The Roundup with Jeff Stockton (Season 35 Round 2)

 

Moving on to Round 2. Here's The Roundup....

3. Zorro

Welcome to LRF, Johnny Mercer. His debut Zorro was solid, although maybe a bit dry at times. With its box office performance, I am interested to see a potential sequel.

2. Thus Dreamed Zarathustra

As usual Meirad Tako delivered something very unexpected in every possible way - both good and bad (mostly good).

1. The Punisher: Purgatory

I think Dwight Gallo's Punisher series might just be my favorite LRF Marvel franchise. It feels like its own violent, gritty thing and its all perfectly cast.

3. Profits

While there have been a few solid earners so far, no major blockbusters. It might be another season where the studio profits are made or broken by a couple late season hits/flops.

2. Thus Dreamed Zarathustra

I didn't dislike the film, but I do think it was marketed wrong as a Drama / Biopic. 

1. Diego Luna

I've never understood the appeal of Diego Luna. He seems small and lack the charisma I expected from the new Zorro. He wasn't terrible, but he didn't click for me.
