'The Boss Baby: Family Business' Review


Because I was going to be reviewing The Boss Baby: Family Business, I knew that meant I would finally have to watch the original Boss Baby. Oof, that movie is awful. The sequel? It ain't much better.

The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: 'The Irishman,' 'The King' and 'Motherless Brooklyn'


Sure, we review Terminator: Dark Fate on this week's podcast, but it's actually more interesting to dig into The King and Motherless Brooklyn. But the majority of the show is given over to The Irishman, for obvious reasons. Hear the whole thing down below.

The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: 'Fallout,' 'Friday Night Lights' and 'Please Give'


On this week's episode, I get especially rhapsodic about Mission: Impossible - Fallout. Then, in our Reboot segment, we look back at the Friday Night Lights movie, which I had never seen. And I revisit Please Give, which I reviewed out of Sundance back in 2010. Check out the whole show down below.

'Mission: Impossible - Fallout' Review


Hollywood's best action franchise shows no signs of slowing down. Fallout is great, as I explain over at Screen International.

I Was on 'The News Reel' to Talk About Alec Baldwin


The folks over at The News Reel were nice enough to have me on. We talked about my recent piece on Alec Baldwin and my feelings about movie stars in an era when they seem less important than the property they're in. You can hear the whole thing here.

Misleading Men: Alec Baldwin


Alec Baldwin is the voice of The Boss Baby. I have not seen the movie, which looks rather dreadful. But for MEL, I took this opportunity to dedicate the latest installment of my Misleading Men column to the Oscar-nominated, Emmy-winning actor. In the early 1990s, he was primed to become the next action star thanks to The Hunt for Red October. That didn't work out ... leading, ironically, to his recent renaissance in a very roundabout way. Check out my piece here.

'Saturday Night Live' and the Donald Trump Pivot


On Saturday Night Live, Donald Trump has often been portrayed as an adorable buffoon. Not on Saturday, when Alec Baldwin played him as a monster. I didn't laugh so much as recoil, and I think that's the point. For MEL, I wrote about the show's (and the country's) changing attitude toward the Republican presidential candidate. You can read it right here.
