  • Episode 216: Crime 101 Review + Good Luck Have Fun Don’t Die | Two of the Year’s Best Genre Films?
    Feb 27 2026

    In this episode, we break down Crime 101 and Good Luck Have Fun Don’t Die, two wildly different films that both deliver in a big way.

    Is Crime 101 the return of the smart, adult crime thriller in the vein of Heat and Sicario? Does it prove there’s still an audience for grounded, tension-driven storytelling?

    Then we dive into Good Luck Have Fun Don’t Die, a high-concept sci-fi ride that feels spiritually aligned with Everything Everywhere All at Once and Palm Springs. Did it stick the landing? And why are audiences connecting so strongly to existential genre stories right now?

    We loved both films but for very different reasons.

    🎬 Full spoilers in the second half of each segment.🎧 Available on all podcast platforms.
