Daniel, Shahbaz, & Anthony review David Leitch's THE FALL GUY starring Ryan Gosling, Emily Blunt, Winston Duke, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Stephanie Hsu, and Hannah Waddingham. Inspired by the hit 1980s TV series, The Fall Guy is a stuntman, and like everyone in the stunt community, he gets blown up, shot, crashed, thrown through windows and dropped from the highest of heights, all for our entertainment. And now, fresh off an almost career-ending accident, this working-class hero has to track down a missing movie star, solve a conspiracy and try to win back the love of his life while still doing his day job. What could possibly go right? The Fall Guy releases exclusively in theatres May 3, 2024 by Universal Pictures.

Daniel and Shahbaz review Season 1 of FALLOUT, an Amazon Original series starring Walton Goggins, Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, and Kyle MacLachlan. Based on one of the greatest video game series of all time, Fallout is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. 200 years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind — and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird and highly violent universe waiting for them. The series comes from Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy. Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner serve as executive producers, writers and co-showrunners. Fallout will be available to stream exclusively on Prime Video on April 11, 2024.
