<p class="p1">Movie Roundup:</p>
<p class="p1">My friend here doesn’t like your other movies podcast very much… <em><strong>I</strong></em> don’t like your other movies podcast very much.</p>
<p class="p1">And do you want to know WHY I don’t like that other movies podcast very much? Because it’s not CinemaJaw dip-dangit!! And over here on the greatest movies podcast ever, we’re talking (drum roll) STAR WARS!!!</p>
<p class="p1">Because, for the first time in what feels like forever, we have a new Star Wars movie. It is officially that time: The Mandalorian and Grogu is OUT. Ryan and I caught it, as well as our good friend, Jeff York. So, after our screening, we invited Jeff onto the show to pitch in his review for the new Mando movie.</p>
<p class="p1">Plus, it’s kind of a big deal when a new Star Wars movie comes out, so we’re not leaving it there guys. This doesn’t happen often. There are &#8211; all things considered &#8211; not that many Star Wars movies. So we’re going to turn this review into a Star Wars Special; the first Star Wars special since Rogue One, no less. And we’re talking our Top 5 Star Wars Scenes.</p>
<p class="p1">This one is fun as hell guys. It’s always great talking Star Wars. It’s always great hanging out with Jeff. And it’s always great jawing about the movies.</p>
<p class="p1">Love you guys,</p>

<p class="p1">I have absolutely no idea how old you are as a listener. For all I know, you &#8211; the Jaw head reading this &#8211; are 83 years old. Or maybe you’re 19. I really have no clue. All I will say is this:</p>
<p class="p1">To the 20-something that needs to hear this… no &#8211; it doesn’t get any better than this. You’re gonna look around and think to yourself: “this isn’t what they promised me adulthood would be like at all; this timeline sucks balls dude what the hell.”</p>
<p class="p1">Feeling better? Good, because that’s the EXACT kind of headspace we go into this week during our Top 5 Post-Grad movies! A list we came up with inspired by our guest Zach Schnitzer and his feature film Loafers. We discuss his film, which is about a group of young adults who just finish school, his experience playing at the Music Box Theater for the Chicago Critics Film Fest, and what’s next in the pipeline.</p>
<p class="p1">PLUS &#8211; we also have a review of the newest in a whole slew of YouTube Horror movies, this one’s titled: Obsession. And would you believe me if I told you we also prepped a capsule review of The Wizard of the Kremlin for you as well.</p>
<p class="p1">This is a good one guys! At the very least stick around for the Billie Eilish moment. That was awesome. You’ll know it when you hear it.</p>

<p>With the glass ceiling broken, all the oppressed groups shall prosper; especially the most oppressed group of all: Gamers.</p>
<p>For too long, gamers have been silenced in the movies &#8211; well NO MORE. Ry The Movie Guy and KP finally give gamers their chance to rise up this week with a whole episode dedicated to video games.</p>
<p>That’s right Jawheads &#8211; we’re going there as we cover our top 5 video game movies AND review the brand new Mortal Kombat II. Shout out if you’re a gamer. Shout out if you’re a video game movie fan. And giga shout out if you got my meme reference at the top of the show notes.</p>
<p>While we’re at it, we also have our capsule review of the Chicago Critics Film Fest, some Hollywood news to discuss, and even a retro review of Jeff Daniels and Melanie Griffith’s Something Wild.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>This is a good one! Lotta fun!</p>

<p class="p1">I’m done guys. I give up. I can’t work anymore under these conditions. My boss is the devil and I’m done with it. And I’m not kidding either. CinemaJaw recently got acquired by new owners, and Ryan and I have been working for the actual devil. His name is Lucifer S. Atan and he keeps talking about his last startup called the Prince of Darkness LLC.</p>
<p class="p1">Ryan and I are desperate for relief from the new CEO, so we’ve been blowing off steam where ever we can. And we’re in luck this week because we got a review of a comedy film about a terrible boss! We’ve got the legacy sequel, The Devil Wears Prada 2, to talk about this week.</p>
<p class="p1">And we’re not doing this alone either!! It helps to have friends around the CinemaJaw offices during times like these, and we have Michael Glover Smith and Elizabeth Stam on the show to talk about their new movie Hekla! MGS directed. Elizabeth Stars in. And they both co-wrote it! And we’re super glad to have them with us this week!</p>
<p class="p1">Plus, that’s not all, we’ve got one more review for you, and this time around… we’re talking sharks. That’s right; we went for it and reviewed the new killer shark flick Deep Water.</p>
<p class="p1">Plus, a top 3 Meryl Streep listing, a new take on trivia, AND even a new monthly theme in store today. This is a good one y’all. I hope your May days were better than me and Ryan’s.</p>

<p class="p1">It’s shaping up to be a beautiful spring in Chicago and Ryan and I have a NEED FOR SPEED!!! And, yes, that is a movie pun because we’re talking about Keanu Reeve’s 1994 masterpiece Speed!! To start our spring off, we’re kicking it to you all with a retro review complete with Homer J. Simpson first ever CinemaJaw appearance.</p>
<p class="p1">And if you think watching 30-year-old movies is the only way we’re welcoming in the fairest of the seasons, then you are dead wrong! We’re also coming in hot and heavy with our annual Summer Movie Preview episode, which for a stacked year like 2026, that was no easy task to do.</p>
<p class="p1">Plus, we’ve got two more reviews coming out at ya! Ryan got out and checked out Mother Mary &#8211; Anne Hathaway’s new flick about… well… that’s confusing to say. Let’s just say it’s about a pop star, and the music and visuals are truly something to behold. Plus, Adam Scott, president of the the “Two First Namers In Movies” association, has a new horror film called Hokum out. You already know Ryan checked this one out too.</p>
<p class="p1">We had a ball recording this one and we think you’re gonna love the listen!! And you better believe we’re gonna catch ya at the Music Box for the Chicago Critics Film Festival this weekend, right??</p>
