    Marry, F***, Kill (Food & Franchises lol) + "Wuthering Heights" + New trailers for Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, Spider-Noir, and a new John Wick video game?! - EP 199

    This week, with Episode 199, we discuss the announcement of an untitled John Wick game!  Can it hit like the movies? Plus we have new trailers for Spider-Noir, the new Sony/Amazon prime series starring Nicholas Cage (and, god willing, Spider-Pig), and Lee Cronin’s unnerving take on The Mummy! Then we play FMK (if you have to ask).  The subject?  Potatoes.  Did we unlock a new segment for future episodes?  We’ll have to see… Then we wrap with Ed’s hot take on “Wuthering Heights”, the latest movie from Emerald Fennell.  It might not meet the expectations of fans of the book, but was it a good time at the theater? Plus Ed gives some thoughts on season 2 of Euphoria and Miguel gives us the latest update on his MCU rewatch journey.  And Luis is bursting to discuss Nirvana the Band the Show the Movie!  Will Miguel catch it in theaters?!  We can only hope. All that and more this week, be sure to check it out and don’t forget to like, subscribe and follow, wherever you find your podcasts, on social media and Youtube.  Leave a comment! 00:00 - Intro 08:15 - Spider Noir Trailer 11:30 - Lee Cronin’s The Mummy Trailer 15:55 - Marry, F, Kill - Food + Franchises 37:40 - MCU  Rewatch 51:20 - “Wuthering Heights” 58:50 - Euphoria Catchup

    We Get A First Look at The Beatles + And Why Are they Showing Super Bowls Ads Before the Game! - Episode 197

    This week:  We get our first, official looks at the fab four, the star-studded cast of The Beatles, in full get-up!  Which one is the most uncanny?  Which one is still raising questions?   We also get a look at the 2026 release slate for Appletv, including season 2 of Monarch, season 4 of Ted Lasso, Margot’s Got Money Troubles, and a new Cape Fear series! Plus we get the first official trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2, but does it still have the bite of the first film?   Then we wonder why the hell are we seeing all the superbowl ads and trailers before the actual superbowl?!  Where’s the anticipation, where’s the mystery?  Why bother watching if we get to see it days before?  We debate this most serious of offences. And, of course, we catch up on what we’re into, from HBO’s The Pitt, to Euphoria, to the latest MCU show, Wonder Man.  And we get an update on Miguel’s MCU rewatch, leading up to Doomsday! All that and more, so don’t miss this episode and don’t forget to like, subscribe, follow and comment on our podcast, we’re glad to have you! 00:00 - Intro 01:05 - The Beatles 14:00 - Apple TV 2026 Shows 25:10 - Devil Wears Prada 2 30:50 - Super Bowl Commercials 39:10 - The Pitt50:50 - Marvel Catch Up 1:06:05 - Wonder Man 1:14:45 - Euphoria

    Our Most Anticipated Movies of 2026 + Avatar 3 Review + Catching up on 2025 Movies - EP 192

    Happy New Year, Nerds! We are back and diving into the new year with our most anticipated movies of 2026! But before we dig into that, we look back at 2025 and the movies we’re still trying to cram in before we deliver our Top Tens of the year! Then we look at some other top movies, or so-called, of the Screen Actors Guild as they announce their nominees for this year! We get into all the snubs and surprises and give our predictions too, of course. It’s time to catch up with the latest trailers, including Nolan’s The Odyssey, a new take on an old tale with The Death of Robin Hood, and a spoilerific trailer for They Will Kill You.  Plus we get honest about the four-part Avengers: Doomsday teaser trailer release.  For a double helping of our feature discussion, along with our most anticipated movies of 2026, we also review the holiday hit, AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH!  Does the third of the franchises carry on the momentum of the second film, or is this story dead in the water? And finally, we dabble in what we’ve been into as both nerds, Ed and Luis, try to squeeze in every last movie they can before we wrap 2025 for good.  Plus Sorry, Baby, Stranger Things and more. It’s a long one this week, but a good, fun discussion was had by all and, hopefully, by you! Listen to this episode, and all our episodes, wherever you get your pods.
