Gladiator II Movie Review
4 RecommendationsWatch Skip Plus Episode 106: GLADIATOR 2
HAPPY HOLIDAYS...ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!!?!?!!!! Turkey-Alex and a thankful Cupcake take on a sequel 24 years in the making - Gladiator 2! The Watch/Skip-er’s are recording back to back episodes so this week and next week’s “wicked” episode are a bit truncated...but we still dive below the line to discuss legendary director Ridley Scott and the screenwriters of this sequel to 2000’s original starring Russell Crow, and above the line with the gorgeous actors - Paul Mescal, Connie Nielsen, Pedro Pascal, Fred Hechinger, Joseph Quinn, and an out of control Denzel Washington (it’s a good thing....he’s mutherfucking KING KONG OF ROME, ok?). Is this a successful follow-up or does this movie not make it out of the Colosseum alive? #mutantbaboons
Emcee defers his plus, but Cupcake gives TWO...count ‘em TWO....Max streaming options for your holiday!
BEND THE KNEE AND GET IT IN YOUR EARS!

Wolf Man Review
1 RecommendationsHOWL AT THE MOON!!!! WATCH SKIP PLUS IS BACK!!!!
WS+ comes roaring back for Season 3! Apologies for the delay and keeping you in suspense about the “big news”: Sadly, Emcee has stepped away from the pod, and so Cupcake has a new host! Tune in as he and the (familiar) new co-host take on Wolf Man, an undercover Dark Universe/Universal Monsters reboot of the famous Lon Chaney, Jr. film “The Wolfman”. Written and directed by Leigh Whanell (a co-creater of the Saw franchise), will “Wolf Man” duplicate the thriller highs of Whannell’s other Universal Monsters reboot “The Invisible Man” or is this yet another trauma-themed, elevated horror film that’s all feels and no teeth?
TAKE A BITE OUT OF THE NEW WS+! And stick around for the PLUS....it’s now AFTER the movie review proper!
