    Episode 131 - Weapons - The Best Horror Movie of 2025???

    Send us a text Welcome back to DMR Weapons is directed and written by Zach Cregger, and features a strong ensemble cast including Julia Garner, Josh Brolin, Alden Ehrenreich, Austin Abrams, Benedict Wong, and Amy Madigan. The film centers on a horrifying event — one night, an entire third-grade class disappears without a trace, leaving behind only a single child. As panic spreads through the community, suspicion falls on the teacher, and a grieving father, along with other adults, begin unraveling the mystery. Critically, Weapons has been very well received. On Rotten Tomatoes, it holds a 93% “Tomatometer” score, reflecting broad acclaim for its atmosphere, acting, and the way it blends horror-mystery tropes. Financially, the film has been a major success: it grossed around US $268.3 million worldwide, far exceeding its modest production budget — making it one of 2025’s most successful horror films.

    Episode 130 - Predator: Badlands - A Galatic Good Time!!!

    Send us a text Welcome back to DMR The newest installment in the Predator franchise, Predator: Badlands, breaks new ground by placing a Predator, or Yautja, as its central protagonist. The story follows Dek, a young, outcast Yautja on a quest to prove his worth to his warrior clan by hunting the seemingly unkillable apex predator of the treacherous, alien world of Genna, often called "The Death Planet." His perilous journey leads to an unlikely alliance with an advanced Weyland-Yutani Corporation android named Thia, whose own mission on the hostile planet went sideways. Together, the mismatched pair must navigate the lethal environment, evade Weyland-Yutani forces, and confront a terrifying creature that challenges everything Dek has been taught about the honor of the hunt, making for a thrilling sci-fi survival adventure. The film is directed by Dan Trachtenberg, who also helmed the critically acclaimed Prey. The main cast features Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi as the Predator protagonist, Dek, and Elle Fanning in the dual role of the androids Thia and Tessa. As of the latest reports, Predator: Badlands has earned over $162 million at the global box office. Critics have embraced the fresh take, awarding it a Certified Fresh 86% on Rotten Tomatoes, while audiences have given it an even higher score of 96%.

    Episode 129 - Monster The Ed Gein Story..........Wow...........Ahhhh

    Send us a text Welcome back to DMR Monster: The Ed Gein Story is the third season of the Netflix anthology Monster. Charlie Hunnam takes on the chilling role of Ed Gein, the real-life murderer and grave robber, playing him with a disturbing mix of vulnerability and menace. He’s supported by Laurie Metcalf as his domineering mother, Augusta, and Tom Hollander portraying Alfred Hitchcock in a metafictional twist — tying Gein’s life to the cinematic monsters he inspired. The series was developed by Ian Brennan and overseen by Ryan Murphy, with Max Winkler directing much of the season. Hunnam has said that he felt significant pressure playing such a dark, psychologically complex figure, and described the role as emotionally taxing. Critically, the season has been met with strong backlash. Many reviewers criticize it for sensationalising Gein’s crimes rather than offering a thoughtful exploration of his psyche. Some argue that the show leans too heavily into stylised horror, fictional subplots, and shock value — distracting from any deeper commentary on mental illness or the nature of evil. There’s also concern about historical inaccuracy and how the series humanizes Gein at the expense of his real-life victims. While Hunnam’s performance is often cited as a high point, critics largely describe the overall show as morally ambivalent, unfocused, and exploitative.

    Episode 128 - Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein - A Monster Netflix Success!

    Send us a text Welcome back to DMR  Directed by the acclaimed Guillermo del Toro, the new Frankenstein on Netflix features an exceptional cast led by Oscar Isaac as Dr. Victor Frankenstein and Jacob Elordi as the Creature. The ensemble also includes Mia Goth, Christoph Waltz, and Charles Dance, bringing together a powerhouse of talent under del Toro’s gothic vision. The film reimagines Mary Shelley’s timeless tale with the director’s signature blend of emotional depth and dark beauty, crafting a hauntingly intimate exploration of creation and consequence. The story follows Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant yet tormented scientist whose obsession with conquering death leads him down a path of obsession and tragedy. Del Toro’s interpretation emphasizes both the horror and the humanity of the tale, pairing breathtaking production design with an emotionally charged narrative. Critics have hailed it as one of the director’s finest works, earning a stellar score on Rotten Tomatoes and widespread praise for its performances, atmosphere, and heart-wrenching storytelling.

    Episode 127 - Jurassic World Rebirth: Roaring Success or Franchise Extinction?

    Send us a text Welcome back to DMR! Jurassic World: Rebirth is a visually impressive but narratively uneven return to the dinosaur blockbuster formula. Critics praise its thrilling set pieces, polished effects, and renewed focus on the prehistoric stars that made the franchise iconic. It’s a big, loud, entertaining ride that captures some of the old magic, and for audiences simply craving dino mayhem, it largely delivers. The cast is solid, the action sequences are well-executed, and it feels more respectful of the original Jurassic Park tone than some recent installments. But the story itself doesn’t quite evolve — it’s weighed down by thin characters, predictable plotting, and a few unnecessary subplots. Many reviewers describe it as fun but forgettable, a movie that entertains in the moment yet doesn’t leave a lasting impact. That’s why it sits at around 50% on Rotten Tomatoes: half the critics enjoyed the spectacle, while the other half felt the franchise is stuck in the past. In short, Rebirth roars but doesn’t soar!

    Episode 126 - One Battle After Another - Best Film of 2025???

    Send us a text Welcome back to DMR! One Battle After Another is a 2025 action-thriller directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, featuring Leonardo DiCaprio as Bob, a former revolutionary leader trying to live a quiet life off the grid with his daughter, Willa, played by Chase Infiniti. Their peace is shattered when Willa disappears, pulling Bob back into a world he thought he'd left behind. Teyana Taylor plays Perfidia, a figure from Bob’s past whose allegiances are uncertain, while Sean Penn portrays Colonel Steven J. Lockjaw, an old adversary with unfinished business. The film also features Benicio del Toro and Regina Hall in pivotal supporting roles. With its grounded performances and politically charged storyline, the film blends personal stakes with broader themes of loyalty, consequence, and resistance. Paul Thomas Anderson brings his signature style to the project—blending suspense, emotional weight, and rich character dynamics—which may draw critical attention. While it certainly has the hallmarks of a high-caliber drama, One Battle After Another seems more focused on telling a tight, character-driven story than chasing awards. That said, with the talent involved, it wouldn’t be surprising if it ends up in the conversation during awards season.

    Episode 124 - Squid Game Legacy - Signs Off In Blood & Ink!

    Send us a text Squid Game Season 3 on Netflix brings the brutal saga to a close with a sharp edge and emotional gravity. This final chapter sees Seong Gi-hun return not as a player, but as a man with a mission—to dismantle the twisted machinery behind the games. Across six tightly wound episodes, the show doubles down on moral ambiguity, betrayal, and the human cost of survival. Familiar faces resurface, past wounds are torn open, and justice becomes a blood-stained pursuit. It’s not just about who survives anymore—it’s about who can live with what they’ve done. The ending doesn't just tie up loose ends; it leaves scars—on characters and viewers alike. But Squid Game was always bigger than its plot. It reshaped global entertainment, proving that a Korean-language series could dominate the world’s screens and spark global conversations about inequality, desperation, and the price of choice. Its legacy is etched not just in ratings or awards, but in culture—those green tracksuits, the haunting music, the symbolism of every game. Season 3 may mark the end of the story, but Squid Game’s impact will echo for years. It didn’t just go out with a bang—it signed off in blood and ink, sealing its place as one of the most daring and influential shows of our time.
