THE LAST WATCH SKIP PLUS EPISODE OF SEASON THREE AND OF 2025! 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". Is Fuller’s creative brilliance (one that has seen him leaving many a high profile project) perfect for this kind of film, or like his imagination, is there just too much going on to be fully successful? Don’t step on the floor, make a wish, and swallow the new Watch Skip Plus WHOLE!*Please spread the word and subscribe on Spotify and YouTube…we want to be THE movie review destination for you all in 2026!!!!

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. But ultimately is this second chapter worthy of the hype (and a possible bridge to a threequel?) or will it make anyone unfamiliar with the source material go running screaming in the other direction?GRAB YOUR FLASHLIGHT AND MARIONETTE STRINGS…LET’S HEAR YOU SCREAM FOR THE NEW WATCH SKIP PLUS!TIMESTAMPS00:00 Opening01:43 Intro03:48 Five Nights At Freddy's 2: Below and Above the Line15:04 Spoiler Free Thoughts30:36 FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S 2 SPOILED43:45 Outro- - - - - - - - - -WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS! FOLLOW/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE/REVIEW/LOVEEmail us: WatchSkipPlus@gmail.com#fnaf2 #fivenightsatfreddys2 #emmatammi #joshhutcherson #elisabethlail #piperrubio #matthewlillard #skeetulrich #mckennagrace #teobriones #wayneknight #freddycarter #newtonbrothers #lynmoncrief #blumhouse #universal #scottcawthonproductions #mindhivefilms

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

FROM YOUTUBE TO INDIE FILMMAKER…SHELBY OAKS IS HERE, BUT DOES IT HERALD A POTENTIAL NEW FILMIC VOICE OR WERE MISTAKES MADE?!?!?!Stop me if you’ve heard this one:  An ex-Jehovah’s Witness, pansexual, YouTube movie reviewer/influencer decides to make a movie…. 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. (Editor’s Note: Cupcake always takes a shit on one major thing every movie.)                    DISCOVER THE SECRET OF SHELBY OAKS WITH WATCH SKIP PLUS!As Spooky Season comes to a close, Jose plus’s a local Maryland behemoth Haunted House installation “Legends of the Fog” and the “Dismember The Alamo” horror film marathon.

SCREEN THAT CALL FROM BEYOND…THE GRABBER IS BACK IN BLACK PHONE 2!Blumhouse pictures looks to break its poo-poo streak (Exorcist:Believer, The Wolf Man, M3G4N 2.0, The Woman in the Yard, Drop) with Black Phone 2, the sequel to the wildly successful first film. 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.

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.

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.

HEAVY STEPHEN KING NOVEL HITS THE SCREEN…BUT DOES IT HAVE LEGS?A 1979 Stephen King novel got a big screen adaptation, and Watch Skip Plus gives you its singular critique and analysis in a brand new episode. WillDaBeast and Cupcake take on the Francis Lawrence directed - JT Mollner written book to screen thriller with a simple premise: Young men compete in a “long walk” where the last man standing wins a wish and untold millions. The catch? Keep walking or die. Starring a crop of mega-talented new faces such as Cooper Hoffman, David Jonsson, and Charlie Plummer and supported by veteran actors like Skywalker himself Mark Hammil and Judy Greer, will audiences take to this polarizing, feel-bad allegory about the power of the human spirit and its all too instinctual trappings or will the week’s events leading up to the film’s release (an assasination and a school shooting in ONE day; King himself nearly getting cancelled over a tweet) take out the film’s kneecaps at the box office?           PINCH ONE OFF AND WALK ON UP TO WATCH SKIP PLUS!For Plusses, the Boyz each review new streaming films to enjoy in the sanctity of your homes: Mike caught “Friendship” starring Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd while Cupcake threw $10 at a VOD indie rental: “She Rides Shotgun” starring Taron Edgerton and featuring a powerhouse performance from young Ana Sophia Heger.  TIMESTAMPS00:00 Teaser02:19 Intro03:42 Long Walk: Below the Line / The Crew20:11 Long Walk: Above the Line / The Cast33:15 Spoiler Free Thoughts  54:42 SPOILERS AHEAD01:17:31 Mike's Plus01:22:42 Jose's Plus01:29:31 Outro- - - - - - - - - -WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS! FOLLOW/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE/REVIEW/LOVEEmail us: WatchSkipPlus@gmail.com#StephenKing #TheLongWalk #FrancisLawrence #JTMollner #CooperHoffman #DavidJonsson #GarrettWareing #tutnyuot #charlieeplummer #benwang #joshuaodjick #markhamill #judygreer #joshhamilton #jowillems #jeremiahfraites #lionsgate #vertigoentertainment #aboutblank #friendship #timrobinson #paulrudd #andrewdeyoung #a24 #sheridesshotgun #taronegerton #anasophiaheger #nickrowland #waypointentertainment

COME ASHORE FOR THE NEW WATCH SKIP PLUS!Cupcake all but ordered WillDaBeast to see the new Ron Howard film solely because advanced word had Jude Law doing a “one for the history books” full frontal nude scene. And so it is: this week the Boyz review Ron Howard’s historically based, “Survivor”-esque 1930’s period drama “Eden” starring Law, Vanessa Kirby, Daniel Bruehl (BARON ZEMO!), current controversial it-girl Sydney Sweeney, and Ana De Armas. Aside from the obvious visual DELIGHTS (warning: lots of breasts, penis, butt, and pregnancy talk/jokes), is this a return to prestige engrossing filmmaking from Howard or is “Eden” setting itself up to run afoul of potential multiple Razzie nominations (yes, at least one host thinks this is absolute dreck)?    FIND PARADISE WITH OUR NEW EPISODE!Stick around for the PLUS:  Mike reviews “Night of the Zoopocalypse”, an animated film based on a short story by….wait for it…..CLIVE BARKER (think “Zootopia” meets Alien meets “Paranorman”); Jose takes on the new horror comedy “Clown in a Cornfield” from the director of “Tucker & Dale vs. Evil”. TIMESTAMPS00:00 Teaser01:15 Intro05:56 Eden: Below the Line / Production17:35 Eden: Above the Line / Cast26:31 Background / Spoiler Free Thoughts49:40 SPOILERS ahead01:07:30 Mike's Plus01:12:30 Jose's Plus01:18:37 Outro- - - - - - - - - -WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS! FOLLOW/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE/REVIEW/LOVEEmail us: WatchSkipPlus@gmail.com#eden #ronhoward #judelaw #anadearmas #vanessakirby #danielbruhl #sydneysweeney #felixkammerer #tobywallace #richardroxburgh #noahpink #mathiasherndl #hanszimmer #briangrazer #AGCstudios #imagineentertainment #fortecorppictures #medanpictures #nightofthezoopocalypse #ricardocurtis #rodrigoperezcastro #clivebarker #davidharbour #clowninacornfield #elicraig #katiedouglas #aaronabrams #carsonmaccormac #willsasso #kevindurand #vincentmuller

Cupcake’s favorite action filmmakers 87North (David Leitch and Kelly McCormack’s production company) return with “Nobody 2” starring Bob Odenkirk, Connie Nielson, Sharon Stone, RZA, John Ortiz, Christopher Lloyd, and Daniel Bernhardt. 87North might be having the same kind of year as BlumHouse with lackluster audience reception to previous releases Love Hurts and Ballerina. Will this action comedy sequel directed by Indo-Asian action filmmaker Timo Tjahjanto in his US debut break the bad streak? And what will WillDaBeast and Cupcake think about this second go around with Hutch and his family vacation ruined by a run-in with a female girl-boss gangster?

COME TOGETHER!!!! … OVER WATCH SKIP PLUS!!!!! *Links in bio - please check out our video episodes on Spotify and YouTubeWS+ takes a break from blockbusters…or rather superheroes…and takes on another type of “busting” with the indie body horror “Together”. Savvy listeners will remember Mike reviewing this for the Annual Sundance Episode where the film, its director Michael Shanks and leads Dave Franco and Alison Brie caused a bit of much-talked-about sensation (we just won’t talk about the plagiarism lawsuit…OK, we mentioned it!). In a year full of visceral horror that mines themes of isolation versus connection and trauma, is this Cronenbergian metaphor for co-dependency viz a viz body melting, penile trauma, and uh, mildew a certified hit or gooey nonsense? Check out the full episode to see which one of us actually changes their rating by the end of the discussion. Jose’s plus is the incredible Evercool Cooling comforter by Rest which purports to put an end to your hot sleepless nights while Mike reviews the film originally slated for this week’s episode….The Naked Gun requel with Liam Neeson and Jose’s hero: Pamela Anderson.GET INSIDE US!!!! TIMESTAMPS00:00 Intro05:18 Below the Line: The Production Crew10:21 Above the Line: The Cast17:01 Spoiler Free Thoughts32:49 SPOILERS AHEAD01:03:51 Jose's Plus01:06:49 Mike's Plus01:15:55 OUTRO- - - - - - - - - -WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS! FOLLOW/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE/REVIEW/LOVEEmail us: WatchSkipPlus@gmail.com#Together #michaelshanks #davefranco #alisonbrie #damonherriman #cornelwilczek #germainmcmicking #121 #30west #picturestart #princesspictures #tangoentertainment #neon #risevisualefffects #rest #evercoolcoolingcomforter #thenakedgun #liamneeson #pamelaanderson

WARNING: Explicit language, ribald jokes, and biting commentary ensue.Episode 134: The Fantastic Four: First StepsFFinally!!! As the BO for the new Marvel film craters...our new episode is up (after tech snafus!) *Links in bio - please check out our video episodes on Spotify and YouTubeThe Boyz bring back Sam U. Rai from the Gentleman’s Guide to Midnite Cinema to discuss yet another SUPERHERO film: the eagerly awaited The Fantastic Four: First Steps. The MCU is still floundering of late, far from its billion dollar a movie hey day. The ingredients are all there: Visionary director (Matt Shakman who created WandaVision), incredible cast (Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Barach, and Joseph Quinn), a retro-futuristic look, key Marvel characters (Galactus, Silver Surfer, Mole Man). Will this restore the MCU to greatness and finally herald a true vision of Marvel’s first family or is it more Kevin Feige-trickery and just a placeholder for the next (Doomsday) movie? Strap in for an image-less, plus-less, two hourlong, no-holds-barred discussion that critiques the film and the state of the MCU.
