  1. Spoiler Review: They Will Kill You

    4D AGO

    Spoiler Review: They Will Kill You

    This week we review and discuss They Will Kill You, an action movie directed by Kirill Sokolov and starring Zazie Beetz, Myha'la and Heather Graham, about a woman who takes a job in an exclusive New York apartment building in order to save her sister, which quickly turns into a desperate fight for survival. We discuss how They Will Kill You is not like the other Eat The Rich movies that have come out recently, the importance of nonverbal storytelling and whether the movie succeeds at that in particular in its action scenes, how a few setpieces can make a movie if a little care and creativity went into them and why more movies need mattress fights, we analyse the social commentary and associated metaphors of the movie and discuss the racial politics of demon cults, and much more.

  2. Spoiler Review: Project Hail Mary

    Spoiler Review: Project Hail Mary

    This week we review and discuss Project Hail Mary, a science fiction movie directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller and starring Ryan Gosling, Sandra Hüller and James Ortiz, about a scientist who embarks on a mission to the star Tau Ceti on a mission to save Earth, where he encounters an alien who is on the same mission. We discuss what works about this movie and what doesn't, how it compares to Andy Weir's other movie The Martian in its humor and its use of real science to enable its story, how the movie struggles with its lack of real conflict and consequences to character actions, what the movie has to say about bravery and sacrifice, the difference between real and fake stakes and why this movie is in multiple places on the wrong side of that distinction, how the movie seems to have dropped important details in the adaptation from the novel that undermines parts of its story in ways that weren't necessary, and much more.

  3. Spoiler Review: How To Make A Killing

    MAR 18

    Spoiler Review: How To Make A Killing

    This week we review and discuss How To Make A Killing, a dark comedy thriller movie directed by John Patton Ford and starring Glen Powell, Margaret Qualley and Jessica Henwick, about a man who stands to inherit his family's 20 billion dollar fortune once he has killed the seven family members who stand in his way, which puts him on a path of ambition and conscience. We discuss the movie's handling of themes of ambition, entitlement and greed, how the movie uses symbolism and characters to put the protagonist on a path that forces him to choose between two radically different lives, how this movie's trailer and marketing set the wrong expectations which will probably hurt the movie at the box office and why we predict it will become a hidden gem in the future, how the movie's portrayal of wealth and the wealthy is more interesting and nuanced than most movies in the "eat the rich" genre that has been popular lately, and much more.

  4. Spoiler Review: A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 1

    MAR 15

    Spoiler Review: A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 1

    This week we review and discuss season 1 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, a fantasy drama series created by Ira Parker and starring Peter Claffey, Dexter Sol Ansell and Daniel Ings, in which a Dunk, a hedge knight, and Egg, his young squire, try to find success and justice in Westeros a hundred years before the events of Game of Thrones. We talk about how this series is a return to form for the franchise, what it gets right and what later seasons of Game of Thrones got wrong, how the series deals with completely different topics and themes than the original show while still feeling like it belongs in Westeros, how having a small and self contained story is a refreshing change of pace from the sprawling decade spanning narratives that never work out anyway, why it makes us optimistic again for the franchise, and much more.

    MAR 11

    Spoiler Review: The Bride!

    This week we review and discuss The Bride!, a Gothic romance movie directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal and starring Jessie Buckley, Christian Bale and Penelope Cruz, in which a woman who was killed by the mob in 1930's Chicago is reanimated as the bride of Frankenstein, and the two then go on a crime spree in search of freedom. We talk about the movie's handling of its numerous themes and whether it does any of them well, whether it makes enough sense, whether it needs to and when you should just accept that a movie is simply not for you, we dissect the meaning of various ideas throughout the movie including the monster's quest for companionship, the bride's anger and rage at the injustices of the world, the theme of names defining characters, and much more.

    Spoiler Review: Scream 7

    This week we review and discuss Scream 7, a horror slasher movie directed by Kevin Williamson and starring Neve Campbell, Isabel May and Courteney Cox, in which Sidney Prescott and her daughter are targeted by another Ghostface killer who appears to be an old enemy. We talk about the movie's handling of themes such as nostalgia and making reality conform to fiction and how that intersects with the idea of generative AI, whether Scream 7 is a worthwhile addition to the franchise that continues Sidney Prescott's story after the iconic original trilogy or if this is just cashing in on franchise inertia, whether the Scream formula is played out and if this movie does enough with the familiar formula to be interesting, our favourite kills and what to expect from slasher movies, and much more.

    Spoiler Review: Cold Storage

    This week we review and discuss Cold Storage, a horror comedy movie directed by Jonny Campbell and starring Georgina Campbell, Joe Keery and Liam Neeson, about attempts at containing a parasitic fungus that leaks out of an abandoned military base. We talk about how the movie stacks up against its inspirations which include classics such as The Thing, Tremors and The Blob, discuss the movie's solid premise that sets up an interesting scenario with likeable characters who all explore the theme of living with the consequences of past mistakes in various ways, how the movie's ending disappointed us by turning into generic action without making good use of what was set up in the beginning, whether the movie succeeds in critiquing government incompetence through its sci fi scenario of the mutant fungus, and much more.

    Have You Seen: Office Space (1999)

    In "Have You Seen?" we discuss a movie that some of us know well and others have just now seen for the first time. This week we revisit Office Space, a satirical comedy from 1999 directed by Mike Judge and starring Ron Livingston, Jennifer Aniston and Gary Cole, about employees of a struggling tech company who are weary of their jobs and are looking for a way out of the monotony of the corporate rat race. We talk about how Office Space became such an iconic classic that still gets quoted 27 years later, how relatable it is to anyone who has worked a corporate job and why hell really is other people, what the movie does right that so many satires get wrong and why Mike Judge's satire hits different than most, what an Office Space sequel would look like in 2026 if it was made today, the meaning of life and much more.
