    Episode 173: Steven Spielberg's Discloure Day

    Spielberg, aliens, and a CGI fox that should be tried for war crimes. Welcome to Disclosure Day. Cupcake and Mike review Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day, starring Emily Blunt, Josh O'Connor, Colin Firth, Colman Domingo, and Eve Hewson — a North by Northwest-meets-Close Encounters conspiracy thriller about what happens when the government finally admits aliens are real. Written by David Koepp, scored by John Williams, shot by Janusz Kaminski — this is about as classic-Spielberg a creative team as it gets. So why does this conversation get so heated? Is Spielberg "too old for this"? Why are Mike and Jose deeply split on Emily Blunt and Josh O'Connor performances? Is the third act really the humanity unifying resolution or did a legendary filmmaker shit the bed? Spoiler free for your pleasure! - - - - - - - - - - WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS!

    Episode 172: Masters of the Universe

    Masters of the Universe (2026) | Flash Gordon Meets The Office (We Mean That as a Compliment) It's not a good movie. It is, however, a great time — and Cupcake and WillDaBeast are ready to make the case. Travis Knight's Masters of the Universe has everything: a jacked Nicholas Galitzine, a scenery-devouring Jared Leto as Skeletor, Alison Brie going full Evil-Lyn, and a tone so chaotic it somehow circles back around to charming. Cupcake and WillDaBeast dig into what works (almost everything once they hit Eternia), what doesn't (that 30-minute prologue needs to go), and why this film is the Madame Web of the summer — in the best possible way. - - - - - - - - - - WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS!

    Episode 171: BACKROOMS spoiler free

    A 20-year-old YouTube filmmaker. An A24 deal. A creepypasta that broke the internet. So why does Backrooms feel like baby’s first David Lynch? Cupcake and Mike break down Kane Parsons’ feature debut — the kid who turned a 4chan liminal space into 3 million subscribers and a shot at the big screen. The visuals? Stunning. Renata Reinsve? Unreal. The script? That’s where things get complicated. Featuring Chiwetel Ejiofor, Mark Duplas, and Finn Bennett. If you loved The Blair Witch Project, Severance, or A24’s recent run of prestige horror, this one’s worth your time — debate included. - - - - - - - - - - WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS!

    OBSESSION SPOILER'D — The Ending, Bear's Villain Arc & Why Indy Navarrete Deserves Her Flowers Full spoilers are in play (even in the description), so if you haven't seen Obsession yet, go watch it and come back. We'll wait. Jose and Mike are joined by Kevin Matthews of Raiders of the Podcast and E.f. Contentment to do a full critical analysis and movie breakdown of Curry Barker's debut feature. We're talking the One Wish Willow mythology, what actually happens at the end (that second snap matters), why Bear is the villain of his own story, and why Indy Navarrete deserves serious awards conversation alongside Toni Collette and Mia Goth in the horror performance hall of fame. This one gets under your skin — and we're here for it. Catch the spoiler-free episode first if you haven't. JUMP IN AND GET OBSESSSED! - - - - - - - - - - WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS!

    Episode 170: OBSESSION

    Obsession (2025) | Does Curry Barker's Divisive Horror Live Up to the Hype? ft. Raiders of the Podcast & EF Contentment Jose (Cupcake) and Mike (WillDaBeast) bring back two beloved pod guests — Kevin from Raiders of the Podcast and E.f. Contentment — for a spoiler-free review of Obsession (2025), the polarizing TIFF sensation from YouTube filmmaker Curry Barker, now distributed by Blumhouse. Part Gen Z Fatal Attraction, part Ari Aster descent-into-dread, Obsession arrives loaded with hype, and the crew debates whether it earns every bit of it. Starring Michael Johnston and a star-making Indy Navarrete, this is a horror film with layers: a monkey's paw premise modernized into something raw, uncomfortable, and genuinely hard to shake. Imagine Hereditary meets May meets Fresh — and you're still not quite there. The Boyz cover Barker's origin story (including his debut $800 found footage film Milk & Serial), the film's consent and mental health subtext, and whether Indy Navarrete is the next Mia Goth.

    169b: SPOILER'D Mortal Kombat 2

    MK2 Full Spoiler Breakdown: Did This Sequel Fix the Franchise or Double Down on Its Mistakes? FATALITY-level spoilers incoming! Cupcake, Mike (WillDaBeast), and returning guest Lucky Bri go deep on Mortal Kombat 2 (2026), directed by Simon McQuoid and starring Karl Urban as the washed-up action hero turned reluctant fighter Johnny Cage. We cover the good (the Baraka fight sequence, Kitana's emotional revenge arc, the Kung Lao portal fight), the bad (the script's logic holes, Kitana suddenly fighting for Earthrealm, Scorpion's tacked-on return), and the very ugly (illogical plot twists, the endless revenant resurrection loop that drains every death of stakes). We also debate whether the franchise should just lean into being a 90-minute fight movie and stop reaching for Game of Thrones-esque mythology. Two of us walked out calling it a watch, one a BIG skip. Listen to find out who's who. - - - - - - - - - - WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS!
