Nice to see a new spin on the "I have to do '(X) Task' to keep my ex-wife from moving her and our child out of state!" trop, as Jamie Foxx plays a freelance vampire hunter in the Netflix action movie Day Shift. In need of some fast cash, Foxx's Bud Jablonsky begs his way back into the vampire hunters' union, but things get complicated when he runs afoul of an ambitious uber-vampire who's hatched a real-estate scheme to benefit her kind in a big way.
Me and guest host Glenn Lawrence of Level Up Comedy also found time in this episode to address Marvel Studios' own issues in rebooting a certain vampire hunting character of their own. (Deadpool & Wolverine cameos notwithstanding).

Gone far too soon, Val Kilmer recently passed away at the age of 65, and we thought it only fitting to cover one of his most underrated performances in the David Mamet-directed film Spartan. After the president's daughter is abducted, military instructor Robert Scott is called in to investigate, leading to a series of events uncovering possible corruption within the Secret Service in addition to stumbling upon an international network of human traffickers.…
We've been threatening to cover the Netflix film Uglies for month, and now it's time to make good. Based on the YA dystopian future novel, Joey King stars in this film where all teenagers get operations on their 16th birthday to look more physically attractive and be elevated to a higher societal status, and not be deemed "ugly". But there are those who choose not to have the operation and live out in the woods away from the cold conformist rule of the city. Thankfully, most of them are already ridiculously attractive even without the benefit of surgical enhancement. Trust me, we get into it with this one!…

As you can probably guess, the recommendation to cover this came courtesy of the Adorable Lil' Hypebeast herself, who loves her a good "Be Gay, Do Crime" flick!…

I know some of us out there have been hating this winter season, so allow us to heat things up as we talk about the Netflix original holiday romance film Hot Frosty.
