Surprise Saturday: Racing Ahead with "Slingshot" & Reflecting on "My Old Ass"

Natey & Katy: At the Movies

"Send us a Text!"

Ever wondered how some films manage to completely miss the mark despite having a stellar cast? Join me, Nathan aka Natey, as I uncover the pitfalls of "Slingshot," a sci-fi thriller that inexplicably fails to utilize the talents of Casey Affleck and Lawrence Fishburne. From Affleck's uninspired performance to a script that left me cringing, I break down why this movie felt like a chore to watch. Fishburne does his best to save it, but unfortunately, it’s not enough to lift "Slingshot" out of the cinematic abyss. Prepare yourself for a candid, no-holds-barred review that culminates in a well-deserved one out of six rating.
Switching lanes, I’ll also explore the quirky and surprisingly heartfelt comedy-drama "My Old Ass." Imagine meeting your older self through a mushroom trip—how wild would that be? Featuring Aubrey Plaza, Maisie Stella, Percy Hines White, and Maddie Ziegler, this film tackles themes of sexuality and relationships with a mix of humor and sincerity. Despite some cliched elements and unresolved plot points, the natural performances and witty script make it a worthwhile watch. Hear why this film earns a solid rating between 3.5 and 4 stars, and stick around for a preview of our upcoming discussion on the classic "The Sting." You won’t want to miss it!
