Grief, neon, and a dog with a secret — welcome to another winter edition of Flick Fix.
This month, Austin takes on three wildly different new releases. First up is The Smashing Machine, a bruising biopic that gives Dwayne Johnson the most vulnerable role of his career. Then we jack into Tron: Ares, a sleek, visually stunning return to the Grid that dazzles more than it connects. And rounding out the lineup is Good Boy, a haunted house story told from a dog’s perspective — yes, really — equal parts eerie and endearing.
Finally, in our Spotlight Review, we wander into the quiet woods of Oregon with Pig (2021), where Nicolas Cage turns grief into something tender and transcendent. It’s a story about love, loss, and the power of food to bring us home — all on this month’s episode of Flick Fix.
