The Roundup with Jeff Stockton (Season 26 Round 4)

 
The box office continued its turn around following the disastrous financial outcome in Round 1. Here's The Roundup....

3. Titans: Evil Incarnate
The action was solid in this entry. I did have some issues with the film overall, but it certainly wasn't a bad film. Plus it was bolstered by the addition of Joey King's Raven to the lineup. Speaking of which...

2. Joey King
While I have some mixed feelings on the film itself, Joey King was great as Raven in her first performance since her Best Supporting Actress GRA-winning performance in Letter to Myself back in Season 10.

1. Box Office
Despite Free the Chicago Seven! flopping, this round was still strong at the box office thanks to the season-best gross of Titans: Evil Incarnate.


3. Titans: Evil Incarnate
I think the film was plotted well enough, but I felt like this film was lacking a little bit in the personality department.

2. Tara's Web
Victoria Pedretti and Jacob Elordi were both great in the lead roles, but it never felt especially erotic - at least not compared to the other erotic entries LRF has released in recent seasons.  

1. Free the Chicago Seven!
I don't feel like this film added much to the equation that Aaron Sorkin's recent film didn't already cover. Aside from Hoffman and Rubin, everyone felt like a blank slate, but even those two were never covered in anything more than superficial details in my opinion.
