This week on The Reel Rundown, Bruno and Pedro dig into two of the most talked-about titles in film and TV right now: Netflix’s The Rip and HBO’s upcoming Game of Thrones prequel, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.

The conversation kicks off with a quick look at how AI tools are reshaping content creation for podcasters and creatives, before shifting into a packed week at the movies — including reactions to Marty Supreme, the brutal sequel Bone Temple, and the Brazilian political thriller The Secret Agent.

Bruno and Pedro then zero in on The Rip, sharing honest first impressions and why the film didn’t quite land despite its high-profile cast. They wrap with expectations and cautious optimism around A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, discussing what it could mean for the future of the Game of Thrones universe.

In this episode, Bruno Silva and Pedro bounce from awards season fatigue to one of the most anxiety-inducing TV premieres in recent memory. They unpack A24’s renewed partnership with HBO Max and what it says about film distribution today, debate whether the Golden Globes still matter, and reflect on why so many great films slip through the awards conversation.

The conversation then shifts to the season 2 premiere of The Pitt, a real-time ER drama that caught Pedro off guard and had both hosts feeling the stress. From character arcs and new introductions to the clever Fourth of July setting, Bruno and Pedro break down why the show works, how it builds tension, and what makes its storytelling so emotionally effective.

A wide-ranging episode about cinema, prestige TV, and the stories that still manage to grab us when the noise fades.
