Welcome to a special episode of Why Watch That; this is all about reviews! Since we’ve been away for a couple of weeks in preparation for the future of Why Watch That, in this episode, we wanted to put together our reviews of recently released and soon-to-be released movies. Our first review is of “Arrival,” which opened last week and stars Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, and Forest Whitaker. The other three films that are reviewed in this episode all release this week. They are: “Bleed For This,” which stars Miles Teller, Aaron Eckhart, Ciaran Hinds, and Katey Sagal; “Nocturnal Animals,” which is directed by Tom Ford and also stars Amy Adams, along with Jake Gyllenhaal and a great supporting cast, including Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Michael Shannon, Armie Hammer, Isla Fisher, Michael Sheen, and Laura Linney; and “Manchester by the Sea,” which stars Casey Affleck, Michelle Williams, Lucas Hedges, and Kyle Chandler. By the way, at whywatchthat.com, we have even more recent reviews, including reviews of “Hacksaw Ridge,” “Loving,” and “Elle.” Enjoy!

In this episode, the Critic and the Referee take a step back from movie review after movie review to focus on ... "The Walking Dead"! Well, not just that, of course. Our dynamic duo talks about both new and returning TV shows. They also take a pause to reflect on the state of this year's fall film releases. Are these films delivering the goods so far? Listen to find out! Plus, there's a "Did You Know" about one of the most singular actors around and a "Pick of the Week" that will help you get your Netflix binge on. Enjoy!
