EPISODE SUMMARY:

In this episode of Man on Film, your host Xcellence is joined by the always-theatrical guest host Mr. Carvaggio to decode, debate, and dissect "GOOD FORTUNE" the New Keanu Reeves Movie written and directed by Aziz Ansari and distributed by Lionsgate Films Good Fortune, a surreal comedy that asks: What would you do if you could literally change your destiny?

Expect sass, philosophy, and a little Hollywood side-eye as the duo break down:

Aziz Ansari’s curious directorial choices

Keke Palmer’s celestial glow

The film’s chaotic energy — part It’s a Wonderful Life, part Afterschool Special, part “what in the SAG-AFTRA is this?”

Excellence calls it a “faith-based acid trip.” Carvaggio calls it “inspiring… if you ignore the budget.”

A messy morality tale meets a B-movie fever dream. So is Good Fortune actually… good? Tune in and find out.

Step into the shadows with this sharp, hilarious, and surprisingly emotional review of The Black Phone 2 — a film that dares to blend trauma, telephones, and terror into one twisted trip.

In this episode, Xcellence teams up with his ever-dramatic and stylishly skeptical cohost, Mr. Carvaggio, for a cinematic takedown (or is it a redemption?) of one of the most anticipated horror sequels of the year.

Together, they ask the big questions:

• Did the ghost of Ethan Hawke leave enough room for a real plot?
• Are kids still the creepiest part of horror?
• And most importantly… how would you answer the phone from the other side

This isn’t your typical film review — it’s art critique meets pop culture drag meets spirit realm roast. Equal parts shade and insight, expect laughs, light reads, and some hard truths about horror, Hollywood, and healing through the screen.

Press play, if you dare…
