PG Score: 9/10

If you get a TV or movie rec from the Peanut Gallery, you know it's good.

We in the cheap seats know where the good stuff is at.

Shaky box office numbers do not accurately reflect the quality of The Marvels: a fun, dynamic MCU installment.

Loki Season 1 and 2 is some of the finest work in the MCU and completes one of the best character arcs since the introduction of Iron Man.

Blue Beetle has its moments of solid action and laughs, but is largely formulaic and predictable.

Despite some subpar CGI, Andy Muschietti's The Flash is fast and fun, headed by an excellent performance from Ezra Miller.

PG Score: 8.25/10

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves has the humor and action to entertain both seasoned DnD players and plebeians like me.

Shazam! Fury of the Gods is overall a fun time, though the franchise now enters a period of uncertainty.

PG Score: 7/10

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is far from top-tier MCU, but it does map out a promising future for Phase 5.

4 Phases. 15 years. 30 movies. Here's how I rank every MCU film so far.

PG Score: 7.75/10

Taika Waititi's Thor: Love and Thunder goes too heavy on humor, but its rumbles and romance still make for a thunderous time.

First-time Director Camille Griffin effectively blends humor, drama, and horror in her "Christmas movie" Silent Night.
