  1. Episode 168: HOKUM spoiler free

    Episode 168: HOKUM spoiler free

    Hokum Review | Caveat & Oddity Director Damian McCarthy Swings Big with Adam Scott Irish folklore horror is having a moment — and Hokum (2026), the latest from writer-director Damian McCarthy (Caveat, Oddity), might be its most ambitious entry yet. Adam Scott (Severance, Parks and Rec, Krampus, Step Brothers) plays an author so deeply unlikable you'll be rooting against him, but McCarthy keeps pulling you into his strange, slow-burning world anyway. Think The Shining, 1408, What Lies Beneath, and Creepshow blended with ancient Irish mythology and a very weird goat. Austin Amelio (The Walking Dead) also appears in a memorable supporting role. Cupcake crushes on this sexy dude. Jose (Cupcake) and Mike (WillDaBeast) debate whether McCarthy's supernatural stew holds together and whether this completes what just might be an Irish folklore horror trilogy. Verdicts incoming. Spoilers? Save those for Sunday's SPOILER'D episode. - - - - - - - - - - WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS! FOLLOW/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE/REVIEW/LOVE Email us: WatchSkipPlus@gmail.com Be kind. Be open. Be vulnerable.

    167B: SPOILER'D Mother Mary (2026)

    Mother Mary SPOILER'D | Ending Explained, The Red Spectre & Why It's The Best A24 Film of 2025 Full spoilers for Mother Mary (2025), A24's gothic psychological drama from director David Lowery, starring Anne Hathaway and Michaela Coel. Jose and Mike go deep on the entire film — the true meaning behind the Mother Mary / Joan of Arc persona, the red satin spectre and what it symbolizes, the FKA Twigs seance sequence, and the breathtaking final image that brings it all home. If Possession, Black Swan, The Babadook, or Bram Stoker's Dracula hit for you, this film belongs in that conversation: It's a story about creative partnership, female friendship, betrayal, and the unresolved trauma that lives in the space between two people who were once everything  to each other. - - - - - - - - - - WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS!

    Episode 167: Mother Mary

    We Saw Mother Mary and Oh My God — Spoiler-Free Review We were supposed to review another film this week, one that also featured a pop star with a title starting with "M". Then A24 dropped Mother Mary — and honestly? Best pivot we've ever made! David Lowery's Mother Mary stars Anne Hathaway as a pop star on the cusp of her comeback, pulled back into the orbit of her estranged best friend and former costume designer, played by Michaela Coel. What sounds like a celebrity drama slowly reveals itself as something far more raw, strange, and beautiful. If you loved Black Swan, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, or anything in A24's weirder corner of their catalog, this one is for you. Jose and Mike share their spoiler-free takes with just genuine enthusiasm and a whole lot of feelings about Anne Hathaway, Michaela Coel, the music (by FKA Twigs, Charli XCX, and Jack Antonoff, and that FKA Twigs sequence. Verdicts are in, and let's just say we didn't leave disappointed. - - - - - - - - - - WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS! FOLLOW/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE/REVIEW/LOVE Email us: WatchSkipPlus@gmail.com Be kind. Be open.

    166b: SPOILER'D Normal / Lee Cronin's The Mummy

    SPOILER'D: Bob Odenkirk Fights a Town & Lee Cronin Fights His Own Script No spoiler-free zone here — we're going all the way in. Jose and Mike break down two of 2026's most surprising genre entries back to back. First up: Ben Wheatley's Normal, where Bob Odenkirk rolls into a small town as an interim sheriff and slowly realizes every single person around him is armed, paid off, and protecting a Yakuza treasure vault. We talk about what makes this feel like a grounded, gorier version of Nobody and how Wheatley's genre-blending sensibility makes Normal feel like the neo-noir Western we didn't know we needed. Then we pivot to Lee Cronin's The Mummy, the divisive body horror family drama that's also an exorcism film that's also a Sam Raimi Evil Dead riff that's also a revenge movie. We love Cronin, and there's real craft here, but we dig into why the film's identity crisis keeps it from landing as hard as it could. From the Nazmaranian demon mythology to the dentures scene to that wild epilogue, nothing is off limits. GET INTO OUR NEW SPOILER'D BREAKDOWN! - - - - - - - - - - WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS!

    Episode 166: NORMAL / LEE CRONIN'S THE MUMMY

    Normal & The Mummy: A Double Feature Worth Your Time (Spoiler-Free) | WatchSkip+ Cupcake and Mike are doing something a little different this week — a genuine double feature review, clocking in under 30 minutes. First, they dig into Normal (2025), the new Ben Wheatley action-comedy written by Derek Kolstad and Bob Odenkirk. Is it just Nobody again? Not even close — and the guys break down why this deeply weird, gory, surprisingly soulful film deserves your attention in theaters right now. Then they turn to Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2025), the Blumhouse/Atomic Monster horror that has the internet divided. Jack Reynor leads a cast through something that plays less like a classic mummy tale and more like a psychological body horror spiral in the vein of Evil Dead Rise and Pet Sematary. Both hosts have verdicts. Neither one will spoil a thing — that's what Sunday's SPOILER'D episode is for. - - - - - - - - - - WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS!

    165b: SPOILER'D Faces of Death (2026)

    SPOILER'D: Faces of Death (2025) — Copycat Killers, Train Girls & the Internet as Monster Full spoilers, full chaos. Jose, Mike, and guest Brian from Lucky Find Comics break down every gruesome detail of IFC/Shudder's Faces of Death remake — from Dacre Montgomery's twitchy, OCD-informed performance to the question of whether that final girl ending earns the whole messy ride. They dig into the movie's fascinating meta premise (a killer remaking the original death tapes), the De Palma split screen that should've happened more, the Don't F**k With Cats second act that genuinely works, and the bumbling cops that nearly tank the third. Brian brings his true crime psychology lens to the villain's motivation, and the crew debates whether Margot's haunting final upload is a victory or the beginning of something darker. Also on the table: the Exorcist taxi shot, the Charli XCX cameo, the lipstick knife backstory nobody asked for but Brian delivered anyway, and the Shudder franchise potential that could make this the next VHS.

    Is the Faces of Death Reimagining Worth It? Spoiler Free w/ Guest Brian Jose, Mike, and returning guest Brian from Luck Key Finds Comics take on the 2025 reimagining of Faces of Death, itself the notorious 1978 Mondo cult film that everyone whispered about but nobody's parents would let them watch. Directors Daniel Goldhaber and Isa Mazzei (Cam, How to Blow Up a Pipeline) modernize the concept in a big way, and the result is... complicated. We break down the cast (Dacre Montgomery (Stranger Things), Barbie Ferreira (Euphoria), Josie Tota, Jermaine Fowler, and Charli XCX), the Shudder/IFC acquisition, and whether the third act holds up or falls apart. Three opinions. No spoilers. Come back for the SPOILER'D breakdown to find out why it’s a clever reboot but maybe not entirely successful. - - - - - - - - - - WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS!
