Untitled Film Project Podcast

As huge Nate Bargatze fans (his specials, his albums, his SNL appearances, the Nateland podcast), we were really excited for him to bring a traditional, family-style comedy into theaters. Unfortunately, it didn't work. So let's talk about it...

Marvel has been hit-or-miss since ENDGAME, but man, when they hit, they hit. SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY is a home run in terms of character development, cameos, heart, action, and fun. So let's talk about it...

Taking a 3,000-year-old literary work and turning it into a modern-day masterpiece is something only Christopher Nolan could do. THE ODYSSEY is a masterclass in filmmaking, so let's talk about it...

We're not sure what the pitch meeting was like, but we know that PRESSURE is an incredible movie. So, we're reviewing PRESSURE, the historical drama about how a meteorologist (played by Andrew Scott) was critical in turning the tide of World War II for the Allies on the beaches of Normandy. Look, D-Day has been done in cinema countless times, so it's great to see a different take on the strategy of war. Let's talk about it...

There's no denying Steven Spielberg is one of the best directors in the history of cinema. There's also no denying that when studios start the hype machine seven months out, it's rarely a good sign. So, does DISCLOSURE DAY live up to the hype? Let's talk about it...

With a reported budget of around $10 million, BACKROOMS has grossed over a quarter of a billion dollars at the global box office. But why? What is it about this little movie that has captured the attention -- and curiosity -- of the average moviegoer? Is it Chiwetel Ejiofor's incredible performance? Is it 20-year-old director Kane Parsons? Is it because of the lore of creepypasta? Let's talk about it...

Whether you're fans of the original He-Man and the Masters of the Universe show from the 1980's or not, we think the 2026 MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE reboot is a great time at the theater! Well... two of us do. So let's talk about it!

As with any film or show in a massive franchise (Marvel, Star Wars, DCEU, etc.), one of the problems with welcoming new fans into the saga is the amount of homework that needs to happen before you watch something. THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU is a great example of a fun, action-packed Star Wars movie that doesn't require an ounce of research to enjoy. But does that make it a good movie? Let's talk about it...

One of the co-stars of the new Netflix/Happy Madison comedy ROOMMATES, Aidan Langford, joins the Untitled Film Project Podcast to talk about the ability to improvise on set, how Sadie Sandler is "an angel," and the nerves involved in meeting Adam Sandler had him taking over an airplane bathroom. So let's talk about it...

The Michael Jackson biopic MICHAEL is about to gross a billion dollars. But, does it honor the King of Pop? Why is Janet Jackson nowhere to be found in the film? Is it just a "concert film" or is there depth? Let's talk about it...

During two recent episodes, we found ourselves talking about what categories we would defend on the game show THE FLOOR, both movie-related and general knowledge. So what topic would you pick if you were cast as a contestant on THE FLOOR? Let's talk about it...

The Super Mario franchise is a cash cow. There's no reason to think THE SUPER MARIO GALAXY MOVIE will be any different. But we noticed that, at the end of the day, the filmmakers relied on the incredible visuals and treasure trove of characters to generate said cash because, quite frankly, there's just about nothing else of value. So let's talk about it!

Maggie Gyllenhaal is an accomplished actor. She's also written and directed an incredible indie film, THE LOST DAUGHTER. But THE BRIDE! is hardly the follow-up anybody wanted to see. There are redeeming qualities of THE BRIDE! -- Jessie Buckley's performance, in particular -- but, all in all, it's a complete mess. Is it a mob movie? Is it an uprising movie? Is it a monster movie? Is it a feminist movie? So let's talk about it...

Expectations are high among fans of Project Hail Mary. So for book lovers, audiobook fans, and moviegoers alike—how does it stack up? Is it already the best movie of 2026 so far? We break down the heart, friendship, and humor behind one of the year’s most anticipated films.

Disney/Pixar movies are always fun for kids. But they haven't really made an original, high-quality movie that hits people of all ages in a long time. Probably since 2017's COCO. Is HOPPERS a return to form? Let's talk about it...

This one isn't for everybody. But, if you enjoy dark comedy and appreciate satire, grab your popcorn because GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON'T DIE is a must-watch!

CRIME 101 hit theaters with zero hype. Unlike HOPPERS, PROJECT HAIL MARY, or THE ODYSSEY, CRIME 101 got almost zero promotion... but, in this case, that's a good thing. The ensemble cast including Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Barry Keoghan and Halle Berry (among others) is outstanding, the directing is incredible and the writing is even better. So let's talk about it...
