🎬 Mostly Film

This week the crew dives headfirst into a loaded lineup of trailers, thrillers, and industry shake-ups.

LIST IT or NIX IT
Would we add it to the Letterboxd watchlist or leave it in the dust? We break down new trailers for Anaconda, Greenland 2, The Mandalorian and Grogu, The Astronaut, The Bride, Violent Ends, Wolves, ZERO AD, and more. Expect strong opinions, side tangents, and at least one heated debate about snakes.

What We’ve Been Watching
Jonathan’s been on a run with 2025 releases (Splitsville, Elio, Simple Plan: Kids in the Crowd) and a full-on Muppet marathon (Haunted Mansion, Treasure Island, A Christmas Carol). He also tackled a stack of ‘70s & ‘80s thrillers (Mississippi Burning, The Conversation, Chinatown, All the President’s Men) and gave us his Paul Thomas Anderson power rankings (There Will Be Blood, The Master, Licorice Pizza, and more).
JP kept pace with Splitsville and Superman, then worked through his own set of ‘70s thrillers (Klute, Night Moves, The Anderson Tapes). He rounded it out with a deep-dive on Paul Thomas Anderson’s catalog and new TV favorites like Peacemaker, Slow Horses, and The Lowdown.
