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 a microscope. It’s less about the wedding itself and more about what happens when the past crashes into the present in a way you can’t ignore. So where does The Drama land for us? A bold and thought-provoking film, or a swing that doesn’t quite connect? Tune in to hear our final ratings. -- We will be reviewing requests from patrons once a month.

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 roll, or one that fades out just as quickly?

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 for the lead, and the genius filmmaking techniques! So does Project Hail Mary deliver a must-watch space epic, or is it one that gets lost somewhere in the vacuum?

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 more blood? So does Ready or Not 2 deliver another killer round… or should this game have ended after the first? Tune in to hear where we land. -- We will be reviewing requests from patrons once a month.

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 on each other when there’s no escape. So where does Send Help land for us — a gripping survival story worth checking out, or one that leaves us stranded along the way?

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 ratings. -- We will be reviewing requests from patrons once a month.

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?

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.

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 premiere tier actors of their generation? -- We will be reviewing requests from patrons once a month.

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.
