In the 1980s, there were only 63 Black films by, for, or about Black Americans. But in the 1990s, that number quadrupled, with 220 Black films making their way to cinema screens nationwide. What sparked this “Black New Wave?” Who blazed this path for contemporaries like Ava DuVernay, Kasi Lemmons and Jordan Peele? And how did these films transform American culture as a whole?

Since 2010, the We Hate Movies podcast has been loudly celebrating and tearing apart movies from across the spectrum: from forgotten '80s actioners and insane romantic comedies of the '90s, to the early CGI blockbusters of the aughts and the hyper-nostalgic franchises of the 2010s and today. Every week, comedians Andrew Jupin, Stephen Sajdak, Eric Szyszka, and Chris Cabin pick a movie from the near-past to discuss and joke around about in all its positive and negative glory.

‘Argylle’ Review

Kevin says Argylle kinda sucks!
It’s not always easy to make a compelling genre film while also deconstructing that genre. Not that Matthew Vaughn doesn’t give it the old college try with his new secret agent comedy ARGYLLE.
The film follows a popular spy novelist and her beloved cat who gets whisked away into the real world of espionage when she learns her books have an uncanny connection to reality.
The movie begins with an absurd premise, then faces an uphill battle as it morphs into silliness and unintentional parody with each predictable twist. At least the cast is strong, led by Bryce Dallas Howard and Sam Rockwell. Supporting roles with Bryan Cranston, Catherine O’Hara, Samuel L. Jackson and Henry Cavill offer some much needed stability to the nonsensical storyline.
Like many movies lately, the bloated 2 hour 20 minute running time overstays its welcome, making the film drag between scenes. Even in the action sequences, it never quite reaches the pace or energy level needed for a spy thriller.
ARGYLLE has some fun moments and is certainly passable, but it’s also entirely forgettable.
ARGYLLE gets two and a half cat whiskers out of five. I’m Kevin Carr, and that’s the way I see it.
