We’re closing out Season 1 the right way — with pure anticipation.

This finale isn’t about reviews, rankings, or breaking down what worked and what didn’t. It’s about excitement. The movies on the horizon that already have me counting down release dates, silencing my phone, and showing up opening weekend.

In this episode, I run through my most anticipated movies of 2026 — from massive franchises and long-awaited sequels to animated adventures, superhero risks, nostalgic returns, and a few projects that just feel right.

🎬 Movies discussed include The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Supergirl, Toy Story 5, The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender, Avengers: Doomsday, and more.

Season 1 has been about rediscovering the joy of movies — and there’s no better way to end it than looking ahead at what’s coming next.

This isn’t about awards, rankings, or what the internet decided was “objectively” the best.
This is my list.

In this episode, I break down my personal Top 10 Movies of 2025 — the films I enjoyed the most, the ones that surprised me, stuck with me, or reminded me why I love movies in the first place.

From superhero swings to animated standouts, action flicks, legacy sequels, and one movie that completely nailed what Superman is supposed to represent — this list reflects my year at the movies, not anyone else’s.

Agree, disagree, be mad, be shocked — that’s part of the fun.

🎬 Featured films include Thunderbolts, Zootopia 2, Captain America: Brave New World, Karate Kid: Legends, and more.

December does something special to movies. Whether it's Elf or The Hunger Games, certain films sneak their way into holiday marathons every single year, even when we're not planning them.

In this episode, we break down why December movie marathons feel so comforting, nostalgic, and natural. From chaotic comedies to Black Christmas magic to winter-coded franchises, this episode is all about the films that make the season feel warm, familiar, and complete.

Grab a blanket and a snack, and let's talk about the movies that make December...December.

This one isn't a full episode - just a quick bonus review because Zootopia 2 finally dropped, and you already know I had to show up for it.

In this short breakdown, I talk about how the sequel expands Zootopia's world, how Nick and Judy grow as characters, the strengths (and small weaknesses) in the story, the standout new characters, and why, predictable villain aside, the movie still completely delivered.

No spoilers. Just vibes, honesty, and my final score.

Full episodes return Thursday, but for now, enjoy this little side dish before the main course.

Thanksgiving hits different — the smells, the noise, the waiting, the food, and the chaos that somehow still feels warm. And right in the middle of all that? Movies. Not planned. Not themed. Not organized. Just the comfort films, specials, and background watches that accidentally become tradition.

In this Thanksgiving Special, we break down:

• A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving — the awkward, honest heart of the holiday

• The “unintentional classics” like Home Alone, Spider-Man, Shrek, and The Incredibles

• The background movies we always end up watching while the food cooks

• Why movies hit completely differently on Thanksgiving

It’s not about the perfect holiday film — it’s about the vibe, the warmth, and the memories tied to whatever ends up playing.

Slow, warm, chaotic in the best way — just like the holiday itself.

Hollywood keeps going back to the reboot well, but not every remake understands why the original mattered.

In Episode 5, we break down the reboots that dropped the ball and lost heart along the way. From Mulan (2020) and The Amazing Spider-Man to Total Recall (2012), Fantastic Four (2015), and The Lion King (2019), this episode digs into where these movies went wrong and why nostalgia alone isn't enough.

If you've ever watched a reboot and though, "Something's off," this one's for you.

New episodes every Thursday.

Most sequels fall apart trying to recreate the magic of the original — bigger budgets, louder action, and none of the heart. But every once in a while, a follow-up comes along that shouldn’t work at all and,somehow, ends up being great.

In this episode, we break down four sequels that defied expectations and elevated their entire franchise:

Spider-Man 2 — emotional weight and iconic storytelling

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish — fear, mortality, and a surprisingly honest core

John Wick: Chapter 2 — sharp world-building and myth-making

The Best Man Holiday — a rare sequel that grows up with its audience

These movies shouldn’t have succeeded, but they did, and they show what happens when a sequel evolves instead of imitates.

What happens when fans refuse to let a story die? From fan-made films and rewrites to reimagined sequels and passionate online edits, fan creators have turned “what if” into entire worlds of their own.

In this episode, I explore how fan projects breathe new life into franchises Hollywood moved on from — proving that love, not budget, keeps storytelling alive.

Topics: Fan-made films, alternate endings, rewrites, passion projects, and the power of creative community.
Theme: When fans stop waiting and start creating.
