Combining the dry dustiness of Breaking Bad, the dark humour of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the unpredictable violence and bleakness of Game of Thrones, Preacher continues to establish itself as one of the more unique voices in television.? Following the journey of Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper), a small-town preacher possessed with the spirit of…
This week on the show, Steve reconnects with Arnaldo Reyes and Peter Adourian to talk about purpose and hopeful death in James Mangold’s LOGAN. ?(We may even?answer the eternal question: Why Arnaldo doesn’t like Jackman’s Wolverine!)

There’s much to be said about an actor playing a particular role in film nine times. In a way, he/she must’ve done?something right and even made?that particular role nearly iconic. Hugh Jackman has done that, to my dismay (or dislike, however you want to call it). It’s not that I’m not a fan of his….
The neo-Western?Hell or High Water?is one of the funniest, saddest, most exciting, thought-provoking films I’ve seen this year. Wrapped around the story of two brothers’ attempts to rob banks, this wildly different film shares their relationship, the saga of the nearly-retired Texas Ranger?on their heels, and the way that the U.S. economy plays a part…

To kick off Season 3, Steve ponies up to the saloon?with Pastor James Harleman (Cinemagogue.com) to chat about?Antoine Fuqua’s?Magnificent Seven! ?Does the western still matter today? ?What’s the line between righteousness and justice? ?All this and more as the guys showdown at high noon… Want to continue to conversation at home? ?Click the link below…

The idea of captivity is important to the film, although it often seems to be operating in the background. There are physical captives, but there are also emotional spiritual captives. These later forms are perhaps even more dangerous that the physical imprisonment of some.
Longmire: Season Four?is one of the?best shows I’ve watched this year. While?Quantico?and?Blindspot?have the splashiest ad spots, Netflix’s latest pickup quietly dominates with action, team dynamics, and socially-conscious issues about what it means to be human in today’s ever-changing landscape. Robert Taylor stars as Sheriff Longmire, the taciturn leader of the Absaroka County, Wyoming, sheriff’s department,…
