Three Avatar movies in … is the magic already fading?

The Doggett brothers saddle up our banshees and head back to Pandora for Avatar: Fire and Ash. We talk franchise fatigue, recycled villains, shifting character dynamics, and whether the spectacle is still enough to carry these films.

Listen now for a deep dive into the latest James Cameron blockbuster!

Avatar: Fire and Ash is a 2025 science fiction film directed by James Cameron; written by Cameron, Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver. It stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Kate Winslet, Cliff Curtis, Stephen Lang and Oona Chaplin.

Is the latest Knives Out installment a creative whodunit or a trite snooze-fest?

This week, the Doggett brothers face off over Wake Up Dead Man. While Daniel Craig reprises his role as the cheeky Southern detective Benoit Blanc, the brothers can’t agree: is this a brilliant evolution of the whodunit or a tired retread of old tropes?

From the ensemble cast to the final "big reveal," we discuss whether Netflix has another hit on its hands or if the formula is starting to wear thin. Tune in for a heated debate where only one brother can be right.

Wake Up Dead Man is a 2025 mystery film written and directed by Rian Johnson. It stars Daniel Craig, Josh Brolin, Josh O'Connor, Glenn Close, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Thomas Haden Church, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Cailee Spaeny, and Daryl McCormack.

We’re kicking off 2026 by reviewing a movie that stands for all the things we believe in: Justice. Freedom. Improperly Discarded Nuclear Waste.

That’s right, the Doggett brothers are reviewing 2025’s The Toxic Avenger. This re-boot of the cheesy cult classic Troma series has us all feeling some kind of way. It’s corny. It’s self-aware. It’s ridiculous. But is it good?

Listen now to find out if this fifth Toxic Avenger movie is worth a watch, or if you’ll regret soaking up the hour and forty minutes of TV radiation it takes.

The Toxic Avenger is a 2025 dark comedy written and directed by Macon Blair. It stars Peter Dinklage, Elijah Wood, Kevin Bacon, Jacob Tremblay, Julia Davis, Taylour Paige, and Jonny Coyne.

We are not the audience for Netflix Christmas movies… and yet, here we are.

This week’s teaser takes on A Merry Little Ex-Mas, a Hallmark-adjacent holiday rom-com starring Alicia Silverstone. We discuss Netflix’s ongoing Christmas problem, what works surprisingly well, and why so much of this movie makes us physically cringe.

It’s a holiday roast served warm—with a few compliments sprinkled in.

A Merry Little Ex-Mas is a 2025 American Christmas romantic comedy written by Holly Hester and directed by Steve Carr. It stars Alicia Silverstone, Oliver Hudson, Pierson Fodé, Jameela Jamil.

The Running Man: A delightful jog or a grueling marathon?

This week, we discuss whether the latest Stephen King adaptation deserves its impressive 79% Popcornmeter score.

This dystopian action flick has us feeling all sorts of ways, mostly thanks to Glen Powell’s impressive jawline and undeniable charisma.

Some of the Doggett brothers think the movie runs strong until things go off the rails at a certain point (can you guess when?). Others are more willing to forgive what many consider lazy writing and too much plot armor for Powell’s character.

But who comes out on top? Listen now for a deep dive into 2025’s The Running Man!

The Running Man is a 2025 near-future action thriller directed by Edgar Wright and written by Wright and Michael Bacall. It stars Glen Powell, Josh Brolin, William H. Macy, Lee Pace, Michael Cera, Emilia Jones, and Colman Domingo.

A horror movie about football? Put us in, coach!

This week, the Doggett brothers tackle HIM, the Monkeypaw-produced chiller that the studio really wants you to think Jordan Peele directed (newsflash: he didn’t).

We cheer on the stylish filmmaking, argue about the story choices, and ultimately disagree on whether this one scores … or fumbles on the one-yard line.

HIM is a 2025 sports-horror film written by Skip Bronkie, Zack Akers, and Justin Tipping; directed by Justin Tipping. The film stars Marlon Wayans, Tyriq Withers, Julia Fox, Jim Jefferies, and Tim Heidecker.

This week, we’re diving into Shane Black’s newest entry in the action-comedy canon: Play Dirty.

Mark Wahlberg leads a stacked cast in a revenge-fueled adventure that checks all the Shane Black boxes—snappy dialogue, flashy action, and morally questionable heroes. But does it bring anything new to the table? We don’t all agree.

We discuss characters, action sequences, stunts, and much more. But the big question we answer is: How does it compare to Shane Black’s hits, like Kiss Kiss Bang Bang or The Nice Guys? Tune in to hear our verdict.

Play Dirty is a 2025 heist thriller film co-written and directed by Shane Black. It stars Mark Wahlberg, LaKeith Stanfield, Rosa Salazar, Tony Shalhoub, Keegan-Michael Key, Nat Wolff, Chukwudi Iwuji, Gretchen Mol, and Thomas Jane.

As the credits rolled on this movie, we were left with one question: How much did they pay Clive Owen to be in this dumpster fire?

Cleaner is a shameless Die Hard knock-off full of baffling character choices, tonal whiplash, and a plot that only makes sense if you watch the movie half asleep.

In other words, it was a blast to review. We have a lot of fun picking this one apart, so give it a listen, and prepare to laugh yourself silly.

Cleaner is a 2025 British action thriller written by Simon Uttley, Paul Andrew Williams, and Matthew Orto; directed by Martin Campbell. It stars Daisy Ridley, Taz Skylar, and Clive Owen.
