    Take 235: Jackass In Review

    Mostly Film – Take 235: Jackass In Review Twenty-five years of stupidity, brotherhood, and somehow nobody died. Jonathan and JP dig into the full Jackass franchise — all four films — just in time for Jackass: Best and Last hitting theaters THIS Friday. In the spirit of the occasion, the guys trace the franchise from its scrappy MTV origins (Senator Joe Lieberman tried to kill it, which only made it stronger) through to its unlikely status as one of Paramount's most consistent box office performers. From a $5M debut that made its budget back four times over opening weekend to Jackass 3D quietly becoming the biggest fall opening of 2010 — this franchise has absolutely no business being as successful as it is. They break down all four films: the raw, censorship-free chaos of The Movie, the widely-beloved Number Two (the best cold open in comedy history, full stop), the commercial and creative peak of 3D, and the emotionally complicated comeback of Forever — including the Bam Margera situation, the new generation of cast members, and Knoxville's final bull stunt that reportedly ended his ability to take hits to the head forever. Plus: franchise rankings, all-time favorite stunts, and the question nobody expected a Jackass episode to ask — what does 25 years of shared pain actually say about male friendship? Jackass: Best and Last opens Friday. Are you going?

    Take 234: Klara and the Sun, Shrek 5, & Movie Nostalgia

    Jonathan and JP are back with another packed week of trailer verdicts, screen time nostalgia, and the kind of movie news that makes you question everything. First up, List It or Nix It — the guys put Hot Spot, Klara and the Sun, Shrek 5, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Dinosaurs of the Wild West, Hexed, and Time of Death through the Letterboxd test. Some earn a spot. Some don't make it out alive. Then it's What We've Been Watching. Jonathan's been in the jungle with Jumanji, getting morally complicated with Red Rocket, and going full '80s nostalgia with Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. JP went deep with 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple and swung back to the high seas with Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl. And then there's The News. Toy Story 5 just had one of the biggest animated opening weekends in history — is Pixar officially back? Disclosure Day stumbles in week two. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is already breaking presale records but has to compete with Nolan for premium screens. The week's wildest story: Luca Guadagnino's nearly-finished film about Sam Altman gets dropped by Amazon — right after their $50 billion OpenAI deal. Totally unrelated, we're sure. Plus: Supergirl early buzz, a new Keanu Reeves Lego movie, Dan Trachtenberg doing kids' horror (yes, really), Austin Powers 4 is happening, and Emmy nominations are officially locked in.

    Take 233: E.T. & Disclosure Day - Spielberg In Review

    Mostly Film This week, Jonathan and J.P. continue their Spielberg Series by exploring two films separated by more than four decades but connected by a lifelong fascination with the unknown: E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) and Disclosure Day (2026). From one of the most beloved family films ever made to Spielberg's latest return to extraterrestrial storytelling, we're examining how the director's perspective on aliens, humanity, and wonder has evolved over nearly fifty years. We dive into the deeply personal heart of E.T., discussing childhood loneliness, empathy, friendship, and why the film remains one of the most emotionally resonant blockbusters ever created. Then we turn to Disclosure Day, a modern sci-fi epic that tackles truth, secrecy, first contact, and humanity's place in a much larger universe. Along the way, we compare Spielberg's approach to fear and wonder across generations, rank his alien films, and ask whether Disclosure Day serves as the final chapter in a story Spielberg has been telling since Close Encounters of the Third Kind. From bicycles flying across the moon to a world forced to confront the impossible, this episode is all about Spielberg's enduring belief that understanding begins when we're willing to reach out—and listen.

    This week on Mostly Film, we're sorting through a fresh batch of trailers in LIST IT or NIX IT, including The Last House, Gatto, Heart of the Beast, Social Reckoning, I Want Your Sex, and Whalefall. Which ones earn a spot on the Letterboxd watchlist, and which ones get left behind? In What We've Been Watching, Jonathan checks out everything from Masters of the Universe and In the Grey to a nostalgic return to Spy Kids and Spy Kids 2, while JP revisits a pair of beloved franchises with Raiders of the Lost Ark and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Plus, we break down a packed week of movie news, including Chris Evans' reported return in Avengers: Secret Wars, new details on The Batman: Part II, George Miller's plans for more Mad Max, a Hit Man series coming to Netflix, a surprise Fox-Roku merger, and Steven Spielberg's record-breaking success with Disclosure Day. We also discuss honorary Oscars for Ridley Scott and Glenn Close, a possible Jimmy Olsen and Gorilla Grodd series, and why Jesse Eisenberg turned down The Social Reckoning. All that and more on another episode of Mostly Film—where the takes are hot, the watchlists are growing, and the movie news never stops.

    Take 231: Jaws & Jurassic Park - Spielberg In Review

    Mostly Film This week, Jonathan and J.P. continue their Spielberg Series by diving into two of the most influential films ever made: Jaws (1975) and Jurassic Park (1993). One invented the modern blockbuster, the other redefined it for a new generation. Together, they showcase Steven Spielberg's unmatched ability to blend suspense, spectacle, fear, and wonder into unforgettable cinematic experiences. We explore the making of both films, from the infamous production troubles that shaped Jaws to the groundbreaking visual effects revolution of Jurassic Park. Along the way, we discuss iconic scenes, legendary performances, John Williams' unforgettable scores, themes of human arrogance versus nature, and the moments that transformed movie history. Plus, we debate which film is better, which monster is more iconic, which score reigns supreme, and whether these two films represent Spielberg at his absolute best. Jaws taught audiences to fear what they couldn't see. Jurassic Park taught them to believe the impossible. This week, we're asking which one stands tallest in Spielberg's legendary filmography.

We explore a pivotal era in Spielberg’s career, from the haunting moral responsibility at the heart of Schindler’s List to the visceral realism and sacrifice depicted in Saving Private Ryan.

We also compare the two films as companion pieces—one focused on survival and memory, the other on duty and sacrifice—and ask which best represents Spielberg at the height of his powers. Join us for a deep dive into two cinematic landmarks and the lasting questions they leave behind. 🎬
