It’s another week of new films coming out and whether you need a good laugh or scare, film critic Patrick Beatty is here to tell you what’s worth your time and money.

NOTE: This piece was written/aired during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the entertainment reviewed here wouldn’t exist.

Bottoms

It’s raunchy, hilarious, and when it needs to be even a little heartfelt. Two longtime best friends devise a plan to get the girls of their dreams by starting a fight club, naturally. Not only are the jokes potent and in rapid succession, but the acting in ‘Bottoms’ is top-tier.

Telemarketer$

We all can collectively agree that telemarketers are garbage, right? Well, this new MAX docuseries gives us a look into one of the worst, from their practices of scamming in the name or Police and Firemen to the content of characters being hired into a field meant to scam innocent people. You’ll love the people trying to stop it all, but how far up the ladder are the scams coming from?

Birth/Rebirth

A new horror film that centers around death and life. I don’t want to give away too much other than you certainly need to see this if you are a fan of horror.
