DVD/Streaming Review: The Mitchells vs. the Machines
This animated comedy action flick from Netflix deals with a tech apocalypse and the unlikely "un-techy" family that now has to save the world. It delivers terrific messages about family and tech addiction. But a same-gender romance revealed in the closing credits is something parents will want to take note of, too.

TV Review: Rebel
"Rebel," the show – just like the character – comes with plenty of baggage.

DVD Review: Stowaway
If the screenwriters had throttled back, if they’d kept what you hear as clean as what you see, this Netflix film could’ve been PG.

Movie Review: Mortal Kombat
This ultraviolent video game and movie franchise has been raising parents’ blood pressure since 1992. Nothing’s changed on that score here, but a new generation of young, would-be fans might well be interested in this one despite its R-rating.

Customer Reviews
Plugged In is Trying to Protect You!!!!
I know that many viewers out there don’t care about Plugged In and think they are trying to boss you around. NEWSFLASH: They are not!! They are only trying to protect you and your family. If you see a movie that is 0 stars, I think you know that that is a movie you do NOT want to take your kids to. If you have seen one, (which I HIGHLY recommend you don’t) you probably know that is not a great movie. Plugged In has reasons to rate these badly rated movies (violence, language, nudity etc.). Yes, people curse in real life, but I believe they don’t mention it because they want you to read the review. Another possible reason is that they want to protect kids who may not know what a bad word is. But the point is, this podcast wants your family to get the best out of a film in a cinema, and generally protect your early teens, younger kids, maybe even yourself. Some movies(I will chose not to mention them) are so bad that Plugged In doesn’t even rate them!!!
So I encourage you to listen to these podcasts and look at the website and PLEASE take the time to see how they rate a movie before you go see it at the cinema.
Great podcast!!!
You got to check plugged in before you watch a movie. I mean, really, who wants to watch a bad movie? You can check any new movie through a Christian lens. Plugged in will let you know if there’s any cussing or murrdering, and will give you a 1-5 star rating
Example: "spider-man into the spiderverse” has 4 out of 5 stars for family friendliness. So I’ll give plugged in 5 out of 5 stars.
Great but bad
When the podcast will actually load I enjoy hearing about the movies. 9 times out of 10 this podcast won’t load and play.
