    Avatar: Fire and Ash with Justine Bijou

    Send us a text This week on the podcast, me and Brandon are joined by special guest Justine Bijou, Twitch streamer and all-around pop culture nerd, to break down Avatar: Fire and Ash. We dive into what worked, what didn’t, and how it stacks up against the rest of the Avatar universe. We also branch out into quick-hit conversations on some of our favorite (and not-so-favorite) shows, including Plurobis, Stranger Things, I Love LA, and Fall Out. Plus, we give rapid-fire reviews of The Housemaid and Ella McCay, keeping things spoiler-light but honest. To wrap things up, we play a fun round of Guess the Movie, where I list several movies based on video games—and Brandon and Justine have to figure out what movie I’m talking about. Expect laughs, debates, and plenty of movie talk from start to finish. 🎬🎮

    The Running Man and Now You See Me, Now You Don't

    Send us a text In this episode, we dive into two wildly different but equally entertaining films. First up: The Running Man, the neon-soaked dystopian action flick that pits Glenn Powell against a deadly game show long before reality TV took over the world. Then we switch gears to the slick, twist-heavy world of Now You See Him, Now You Don’t, breaking down the tricks, turns, and cinematic sleight of hand that keep the story—and us—on our toes. But that’s not all. We wrap things up with a draft of the best Stephen King movie adaptations, battling it out to build the strongest roster of King’s big-screen nightmares, thrillers, and emotional gut-punches. From haunted hotels to prisonyard redemption arcs, nobody’s safe and nothing is off-limits. If you love movies, magic, mayhem, and a little competitive chaos, this episode’s got your name on it.

    Predator: Badlands and Die My Love

    Send us a text This week on the pod, we dive deep into two of the latest cinematic releases — the brutal sci-fi survival of Predator: Badlands and the haunting, emotional powerhouse Die My Love. We break down what worked, what didn’t, and which one left us talking long after the credits rolled. In movie news, we chat about the latest buzz surrounding Sydney Sweeney’s next big role and all the fresh updates on Avengers: Doomsday — including what the leaks and rumors might mean for the future of the MCU. Finally, we wrap up the episode with a brand-new game segment: “The Common Thread.” One of us lists three actors, and the other has to guess the movie they all appeared in together — with plenty of chaos and laughter along the way. 🎧 Tune in for reviews, news, and movie-nerd fun — it’s one of our most jam-packed episodes yet!
