This show had its highs and lows for sure, but join us for this review as we talk about what we liked and disliked from each episode!

Before "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" hits theaters next week, we thought it would be the perfect time to revisit "Into the Spider-Verse." This movie has really changed the game when it comes to Hollywood animated feature films. It was unlike anything we had seen yet and it wasn't an easy task to pull off. When we talk about the greatest Spider-Man movie ever, "Into the Spider-Verse" sits at the very top for me! Would you agree?
Clearly I'm no Twilight expert; that's why Sabel from sabelsstudio joins us for the episode of Twilight! In an age of Hollywood where we are getting reboot after reboot, you'd think they would focus on rebooting old material. Here here are only 11 years after the final Twilight movie, Lionsgate announced they will be rebooting Twilight and making it into a TV series. However, do we dare say this reboot is necessary? Join us in this episode to find out as we look back upon the undeniably polarizing franchise that is Twilight!

You can catch Ryan on Tiktok and Instagram @prettygoodprops where there you can also find the link to his Etsy page and more where he sells his amazing props!
Did everyone bring tissues with them to this movie? We all knew this was going to be an emotional roller coaster! One thing is for sure; Marvel is going to miss James Gunn. Come adore this movie again with us on this podcast episode of GOTG Vol 3. Does this make Guardians of the Galaxy the best trilogy in the MCU? Maybe best comic book movie trilogy ever?
Two and a half years later and this is what we get?? Season 3 of the Mandalorian had a high expectations to maintain after the first two seasons made the case that this was going to be the show to save live action Star Wars. It's no secret that ever since Disney took over Star Wars, the live actions have been hit or miss with the fans. But the Mandalorian was not that case. In this episode we'll dive into the positives and negatives of each episode, our thoughts on the finale, and why this season felt like a step down from the others! What did you think of the Mandalorian season 3?
It feels so good to be back! Sorry for the lack of episodes lately but yes, I was in Europe for almost two weeks. While we have a lot of movies and shows to catch up on, this episode will mainly go over my amazing trip to Spain and Portugal, the beautiful landmarks we visited, the incredible food we tried, and the culture shock compared to America! Don't worry, this episode will still tie into movies as I had plenty of time to watch many films on the plane ride there and back! Mandalorian Season 3 review dropping Monday morning!
So much to discuss! We recap our weekend at Megacon Orlando, where we had a great time meeting other content creators, fans, and yes some pictures with our favorite celebrities!

Eventually this episode may or may not become just a rant about our jobs as severs!
This Ghostface is unlike anything we've seen before! Well our Scream marathon has led us to Scream 6, and it is getting all the praise and earnings, as it is had the biggest opening weekend at the box office in the entire Scream franchise! BUT is it as good as they say? As great of an installment Scream 6 was, it's far from perfect. Hey, no Scream is perfect besides the first one obviously. Come listen to my pros and cons of Scream 6 and where it falls in my ranking of the Scream franchise. No matter what you think of this movie, it is safe to say Scream has been one of, if not the most consistent horror franchises ever! I adore this franchise and love to see it thriving more than ever!

Well this has been interesting. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania has unexpectedly become the most controversial film in the MCU amongst fans. We have never seen a larger difference between the critics scores and the audience scores. So now I ask you, was it really that bad? If there's one thing we can all agree on, it's that Jonathan Majors as Kang the Conqueror is here to stay! Come listen to our positives and negatives about this film, and if it was truly as bad as the critics say!
It wasn't easy, but we made it through Velma! How is this show getting a season 2? Well it turns out this show is so bad that everyone is watching it, viewership is up!

Catch up on some entertainment news with us! Disney has announced many sequels to come including Toy Story 5, Frozen 3, and Zootopia 2! Disney+ struggling to keep subscribers after first quarter reports. Also, did anyone watch the Grammy's? I didn't think so; but I sadly did.
Today’s the day! I’m officially executive producing my first independent feature film! After months of planning, it’s finally happening. The film is called Don’t Trip, a horror comedy written and directed by Alex Kugelman about a young screenwriter who falls into a dangerous relationship when he befriends a powerful producer’s eccentric son in order to sell his script. It explores the gritty underbelly of show business and examines how power dynamics and nepotism affect those trying to break into the industry. Being an independent film, it is going to be independently funded and we need everyone’s help! We have launched a Kickstarter campaign today for funding; a public benefit corporation that maintains a global crowdfunding focused on creativity. People like YouTuber Chris Stuckmann have been able to raise funds through Kickstarter for his directorial debut! Many artists have been able to make their first film through Kickstarter. Any donations are greatly appreciated; even sharing this message would be just as much appreciated! I look forward to this new opportunity in this industry and hope you are just excited as I am. I can’t wait to bring you all this film along with Alex and our amazing team!
"Velma" has been getting a lot of attention, and not for the right reasons. But is it really as bad as people say? Garrett and I dive into our thoughts about the first four episodes; what this show is doing wrong, what this show could be doing right, but yeah...it's pretty bad so far. Hopefully the season will end on a high note. What do you think of "Velma" so far?

We hope this episode his informational and helpful to anyone deciding on film school!
2023 is here! But before we move forward, it's time to look back at the movies 2022 gave us. In this episode Garrett and I go over out top 10 movies of 2022. Now granted we did not see every single movie that came out, BUT this year definitely brought us some disappointments, however it brought us even more great surprises. It's safe to say movies are back and thriving better by the minute and it's amazing to see people at theaters like they used to be! What are your top 10 movies of 2022?
While 2022 may have been hit or miss with movies, there's no denying that 2022 was an amazing year for TV. No, I did not see every single show this year so not everyone's favorite TV show will be on this list...but here's my top 5 TV shows this year from what I watched!
Our first Christmas special at Blake's Takes! My co-host Garrett and I talk our favorite Christmas movies, overrated and underrated Christmas movies, our favorite TV Christmas specials and yearly traditions! The most wonderful (and stressful) time of the year! What's your favorite Christmas movie?
Is Avatar: The Way of Water better than Avatar 1? It's been 13 years since the original and a lot of time and money has gone into this James Cameron fantasy world. Now the most expensive movie ever made, can it live up to the hype? What direction is James Cameron giving us for the world building of Pandora? No matter if you liked or didn't like this movie though...this is a movie you must experience in IMAX 3D at the theaters!

Phase 4 definitely had it's ups and downs but there were a lot of great things to come out of it. Dive into our ranking with us!
Happy Thanksgiving! We figured to show some love to this holiday since it seems like it's always in the shadows of Christmas. We talk about movies and TV shows that always put us in the mood for Thanksgiving, ranking of Thanksgiving side dishes, Thanksgiving traditions, and fun Thanksgiving facts to top it off. Join us for this more personal and fun episode!
Will Wakanda Forever make you cry? The answer is yes. Easily one of the most emotional but beautiful movies in the superhero genre. Wakanda Forever went through a lot of adversity during it's production. Of course the biggest question was how would they handle the untimely passing of Chadwick Boseman. And with Namor being the first Indigenous, Latin America hero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Black Panther Wakanda Forever was going to have a tall task to accomplish, but did they ever!
Garrett finally saw Black Adam and as you can guess from the episode title, he was not too happy with it. Listen to his rant and frustration with this movie and the DCEU moving forward. If you haven't seen Black Adam yet, SPOILER WARNING in effect. What did you think of this film?
Blake's Takes first Halloween special is here! We have been waiting for spooky season all year and are excited to talk all about all the movies we've watched during this Halloween season! Our favorite horror movies, our least favorite, what we are dressing up as for Halloween, and to end the episode off we have a horror villain draft! Get ready for Halloween with this episode!
Who doesn't love to get scared during this time of year? Halloween Horror Nights has easily become my favorite seasonal event over the last few years! Listen to our review of all of the scare houses, scare zones, shows, food and drinks at Halloween Horror Nights Orlando this year! While this may not be our typical review on a movie or tv show, Halloween Horror Nights tells a story of its own and the attention to detail is incredible!
After many projects have fallen through for the character of She-Hulk over the last 30 years, she finally gets her own tv show! And let's just say, it does not stick to your typical MCU formula! This show offered many different things, but one thing is for certain; Tatiana Maslany was born to play She-Hulk! Listen to our likes and dislikes of the show and where it places among the other MCU tv shows.
Happy Halloween Ends Day! In honor of the final Halloween film in this latest trilogy releasing, I figured I would give you my ranking of all the Halloween movies (not including Halloween Ends). Over the years the Halloween franchise has given us ups and downs but it seems every movie has reeled in their own group of Stans! What's your favorite Halloween movie?
We give our reaction on the newest episode of She Hulk. A moment we had all been waiting for the entire season...Charlie Cox back as Matt Murdock! Did Disney do the character justice?
Another highly requested ranking...all the live action Batman Movies! One of the rankings we recorded for Batman Day last weekend. Batman truly is one of the most iconic characters of all time, if not THE most iconic character of all time! We hope you enjoy this ranking and let us know of any other rankings you'd like to here!
A debate that has been talked about for over 40 years in the entertainment world. Is "Jaws" a horror movie? While it is technically labeled as a Thriller/Adventure, we tell you how it meets all the characteristics of a horror movie!
Yes I know, how did it take Garrett to finish one of the greatest shows of all time? We have that question answered for you in this Breaking Bad review! We also discuss it's critically acclaimed spin-off "Better Call Saul" as well! This is a universe that has offered us some of the best television in this history of entertainment!
Can't believe we haven't done it yet, but here it is! We rank all of the films within the Star Wars Universe! Star Wars has given us some duds, and it has given us some masterpieces! What would come out on top as #1 for you?
After his directorial debut of "Get Out," Jordan Peele has shown as that he is a director that has earned his place in Hollywood. From comedy sketches on Key and Peele, to unsettling horror films, Jordan's Peele 180 of a career has been one of the most fascinating in the business. His third movie "NOPE" shows us how big his vision is!
The Boys is one of the most polarizing shows out right now, and season 3 just solidified it's place among the greats. Every episode this season had you reeled in like no other.
