The early stages of M. Night Shyamalan’s career gave us three killer movies. His third movie, Signs (2002) is a great introduction to Shyamalan and the horror genre. In this film, Mel Gibson plays a troubled farmer on the outs with his family and God. Then come the crop circles! You don’t have to admit it, but I know you had a crop circle phase.
Is it still surprising to say that Danny Boyle and Alex Garland have done it again? 28 Years Later is a worthy third entry in the franchise. Go see it and then join Jim & A.Ron for the podcast. Here’s the link to our 28 Days Later podcast… just kidding, it doesn’t exist. We’ve never…
Turn that frown upside down. Jim and A.Ron are settling into Smile (2022), a horror film with a new take on trauma and possession. Can a simple smile really be that creepy? Yes. Yes it can.
In honor of Batman Begins (2005) turning 20, we’re releasing the classic Bald Move coverage on the film.
Special thanks to Ethan and Allison for commissioning Batman Begins, the first in the Nolanverse Batman trilogy (you can see our podcast on Batman: The Dark Knight here). This is a fantastic comic book movie that also happens to be a fantastic film in it’s own right. We love the fusion of gritty realism with the strong emotional core and exploration of Bruce Wayne and his struggle to walk the narrow path between justice and vengeance. Excellent casting, excellent performances, and while the third act perhaps leaves something to be desired in light of a decade of super hero movies continually trying to outdo themselves in terms of spectacle, the movie holds up like a champ and is an undeniable part of what makes the sequel work so superbly.
What did the series Andor do for the character Cassian in Rogue One (2016)? Jim and A.Ron are returning to this movie to give it another review with the new context of Andor. Does the series elevate the movie? Is it a balm to the Star Wars canon as a whole? Have Jim and A.Ron changed their minds?
Take a look behind the curtain in this special episode of Savage Starlight. Talitha and A.Ron sit down with composer Jake Staley and chat about his work on The Last of Us.

Jim has survived his deep cover mission and now joins A.Ron to review your feedback. What did Jim think of the finale of The Last of Us season 2? Can A.Ron defend “the greatest story ever told”? Will the audience stick around for season 3? Hear your thoughts on this feedback episode of Savage Starlight.
In celebration of The Goonies (1985) celebrating its 40th anniversary, Bald Move is rereleasing our coverage of the beloved film.
Special thanks to Fernando Rodriguez, who commissioned the 1985 classic kid’s adventure movie, “The Goonies”. Directed by Richard Donner with a script by Chris Columbus, this movie really brings us back to our child hood days, which leads to us spending time fondly reminiscing about the film and growing up, and of course obsessively picking nits and busting “The Goonies” balls. Which of course, is our mothers’ favorite part. Stay tuned til the end as we invite a surprise guest to give their opinions as well!
Did season 2 of The Last of Us go out with a bang or a whimper? Join Talitha and A.Ron as they discuss the Abby of it all. Did this season live up to expectations? Was it a satisfying ending? Can the audience survive the two year wait for the next installment?
