Jason Bourne (2016)
Jim and A.Ron have seen the latest film in Matt Damon's action spy thriller franchise, Jason Bourne, and find it reasonably Bourney, but missing a lot of the improvisational, desperate charm of the earlier installments, and missing a lot of its heart. Please enjoy our spoiler free review of the movie and discussion of the trailers we saw for upcoming fall releases, but if you want to hear our detailed spoiler-filled take on the movie, you'll have to be a Club Bald Move Member!

Star Trek: Beyond (2016)
Jim's on vacation, so filling in his spot is Cecily, A.Ron's co-host on the American Horror Story Podcast, True Blood Authority, Penny Earful, and life. A.Ron approaches the film from the perspective of a life long Trek fan, Cecily approaches it more from the casual fan perspective, but both are in agreement that this installment of Trek can best be described as "mediocre". The parts of it that work, really do work, as the effects are top notch and the cast continues to nail their homages to classic Trek characters. It's just that every single other aspect of the film is either generic or poorly executed.

Ghostbusters (2016)
A.Ron and Jim review the disgusting, ill-conceived, disgraceful actually quite delightful addition to the Ghostbusters franchise featuring a cast of stellar funny women in Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones, and Melissa McCarthy. The movie delivered solid action and laughs, a few gut busters, inspired performances by a lot of cameo actors who are clearly having a great time, and the correct and satisfying amount of respect and homages to the classic cast, including several nods to the late great Harold Ramis. So, to the dudes that hated on this film from the jump for no other reason than the fact that women had the temerity to re-make it, I got two words for you: Suck it!Enjoy our spoiler free review of the movie and discussion of upcoming films on the house, but if you want to hear our complete, spoiler filled take, you're going to have to be a Club Bald Move Member.

No Country for Old Men (2007)
Special thanks to the intrepid crew of Bald Move Commissioners who banded together to make this podcast happen; Keith Alejandro, Jen, Alex M, Matt DeRemer, Stephen, mydeardeadly, Andy G, Jefferson B, cocoa2mc, Gary Turco, Jasmyn P, Andrew K, Conner B, Martin K, and Geoffrey Bowser. Possibly the deepest commissioned roster we've had so far. And they had us review one of the greatest of the Coen Brothers productions, 2007's No Country for Old Men.What can we say? This movie is as beautiful, dark, and epic a Western as you could ask for. With an all star cast including Josh Brolin, Tommy Lee Jones, Woody Harrelson, and Javier Bardem, amazing source material from Cormac McCarthy, and stunning Texas scenery lovingly captured on film, it's easy to just let the movie and it's themes of fate and mortality sneak up and wash over you. Thanks a bunch for the commission, guys and gals, it was a pleasure. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Seven (1995)
Special thanks to our community commissioners Fernando Rodriguez, Flash Gordon, Jefferson B, Katie Gutierrez, cocoa2mc, pooljedi, Martin K, shockg11, Keith Alejandro, Ryan L, and jmyjnstn67 for coming together and making this podcast on the 1995 David Fincher helmed "Seven" possible. Neither Jim nor I had seen this movie in it's entirety, though some of us were more spoiled than others. We were surprised at how well the movie held up and managed to entertain despite the various exposure to spoilers. We discuss the film, it's message, our own bleak/positive worldviews, and much more.Thanks again to our merry band of commissioners, we couldn't do Bald Move without your support!

Independence Day: Resurgence (2016)
Jim and A.Ron have seen the latest potential summer blockbuster; Independence Day: Resurgence, and found it roughly as dumb as it's predecessor but minus quite a bit of the humor, charm, and charisma of the original. Please enjoy our spoiler-free review of the movie and our discussion of the new trailers we saw preceding it, but if you want our no holds barred spoiler take, you'll have to be a Club Bald Move member.

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Special thanks to Dave Dillon for commissioning the 1980s hit television series, Magnum P.I. We weren't sure what to expect, but after seeing the two part series premiere, "Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii", we're ready to recognize the greatness of the Mustachioed One. From war scenes that Punch waaayyyy above their weight, to Magnum perving on French Stews, we found the series consistently entertaining.Thanks again, Dave, we couldn't do it without you.

Magnolia (1999)
Special thanks to Lauren, Anne, and Rick who chipped in to commission this podcast on Magnolia for Alex Myers as a Christmas (!!!) present. Jim and I had never seen Magnolia, the Paul Thomas Anderson classic before now, and wow is it a doozy. Starring greats such as William H. Macy, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Julianne Moore, to name just a few, it involves a day in the life of a dozen or so characters on a collision course with fate and coincidence, and what they'll learn about themselves and each other along the way. Fueled by raw emotion and melodrama, we were intrigued by the complex tale being woven before our eyes. If you haven't seen it, check it out before we spoil it for you on this podcast, because it's an amazing film.Thanks again Lauren, Anne, and Rick! We couldn't do it without you.

X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)
It's that time again, time for Jim and A.Ron to review the latest comic book movie! This up is Bryan Singer's latest; X-Men Apocalypse. The big problem with this film is that it's just an okay comic book film, and we just don't think that's good enough in a world where there's six multi-million dollar comic boom films per year, especially in a year with Deadpool and Captain America 3. Your mileage may vary, depending on how big a comic book fan you are, in particular how big of an X-Men fan you are. If you want to hear our review and discussion of upcoming films, please enjoy the free podcast, but if you want to hear our detailed spoiler thoughts on the highs and lows of X-Men, you'll have to be a Club Bald Move member.
