  "Spider-Man: Brand New Day"

  Aug 14, 20261h 7m

  Spider-Man: Brand New Day is officially the biggest movie of all time, but does that mean it can shake the doldrums of comic book fatigue and a floundering Marvel Cinematic Universe? Destin Daniel Cretton (Short Term 12, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) aims to bring intimate character drama and street-level fisticuffs back to the Spider-Man franchise for its wildly anticipated fourth entry. Is it successful as a punch in the arm? Tune in and find out.

  "House of the Dragon" Season 3

  Aug 8, 202648 min

  We're back in the land of prestige television with our review of the third season of HBO's House of the Dragon. Just two short episodes before the finale, we check in with Westeros and our differing opinions on this divisive series. Haters, apologist, and ones right down the middle, we discuss the penultimate season's strange structure, its epic bloodletting, and continued palace intrigue. Will it stick the landing? Only time will tell.

  "The Odyssey"

  Jul 30, 20261h 19m

  One of our longest episodes ever in which we review the movie of the summer: Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. We discuss the filmmaker's ongoing battle with his inner clinician, an updated ranking of the filmography, and the odd right-wing backlash facing the movie. Nolan continues from 2023's Oppenheimer his reflection of our own cracked modernity and its broad gesture towards the death of civility, but does The Odyssey maintain its predecessor's craft and evocative core? Tune in and find out.

  "The Furious"

  Jul 17, 202642 min

  Kenji Tanigaki's The Furious took TIFF by storm last year, and now, it's finally here. This week, we review this martial arts extravaganza and discuss its comparisons — justly or unjustly — to The Raid and The Raid 2. However, one thing is for sure: The Furious is one of the best action movies of the last decade, coming close to just reinventing the entire visual language of the action movies we love.

  "Widow's Bay"

  Jul 10, 202641 min

  This week we are reviewing Apple TV's summer sensation, Widow's Bay, a horror comedy set in a "cursed" New England hamlet. Starring Matthew Rhys, Stephen Root, Kate O'Flynn, Dale Dickey, and Kevin Carroll, the series blends dry workplace humor with Stephen King-esque frights. With sea hags, crawlspace clowns, and a desperate mayor's office, Widow's Bay finds its unique brand propelling itself into the number one show on Apple TV. We discuss its bracing first season, its incredible performances, and its unlikely provenance from the mind of a former Parks & Recreation writer.
