The Housemaid was the latest attempt at not only a screen adaptation of the first book in a series of novels by Fates McFadden but also the latest attempt in many this decade to bring back and have a good erotic thriller. With a capable director in Paul Feig (mostly) and a solid trio of actors especially a double blonde threat in the case of Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried, along with Brandon Sklenar, I was mostly intrigued from the trailers. The honest concern was would this actually work: the simple answer is that it surprisingly does work and has sparked a new franchise for its leading girl.

In this video, Epictastic Joshua’s Joshua Drake Randall talks about “The Housemaid” and gives his thoughts on the film from hesitations/thoughts to the performances, direction, does it overall work and is it worth a shot. Here’s my full length review to find out.

Sypnosis

Trying to escape her past, Millie (Sydney Sweeney) accepts a job as a live-in housemaid for the wealthy Nina (Amanda Seyfried) and Andrew Winchester (Brandon Sklenar). But what begins as a dream job quickly unravels into something far more dangerous -- a sexy, seductive game of secrets, scandal, and power.

Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths had the potential to be one of the best movies of the animated DC Universe saga of films and considering it was a three part. But also had concerns because of this being the end of the DCAMU Tomorrowverse as it was getting started.

The final result is a valiant effort that while I did mostly enjoy and mostly have fun with, it is also a prime example of my concerns being true and definitely needing more time to breathe and process before we got there.

In this video, Epictastic Joshua’s Joshua Drake Randall gives his brutally honest opinion on “Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths” and explains why he doesn’t hate it nor love it but found it to be a frustrating disappointment that wasn’t as bad as people say.

This is going to be for the third and final film of the Blade filmography (for now until we hear about something with him in the MCU), “Blade Trinity”, released in 2004.

The version we are doing though is the extended edition, but there is a catch to this. Once we get to the ending, we are going for watch both versions. Full review to be expected afterwards.

Send Help is the latest effort from legendary director Sam Raimi, who is one of the best director in terms of horror and in terms of comic book films and was something that I was curious about but cautiously optimistic and skeptical because the marketing had me a little conflicted.

Let this be living proof to not doubt things from the great director himself. In this video, Epictastic Joshua’s Joshua Drake Randall gives his thoughts on “Send Help”, from the direction to the story all the way to the performances of its cast and is it worth a watch. Find out my full thoughts here.

Greenland was one of the bigger surprises in the worst year ever for movies in the case of 2020 and was definitely one of the better disaster movies considering the genre. So, it’s inevitable that a sequel would be made. In a way that is weird, I was kinda looking forward to seeing a sequel because it could be on the same level.

That being said, there has been some mixed reactions and I havent been able to give my own opinions until now. In this video, Epictastic Joshua’s Joshua Drake Randall gives his thoughts on Greenland 2: Migration and talks about the good, bad and in between with the film and gives his overall perspective on if the film is good as the first or a watchable letdown.

How to Lose A Popularity Contest is the second of two Tubi movies so far this year that I have had the distinction of watching. Usually, these teen romance movies I can enjoy even with all of the cliches here but this one, unfortunately, just doesn’t have much to offer for me.

In this video, Epictastic Joshua’s Joshua Drake Randall talks about and gives a calming rant on “How to Lose A Popularity Contest” and why this is one of his least favorite movies of 2026 and why this just kinda bored the hell out of me despite some good things in here.
