Up up and away! This episode of Cinema Royale to the ultimate boyscout, the hero of heroes, the Last Son of Krypton, Superman! I'm joined by Chris Bumbray of Joblo.com to talk about (free of major spoilers) the most anticipated movie of the summer! Has James Gunn knocked it out of the park with SUPERMAN? Or will this go the way of Zack Snyder's MAN OF STEEL, Bryan Singer's SUPERMAN RETURNS, and pretty much everything after Richard Donner's classic? We talk about the politics of Gunn's SUPERMAN, the intro of Guy Gardner and Mister Terrific, and whether Krypto is man's best friend or should be put in a shelter. Of course, we also discuss David Corenswet's performance, his chemistry with Rachel Brosnahan's Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult's Lex Luthor compared to other portrayals of the infamous bald villain.

Travis Hopson reviews HEADS OF STATE, the Prime Video action-comedy starring John Cena, Idris Elba, and Priyanka Chopra Jonas! In the action-comedy “Heads of State,” the UK Prime Minister Sam Clarke (Idris Elba) and U.S. President Will Derringer (John Cena) have a not-so-friendly and very public rivalry that jeopardizes their countries’ “special relationship.” But when they become the targets of a powerful and ruthless foreign adversary, who proves more than a match for the two leaders’ security forces, they are begrudgingly forced to rely on the only two people they can trust: each other. Ultimately allied with the brilliant MI6 agent Noel Bisset (Priyanka Chopra Jonas), they must go on the run and find a way to work together long enough to thwart a global conspiracy that threatens the entire free world. HEADS OF STATE is streaming now on Prime Video. All of this and more can be found at www.punchdrunkcritics.com!

On the latest episode of Cinema Royale, me and Joblo.com's Chris Bumbray couldn't stop raving about F1! The most immersive, exhilarating racing film ever? We discuss not only how great this movie is and why it must be seen in IMAX, but we also surmise that it must've made Tom Cruise super jealous! It's such a Tom Cruise movie, how is he not in it?? How dare Brad Pitt take HIS director, Top Gun: Maverick's Joseph Kosinski, and make such an awesome, technological powerhouse with such death-defying race sequences? You know what? Cruise is going to run out and make Days of Thunder 2 now! Just you watch. And he'll probably get Kosinski to direct it! Take that, Brad!
