    We’re Split Up About RESIDENT EVIL (2026) - Episode 226

    Did we enjoy a RESIDENT EVIL movie at long last? Well, we never saw the other ones, but we couldn’t resist checking out the latest horror outing from Zack Cregger, and did it meet expectations?  At least for some of us, this was an endlessly fun horror romp, with a surprising number of laughs to boot!  Check out the episode for our review! PLUS we have a handful of new trailers - continuing on in old hollywood with THE FURTHER MIS-ADVENTURES OF CLIFF BOOTH, getting into even weirder territory with Nathan Fielder in the much buzzed-about documentary YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING, and our very first look at Brad Bird’s passion project animation, RAY GUNN! And, of course, what we’re into with games like GTA V and the much maligned WOLVERINE (is it really that bad?). Then Ed catches up on WIDOWS BAY, TONY, and sheds some light on a classic.   All that and more!

    Summer Movie Wager 2026 - We announce the winner and the Sleeper Summer Box Office Hits - EP 225

    Our Summer Movie Wager 2026 has come to a close, but who wins the championship belt? Yes, summer is over and that means our Summer Movie Wager comes to an end, and what a roller coaster of a summer it was. Where we counted on the usual franchise slop to win big at the box office, we actually saw independent, original films take the gold instead.  The likes of Obsession and Backrooms beating out The Mandalorian and Grogu and Moana caught us all by surprise, though a welcome one to be sure. It’s certainly gratifying to see audiences lean toward original and ambitious filmmaking, although it certainly had its impact on our predictions.  We must have each been at number one at some point this summer, and each at the bottom too. In the end Spider-Man: Brand New Day was the winner of the box office, breaking records left and right.  So who does that leave as the winner of the wager?
