This week The Casual Cinecast checks out Jordan Peele's newest film Us. Is this film a worthy follow up to Get Out, or a sophmore slump? Check out the episode and listen to a spoiler free review, followed by a spoiler-filled discussion. 

This week was mostly about streaming here on the Casual Cinecast. We review the newest Netflix thriller, Triple Frontier, starring Ben Affleck, Oscar Issac, and Charlie Hunnam. The film is directed by J.C. Chandor. The hosts also briefly discuss everything else they've been watching this week before moving into the main review, which contains a spoiler free section before moving into a spoiler-filled conversation.

At the last minute, the Casual Cinecast changed their main review from Alita: Battle Angel, to the Oscar nominated film Shoplifters. However, if you watched the wrong movie, don't worry! There is still a lengthy discussion on Alita: Battle Angel, and much more! There's also a follow-up conversation regarding the most recent changes to the Academy Awards broadcast for 2019 we discussed last week! 

It's not very often the Casual Cinecast does a documentary as their main review, but They Shall Not Grow Old was just too interesting to pass up. Mike, Justin and Chris head to the theater to see Peter Jackon's new World War I documentary, as it has (finally) gotten a proper theatrical release! There are also some opinions in regards to the Academy Awards 2019 announcements last week, and more!

This week the Casual CInecast reviews the long awaited conclusion to M. Night Shyamalan's superhero trilogy, Glass! We also discuss what we've been up to since last week, our thoughts on the academy awards nominations, and more!

It's time for an episode that only comes around once a year! This week Justin, Chris, and Mike, each choose their own top films of 2018!
