    154b: MERCY SPOILER’D (spoilers ahead!)

    In this spoiler-filled deep dive into Mercy, Cupcake and The WillDaBeast break down everything — from Chris Pratt's controversial casting as a morally grey cop strapped to a chair for 90 minutes, to Rebecca Ferguson's stunning performance as an AI judge, jury, and executioner. Is this screen-life thriller actually a hidden gem, or is it the worst movie of 2026? We're discussing the shocking twist, the revenge plot, the OJ Simpson parallels, the script's wild swings between AI commentary and criminal justice critique, and whether director Timur Bekmambetov's bold cinematic experiment actually paid off. If you loved Missing or Searching, this one's in your wheelhouse — and if you hated it, trust us, we fought about it too.

    In this explosive episode of WatchSkip+, hosts Cupcake (Jose) and TheWildabeast (Mike) deliver their most divided review yet of the 2026 sci-fi thriller Mercy, starring Chris Pratt and Rebecca Ferguson. Directed by Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted, Night Watch), this IMAX AI courtroom drama has critics split down the middle. Is Mercy a brilliant screenlife movie exploring artificial intelligence and the future of the justice system, or is it the worst script of 2026? Our hosts debate Chris Pratt's casting, Rebecca Ferguson's AI judge performance, the film's real-time 90-minute format, and whether this thriller succeeds as social commentary on AI technology. If you loved Missing, Searching, Unfriended, or Bekmambetov's previous screenlife films, you need to hear this heated discussion. Plus: comparisons to Hypnotic, thoughts on the cast including Kali Reis and Kenneth Choi, cinematography analysis, and why this might be the most controversial movie review of the year.

    THE visionary zombie franchise 28 Years Later ROARS BACK with the BONE TEMPLE sequel.

This spoiler-free review (no need to skip chapters or exit out before the end) explores the second of the proposed trilogy in the “28 Days…” franchise, featuring powerhouse performances from Ralph Fiennes and Jack O'Connell in a brutal, visceral horror film that balances intense gore with compelling human drama. Does this sequel, written by Alex Garland who wrote “28 Days Later” and “28 Years Later”, elevate the infected zombie genre with thought-provoking themes about society, survival, and humanity or is it just a cash grab sequel that plays more like an apocalyptic soap opera?

    Episode 151: DUST BUNNY

    THE LAST WATCH SKIP PLUS EPISODE OF SEASON THREE AND OF 2025! DON’T LOOK UNDER THE BED…..THE DUST BUNNY MIGHT EAT YOU!!!! Dave from Raiders of the Podcast joins WillDaBeast and Cupcake for the last episode of 2025 (and Season Three) to review Dust Bunny, the feature directing debut of Bryan Fuller, the creative wunderkind behind Heroes, Pushing Daisies, and Hannibal. Starring Hannibal himself, Mads Mikkelson, Sophie Sloan, David Dastmalchian, and one Sigourney Weaver, this hybrid fairy-tale-actioner plays like “Amelie” meets “Luc Besson’s The Professional” meets "John Wick". Is Fuller’s creative brilliance (one that has seen him leaving many a high profile project) perfect for this kind of film, or like his imagination, is there just too much going on to be fully successful?  Don’t step on the floor, make a wish, and swallow the new Watch Skip Plus WHOLE! *Please spread the word and subscribe on Spotify and YouTube…we want to be THE movie review destination for you all in 2026!!!!

    Episode 150: FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY’S 2

    FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY’S IS BACK WITH A SEQUEL…BUT IS IT A SNOOZER OR A SMASHER? ALSO…WHO ASKED FOR THIS?!!?!? Mike joins a very glossy lipped Cupcake to review Cupcake’s future husband - Josh Hutcherson’s - new movie - Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, the sequel to the 2023 original, based on the games and stories written by Christian-conservative Trump Supporter Scott Cawthon. With director Emma Tammi and fellow castmembers Elizabeth Lail, Piper Rubio and Matthew Lillard returning along with some new actors (Skeet Ulrich, McKenna Grace, and Teo Briones), the sequel has buzz and anticipation. But ultimately is this second chapter worthy of the hype (and a possible bridge to a threequel?) or will it make anyone unfamiliar with the source material go running screaming in the other direction?
