We know a lot about movies
Episodes
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 rely ...
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 hear our final rating...
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?

It’s finally time to reveal the picks.
In this episode, all eight players unveil their full 2026 domestic box office lists, including ranked Top 10 selections and dark horse picks. We break down the strategies, overlap, bold swings, safe bets, and potential disasters as everyone locks in their movies for the year.
Who played it safe? Who went all-in on upside? And whose list is going to look real bad by summer?
Whether you’re track...
This week, we’re reviewing Bugonia (2025), the latest from director Yorgos Lanthimos. Starring Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons, Bugonia leans hard into paranoia, power, and absurdity, following two conspiracy-minded men who kidnap a powerful CEO they believe may not be human. Listen as we break down what works, what doesn’t, and whether Lanthimos’ increasingly strange style still hits for us. Also, are Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons pre...
This week we’re diving into The Rip (2026). BE WARNED...This one has spoilers to the point where I put a spoiler warning in the beginning of the episode. It's worth your time and it's on Netflix. If you're even passively interested in it, you should watch it before listening.
Is this one a hidden gem, a misfire, or somewhere in between? We break down the performances, story choices, and whether the movie delivers on its premise or ...
Reggie and I take a look at the release schedule via whentostream.com and discuss what we are excited for throughout 2026. What are you excited to see? Is there anything that we MUST review?

What was once a patreon-exclusive staple has been brought to the main show. We couldn't let it die, but it's a little different doing it with two people. We might make some changes to the format moving forward. However, you actually get two DIFFERENT movies with this one!

In this episode Reggie and I discuss what the sale of Warner Bros means and who we think will/should(?) be the company to take the reigns. It is a pretty good discussion even though we align closely on almost everything here.

You might think this jaunt back into horror is ill-timed, but the joke is on you! This movie is set in the winter! We're talking about Black Phone 2 (2025). Can this franchise really continue after the death of The Grabber in part 1? Well, obviously...

This week we are back to reviewing movies with The Running Man (2025). This remake of an 80's sci-fi Arnold flick follows Stephen King's book more faithfully.

Listen...we always start off with the best of intentions. We never say we will do something without the intention of doing it. When we gave you our plan about how we'd cover this topic in October, we said it might not happen that way. What we didn't expect was to be putting it all into one episode at the end of the month. Sometimes...life happens. Enjoy listening to us talk about our experience in October.
