The Venture Bros.: Radiant Is the Blood of the Baboon Heart (2023)

Just as was the case between seasons when the show was airing, it took so long for this movie to come out that I've pretty much forgotten everything that was going on. But, just like in times past, it doesn't really matter -- it's still gonna be a good time.

My biggest complaint? Not enough Brock.

Marty Supreme (2025)

Marty is extremely good at ping pong. He's also an entitled little shit. And all of the people we meet along the way are different varieties of terrible. There's no one to root for and no moral to this story unless it's "everyone sucks."

The Secret Agent (2025)

Watching this, I felt like I was in Brazil in the '70s. I actually caught my breath a couple of times due to immersive scenes that felt less like I was watching them and more like they were enveloping me. That said, I wasn't ever exactly sure what was happening (history is an embarrassingly weak spot for me). I was fully engaged throughout and, as I have an aversion to films that blow way past the 2-hour mark, that's quite a feat. 

Unfortunately, I can't help but ding this for the fact that I'm not quite sure I got the point.

It Was Just an Accident (2025)

A mechanic immediately recognizes the man who comes into his shop for emergency repair. After imprisoning the man in his van, the mechanic reaches out to others to help confirm that the man he's abducted is the prison torturer he remembers. 

I don't know if this would've worked if it hadn't gotten so broad (a couple in full wedding garb tagging along, the mechanic taking his abductee's pregnant wife to the hospital, the constant necessary tipping/bribing at every single turn), but I know the impact of the story was muted by these attempts at comedy. I was bored and annoyed.

Wild Target (2010)

A hitman who has grown bored with his job is hired to take out a conwoman who crossed a mobster. Despite himself, he winds up protecting her because she interests him. They also pick up an aimless stoner because why not.

This is not a good movie and the romance bummed me out. It is, however, charming and fun. Think Hudson Hawk and you're on the right track.
