    The Cinematic Schematic is back from a short hiatus to do a winter 2023 film review round-up covering this season’s biggest movies. The conversation starts with a discussion over M. Night Shyamalan’s latest film, Knock at the Cabin before we take a look at the unexpected conclusion to the Magic Mike “Trilogy,” Magic Mike’s Last Dance. We then conclude the show with our thoughts on Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and the state of the MCU at the beginning of “phase 5.”

    Hosts Caleb Masters and Laron Chapman are rejoined by Daniel Bokemper to dissect every bug, including the little guy.

    Does M. Night have his mojo back? Is Jonathan Majors the best thing to happen to the MCU since Loki? What else is in store in this winter 2023 film review round-up? Tune in to get our verdicts on all of these films and more!
