Description
Movie Joust! is a movie podcast where critics with clashing tastes challenge hype, legacy, and consensus — forcing films to earn their reputation.
Each week, Atlanta film critics debate new releases, awards contenders, and cultural flashpoints in cinema, putting “prestige,” popularity, and critical buzz under pressure. From legacy filmmakers to divisive adaptations, Movie Joust! isn’t about polite agreement — it’s about sharp takes, real disagreement, and figuring out who movies are actually for.
If you’re tired of plot recaps and safe opinions, welcome to the fight.

It's a jam-packed episode this week, as Jason, Jesse, and Josh joust over the merits of "Digger," Alejandro González Iñárritu's satirical comedy starring Tom Cruise. Then, the guys catch up with the Robert Pattinson starring "Primetime," about the series "To Catch a Predator," and Jason gives his reactions to the latest Colleen Hoover adaptation, "Verity".
This week, the guys enthusiastically talk about Zach Cregger's adaptation of the beloved horror game "Resident Evil," then they break down another new release, this time featuring Ethan Hawke and Russell Crowe. Hear why this adventure film calls to mind classics such as "Sorcerer" and "Treasure of the Sierra Madre."
Jesse and Josh run through multiple movies currently out. First, Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock reunite in "Practical Magic 2" then a South Korean monster movie with some real high highs and real low lows, and finally, the Gal Gadot Amazon thriller that is going viral for all the wrong reasons.
Remember the Mumblecore movement of the early 2010s? This week, we're discussing new movies from two of the movement's notable filmmakers; Joe Swanberg and Adam Winguard. Plus, a discussion on if horror movies need to be "about something" or if the "elevated horror" trend has thrown off our expectations for genre entertainment.
We're at the final days of summer movie season. And that means it's a grab bag of choices, from the Gen-Z indie-horror flick "It Ends," to the post-apocalyptic world of "The Dog Stars," and even the Looney Tunes flick "Coyote vs. Acme."
