This week, we’re getting a little soft (in the best way) and talking about two quietly life-affirming gems from last year: Train Dreams (Netflix) and The Life of Chuck (Hulu).

We kick things off with a spoiler-free check-in on Primate (2026), a new creature feature that definitely has people talking (0:07).

Then, we talk about the vibe that is Train Dreams (08:02), before finally getting into Mike Flanagan’s masterpiece, The Life of Chuck (35:36).

We tease next week’s episode at the end if you listen to those things (01:59:33).

This week, we’re diving into Bugonia (Peacock), the latest mind-bender from Yorgos Lanthimos and a serious Oscar contender.

Before that, we kick things off with our reactions to the Golden Globes winners (0:07)— the surprises, the snubs, and the wins that actually made sense. Awards season chaos is officially in full swing!

Finally, we get into Bugonia (21:19), where Jesse Plemons + Emma Stone are doing that thing again and we have thoughts on how weird, funny, and unsettling this one gets.

We tease next week’s episode at the end if you listen to those things (01:31:33).

We’re back for 2026!

This week, we’re diving into One Battle After Another (HBO Max), Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest starring Leo DiCaprio.

Before that, we kick things off by defending the Stranger Things series finale (0:07). The internet loves to overreact, so we put things into perspective by revisiting some truly awful TV finales.

Finally, we get into One Battle After Another (33:21) — this one has big Oscar energy and we’re breaking down what works, what hits hard, and why it might go all the way on awards night.

We tease next week’s episode at the end if you listen to those things (01:38:27).
