Moving things forward and getting back into the flow Pete’s back with a Jurassic Park franchise discussion and thoughts on Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom. Internal Tags:

Ready Player One is not just a film. It’s quality is linked to the fate of the American box office.

Drifter is a rare movie. It’s hard, dirty, and has an attitude that only comes through when the filmmaker has something to prove. We’re all lucky to have this film available on Netflix.

Bautista is a master of selecting projects perfect for his screen presence. Bushwick is another example of this. This movie is now available on Netflix and is a must watch.

Everyone seems to be ripping this movie apart. Where does Mute land on the Dream Warriors dartboard? Is Duncan Jones an over rated director? This discussion will shock you.

What does a movie with a perfect ending that was made for 5 million dollars look like? It’s looks like the Belko Experiment.

Here’s another one hated by critics that some how turned out to be a solid film experience. On a Philadelphia snow day Pete explorers this huge ScI-FI epic along with the 5th Element, eventually leading to an attack on all film critics.

One of the best of 2017 The Bad Batch is apart of how the dissection of the Hollywood system is possible in such a rabid past. When it comes to what film is and what it means The Bad Batch is something to behold.

The road to 50 continues and it’s a super late night recording for Dream Warriors 49 that jumps head first into the War of the Planet of the Apes with an analysis of Spider-Mans box office history. If you read the endless fantastic reviews of War of the Planet of the Apes then you have […]

It’s an emergency broadcast this time with Dream Warriors 42. Pete and Marc sit down to bring you up to speed on the Han Solo solo (pun intended) movie that’s nearly done production. The movie making process has been chaos and your trusty Dream Warriors try and make sense of it all. Also featured Ron […]
