Only two of the three Film School Janitors watched this one so far, but they quickly wanted to get the word out. 

Their review of SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE UNIVERSE is right here for the taking! Just stick one of your eight grubby, yet sticky, legs out and whether your eight eyes have seen it yet or not, set your eight ears straight to listening (spiders have eight of everything, right?)... Enjoy!

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Review

The much anticipated sequel to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) is here!

Directed by Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, and Justin K. Thompson, from a screenplay written by Phil Lord, Christopher Miller (who both also produce), and David Callaham, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is the computer-animated superhero film featuring the Marvel Comics character Miles Morales / Spider-Man. 

Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) catapults across the Multiverse, where he encounters a team of Spider-People charged with protecting its very existence. When the heroes clash on how to handle a new threat, Miles must redefine what it means to be a hero.

Matías Bombal's Hollywood- THE KING OF KINGS- 041125

Written and directed by Alex Garland in his directorial debut, Ex Machina is the science fiction film starring Domhnall Gleeson, Alicia Vikander, and Oscar Isaac.

Rob and Jason rewind to the year 2015 to review the decade old movie that has only just become more relevant with time.

Caleb Smith (Domhnall Gleeson) a programmer at a huge Internet company, wins a contest that enables him to spend a week at the private estate of Nathan Bateman (Oscar Isaac), his firm's brilliant CEO. When he arrives, Caleb learns that he has been chosen to be the human component in a Turing test to determine the capabilities and consciousness of Ava (Alicia Vikander), a beautiful robot. However, it soon becomes evident that Ava is far more self-aware and deceptive than either man imagined.

Here’s a little story about a trio of janitors. 
Might have heard they worked at a well-known film school.
They picked up a few things other than trash. 
They might hate your movie, or if drunk think it’s cool.
Every now and then they get together for a lunch break. 
Trash talk some movie, or TV, or streaming.
Rodney and Jason and Sean – they all clean halls. 
If you listen close you can hear kids screaming: Film School Janitors!

At your local top-tier film-and-TV school, these three lurk the halls… sweeping… scrubbing…mopping…

What you drop, they pick up.  But that’s not all they’re picking up.

You see, after twenty years of cleaning up after film students, they’ve learned something – most movies are garbage.

So whenever their lunch breaks align, they catch up on the latest Hollywood has to offer.

In between taking out the trash, they’re talking trash.
