Extremely fit tough guy John Cena is the host of Discovery/Discovery+ Channel’s SHARK WEEK, running this year from Sunday, July 7 through Saturday, July 13. We didn’t get to ask him about the premise of the episode 6000 LB. SHARK, which at first glance seems like it might be about shark obesity. However, Tom “the Blowfish” Hird got on Zoom with Assignment X to talk about the episode. Hird, who describes himself as “the world’s only heavy-metal marine biologist,” is originally from Halifax, West Yorkshire, England. A prolific diver, Hird’s writings include the book BLOWFISH’S OCEANOPEDIEA: 291 EXTRAORDINARY THINGS YOU […]Read On »

ARGYLLE movie poster | ©2024 Universal Pictures/Apple+

Rating: R Stars: Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Rockwell, Henry Cavill, Bryan Cranston, Catherine O’Hara, Sofia Boutella, John Cena, Samuel L. Jackson Writer: Jason Fuchs Director: Matthew Vaughn Distributor: Universal Pictures/Apple+ Release Date: February 2, 2024 With more plot twists than a tartan has squares, ARGYLLE combines ROMANCING THE STONE with – well, let’s not completely give the game away. We’ll say it starts out as one of those movies where a woman author unexpectedly finds herself living out one of her novels. In ARGYLLE, writer Elly Conway (Bryce Dallas Howard) pens espionage tales rather than romance. This immediately raises our […]Read On »

THE SUICIDE SQUAD movie poster | ©2021 Warner Bros./DC

Rating: R Stars: Margot Robbie, Idris Elba, John Cena, Joel Kinnaman, Viola Davis, Daniela Melchior, Steve Agee, Sylvester Stallone (voice), David Dastmachian, Jai Courtney, Peter Capaldi, Alice Braga, Juan Diego Botto, Joaquin Cosio, Michael Rooker, Nathan Fillion Writer: James Gunn Director: James Gunn Distributor: Warner Bros. Release Date: August 5, 2021 THE SUICIDE SQUAD is a surprisingly buoyant follow-up to 2016’s SUICIDE SQUAD. The earlier film gave us a batch of super-reluctant heroes, actually villains from D.C. Comics, tasked with saving the world from a supernatural menace, since Superman was dead and Batman was only one non-superpowered guy (this was […]Read On »

Movie Review: TRAINWRECK

Trainwreck | © 2015 Universal Pictures

Rating: R Stars: Amy Schumer, Bill Hader, Tilda Swinton, Vanessa Bayer, LeBron James, Brie Larson, John Cena, Colin Quinn, Norman Lloyd, Mike Birbiglia, Randall Park, Ezra Miller Writer: Amy Schumer Director: Judd Apatow Distributor: Universal Release Date: July 17, 2015 Somewhere between a character study and a semi-unconventional romcom, TRAINWRECK is more funny and enjoyable than not. Its politics aside (what’s one more female screen protagonist primarily defined by her approach to romance at this late date?), Amy Schumer’s script tries to keep us on our toes while getting us to laugh and make us uncomfortable, all at the same […]Read On »
