Once Upon a Deadpool
Once Upon a Deadpool is more of a companion piece rather than a replacement for Deadpool 2 as it doesn’t easily explain several of the plot points which are glossed over in this family-friendlier version.

White Boy Rick Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
White Boy Rick
White Boy Rick is a solid effort that introduces Merritt and reminds us why we love McConaughey and the fact that it is based on a true story makes it all the more interesting.
