Keeping with tradition, we follow up our best of 2025 episode with its natural companion: our episode on the most anticipated films of 2026. After an odd 2025 where many of our most exciting picks turned out to fall short of expectations, we can only... more
Hot off a placement of 28 Years Later on all of our 2025 top ten lists last week, its sequel — The Bone Temple — has quite large shoes to fill. Can Nia Dacosta capture the same humanist magic of one of last year's best movies? We discuss the villaino... more

New fan converted from the Avatar episode, great hosts and insightful discussions!
Great episode as usual counting down top tens. Movies I’ve never heard of that I will for sure check out (Life After Fighting, Caught By the Tides, Red Rooms, Cloud, Hard Truths, La Chimera). Well worth the hour and a half listen!
Just found this today and have listened to several episodes. Great commentary and observations. Only complaint - choppy editing. It seems that pauses are removed and then cut together too closely.
As a neophyte film enjoyer, a friend of mine recommended this podcast to me and I couldn’t be happier. Great reviews of major blockbusters and smaller movies I’ve never heard of alike. Jeff, Derek, and Amir have really broadened my horizons when it comes to watching new things, and I find their analysis to be insightful. Loved the Nosferatu episode, even if they didn’t love the movie. Great stuff!
Sharp talks about movies. Appointment listen for me on my way to work every week.
