We are now a month removed from the release of Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil film. Fans of the franchise initially dismissed it due to its lack of an iconic franchise protagonist. Now that the film has been seen by millions, many are already calling it the best video game movie of all time.

In this episode, we discuss if we agree that Resident Evil is the best video game movie ever, what other video game adaptations are in the mix for that title, and whether we believe Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil hold up as a...

Since the rise of superhero films in the 2000s and 2010s, we’ve gotten a lot of different types of superhero movies. We’ve even gotten supervillain movies. But we’ve never had a supervillain horror movie like this one.

DC’s Studios’ Clayface has got to be one of the most surprising releases from a major studio this year. It’s especially surprising when you consider this is just the third film in James Gunn’s newly minted DCU.

Earlier this week, Clayface released to overall positive reactions from fans and critics alik...

Some are calling it a masterpiece while others call it a disaster. Either way, what happened with Digger is a debacle worthy of unpacking.

Was it marketing malpractice? Or simply a flawed movie that never stood a chance to win over critics and audiences? And does its box office performance spell doom for the industry?

In this Digger Deep Dive, we’ll discuss all those questions and many more as we seek to make sense of exactly what happened with this release. Along the way, we’ll share our personal takes on the...

You Can See Everything, the new documentary from Nathan Fielder, Lance Oppenheim, and A24, is unlike anything we’ve ever SEEN (get it?). So, it calls for an episode that is a little different than we’ve ever done.

Billed as a documentary following the final 34 days before Theranos founder and convicted felon Elizabeth Holmes’ 11-year prison sentence is set to begin, it quickly becomes clear there is more here than meets the eye. With so many twists, turns, and gasp-inducing moments, You Can See Everything is far from your typical Nathan Fielder gag.

It’s not an overstatement to say The Social Network is one of the great movies of the 21st century. Not only was it an extremely well-made film thanks to the combined genius of David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin but it also has become more relevant with time as all the great films do.

As such, when it was announced Sorkin would be writing and directing a sequel, it was met with a fair number of furrowed brows. Many questioned if there was a story to tell, how it would be without Fincher, and whether a s...

If you grew up in the 90s like us, chances are you walked by “Tremors” in Blockbuster or Family Video on more than one occasion. The cult classic creature feature starring Kevin Bacon was a 90s cable mainstay and still somehow, none of us had ever seen it.

On this edition of First Watch Friday, we right that wrong and mark Tremors off our watchlist. Is this actually a good horror cult classic? Or just another movie whose clout is enhanced by nostalgia? Join us for this discussion and don’t forget to drop your thought...

Have a seat. It’s time to talk about a movie that took social media by storm as soon as its trailer dropped.

In this week’s episode, we are discussing “Primetime” starring Robert Pattinson as Chris Hansen from Dateline NBC’s “To Catch a Predator.” The film’s marketing touts a career-best performance from Pattinson plus a cast full of underrated actors like Merritt Wever and Skylar Gisondo not to mention the acting debut of Phoebe Bridgers.

In our spoiler-free review, we’ll discuss the performances, whether there is Oscar gold in Pattinson’s...

Kurt Russell. John Carpenter. We saw those two names when looking for our next First Watch Friday pick and didn’t feel the need to look further. The two Hollywood legends collaborate on Big Trouble in Little China. We watched it for the first time and linked up to give our honest takes.

In this review, we’ll discuss the writing, world-building, acting, music, comedy, and so, so much more. If you’ve seen Big Trouble in Little China, be sure to let us know your take down in the comments.

Director Na Hong-Jin (“The Wailing,” “The Chaser”) is back! His new film, “Hope,” premieres in theaters around the US this week, and it is one of the wildest films of 2026. High-speed car chases, massive firefights, irreverent comedy, and monster movie scares all combine in this one-of-a-kind feature, but do they all work together?

In our Hope Review, we take off the guardrails and go deep into what makes this movie work and what works against it. So, beware of spoilers if you haven’t seen the film. And if you have seen Hope, please be sure to drop yo...

3 super soldiers with nothing to lose vs. a military veteran with everything to lose. In A24’s Onslaught, directed by Adam Wingard (V/H/S, You’re Next), Adria Arjona finds herself in the fight of her life to protect her daughter. It’s an action horror film that evokes 1980s slashers and action films, and it comes with a lot of firepower.

In our spoiler-free Onslaught review, we discuss the style, acting, story, and more en route to our final thoughts and scores out of 10. Be sure to give us your take on Onslaught or the...

Much-maligned by critics upon its release, Speed Racer (2008) has found a second life as a cult classic. Is this one of those movies that gets better with age? Or was the initial reception valid?

In this first edition of First Watch Friday, Cam, Kirk, and Stefano break down all their favorite and least favorite aspect of what could be the Wachowskis wackiest film ever. If you are a fan (or hater) of this movie, be sure to drop your thoughts in the comments.

Epic: something monumental, heroic, or grand in scale. This easily describes what millions of people around the world recognize as Homer’s “The Odyssey”. And now, perhaps, also in Christopher Nolan’s latest and most ambitious film project.

Rarely have we seen such an anticipated movie release - IMAX tickets sold out 1 year in advance - nor such discourse surrounding its execution. Can Nolan’s filmmaking successfully tell this Greek Mythological Tale? Or will he be lost at sea on this journey?
