About this listen

 Here’s the elevator pitch: It’s “Left, Right, and Center” meets “Siskel and Ebert.” Three friends from different ideological perspectives discuss the movies and controversies (or nontroversies!) swirling around them.

  • Should You See 'Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die'?

    Should You See 'Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die'?
    Feb 25 2026

    On this week’s episode, the gang takes a look at this op-ed from former Sony head Michael Lynton and tries to figure out why Barack Obama suggested Sony was to blame for its own hack back in 2014. Then they review Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die. Is it the anti-AI parable we need right now? Or a mushily meatphored bit of non-AI slop? Make sure to swing by movieaisle.substack.com on Thursday for a bonus episode on the season finale of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. And if you enjoyed this episode, please share it with a friend!

    One last note: we had some mild technical issues while recording the episode this week (internet problems and the such; I blame all that snow out east) so if the conversation is slightly more disjointed than usual, particularly on the video side of things, well, that’s on the tech gods. Just one more reason not to turn the future over to those jokers, amirite?

  • Emerald Fennell's 'Movie' 'About' 'Wuthering Heights'

    Emerald Fennell's 'Movie' 'About' 'Wuthering Heights'
    Feb 18 2026
    Pretty spicy episode this week, as we dive into how much trouble folks should be in simply for emailing associates of Jeffrey Epstein back in 2003. Then we review Emerald Fennell’s new adaptation of Wuthering Heights. Or “adaptation” of “Wuthering Heights,” as the studio insists we refer to it as. Make sure to swing by Thursday for our bonus episode on The Odyssey Book Club! And if you live in Michigan, make sure to check out our guy Jake VK’s movie, which is playing at Cinema Carousel in Muskegon, MI, on February 27 and 28 and March 1. It’ll be fun!

  • 'Send Help' Is Delightful and Mean

    'Send Help' Is Delightful and Mean
    Feb 11 2026
    On this week’s episode, we kicked things off by discussing Michael Schulman’s piece on efforts to use evil for good. (That is: use AI to “recreate” Orson Welles’s cut of The Magnificent Ambersons.) Then we reviewed Send Help, the new one from Sam Raimi. It’s fun and mean and meanly funny. Make sure to swing by Thursday, because we’re going to be talking about drinking and watching movies, two of our favorite things. And if you enjoyed this episode, share it with a friend!
