Critically Acclaimed: Drop Zone and The General

DROP ZONE isn’t just a skydiving action movie starring Wesley Snipes, it’s also a time machine that takes you straight back to 1994, when action movies were dumb and every sport was EXTREME! It’s a silly relic from a silly time, so why is DROP ZONE the perfect double feature with Buster Keaton’s timeless silent comedy classic THE GENERAL? Oh, you’ll find out in this week’s CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED! You’ll also get new reviews of GRETA, CLIMAX and TRANSIT, a hefty debate about whether the Oscars should (as Steven Spielberg is suggesting) change the rules to shut out Netflix movies, and a HUGE announcement about the future of the CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED podcast… and the formation of a brand new one!
