    This week, we're reviewing The Furious (2026), the latest martial arts action film that aims to deliver brutal fight choreography, relentless pacing, and a classic revenge-driven story. We break down the performances, the action sequences, and whether the film rises above familiar genre conventions or simply repeats them. Along the way, we discuss the movie's biggest strengths and weaknesses, highlight some standout fight scenes, and debate whether The Furious earns a spot among the better modern martial arts films. We also have a RETRO REVIEW this week. We take you back to a Cutting Room Floor review of MMA-style Karate Kid movie Never Back Down that we recorded back in 2021. -- We will be reviewing requests from patrons once a month.

    Episode 578 - We Bury the Dead

    WARNING: We do delve into spoilers. This week we are discussing We Bury the Dead (2024...2026). After a catastrophic military accident devastates Tasmania and leaves the dead mysteriously reanimating, Ava (Daisy Ridley) joins a body retrieval unit in a desperate search for her missing husband. What begins as a post-apocalyptic survival story quickly evolves into a haunting exploration of grief, closure, and the emotional baggage we carry long after loss. We discuss the film's themes of unfinished business, the unusual behavior of its undead, and whether the ending delivers a satisfying payoff. Does We Bury the Dead offer something fresh in the zombie genre, or does its slower, more contemplative approach leave too much buried beneath the surface? Join us as we discuss We Bury the Dead and find out where it lands on our scorecards. -- We will be reviewing requests from patrons once a month.

    Episode 577 - Backrooms

    This week on CinemaChat Podcast, we're stepping into the endless maze of Backrooms (2026), the feature film adaptation of the viral internet horror phenomenon. Directed by Kane Parsons, the film follows a therapist searching for a missing man who has become trapped inside a bizarre alternate reality filled with impossible architecture, mysterious entities, and more questions than answers. We discuss how effectively the film expands the mythology of the original online videos, whether its atmosphere and tension can sustain a feature-length runtime, and how the performances from Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve help ground an otherwise surreal experience. We also examine the film's stunning visual design, and the challenge of balancing mystery with explanation. Along the way, we debate the film's ambiguous ending, compare it to other psychological and liminal-space horror films, and discuss whether Backrooms succeeds as both a standalone movie and an adaptation of a beloved internet phenomenon. So where does Backrooms rank among the year's horror releases, and did it manage to escape the curse of internet-property adaptations? Tune in to hear our full review and final ratings. -- We will be reviewing requests from patrons once a month.
