The Movie Show 8.16: Alien Romulus

Fans of sci-fi and thriller movies, rejoice! Andy and Steve give Alien Romulus a thumbs up, describing it as a good time, though not for the faint of heart. Sing Sing hits theaters in a limited release this week, and if you find it playing near you, it is not to be missed. Outstanding performances all around make the movie Andy and Steve's personal pick of the week. Another suspenseful movie out this week is Skincare, starring Elizabeth Banks. Based on a true story, the film is sure to capture your attention in theaters.

Planning on staying in this weekend? Andy and Steve review Netflix's The Union, an action movie following a "nobody" (Mark Wahlberg) who joins a secret group of operatives tasked with protecting the identity of U.S. spies. Prime Video has released Jackpot!, a survival journey set in Los Angeles where average citizens try to kill lottery winner Katie (Awkwafina) and claim her winnings. Bad Monkey, now available on Apple TV+, features a detective-turned-restaurant-inspector in Southern Florida who is drawn into a world of greed and corruption after a tourist finds a severed arm while fishing. The tear-jerker documentary film Daughters, on Netflix, follows a group of incarcerated men as they prepare for a father-daughter dance in their prison.
