Dan Webster and Nathan Weinbender give short movie reviews.

    “Eephus” is an ode to the rituals of baseball, and a strange comedy about male friendship. Nathan Weinbender says the low-budget ensemble film is one of the small jewels of the year.

    Carson Lund’s film “Eephus” is an ode both to the game of baseball and the everyday players who can’t stop loving it, Dan Webster says.

    "The Ballad of Wallis Island" is about a disgruntled musician, his former partner, and the superfan who brings them back together. Nathan Weinbender says it’s a charming little comedy, especially if you like a distinctly British brand of wit.

    The film “Warfare” inserts us in an intense combat situation, even as it ignores the larger political implications, Dan Webster says.

    The third season of the MAX series “The White Lotus” builds toward a disappointing finale, Dan Webster says.

    With an all-star cast and a buzzy premise, “Death of a Unicorn” blends fantasy, comedy and horror. Unfortunately, Nathan Weinbender says, it’s one of the biggest letdowns of the year so far.

    Set during an incendiary time, “The Penguin Lessons” fails to rise above its protagonist’s self-involvement, Dan Webster says.

    In directing “CHAOS: The Manson Murders,” documentary filmmaker Errol Morris tries to ferret out a conspiracy, Dan Webster says.

    Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett star in the espionage thriller “Black Bag,” Steven Soderbergh’s second feature of 2025. Nathan Weinbender says it’s an entertaining genre exercise and a surprising domestic comedy about work-life balance.
