    The Drama Might Be the Best Thing Either of Them Has Ever Done

    Forrest, Liam, and guest Jacob review The Drama (2026) — Kristoffer Borgli's darkly funny A24 romantic comedy starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson. The crew mostly loved it, with both leads delivering what might be top 5 performances of their respective careers. They also briefly touch on the controversy surrounding the director and whether it colors the viewing experience.

    Project Hail Mary is Almost a Masterpiece

    Forrest, Liam, Jacob, and Numbers review Project Hail Mary (2026), the Phil Lord and Chris Miller sci-fi adaptation starring Ryan Gosling, and they're almost all in on it. The conversation centers on the surprising craftsmanship behind the direction, what Gosling gets right and slightly wrong, and why Rocky absolutely works. Also: someone had never seen Interstellar, and they heard about it.

    Two Charli XCX Movies Two Very Different Opinions

    The Retconnd crew goes full Charli XCX this episode. Forrest, Liam, and Maria review The Moment (2026), the A24 mockumentary where Charli plays a chaotic fictionalized version of herself and they loved it. Then they turn to Wuthering Heights (2026), Emerald Fennell's divisive literary adaptation featuring Charli's original soundtrack, which might be the only thing they had nice things to say about it.

  4. Avatar’s Visuals Saved It. Iron Lung's Didn’t.

    Avatar’s Visuals Saved It. Iron Lung's Didn’t.

    This week we split the episode in half: Avatar: Fire and Ash — incredible visuals, very mixed feelings on the story. Iron Lung — an ambitious horror adaptation that didn’t quite land for us. A sillier-than-usual episode with real debate, thoughtful criticism, and some strong opinions about spectacle vs storytelling.

    Send Help Is Just Plain Fun (And Rachel McAdams Rules)

    This week on Retconnd, we talk about Send Help, and surprisingly, we mostly agree. The performances really work, the writing is fun, and Rachel McAdams continues to prove why she’s so great. A relaxed, funny, and thoughtful conversation about a movie that knows what it’s doing.

    Hamnet Is a Masterpiece + We Ranked All of 2025 | Retconnd

    We all agreed on something for once: how we feel about Hamnet. After breaking down Jessie Buckley’s performance and why the film hit so hard, we run through every 2025 movie we’ve watched and rank the entire year so far, including some surprises, a few disappointments, and one movie we all despise.

  7. We Couldn't Agree on Marty Supreme

    Jan 12

    We Couldn't Agree on Marty Supreme

    We were completely split on Marty Supreme, from 1.5 stars to 4.5 stars. This episode is a true back-and-forth as we debate the writing, argue over the message, and clash on the ending. No clear winner, no forced agreement, just an honest conversation about why this movie worked for some of us and absolutely didn’t for others.

  8. This Was Supposed To Be a Movie Review

    12/22/2025

    This Was Supposed To Be a Movie Review

    We planned to talk about Die, My Love.We did not succeed. This episode turns into an accidental hangout where movies are still the backdrop, but the conversation spirals into food, holidays, and the kinds of director debates that pop up when structure disappears. Loose, funny, and very on-brand for Retconnd, even when we miss the assignment.
