The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: 'Coyote vs. Acme,' 'The Dog Stars' and 'Tony'

After a week off, we're back. You can hear us talk about Looney Tunes, Will Forte, the Roadrunner, Ridley Scott, Jacob Elordi, Anthony Bourdain, Dominic Sessa, Matt Johnson and the WNBA down below.

'Press Play With Madeleine Brand': Wile E. Coyote, Ridley Scott, 'Idiots' and 'Buddy'

I was on KCRW this week, alongside Shawn Edwards, to discuss this weekend's big releases. That includes Coyote vs. Acme and The Dog Stars, but also the indies Idiots and Buddy (pictured above). You can hear our thoughts down below.

'Heads of State' Review

John Cena plays the U.S. president. Idris Elba is the U.K. prime minister. Together, they barely survive an assassination attempt and then have to go on the run. Does hilarity ensue? You can read my review here.

The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: Let's Talk About the Oscars (and 'Love Lies Bleeding' and 'Ricky Stanicky')

How was your Oscars? We review the show on this week's episode. Then we dig into the latest from Kristen Stewart and Peter Farrelly. (There are many comments about John Cena as well.) Check it all out down below.

The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: 'Argylle,' 'How to Have Sex' and 'Ghost World'

Let the record show that we watched Argylle. And let the record also show we hated it. On the podcast, we review that stinker, but then we have a much better time discussing How to Have Sex, which I first saw at Cannes last year. Then, in our Reboot segment, we revisit Ghost World. Hope you enjoy.

'Peacemaker' and the John Cena Problem

I'm big enough to admit it: I don't quite get John Cena. For MEL, I wrestled with this issue in regards to his new show, Peacemaker.

The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: 'F9,' 'False Positive' and 'I Carry You With Me'

We disagreed on two movies this week, but we're on the same page about Heidi Ewing's immigrant love story. You can hear the whole episode down below.

Some Thoughts on 'Blockers'

For MEL, I riffed on Blockers, which I don't think is funny enough. I explored the history of the term "cock-blocking." I celebrated Hollywood's first cinematic evidence of butt-chugging. And I tried to figure out if John Cena is going to be huge or not. You can read my thoughts here.
