About this listen

In this episode of A Reel Pain, the generational tables turn. A Gen Z pick forces a millennial first-time watch as the crew dives into Death of a Unicorn—a dark, uncomfortable, and wildly polarizing film that sparks instant debate.

What starts as a fresh Gen Z recommendation quickly becomes a clash of expectations, nostalgia, and modern filmmaking sensibilities. From brutal tonal shifts and uncomfortable themes to standout performances and frustrating character choices, the hosts break down what worked, what didn’t, and whether this movie actually earns its reputation.

As always, initial ratings are locked in early, favorite and least favorite scenes are dissected, and no one pulls punches trying to defend their take. Does Death of a Unicorn reward its ambition, or does it collapse under it? And more importantly—does this Gen Z pick hold up for a millennial watching it for the very first time?

🎬 A Reel Pain is the movie debate podcast where generational nostalgia meets fresh perspective—and not everyone leaves happy.
