Ep1155: Him (2025) - Live Roundtable Review
Earth's Mightiest Critics suit up for a look at the latest Jordan Peele (produced) thriller, Him!
It's "Any Given Sunday meets The Devil’s Advocate", starring Tyriq Withers as Cam Cade, a promising college football star who gets a chance to train with his pro-football hero, Isaiah White (Marlon Wayans). But during his grueling week at a state-of-the-art desert compound, Cam begins to suspect that fame and fortune might just come at a higher price than he'd...ahem...bargained for.
There's no getting around it: Justin Tipping's film is a mess, and we'll give you the cold, hard play-by-play of a movie whose premise and trailer are genuinely great--but whose execution is one of 2025's greatest disappointments!
