    The Call Answered: Why The Black Phone 2 is a Great Sequel We Never Needed | Movie Review

    The Grabber is back, and we've got the full, spoiler-heavy review for The Black Phone 2! Scott Derrickson and Blumhouse delivered a stunning, highly-rated follow-up that had us arguing the entire episode. On one hand, this film is a near-perfect blueprint for a horror sequel—it takes the story to bold, ambitious, and terrifying new places with spectacular performances from Ethan Hawke and Madeleine McGraw. We truly loved it and scored it high! But here’s the rub: did the story of Finney and The Grabber truly need a continuation? We dive deep into whether Black Phone 2's expanded supernatural lore and return of the iconic villain ultimately detracts from the chilling, contained ending of the first movie. In this episode, we discuss: Our high score and why it works as a standalone horror film.How the sequel effectively tackles trauma and the supernatural element.The debate: Does a great, unnecessary sequel cheapen the original's legacy?Ethan Hawke's terrifying return as The Grabber.#TheBlackPhone2 #BlackPhone2Review #HorrorSequel #EthanHawke #TheGrabber #Blumhouse #MovieReviewPodcast #ScottDerrickson #HorrorPodcast #FilmDebate

    HIM Review: Critics Missed the Point! One of 2025's Best Movies Explained

    The critics slammed it, but we loved it. Our HIM movie review tackles the Jordan Peele-produced sports horror that has everyone talking. Was this a flawed genre-bender or a misunderstood masterpiece? We argue that HIM isn't a conventional horror movie, but a brilliant, surreal takedown of sports culture and the brutal cost of achieving GOAT status. Join us as we break down the shocking ending, Marlon Wayans' incredible performance, the hidden symbolism, and why the mainstream reviews completely missed the point of the film's challenging style. #filmcritic #moviereview #him #marlonwayans #movie #horror
