Take 158: Black Bag, Opus, September 5, Sacramento, Riff Raff, and Minecraft-Mania!

🎙️ 🎙️

This week’s episode is packed tighter than a movie theater on opening night.

We kick things off with LIST IT or NIX IT, where we speed through a fresh crop of trailers—from The Naked Gun reboot to Tron: Ares, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, Bears on a Ship, and The Phonecian Scheme. Will they earn a spot on our Letterboxd watchlists… or get the boot?

Then it’s What We’ve Been Watching, as Jonathan and JP break down the films and TV shows that hit (or missed) over the past week. We’re talking Opus, Mickey 17, The Day the Earth Blew Up, Y2K, and the Reacher finale, plus new episodes of The Studio and The Pitt.

And of course, we close things out with The News, covering everything from Minecraft’s massive box office debut, to The Fantastic Four’s ‘60s-era space race vibe, and the wild lineup of upcoming projects: Road House 2, John Wick 5, a Tangled stall, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood 2, and Peter Jackson buying the actual Iron Throne for nearly $1.5 million.

Oh—and Sydney Sweeney might be piloting a Gundam.

Tap in. We’ve got thoughts
