After the Frame Podcast

Nearly five decades later, Jaws still looms large as one of the most important movies ever made. In this episode, we look back at the film that terrified beachgoers, introduced one of the greatest scores in cinema, and redefined what a blockbuster could be. From Brody, Quint, and Hooper’s unforgettable showdown to the cultural impact that still ripples today, we dig into why Jaws remains a perfect piece of filmmaking.

We’re switching things up this week — instead of reviewing a new release, we’re ranking the entire DC Extended Universe. From the Snyder epics to the infamous misfires, we go film by film and debate what worked, what didn’t, and which DC moments actually deserve to be remembered.

In this episode, we dig into Honey Don’t! — a film that has moments of sharp writing and a couple standout performances, but struggles to balance its tone and stick the landing. We talk about the noir vibes Margaret Qualley brings to her role, the jumble of intersecting storylines, and why the ending feels more rushed than rewarding.

We’re doing something a little different this week — instead of reviewing a single movie, we’re ranking the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. From the top-tier classics to the ones we’d rather forget, we break down where every film lands, what surprised us the most, and which Marvel moments still hold up today. Whether you’re Team Infinity War or still defending Thor: The Dark World, this one’s for you.

This week we’re talking about Weapons, Zach Cregger’s follow-up to Barbarian. A small town is shaken by a shocking disappearance, and the mystery unfolds through shifting perspectives — each more unsettling than the last. We dive into how the film blends creeping dread, sharp bursts of violence, and unexpected humor, and why its unpredictable storytelling kept us guessing right up to the end.

This week we’re talking about Together — a film that throws romance, dark humor, and some of the stickiest body horror we’ve seen into one wild ride. From Alison Brie and Dave Franco’s intense performances to a story that digs into what it feels like when a relationship turns suffocating, we break down why this one had us cringing and laughing at the same time.

This week we dive into Marvel’s first real shot at a Fantastic Four movie that works. We talk through the ’60s setting, the family dinner, Silver Surfer’s warning, Galactus showing up, and that final tease at the end. There’s a lot to like here – great casting, a cool vibe, some amazing music – but also plenty that left us wanting more. It’s a fun ride that just doesn’t slow down long enough to hit those great moments we were hoping for.

In this episode, we dive into the latest chapter of the I Know What You Did Last Summer series — and, honestly, it’s not what we expected. We talk through the messy choices, the creative (but kinda silly) kills, the awkward Gen Z humor, and the wild reveal of who’s really behind the hook. Is it scary? Is it even trying to be? We’ve got thoughts — and a few laughs — about this one.

In this episode, we talk all things Superman (2025) — from its explosive action and standout performances to the moments that had us grinning like kids again. We cover everything: clunky first act, incredible visuals, Krypto stealing scenes, and why this version of Superman just feels right. It’s messy, it’s fun, and it might be exactly what the DC Universe needed to get back on track.

This week we’re talking all about Jurassic World Rebirth — the newest chapter in the iconic dinosaur saga. We walk through the movie’s biggest moments, from creepy lab experiments and mutant dinos to jungle chases and a not-so-epic finale. Does this reboot bring the franchise roaring back, or is it just another forgettable entry? We’ve got thoughts, plenty of them — and some ideas on how they could’ve made it way better.
