We're back with the October 2026 episode of Flickering Dreams - a regular monthly film analysis podcast - with the Flickering Dreams team: Dr Bob Mann | One Mann's MoviesRev. Andy Godfrey | Pure247Radio and AuthorEmma Sewell | Emma@TheMovies.Scott Forbes-Tavera | The Forbes Film & TV Review on Facebook &Dan Cook ¦ Dan Cook Movie Reviews on Facebook In this episode, we review our best and worst films of October 2026. We debate true-crime storytelling in Unibomber, celebrate the horror-comedy energy of Resident Evil, examine family influencer culture in Babystar, and share reactions to animation, concert cinema, and the month's worst films. One film ends up as being both the best and (nearly) the worst of the month, which is always fun! Sound bites: “It wasn't a stellar month for films, I would say.”“It's one of those as well, because it was a true story, it made me want to learn more.”“I wasn't gripped, but I enjoyed it.”“It is just great fun.”“I think it's just a perfectly balanced horror film, horror slash comedy film.”“This is a Truman show for 2026.”“It is a proper moment of unity of the music bringing these two cultures together in such a perfect way.”“I just thought it was a real joy.”“I lost count after zero, if that's the case.”“Anything that gets people into cinemas and gets people talking and gets people happy, is always a good thing.”"Really scary!""So I really enjoyed it."
