    Episode 576 - I Love Boosters

    This week on CinemaChat, we dive into I Love Boosters (2026), the latest wildly original film from Boots Riley. Set in a surreal version of the Bay Area, the film follows Corvette (Keke Palmer) and her crew of fashion-savvy shoplifters as they target a ruthless fashion mogul who profits from stolen ideas and exploited labor. What starts as a stylish heist comedy quickly evolves into a bizarre mix of social satire, science fiction, labor activism, and anti-capitalist commentary. We discuss Riley's trademark blend of absurd humor and political messaging, the film's stacked ensemble cast, its unforgettable visual style, and whether its ambitious ideas come together as successfully as his previous work, Sorry to Bother You. Is I Love Boosters a bold and brilliant satire, or does it get lost in its own ambitions? Join us as we break down the performances, themes, weirdest moments, and whether this fashion-fueled revolution belongs on your must-watch list. Then stick around to hear our final ratings. -- We will be reviewing requests from patrons once a month.

    Episode 575 - Obsession

    This week on the podcast, we’re reviewing Obsession (2026), the new horror film from rising filmmaker Curry Barker that’s been generating a ton of buzz online and on the festival circuit. What starts as an awkward romantic wish-fulfillment story quickly spirals into something disturbing, uncomfortable, and completely unhinged. We talk about the film’s blend of horror and dark comedy, the nightmare-fuel performance from Inde Navarrette, and why so many critics are calling this one of the breakout horror movies of 2026. We also get into the movie’s themes of control, obsession, toxic relationships, and the film’s shocking moments. Plus, we discuss the direction from Barker, the movie’s chaotic tone shifts, the effectiveness of the gore and psychological horror, and whether this is a future cult classic or simply a mean-spirited endurance test. Was Obsession one of the year’s best horror films, or did it push things too far for us? Tune in to hear our full review and final scores. -- We will be reviewing requests from patrons once a month.

    Episode 574 - Mortal Kombat II

    This week on CinemaChat... we enter the TOURNAMENT once again (for the first time) with our review of Mortal Kombat II! After the mildly disappointing first film, does this sequel level up the action, characters, and fatalities… or does it fall victim to the franchise curse? We break down the fights, the new additions to the roster, the fan service, and whether the movie actually delivers the chaotic fun people want from Mortal Kombat. We also talk about the performances, how it compares to the 2021 movie, and where it lands among video game adaptations overall. Did Mortal Kombat II finish us with style… or should this franchise have stayed in the NetherRealm? Tune in to find out our final scores. -- We will be reviewing requests from patrons once a month.

    Episode 573 - Apex

    This week, we head into the Australian wilderness for Netflix’s survival thriller Apex (2026)! Charlize Theron stars as a grieving adrenaline junkie trying to reconnect with herself through an extreme solo adventure — only to find herself hunted by a terrifying psychopath played by Taron Egerton. Directed by Baltasar Kormákur (Everest, Beast), the film blends survival horror, psychological thriller, and brutal wilderness action into one tense package. We discuss whether the movie delivers on its intense setup, how effective the Theron/Egerton dynamic is, and if the film’s survival elements are enough to overcome some of its familiar genre beats. Did Apex climb to the top of our survival thriller rankings, or did it fall off the cliff before reaching the summit? Tune in to hear our final scores and full breakdown! Oh and you also get a little bit of preshow where Reggie and Brent discuss some travel they've been taking, and Reggie asks Brent an important question. We also give a box office game update! -- We will be reviewing requests from patrons once a month.

    Episode 572 - Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice

    This week we’re checking out Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice (2026), a fast-moving crime comedy that throws time travel, gangsters, and double-crosses into the same chaotic night. With Vince Vaughn pulling double duty and James Marsden in the mix, the movie leans into a wild premise where survival gets a whole lot more complicated once the timeline starts getting messed with. We talk about the chemistry between Vaughn and Marsden, how well the time-travel element works, and whether the movie delivers more as a comedy, a crime story, or just pure chaos. So does Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice turn its bizarre setup into something memorable, or does it get tangled up in its own madness?

    Episode 571 - War Machine

    This week we’re checking out War Machine (2026), a military thriller that takes a hard left turn into full-blown sci-fi chaos on Netflix. Led by Alan Ritchson, the story blends military with sci-fi spectacle, as the squad is forced to adapt, survive, and figure out how to take down an enemy that’s faster, stronger, and unlike anything they’ve trained for. We get into whether the genre mashup actually works, how effective the action is, and if the movie leans more into its Predator-style survival roots or its larger alien invasion setup. So does War Machine deliver a fun, chaotic action ride, or is it one that feels a little too familiar? Tune in to hear our final ratings. -- We will be reviewing requests from patrons once a month.

    Episode 570 - The Drama

    This week we check out The Drama (2026), a romantic comedy that quickly reveals itself to be something much darker. What starts as a stylish, slightly offbeat look at a couple heading toward their wedding turns into a tense unraveling when a shocking confession changes everything. The film leans heavily into uncomfortable territory, mixing humor with some pretty heavy themes as the relationship between Emma and Charlie is put under a microscope. It’s less about the wedding itself and more about what happens when the past crashes into the present in a way you can’t ignore. So where does The Drama land for us? A bold and thought-provoking film, or a swing that doesn’t quite connect? Tune in to hear our final ratings. -- We will be reviewing requests from patrons once a month.

    Episode 569 - They Will Kill You

    This week we’re checking out They Will Kill You (2026), a horror-thriller that leans into paranoia, isolation, and the creeping sense that something isn’t quite right. We get into whether the slow-burn approach works, how effective the set pieces actually are, and if the story brings anything fresh to a genre packed with similar setups. So is They Will Kill You the kind of horror that sticks with you after the credits roll, or one that fades out just as quickly?
