Jose (Cupcake) and Mike (TheWildaBeast) go full spoiler on Luc Besson's Dracula (2025) — also known overseas as Dracula: A Love Tale — and buckle up, because this movie is a LOT. In this breakdown episode (156b), they tear into everything: the shameless Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) Coppola rip-offs, the cologne-fueled nun-feeding frenzy, kung fu gargoyles doing Black Widow throws, a Zoom-background ballroom dance sequence, the "cocaine bride," and an ending that may or may not set up a sequel nobody asked for. Is it a trainwreck? Absolutely. Is it entertaining? Somehow, yes. This is the ultimate "so bad it's good" group watch — think Hammer Horror meets Tim Burton meets Beauty and the Beast on a bad CGI budget.

"Luc Besson's DRACULA (2025) Review — Baroque Mess or Vampire Masterpiece? Jose (Cupcake) and Mike (The WillDaBeast) dive into Luc Besson's Dracula: A Love Tale (2025) — the wildly divisive gothic romance that premiered at Cannes Film Festival and is finally making its way to audiences. Is this campy, kung-fu-gargoyle-filled fever dream a bold reimagining of Bram Stoker's classic or just an expensive baroque mess? The guys break down Caleb Landry Jones's hypnotic, chameleonic turn as the Count, Christoph Waltz completely going off-script, the film's obvious debt to Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula, and why — despite everything — neither host could look away.

In this spoiler-filled deep dive into Mercy, Cupcake and The WillDaBeast break down everything — from Chris Pratt's controversial casting as a morally grey cop strapped to a chair for 90 minutes, to Rebecca Ferguson's stunning performance as an AI judge, jury, and executioner. Is this screen-life thriller actually a hidden gem, or is it the worst movie of 2026? We're discussing the shocking twist, the revenge plot, the OJ Simpson parallels, the script's wild swings between AI commentary and criminal justice critique, and whether director Timur Bekmambetov's bold cinematic experiment actually paid off. If you loved Missing or Searching, this one's in your wheelhouse — and if you hated it, trust us, we fought about it too.

In this explosive episode of WatchSkip+, hosts Cupcake (Jose) and TheWildabeast (Mike) deliver their most divided review yet of the 2026 sci-fi thriller Mercy, starring Chris Pratt and Rebecca Ferguson. Directed by Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted, Night Watch), this IMAX AI courtroom drama has critics split down the middle. Is Mercy a brilliant screenlife movie exploring artificial intelligence and the future of the justice system, or is it the worst script of 2026? Our hosts debate Chris Pratt's casting, Rebecca Ferguson's AI judge performance, the film's real-time 90-minute format, and whether this thriller succeeds as social commentary on AI technology. If you loved Missing, Searching, Unfriended, or Bekmambetov's previous screenlife films, you need to hear this heated discussion.

THE visionary zombie franchise 28 Years Later ROARS BACK with the BONE TEMPLE sequel.

DON’T LOOK UNDER THE BED…..THE DUST BUNNY MIGHT EAT YOU!!!!Dave from Raiders of the Podcast joins WillDaBeast and Cupcake for the last episode of 2025 (and Season Three) to review Dust Bunny, the feature directing debut of Bryan Fuller, the creative wunderkind behind Heroes, Pushing Daisies, and Hannibal. Starring Hannibal himself, Mads Mikkelson, Sophie Sloan, David Dastmalchian, and one Sigourney Weaver, this hybrid fairy-tale-actioner plays like “Amelie” meets “Luc Besson’s The Professional” meets "John Wick".

FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY’S IS BACK WITH A SEQUEL…BUT IS IT A SNOOZER OR A SMASHER? ALSO…WHO ASKED FOR THIS?!!?!?Mike joins a very glossy lipped Cupcake to review Cupcake’s future husband - Josh Hutcherson’s - new movie - Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, the sequel to the 2023 original, based on the games and stories written by Christian-conservative Trump Supporter Scott Cawthon. With director Emma Tammi and fellow castmembers Elizabeth Lail, Piper Rubio and Matthew Lillard returning along with some new actors (Skeet Ulrich, McKenna Grace, and Teo Briones), the sequel has buzz and anticipation.

A24’s ETERNITY: CHOOSING BETWEEN MILES TELLER OR CALLUM TURNER SEEMS LIKE A HARD DILEMMA BUT DOES THIS HIGH CONCEPT ROM-COM DELIVER? #alliterationA24 is known for its intense dramas and horror films. The Watch/Skip’ers take on A24’s latest: Eternity, a rare COMEDY about a love triangle…..in the afterlife. The high-concept rom-com comes straight from Irish indie filmmaker David Freyne and has a cast including super hotties Elisabeth Olsen, Miles Teller, Callum Turner, and Da’Vine Joy Randolph. While the concept feels like a riff on “Defending Your Life” meets "Beetlejuice" with a healthy dose of Prime’s “Upload”, is this overly cute and charming fantasy a winner replete with deep messages about love and choices and the road not taken or does it deserve to be sent to its own eternity of failed romance flicks not worthy of a first date?   FLAG DOWN YOUR AFTERLIFE CONSULTANT AND CHECK OUT THE NEW WATCH SKIP PLUS! (Editor’s Note: Listeners are gonna have a fun time figuring out which suitor Cupcake would choose.)TIMESTAMPS00:00 Teaser / WE LOVE WILD DREAM PODCAST!04:06 Intro06:38 Eternity: Below and Above the Line19:13 Spoiler Free Thoughts30:27 ETERNITY SPOILED!47:18 Outro- - - - - - - - - -WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS! FOLLOW/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE/REVIEW/LOVEEmail us: WatchSkipPlus@gmail.com#Eternity #elizabetholsen #milesteller #callumturner #davinejoyrandolph #johnearly #bettybuckley #barryprimus #davidfreyne #patcunnane #ruairiobrien #davidfleming #angusstrathie #A24 #starthrowerentertainment
WICKED returns with the roar of a tornado…BUT IS IT “FOR GOOD”? Surprisingly, WillDaBeast loves musicals as much as Cupcake does and so it goes…Part 2 of the Broadway musical Wicked is back! Filmed all at the same time but split into two parts and separated by one year, the Jon M. Chu directed Act Two, still starring Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, and Jonathon Bailey, rolls out a yellow brick road back to the continuing story of Glinda and Elphaba. But gone are the sunny, sing-songy, Mean Girls shenanigans replaced by a darker and more urgent tone with a spotlight on the Wizard (Jeff Goldblum) and the enchantingly evil Madame Morrible (Michelle Yeoh). Will audiences take to this and click their heels in joy or will they wish a house was dropped on the at-times juvenile and rushed second act? Will anyone care how this story threads its connections to the beloved “Wizard of Oz”? FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD to the new streamlined (read: shorter) Watch Skip Plus and find out!TIMESTAMPS00:00 Teaser02:33 Intro / Splitting a Movie into 2 parts06:16 Wicked For Good: Below & Above the Line13:06 Spoiler Free Thoughts25:13 WICKED FOR GOOD SPOILED!- - - - - - - - - -WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS! FOLLOW/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE/REVIEW/LOVEEmail us: WatchSkipPlus@gmail.com#wicked #wickedforgood #cynthiaerivo #arianagrande #jeffgoldblum #michelleyeoh #jonathanbailey #jonmchu #alicebrooks #johnpowell #stephenschwartz #winnieholzman #danafox #universalpictures #marcplattproductions
Second verse….just like the first! BAM! … Another Double Movie Review! The Boyz loved the last double feature movie review so they decided to do it ALL OVER AGAIN! First up, kinetic visualist @edgarwright brings us the second adaption of “The Running Man”. Written by Stephen King (under a pseudonym of Richard Bachman) and famously adapted in 1987 to the screen starring one Arnold Schwarzenegger, Cupcake and WillDaBeast answer the question on everyone’s mind: Not “Is Glen Powell STILL a thing?” but “Is this true-to-story adaptation better than AH’nuld’s”? Next: The director of the smashing successful Neon releases “LongLegs” and “The Monkey” returns with the folk horror chamberpiece (Editor’s note: Can we ban this term from the show? Dislike!). Standout actors Tatiana Maslany and Rossif Sutherland act in a slow-burn horror Grimm Fairy Tale-esque thriller. But are all the “WTF”s and mystery imagery shenanigans worth the punchline? Maaayyyybe….Oz and Neon need a time out. WS+....It’s us with a double feature.

PREPARE YOURSELVES: the first ever double review episode is upon YOU!!!! In what can only be described as a historic “creature double feature”, the verbose Watch/Skip Plus guys take on TWO movies in one episode - stripped down, no pluses, quick intro’s, full on movie review glory! First up, yet another reinvention for the Predator franchise, Predator Badlands crash lands in theatres. Dan Trachtenberg (director of the last two Predator films - Prey and the animated Hulu exclusive Predators:Killer of Killers) gambles that audiences will take to a Predator film from the vantage point of the Predator itself. Did this perspective shift/PG-13 CGI fest work or should it be trophy killed as prey? Next up, Pod-Father Sam U. Rai from the Gentleman’s Guide to Midnite Cinema sneaks in and the three take on the much anticipated Frankenstein, a little streamer exclusive on Netflix from wonderkind, monster-lover Guillermo Del Toro. After all the adaptations of Mary Shelley’s thought-provoking novel,  did Del Toro build us a better masterpiece or are his creative excesses (brilliant and visually appealing as they are) taking the sheen off his usual visionary style? PS: Listen on to find out the weird James Cameron connection and the similar themes in both films!GET THIS DOUBLE INSIDE YOU………NOW!TIMESTAMPS00:00 Teaser04:52 Predator Badlands: The Franchise13:17 Predator Badlands: Below the Line / The Crew 18:22 Predator Badlands: Above the Line / The Cast20:40 Predator Badlands Spoiler Free Thoughts33:08 Predator Badlands SPOILED!43:29 Frankenstein: Intro44:17 Frankenstein: Below the Line / The Crew 49:24 Frankenstein: Above the Line / The Cast58:23 Frankenstein: Spoiler Free Thoughts 01:24:05 Frankenstein SPOILED!01:47:29 Outro- - - - - - - - - -WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS! FOLLOW/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE/REVIEW/LOVEEmail us: WatchSkipPlus@gmail.com#predatorbadlands #dantrachtenberg #ellefanning #dimitriusschusterkoloamatangi #patrickaison #sarahschachner #benjaminwallfisch #jeffcutter #20thcenturystudios #fox #disney #tsgentertainment #frankenstein #guillermodeltoro #oscarisaac #jacobelordi #christophwaltz #miagoth #felixkammerer #charlesdance #danlaustsen #alexandredesplat #bluegrassfilms #demilofilms #doubledareyou #ggtmc #jamescameron #berniewrightson

And so it is with Shelby Oaks, the debut feature of one Chris Stuckmann. Kickstarter’d, delayed, reshot, remixed, edited, EP’d and shepherded to the screen by rising superstar horror director Mike Flanagan and a host of other contemporary horror creators, is Shelby Oaks THE horror debut from a YouTube content creator worthy of all those hyperbolic quotes on the poster? (Editor’s Note: The Phillipous and Talk to Me just said, “HOLD MY BEER”.) Or does this have “rookie filmmaker missteps” ALL over it? Team Web (Cupcake) and Team Sundance (WillDaBeast) have thoughts…lots of them…and you may be surprised who is the MOST critical.

Based on a short story by Stephen King’s son Joe Hill, the sequel is directed by genre friendly director-writer Scott Derrickson who also helmed the Sinister films and Doctor Strange. Starring returning actors Mason Thames (who is on a hot streak as the current IT actor), Madeleine McGraw, Miguel Mora, and Ethan Hawke, is this sequel a worthy expansion of the Grabber storyline/universe or is it just silly “bigger, bolder, better but more of the same”?                  ACCEPT THE CALL AND MASK UP FOR THE NEW WATCH SKIP PLUS!!!!October is still “Spooky Season”, and Mike has capsule reviews of horror films - John Carpenter’s Prince of Darkness, VHS Halloween, I See You, and spotlights director Brandon Christensen whose Shudder exclusives have become WillDaBeast must see’s.

2025-10-2001:38:04

IS THE THIRD TIME THE CHARM FOR A BELOVED FRANCHISE WHOSE FIRST FILM BOMBED AND WHOSE SEQUEL WAS ONLY A MODERATE BOX OFFICE SUCCESS?!??Fun Fact: the original 1982 Tron is one of Cupcake’s favorite nostalgic cornerstone films. This week he forces WillDaBeast to watch the third film in the franchise: Tron: Ares. Directed by one of the co-directors of the last Pirates of the Caribbean movie and starring up and coming performers Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith and Evan Peters, veteran actors Jeff Bridges and Gillian Anderson, and starring the nearly-cancelled, gorgeous but maybe difficult to work worth and satisfy, questionable celebrity Jared Leto, Tron: Ares dazzles with sizzling CGI effects and a banging Nine Inch Nails score. For a franchise that has only offered three films in FORTY THREE YEARS (!), will this sequel revive the “was it ever there” franchise or is it time for Tron to hit the “Recycle Bin” for good?                RECTIFY THE NEW WATCH SKIP PLUS OR FACE THE GAME GRID!!!!October is “Spooky Season”, and Mike has capsule reviews of horror films: some retro-screenings and a few new streamers. Cupcake talks the ridiculous Chris Pratt trailer for his new film that hits in 2026 and then warns viewers about the “profoundly disturbing” Spanish horror film “The Coffee Table” TIMESTAMPS00:00 Teaser01:36 Intro03:45 The Tron Legacy (as in franchise)10:06 Tron: Ares - Below the Line / The Crew25:40 Tron: Ares - Above the Line / The Cast42:05 Spoiler Free Thoughts56:05 SPOILERS AHEAD01:08:38 Mike's Plus01:22:19 Jose's Plus01:32:55 Outro- - - - - - - - - -WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS! FOLLOW/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE/REVIEW/LOVEEmail us: WatchSkipPlus@gmail.com#TronAres #joachimronning #stevelisberger #jaredleto #gretalee #jeffbridges #evanpeters #jodieturnersmith #gilliananderson #arturocastro #jessewigutow #daviddigilio #nineinchnails #trentreznor #atticusross #jeffcronenweth #disney #paradox #seanbaileyproductions #casper #newnightmare #dangerousanimals #jaicourtney #vicious #bryanbertino #mercymovie #chrispratt #timurbekmambetov #thecoffeetable #cayecasas

*Special thanks to Riverside whose software we use to edit our videos; there was a quirk preventing this clip from being exported/perfected, but despite the delay in release, Riverside tech support has been nothing short of brilliant and amazing in identifying and fixing the issue.SEX AND VIOLENCE COLLIDE IN “BONE LAKE”...BUT DOES IT NAIL ITS MONEY SHOT?!??Cheeky sexy marketing campaign? Check. Trailer that makes it look like a sexed-up “You’re Next”? Check. Gorgeous, drool-worthy leads? Check. Excellent script and execution…..Uhhhhhhhhhhh WilDaBeast and Cupcake welcome back Tyler from Raiders of the Podcast to give you the skinny (or rather….the girth, maybe?) on the erotic thriller “Bone Lake”. Directed by a woman who also shot a short entitled “Come F*ck My Robot” and written by a screenwriter with only two little seen films as credits, the charged up posters and marketing hint at a bloody sex fest with ex’s and axes. Starring Maddie Hasson, Marco Piggosi, Alex Roe, and Andra Nechitta, this thriller has two couples showing up at the same AirBnB where a weekend turns into psychosexual gamesmanship replete with sexing, stabbing, and sawing. But can does it deliver the goods?                GET IT UP FOR THE NEW WATCH SKIP PLUS!!!!For Plusses, Tyler talks the 2005 thriller Derailed, speaking of “psychosexual gamesmanship” while Mike plusses all the fun horror films he’s been consuming since “Spooky Season” started October 1 including the in-theatres Regal 31 Screams On Screen.TIMESTAMPS00:00 Teaser02:38 Intro05:55 Bone Lake: Below the Line / The Crew12:02 Bone Lake: Above the Line / The Cast22:17 Spoiler Free Thoughts37:21 SPOILERS AHEAD01:01:48 Tyler's Plus01:05:45 Mike's Plus01:11:45 Outro- - - - - - - - - -WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS! FOLLOW/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE/REVIEW/LOVEEmail us: WatchSkipPlus@gmail.com#BoneLake #mercedesbrycemorgan #alexroe #maddiehassan #marcopiggosi #andranechita #joshuafriedlander #roquebanos #bencherney #nickmatthews #LDEntertainment #bleeckerstreetmedia #Regal #regal31screamsonscreen #funhouse #candyman #goodboy #benleonberg #alexcannon #indy
