    Feb 11 2026

    2026 is already looking absolutely stacked… and we’re calling our shots early.

    In this episode, we break down the movies we’re most excited for in 2026 — the potential blockbusters, the risky originals, the sequels we’re cautiously optimistic about, and the wildcards that could completely surprise us.

    Which ones are guaranteed hits? Which ones might flop? And which movie is already living rent free in our heads?

    We’re making bold predictions now so you can hold us accountable later.

    If you love the hype cycle, early buzz, and arguing about movies before they even drop — this episode’s for you.

    Tap in and let us know: what’s YOUR most anticipated movie of 2026?

  • The Art House Aftermath
    Feb 4 2026

    A24 used to feel like a guaranteed win. Now? We’re not so sure.

    In this episode of The Art House Aftermath, we ask the uncomfortable questions:

    Has A24 become too artsy for its own good? Are we being hypercritical as audiences? Or are some of these films just straight-up duds that keep getting a pass because they’re labeled “art”?

    We dig into the hype, the hits, the misses, and the movies everyone swears are “brilliant” but never wants to rewatch. No blind praise, no automatic hate — just honest reactions, hot takes, and a little self-reflection on whether the problem is the studio… or us.

    If you’ve ever walked out of an A24 movie thinking “Did I miss something?” — this one’s for you.A24 used to feel like a guaranteed win. Now? We’re not so sure.

  • The Upside Downer
    Jan 7 2026

    In this episode, we dive headfirst into the Stranger Things finale and leave no stone unturned. From the moments that gave us chills to the choices that left us scratching our heads, we break down what worked, what didn’t, and everything in the nitty-gritty in between.

    We unpack the biggest character arcs, the emotional payoffs, unanswered questions, and the risks the show took in closing out the story. Did the ending live up to the hype? Were the stakes earned? And what will fans be debating for years to come?

    Whether you loved the finale, hated it, or are still processing it, this episode is a spoiler-filled deep dive made for die-hard fans who aren’t afraid to dissect every detail of the Upside Down.
