Step up your filmmaking game, folks. If your government hasn't given you a cease and desist, you've got work to do. Are you team Hamid, team Vahid & Shiva... or team dog from the opening sequence? And let's talk about Alex's pastry truck memory for a second. Ice cream trucks are great and all, but if a truck showed up in our neighborhood with fresh baked croissants? Next level. It Was Just An Accident is now available to rent or buy via several services, including Apple TV. And shout out to Some Like it Reel for recommending this film!

The fact that none of the kids in this film were nominated for Oscars is criminal. Get ready for middle school flashbacks, the smell of chlorine magically wafting off your screen, and a score that will make you feel like you're in a horror movie.

What's your favorite airport thriller, and has it been made into a movie yet? If not, you better buy those rights quick! In this episode, we continuously mispronounce Amanda Seyfried's name, speculate about veneer budgets for ex-cons, and contemplate if “one hundred hairs” would be a whole scalp full. Going on record that we called it early this film was getting a sequel! And if Sydney Sweeney wants to come clean our houses, we'll accept our fate. The Housemaid is currently in theaters.

Have you ever been so overcome with bottomless ambition that you had to drop everything and become the world table tennis champion? In this episode, we check out the new Safdie solo joint and ping-pong it back and forth a little with some different feelings about unlikable protagonists, sports movies that aren't really sports movies, and the blinding light that is Chalamet.

What if we all start saying "Jay Kelly" to mean just kidding? Jay Kelly. In this episode we discuss the fine line between George Clooney and characters played by George Clooney, the ongoing Sandlerssance, and how much value cheesecake adds to a movie.

Considering our split on this one, we’re betting there’s a 50% chance you’ll be emotionally compromised watching this film, so have your tissues ready and your therapist on speed dial. In this episode, we discuss the power of art to impact us all in different ways, the use of direct quotes and references in movies based on historical figures, and our unanimous obsession with Jessie Buckley. And now we’re wondering, have you ever walked out of a movie? Follow us on Instagram @⁠⁠⁠⁠unprocessed.movie.podcast Hamnet (2025)dir. Chloé Zhaowrit. Chloé Zhao & Maggie O'Farrellstarring Jessie Buckley, Paul Mescal, Emily Watson, Jacobi Jupe, Joe Alwyn

We're back from the holidays with Eternity starring Elizabeth Olsen and Miles Teller. We discuss how much rom-com we like in our rom-coms but mostly get distracted wondering who we'd bring with us to which of this movie's pre-packaged paradises. (We're taking Da'Vine Joy Randolph and John Early to Cinema World, how about you?) And does anyone have tips on how to love your job so much that you’d choose to continue doing it in the afterlife? Eternity is currently on the tail end of its theatrical run and available on VOD (with an Apple TV streaming release to follow). Follow us on Instagram @⁠⁠⁠⁠unprocessed.movie.podcast Eternity (2025)dir. David Freynewrit.

Whether or not we approve of this service, we certainly approve of Akira Emoto getting everything he wants in this world. And cat festivals. We approve of cat festivals.

Can we ask you something? If someone cooked you scallops at a romantic retreat after 4 months of dating, would you assume you're in a relationship? Can we ask you something else? Did you bet against hearing the word "kerning" in our episode today? If we're ever in trouble, our first phone call will be to... none of these characters. And it turns out secluded country houses might just be another theme of this year (every year?). Oh, Hi! is currently streaming on Netflix.

As much as we enjoy our chosen quote, it's got nothing on the 1987 original film's "I don't wanna be the only a*****e in heaven." We unanimously agreed Michael Cera owns the remake with his long johns, firefighter's pole, and Home Alone style deathtrapped house. But we have some questions. If you had to go on a game show to save your family, which one would you choose? And does anyone else subconsciously shout "stop filming me" at every public event? Follow us on Instagram @⁠⁠⁠⁠unprocessed.movie.podcast The Running Man (2025)dir. Edgar Wrightwrit. Michael Bacall & Edgar Wright (screenplay)starring Glen Powell, Josh Brolin, Jayme Lawson, Colman Domingo, Lee Pace, Michael Cera, Emilia Jones

Is everybody okay? Hard question to answer after seeing this movie. And I never thought I’d cry again while *editing* a podcast episode, but here we are! Though we debated Terrence Malick and the effectiveness of narration in filmmaking, we unanimously agreed that Joel Edgerton owns the screen with every glance. And listen out for some glorious, unintentional sound effects throughout our recording.

Starring Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, and newcomer Aidan Delbis, this cult favorite director's latest is actually a remake of the South Korean sci-fi comedy Save the Green Planet.
