Your nostalgia for classic Looney Tunes cartoons may influence your enjoyment in The Day The Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie. Warner Bros., who has owned the various properties since the 1940s, hasn’t had the best luck in adapting characters from the animated shorts into full features over the years. The latest, and first (not counting the Space Jam sequel) in over 20 years, casts Daffy Duck and Porky Pig (both voiced by Eric Bauza) as brothers out to save their home from threats such as the H.O.A. and aliens.

Captain America: Middling New World

  • Title: Captain America: Brave New World

Providing Sam Wilson‘s (Anthony Mackie) first big-screen appearance of Captain America, transforming President Thunderbolt Ross (Harrison Ford) into Red Hulk, and laying the some connective tissue between past and future films such as finally pulling on the Celestial thread left over from The Eternals, Captain America: Brave New World proves to be another middling entry to the MCU post Avengers: Endgame as I’m not sure making a good film, rather than a serviceable one, ever made it past the planning stage.
