The Belchers are in trouble in Bob’s Burgers Movie trailer

For over a decade, Bob’s Burgers has been a key show on Fox’s Sunday night animation block. And now that the series is nearing the end of its 12th season, it’s finally heading to the big screen. This May, The Bob’s Burgers Movie is bringing the Belcher family’s adventures to a new level, not entirely unlike The Simpsons Movie did in 2007. That’s why it’s fitting that the movie is also pushing the Belcher family to the brink. And if they don’t come out on top, then the Belchers won’t have anywhere to go home to.

In the new trailer, Bob is hit with a big bill shortly before a massive sinkhole opens up right in front of the family business, Bob’s Burgers. With the restaurant’s long-term survival in doubt, Bob’s wife, Linda, makes some questionable choices to help keep it alive. We’re assuming that’s the story behind her unfortunate burger suit bikini. Meanwhile, the Belcher children, Tina, Gene, and Louise, believe that something in the sinkhole may prove to be the salvation of their family’s dreams. Assuming they don’t get themselves killed, of course.

Don’t watch the awful Marvel film Madame Web. Watch this underrated movie instead
Dakota Johnson looks through a spiderweb in an image from "Madame Web."

If you've already seen Madame Web this week, don't say that we didn't try to warn you. Even when the MCU has faltered, Marvel Studios' movies have been better than Sony's half-hearted Spider-Man-adjacent knockoffs. Now Madame Web gets to live on next to Morbius among the biggest comic book movie busts of all-time. Perhaps they should save a spot for Kraven the Hunter to join them this summer.

Look, if you really want to see a bad superhero movie like Madame Web in theaters, don't let us stop you. But if you want a better viewing option without leaving the comfort of your own home, we're suggesting that you watch an underrated superhero movie from 2003: Daredevil. While it's true that Daredevil was maligned at the time of its release, it sure looks a lot better in retrospect 21 years later, especially if you've seen Mark Steven Johnson's director's cut. Daredevil was also upstaged by Marvel's Daredevil TV series that premiered in 2015, which ranks among the all-time great comic book adaptations. But once you read our reasons why we're recommending the Daredevil movie, you may see the film in a different light.
Daredevil has a terrific cast

Why the Will Ferrell comedy Elf is still the best Christmas movie ever
Will Ferrell sits at a desk in Elf.

There's a scene in Elf where Will Ferrell's Buddy walks into a New York City coffee shop after seeing a sign in the window that reads" World's best cup of coffee." He then praises the entire staff for creating what he thinks is the best version of the popular drink. Buddy gleefully says, "You did it! Congratulations. World's best cup of coffee. Great job everybody," as the staff looks at him with blank stares. Pretend that the sign reads, "World's best Christmas movie," and I'm playing the role of Buddy in 2003, congratulating the cast and crew of Elf for creating a Christmas classic. I would have received the same confused looks from everyone in the room. Yet, time has been good to Elf, which has aged like a fine wine.

After 20 years, Elf has entered the pantheon of great Christmas movies and owns the championship belt for best of the 21st century. Released in theaters on November 7, 2003, Elf depicts the story of Buddy, a human raised by Santa's elves after being accidentally transported to the North Pole. As an adult, Buddy is an outcast due to his large stature and inability to make toys. After learning he's a human, Buddy leaves the North Pole to find his biological father, Walter Hobbs (James Caan), in New York City. Walter is a selfish businessman whose decision to prioritize work over his family puts him on the "Naughty List." Devastated, but not deterred, Buddy believes that by spending time with Walter, his Christmas spirit will rub off on his father and reshape his attitude.
