Christian Bale entering the MCU as the Gorr the God Butcher. Taika Waititi changed the game in Thor: Ragnorak so would he deliver with the new expectations?
Reese and I tried to cover every single piece of this movie before falling into general MCU talk by the end so hopefully, we didn't miss anything but let us know if we did.
Enjoy!

Top Gun (1986) and Top Gun: Maverick Review
Welcome back to the Bibs Corner Podcast. Today we are bringing you a very late Top Gun review. I promised these a very long time ago and I apologize that these are coming so late.
Before watching the new movie I went back and watched the original movie that came out before I was born. All my life I was under the impression that this movie was a classic beloved by all but when I told people I was going to be watching the old movie, they all told me how bad it is. Essentially, they said that the movie did not withstand the test of time but I personally don't see how this was ever seen as a good movie. It was incredibly goofy to me but that's neither here nor there. The more important issue was that there was no real emotion in the movie despite events being there that should have made it emotional.
Fast forward and we get a super late sequel to a dry movie, how could they possibly make this worth our time? Well, It's no secret if you've heard me talk about Top Gun: Maverick, they certainly did it.
Enjoy!

The Black Phone Review with Reese (@MindOfReese)
I'm back! This time joined by Reese yet again for a review of the new "horror" film The Black Phone. The movie sees a very busy Ethan Hawke and a cast of young (mostly) newcomers in a movie about young boys being abducted. Hawke plays "The Grabber" and our lead Mason Thames plays the main character in the film Finney, the 6th kidnapping victim. Finney's sister Gwen is played by Madeleine McGraw and she was great in this film as well.
The movie has supernatural elements to go with the mystery/thriller and Reese and I sat down to discuss whether or not we enjoyed the movie as well as where we put The Black Phone in our rankings and rating systems.
Enjoy!
