We Recommend: A Movie Podcast

Send us some fan mail! A fake kidnapping shouldn’t draw blood, but that’s exactly why Game Night hits so hard—and why we had a blast unpacking it. We jump into the film’s quicksilver humor, then follow the trail of red herrings, real danger, and one very weird neighbor who somehow steals the entire show with a pressed uniform and a dog named Bastion. If you love tight writing, visual wit, and comedies that actually stick the landing, you’ll get a lot from this one. Hit play, then tell us you...

Send us some fan mail! A demon boy band steals hearts and souls, a trio of idol hunters skydive into a stadium, and somewhere between glitter and fire we ask the big question: why did a record-smashing hit feel “perfectly fine” to one of us and magical to the other? We dig into K-pop Demon Hunters with a clear lens: where the film’s bright worldbuilding and family-friendly humor soar, and where the emotions don’t quite crest for adult viewers. From that killer plane cold open to the bathhouse...

Send us some fan mail! What if the funniest scenes in a movie feel like your worst social nightmares? We dive into “Friendship,” a Tim Robinson-led dramedy that turns adult loneliness, neediness, and status anxiety into a ride that’s equal parts laugh-out-loud and curl-your-toes tense. From a sewer “adventure” gone wrong to the guys’ night boxing fiasco and a toad trip that ends at Subway, we unpack why the film’s chaos feels personal—and why it works. If this breakdown made you laugh, wince...

Send us some fan mail! Sorry its late! A joyful song, a missing girl, and a village that never stops smiling—until the flames rise. We head to Summerisle for a spirited, scene-by-scene dive into The Wicker Man, exploring how folk ritual, music, and community turn a simple investigation into a study of belief and power. We talk first impressions, why the soundtrack feels playful instead of ominous, and how that choice keeps the horror at bay until the final minutes. Then we walk the full arc: ...

Send us some fan mail! Start with a bottle on a bridge, end with a symbol carved into fate. We took The Empty Man for what it is—a detective story that slowly dissolves into cosmic horror—and followed it down every corridor of cult logic, black posters, and whispered rules. From the Bhutan prologue’s bone-fingered relic to a Missouri that feels half-remembered, we map how urban legend ritual becomes a thought virus and how a doomsday movement turns philosophy into a weapon. We talk performan...

Send us some fan mail! This week's bonus episode we are covering Joe Swanberg's segment in V/H/S. More bad boys.

Send us some fan mail! A mother who builds perfect little worlds. A family that can’t speak plainly without tearing open wounds. A coven that’s been patient for decades. Hereditary still gnaws at us because it splices private pain with public ritual—and then shows how both feed on silence. We unpack why the movie’s most terrifying sequences aren’t the skittering on the walls but the moments at the table, in the car, and in the bedroom when stress thickens the air. Toni Collette’s ferocity and...
