Going to the cineplex or staying in and streaming this weekend? Every Thursday morning at 8:15 a.m. you can listen to Mike Schulz dish on recent movie releases & talk smack about Hollywood celebs on Planet 93.9 FM with the fabulous Dave & Darren in the Morning team of Dave Levora and Darren Pitra. The morning crew previews upcoming releases, too.

Or you can check the Reader Web site and listen to their latest conversation by the warm glow of your electronic device. Never miss a pithy comment from these three scintillating pundits again.

Thursday, September 11: Discussion of The Conjuring: Last Rites, Highest 2 Lowest, and Twinless, previews of Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale, The Long Walk, and Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, and Dave's unadulterated rave about the 1966 kaiju classic The War of the Gargantuans, which sounds like far more fun than anything Mike has seen recently.

If you're a fan of the 1989 marital slapstick The War of the Roses, which has to rank among the nastiest and funniest black comedies ever released by a major Hollywood studio, the opening minutes of director Jay Roach's and screenwriter Tony McNamara's re-imagining The Roses are both enormously satisfying and preemptively disappointing.

Lauded by the Chicago Tribune's Dave Kehr as "diabolically inventive and very, very funny," Robert Zemeckis' 1992 comedy Death Becomes Her enjoys an outdoor screening at Rock Island's Rozz-Tox, the September 6 event treating guests to an Oscar-winning cult classic that, just last year, inspired a Tony Award-winning stage musical.

A three-time Academy Award winner and one of the most popular and enduring movies of all time, director Billy Wilder's legendary Sunset Boulevard opens the “From Hitler to Hollywood” film series hosted by the German American Heritage Center, its September 3 screening at Davenport venue The Last Picture House treating audience to what Rotten Tomatoes' critical consensus calls “a tremendously entertaining combination of noir, black comedy, and character study."
