    188B: SPOILER'D A24's Primetime

    Primetime SPOILER'D review: the true story behind the raid, that finale, and should Chris Hansen sue? *Spoilers ahead...even in the description below Cupcake and WillDaBeast are joined by Tyler from Raiders of the Podcast to break down the movie - spoilers and all, plot twists, and the ending - Primetime, Lance Oppenheim's heightened “docufantasia” take on the making of Dateline NBC's To Catch a Predator, based on Luke Dittrich's Esquire article “Tonight on Dateline, This Man Will Die.” We get into the real events behind the Texas finale, Skyler Gisondo's decoy Dan and that SAG card ending, Merritt Wever's ratings-hungry producer, Bokeem Woodbine's Texas cop, DAT FULL FRONTAL CAMEO, and Robert Pattinson's wild turn as Chris Hansen. Then we settle the big debate: after reports that Hansen was considering suing, would he have a case? If you loved the media satire of Nightcrawler, the behind-the-scenes TV cynicism of Unreal, or the Paramount+ documentary Predators, this dark comedy true-crime hybrid from A24 is right in that lane.

  2. 4d ago

    Episode 188: a24's PRIMETIME spoiler-free

    A24's Primetime is NOT the Chris Hansen biopic you expect! Robert Pattinson, Merritt Wever, and Skyler Gisondo star in A24's Primetime, directed by documentarian Lance Oppenheim (Some Kind of Heaven, Sperm World) with Nathan Fielder and Ari Aster in the mix. If you're expecting a straightforward Chris Hansen biopic about the To Catch a Predator era, buckle up: this is "docufantasia," a heightened, satirical blend of documentary and fantasy, shot in a boxy 4:3 frame that looks like an old CRT reality show. BUT no one told Cupcake and our guest about this! We open on a discussion of the "To Catch a Predator", the advent of "Gotcha" reality news, and just WTF "docufantasia" is. Then, Cupcake and WildDaBeast, joined by returning guest Tyler from Raiders of the Podcast, give their spoiler free verdicts on what is likely to be one of the most controversial films (but NOT for what you think) with INCREDIBLE performances from Robert Pattinson (who is having quite the Anne Hathaway-esque year) and Skyler Gisondo. Pssst....one of us thinks this is "one of 2026's best films of the year". - - - - - - - - - - WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS! ***Original Theme music: Linus Fitness-Center (click the link in our bio for more information on LFC) FOLLOW/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE/REVIEW/LOVE Email us: WatchSkipPlus@gmail.com Be kind.

    187B: SPOILER'D Resident Evil

    Zach Cregger's RESIDENT EVIL (2026) explained — the influences and nods, the monster mechanics, and why the finale splits our panel. Zach Cregger's Resident Evil (2026), the director's third film after Weapons and Barbarian, ROARED to monstrous opening box office last weekend.  Kevin Matthews of “Raiders of the Podcast” joins Cupcake (Jose) and WillDaBeast (Mike) to dig into re-boot and re-envisioning of Capcom’s enduring game franchise. One of us thinks Austin Abrams’ organ-courier hero is a loser, two of us think the movie slows when certain NPC’s characters waltz in and out and waste the viewers’ time, and all three of us applaud the escalating monster and gore. We open with a short discussion of video game adaptations and where this film fits in. And to finish we hit that divisive ending? Meta-level storytelling or classic CREGGER?  Whether you saw the film or you just want to spoil it for yourself BEFORE you see it, GET VIRAL with WATCH SKIP PLUS! - - - - - - - - - - WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS! ***Original Theme music: Linus Fitness-Center (click the link in our bio for more information on LFC) FOLLOW/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE/REVIEW/LOVE Email us: ⁠WatchSkipPlus@gmail.com⁠ 📺 WATCH THE SPOILER-FREE REVIEW→ Spotify:     https://open.spotify.com/episode/1pqm2LY6plumntQiA1lMbA?si=664ad63b38814f38 ─────────────────────────────── @sony @sonypictures @imax @constantinfilm @playstation @kali_ko_reis @paulwhausergram @sara_paxton

    Episode 187: Resident Evil (2026)

    Zach Cregger's Resident Evil (2026) spoiler-free review: two of us loved it, one wanted more. Watch or Skip? Zach Cregger's Resident Evil (2026) is here, and the Watch Skip Plus crew is split! Cupcake and returning guest Kevin from Raiders of the Podcast loved it. Mike had a much more mixed time. This is our SPOILER-FREE review: no plot beyond the basics and no ending talk. The SPOILER'D episode drops later this week. After Barbarian and Weapons, Cregger takes on the video game horror franchise with Austin Abrams (Euphoria, Weapons) in the lead and John Wick writer Shay Hatten co-writing. We dig into whether this Resident Evil movie feels like the games, or like watching someone play one. As usual BEFORE verdicts, the hosts discuss production - Cregger's comedy roots, the co-writer's hit-or-miss track record, cinematographer Darius Wolski - and how it stacks up against Paul W.S. Anderson's Milla Jovovich series and the previous bomb reboot Welcome to Raccoon City.

    186B: SPOILER'D Na Hong-jin's Hope

    A monster movie that turns into something else entirely — we explain how Hope pulls it off and what that ending really means. That creature feature/alien movie you've been hearing about with dodgy CGI and a "worst ending ever"? WE SPOIL HOPE'S PLOT, SECRETS, AND ENDING! *Spoilers ahead (even in the description) Na Hong-jin's Hope pulls the rug out from under you, and we're breaking down every second of it. Cupcake and WillDaBeast (Mike) are joined by returning guest Shawn Guerrero (of the soon to be released "The Rot & Reels podcast" with legendary Mike Cadaver) as they dump the tea on Korea's most expensive creature feature ever made: the alien reveal, who that tiny creature really is, and all of the movie's influences - everything from the Aliens franchise, Godzilla, and yes...Raiders of the Lost Ark. What's that you say? "Avatar"-esque motion-capture work from Michael Fassbender, Alicia Vikander, Taylor Russell, and Cameron Britton, and Korea's biggest and hottest actors?

    Episode 186: Na Hong-jin's HOPE spoiler free

    Is Na Hong-jin's HOPE the Creature Feature We've Been Waiting For? (Spoiler-Free Review) Watch Skip Plus has seen Na Hong-jin's HOPE....and it is an INSANE, BREATHLESSLY-PACED CREATURE FEATURE! Joined by returning guest Shawn (launching his own horror/grindhouse podcast later this month - The Rot & Reels podcast with veteran podcaster Mike Cadaver), the three introduce you to maverick Korean director Na Hong-Jin and his incredible films before giving you their spoiler-free thoughts on this sci-fi/action/comedy, THREE years in the making and nearly TEN years since his last film (The Wailing). HOPE debuted in competition at Cannes and drops audiences into a remote harbor town under siege by something never-before-seen in a nearly three hour genre-blend film that references film noir, Kaiju epics, Independence Day, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and even Mad Max. BUT the internet is awash with divisive CGI talk and an ending that FLAMED many viewers. Is this the defining sci-fi, rambunctiously wild thriller of the year?

    185B: SPOILER'D Onslaught

    ONSLAUGHT Ending Explained (SPOILER'D) — Adam Wingard's KPG Universe Grows *SPOILERS AHEAD (even in the description) Adam Wingard and his long-standing writing partner Simon Barrett's new film Onslaught is a return to their indie roots back in the day when they made VHS 2, You're Next, and The Guest. After making Death Note and two Godzilla movies, Wingard wanted final cut and expression of his singular, tonal chaos aesthetic. Cupcake (Jose) and WillDaBeast (Mike) deep dive the movie, its gorgeous cast - Adria Arjona, Dan Stevens, Rebecca Hall, and Drew Starky - and if this is WINGARD-worthy or just for the die-hards. The Boyz dig into Dan Stevens' "Peter Sellers"-esque performance, ALL the Carpenter nods (this is "The Guest" meets "Assault on Precinct 13" with a dash of "The Terminator"). The discussion of plot details and secrets reveal why this plays as a spiritual sequel to The Guest and You're Next, while actually being a direct entry in Wingard and Barrett's shared KPG universe (yes, the same KPG from The Guest, You're Next, VHS/2, and Blair Witch).

    Episode 185: Adam Wingard's Onslaught spoiler free

    Adam Wingard & Simon Barrett reunite for a Terminator-meets-Carpenter slasher. Spoiler-free verdict inside. Cupcake (Jose) and Mike (WillDaBeast) dive spoiler-free into Onslaught, the long-awaited reunion of director Adam Wingard and writer Simon Barrett whose previous films - The Guest, You're Next, Netflix's Death Note, and Blair Witch - are both beloved and polarizing. Shot on a $20 million budget back in New Mexico (same stomping grounds as The Guest), Onslaught follows a trio of unstoppable, Terminator-style killers unleashed on a small town, with Adria Arjona, Dan Stevens, Reginald VelJohnson, and Rebecca Hall caught in the crossfire. A return to Wingard's indie roots after directing Godzilla vs. Kong and Godzilla x Kong, pic homages the heck out of the seminal films by John Carpenter (Halloween, The Fog, and especially Assault on Precinct 13) as well a healthy dose of James Cameron (circa Terminator and Terminator: Judgment Day; even Hicks....Michael Biehn...makes an appearance). But will Cupcake (who is dying to marry Adam Wingard) and diehard Wingard fans be satisfied by this "spiritual" sequel that lives in the universe of The Guest? Or is this "seen it/done that", mid-Wingard (if that is even such a thing)? Come back for our SPOILER'D episode where we dig into the ending, the kills, and the universal connection that links this film with nearly all other "Barrett-Wingard" movies. - - - - - - - - - - WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS! ***Original Theme music: Linus Fitness-Center (click the link in our bio for more information on LFC) FOLLOW/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE/REVIEW/LOVE Email us: WatchSkipPlus@gmail.com Be kind.
