I’m joined by my friend Jessica as we dive deep into the Internets to discuss Searching, the new techno-thriller starring John Cho. Then we go over items we’ve been streaming recently, including the very good thriller Marrowbone (now available on Hulu) and the upcoming 20th (!) season of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. We’re gonna have to get used to that. Find us on Facebook, Twitter and Letterboxd.

It’s a full house as I’m joined by my friend Brittany (along with her husband Andrew, my wife Aubree and of course, Ebert the Corgi) to discuss Eighth Grade, the directorial debut of stand-up comedian Bo Burnham. Then we go over some other titles we’ve been watching, including TV Land’s series Younger and the parenthood dramedy Tully. It’s gonna be lit. Find us on Facebook, Twitterand Letterboxd.

I’m joined by my friend Andrew as we choose to accept to review Mission: Impossible – Fallout, the newest film in the Tom Cruise-starring action franchise. Then we discuss some other recent offerings as well, including the new Hulu series Castle Rock, the surprisingly effective comedy Blockers and the generally dismal Ready Player One. I also somehow mix-up Brian’s Winter with Brian’s Song, so there’s that. Find us on Facebook, Twitterand Letterboxd.

I’m joined by my friend Paul as we break down the wild and sometimes wonderful Sorry to Bother You, the first film from rapper Boots Riley. Then we get to other films we’ve digested recently, including the new Sicario sequel Sicario: Day of the Soldado and the Fred Rogers documentary Won’t You Be My Neighbor? (tissues are highly recommended for the latter). Find us on Facebook, Twitterand Letterboxd.

On the tenth episode of Awake in the Dark, I’m joined by my incredible in-laws Deb and Dennie Doud as we discuss Incredibles 2, the new animated film from Pixar. Then we discuss some other things we’ve been watching, including Netflix’s Flint Town, The Death of Stalin, and The Endless. As Dennie says, “any movie is better than no movie!”
