In a world where movie tickets are pricey and you could spend hours browsing streaming platforms, Zoe is here to help by giving you the nuts and bolts of a movie or TV show without the spoilers! But movies and shows are more than just mindless consumables, they’re stories that tell us something about our world and the people around us. Zoe invites you into a deeper conversation about media and how to navigate modern storytelling.
Coyote vs. Acme (And How It Almost Didn't End Up in Theaters!)
Do you like wacky cartoon shenanigans? Clever slap stick humor? A story with a solid message and filled with heart about an underdog, teamwork, and hope? Then I think you might enjoy the unexpected yet also not surprisingly successful box office hit, Coyote Vs Acme in theaters right now! Zoe calls this the "perfect end of summer family flick!" Appropriate for everyone in the family, rated PG.
The crazy thing about this movie is how we almost never would have seen it thanks to the Warner Brothers corporation wanting to throw it in the trash for a tax write-off, which is super ironic considering the movie's anti-corporation themes and the fact it was saved by the underdogs: collective outrage from the filmmakers, crew, and fans who wanted this story displayed on the big screen. The story behind the story mirrored the story and that makes Zoe think this movie is bigger than itself -- a powerful moment in time where we can realize the power and voice we have at the box office. By supporting Coyote vs Acme, we are sending Warner Brothers a loud and clear message: we like good movies!

The Sheep Detectives (Reel 1)
What are two things you wouldn’t expect to go together except maybe in a mad libs read? That’s right: sheep and detectives.
Yet that's the kind of silly premise that Zoe loves which is why she was super excited to watch The Sheep Detectives on Amazon Prime. Zoe wishes she had seen this one in theaters instead of the other film she chose at the time, The Devil Wears Prada 2 (which ended up being a disappointment for her). Overall, Zoe gives this film a recommendation so you can stop scrolling for hours trying to find something to watch!
Zoe thinks this is a wholesome (funny adjective to use for a murder mystery but its true), funny, family-friendly who-dun-it. It is not a perfect film, Zoe thought it could have been funnier, and the pacing is slow at times, but it's worth a watch -- especially if you don't know what to watch!

Spiderman: Brand New Day (Reel 1)
In some ways, it's hard giving this a spoiler free review because most people have already made up their minds on whether or not to go see the latest big blockbuster like Spiderman: Brand New Day. If you are a fan of the Tom Holland Spiderman movies, Marvel movies, etc., you'll probably enjoy this one! Zoe did hear some people say they were "bored" during this movie, and to that Zoe frankly questions their doomscrolling attention spans...
Yes, the film is a bit sombre and subtle, but that's because it is tackling more mature themes: grief, pain, and loneliness. Zoe argues the film tackles these themes very well and in an interesting way as a superhero movie! She strongly urges parents to not bring their smaller children. Yes, it's spiderman but it's still pg-13, probably not appropriate for the littles.
