The Bubble

While I believe it’s possible to make a satire about the struggles of filmmaking during the pandemic, 2022’s The Bubble is not that film. Writer/director Judd Apatow‘s lazy comedy goes for cheap jokes earning few laughs. The premise is simple enough, the cast (Karen Gillan, Pedro Pascal, Leslie Mann, David Duchovny, Keegan-Michael Key, and Guz Khan) of one of the world’s biggest action franchises agree to quarantine in an English hotel and make the next film in the franchise while interacting with the film’s crew, the TikTok guest-star (Iris Apatow), hotel staff, and COVID security officer (Harry Trevaldwyn).

Star Wars: Forces of Destiny - BB-8 Bandits

Set during The Force Awakens and after the previous short, “BB-8 Bandits” gives us the return of the scavenger Teedo and his associate attempting to reacquire the droid Rey (Daisy Ridley) saved from him in the film. Rey rescues the droid again, this time making use of her new friend the nightwachter worm to prevent Teedo from coming after them again. Not quite as strong as the first short, but it does build upon what it introduced and produce some fun moments for Star Wars fans.

Jurassic World: Chaos Theory - The Drop / Into the Fog

“The Drop” continues both groups on their way to the secret headquarters of the dino-smuggling ring. Yaz (Kausar Mohammed) and Sammy (Raini Rodriguez) make their way in the back of a DPW truck with a doped-up Becklespinax while Darius (Paul-Mikél Williams) and Kenji (Darren Barnet) follow Brooklynn‘s (Kiersten Kelly) notes to a drop site where the dinosaurs are usually handed over. This will lead to all four characters reaching the facility in “Into the Fog” snooping for clues and finding Bumpy in the crates of caged dinosaurs who will have another surprise for the group as well.
