Critical and Curious Presents Hobbs and Shaw

We discuss Hobbs and Shaw (2019) in this Season 1 supplemental episode, Dwayne The Rock Johnson, Jason Statham, Vanessa Kirby, and Idris Elba star in this off-narrative comedic extension of the Fast and Furious universe that elaborates and parodies many elements of the franchise. The hilarious antagonism, the existential villains, and the conflict between the family you have and the family you make. Filled with great dialogue and profound commentary, the film continues to show us where this series can go.

Cameo Keanu

In this Season 2 supplemental episode, we return to our star study of Keanu Reeves with a focus on his cameos in Always Be My Maybe and Toy Story 4. Released within weeks of each other in 2019, Keanu’s characters are deeply flawed yet delightfully unaware in both films, continuing his embrace of the beta male and commenting on mediated expectations. Along with brief mentions of Keanu (2012) and The Spongebob Movie: Sponge on the Run (2021), we discuss Keanu’s willingness and eagerness to laugh at himself.
