CinemaChat Podcast w/Rob & Brent…and Reggie

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there. This is an episode about the worst dads in movies that Reggie and I recorded last week. I tacked on a VERY old Cutting Room Floor where we talked about the best dads SIX years ago.

WARNING: We do delve into spoilers.

This week we are discussing We Bury the Dead (2024...2026). After a catastrophic military accident devastates Tasmania and leaves the dead mysteriously reanimating, Ava (Daisy Ridley) joins a body retrieval unit in a desperate search for her missing husband. What begins as a post-apocalyptic survival story quickly evolves into a haunting exploration of grief, closure, and the emotional baggage we...

This week on CinemaChat Podcast, we're stepping into the endless maze of Backrooms (2026), the feature film adaptation of the viral internet horror phenomenon. Directed by Kane Parsons, the film follows a therapist searching for a missing man who has become trapped inside a bizarre alternate reality filled with impossible architecture, mysterious entities, and more questions than answers.

We discuss how effectively the film expands...

This week on CinemaChat, we dive into I Love Boosters (2026), the latest wildly original film from Boots Riley. Set in a surreal version of the Bay Area, the film follows Corvette (Keke Palmer) and her crew of fashion-savvy shoplifters as they target a ruthless fashion mogul who profits from stolen ideas and exploited labor. What starts as a stylish heist comedy quickly evolves into a bizarre mix of social satire, science fiction, ...

This week on the podcast, we’re reviewing Obsession (2026), the new horror film from rising filmmaker Curry Barker that’s been generating a ton of buzz online and on the festival circuit. What starts as an awkward romantic wish-fulfillment story quickly spirals into something disturbing, uncomfortable, and completely unhinged.

We talk about the film’s blend of horror and dark comedy, the nightmare-fuel performance...

This week on CinemaChat... we enter the TOURNAMENT once again (for the first time) with our review of Mortal Kombat II! After the mildly disappointing first film, does this sequel level up the action, characters, and fatalities… or does it fall victim to the franchise curse? We break down the fights, the new additions to the roster, the fan service, and whether the movie actually delivers the chaotic fun people want from Mor...

This week, we head into the Australian wilderness for Netflix’s survival thriller Apex (2026)! Charlize Theron stars as a grieving adrenaline junkie trying to reconnect with herself through an extreme solo adventure — only to find herself hunted by a terrifying psychopath played by Taron Egerton. Directed by Baltasar Kormákur (Everest, Beast), the film blends survival horror, psychological thriller, and brutal wildernes...

This week we’re checking out Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice (2026), a fast-moving crime comedy that throws time travel, gangsters, and double-crosses into the same chaotic night. With Vince Vaughn pulling double duty and James Marsden in the mix, the movie leans into a wild premise where survival gets a whole lot more complicated once the timeline starts getting messed with.

We talk about the chemistry between Vaughn ...

This week we’re checking out War Machine (2026), a military thriller that takes a hard left turn into full-blown sci-fi chaos on Netflix.

Led by Alan Ritchson, the story blends military with sci-fi spectacle, as the squad is forced to adapt, survive, and figure out how to take down an enemy that’s faster, stronger, and unlike anything they’ve trained for.

We get into whether the genre mashup actually works, how ef...

This week we check out The Drama (2026), a romantic comedy that quickly reveals itself to be something much darker. What starts as a stylish, slightly offbeat look at a couple heading toward their wedding turns into a tense unraveling when a shocking confession changes everything.

The film leans heavily into uncomfortable territory, mixing humor with some pretty heavy themes as the relationship between Emma and Charlie is put under...

This week we’re checking out They Will Kill You (2026), a horror-thriller that leans into paranoia, isolation, and the creeping sense that something isn’t quite right.

We get into whether the slow-burn approach works, how effective the set pieces actually are, and if the story brings anything fresh to a genre packed with similar setups.

So is They Will Kill You the kind of horror that sticks with you after the credits r...

This week we’re diving into Project Hail Mary (2026), the highly anticipated sci-fi adaptation of the book by Andy Weir. Known for blending big scientific ideas with humor and heart, this story follows a lone astronaut who wakes up with no memory...only to realize he may be humanity’s last hope.

We talk about how the adaptation might handle the book’s heavy science elements, whether Ryan Gosling is the right fit f...

This week we’re heading back into Radio Silence's world of deadly family traditions with Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026). The sequel brings us back to the chaos, blending dark comedy with brutal survival horror.

The film leans into sharp humor, creative kills, and that over-the-top rich family energy. However, it's trying to expand the story in a bigger way. Does it recaptures the magic or just repeats the formula with mor...

This week, we bring back Reggie's favorite topic...trading on the futures of people's careers! We take a look at several actors (directors and studios) and determine if we are buying, selling or holding stock in their career.

This week we’re talking about Send Help (2026), a survival thriller that strands two very different people on a deserted island after a plane crash. What starts as a desperate fight to stay alive slowly turns into something more complicated, as their personalities clash and the situation pushes both of them to their limits.

The movie leans into tension, dark humor, and the uncomfortable dynamic between two strangers forced to...

This week we check out Crime 101 (2026), a crime thriller that looks like it’s setting up a classic heist story… but takes a slightly different path getting there. The film leans into a slower, more methodical approach, focusing on the investigation and the characters circling each other rather than nonstop action.

So where does Crime 101 land for us — worth checking out, or one you can safely skip? Tune in to he...

This week we’re reviewing Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die (2026) —a time-travel comedy where one guy is sent back to stop humanity from handing the keys to the world over to AI. It’s got big “fix the timeline” energy, plenty of chaos, and a surprisingly relevant premise… even if it’s mostly played for laughs. Is this movie a winner? Listen to find out...

Action, chaos, and star power collide.

The Wrecking Crew (2026) brings together a high-octane cast for a globe-trotting mission packed with explosive set pieces, sharp humor, and buddy-action energy. Can Bautista and Mamoa capture some magic? Does it deliver on its promise, or does it get lost in the wreckage?

The Rage Virus returns… and this time, it’s evolved.

Nia DaCosta steps up to expand the world of 28 Days Later with 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple—a continuation that pushes the infected apocalypse into uncharted territory.

Does this sequel live up to the legacy? Are we looking forward to another? Or has the franchise hit a wall?
