    Episode 167: Mother Mary

    We Saw Mother Mary and Oh My God — Spoiler-Free Review We were supposed to review another film this week, one that also featured a pop star with a title starting with "M". Then A24 dropped Mother Mary — and honestly? Best pivot we've ever made! David Lowery's Mother Mary stars Anne Hathaway as a pop star on the cusp of her comeback, pulled back into the orbit of her estranged best friend and former costume designer, played by Michaela Coel. What sounds like a celebrity drama slowly reveals itself as something far more raw, strange, and beautiful. If you loved Black Swan, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, or anything in A24's weirder corner of their catalog, this one is for you. Jose and Mike share their spoiler-free takes with just genuine enthusiasm and a whole lot of feelings about Anne Hathaway, Michaela Coel, the music (by FKA Twigs, Charli XCX, and Jack Antonoff, and that FKA Twigs sequence. Verdicts are in, and let's just say we didn't leave disappointed. - - - - - - - - - - WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS! FOLLOW/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE/REVIEW/LOVE Email us: WatchSkipPlus@gmail.com Be kind. Be open.

    166b: SPOILER'D Normal / Lee Cronin's The Mummy

    SPOILER'D: Bob Odenkirk Fights a Town & Lee Cronin Fights His Own Script No spoiler-free zone here — we're going all the way in. Jose and Mike break down two of 2026's most surprising genre entries back to back. First up: Ben Wheatley's Normal, where Bob Odenkirk rolls into a small town as an interim sheriff and slowly realizes every single person around him is armed, paid off, and protecting a Yakuza treasure vault. We talk about what makes this feel like a grounded, gorier version of Nobody and how Wheatley's genre-blending sensibility makes Normal feel like the neo-noir Western we didn't know we needed. Then we pivot to Lee Cronin's The Mummy, the divisive body horror family drama that's also an exorcism film that's also a Sam Raimi Evil Dead riff that's also a revenge movie. We love Cronin, and there's real craft here, but we dig into why the film's identity crisis keeps it from landing as hard as it could. From the Nazmaranian demon mythology to the dentures scene to that wild epilogue, nothing is off limits. GET INTO OUR NEW SPOILER'D BREAKDOWN! - - - - - - - - - - WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS!

    Episode 166: NORMAL / LEE CRONIN'S THE MUMMY

    Normal & The Mummy: A Double Feature Worth Your Time (Spoiler-Free) | WatchSkip+ Cupcake and Mike are doing something a little different this week — a genuine double feature review, clocking in under 30 minutes. First, they dig into Normal (2025), the new Ben Wheatley action-comedy written by Derek Kolstad and Bob Odenkirk. Is it just Nobody again? Not even close — and the guys break down why this deeply weird, gory, surprisingly soulful film deserves your attention in theaters right now. Then they turn to Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2025), the Blumhouse/Atomic Monster horror that has the internet divided. Jack Reynor leads a cast through something that plays less like a classic mummy tale and more like a psychological body horror spiral in the vein of Evil Dead Rise and Pet Sematary. Both hosts have verdicts. Neither one will spoil a thing — that's what Sunday's SPOILER'D episode is for. - - - - - - - - - - WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS!

    165b: SPOILER'D Faces of Death (2026)

    SPOILER'D: Faces of Death (2025) — Copycat Killers, Train Girls & the Internet as Monster Full spoilers, full chaos. Jose, Mike, and guest Brian from Lucky Find Comics break down every gruesome detail of IFC/Shudder's Faces of Death remake — from Dacre Montgomery's twitchy, OCD-informed performance to the question of whether that final girl ending earns the whole messy ride. They dig into the movie's fascinating meta premise (a killer remaking the original death tapes), the De Palma split screen that should've happened more, the Don't F**k With Cats second act that genuinely works, and the bumbling cops that nearly tank the third. Brian brings his true crime psychology lens to the villain's motivation, and the crew debates whether Margot's haunting final upload is a victory or the beginning of something darker. Also on the table: the Exorcist taxi shot, the Charli XCX cameo, the lipstick knife backstory nobody asked for but Brian delivered anyway, and the Shudder franchise potential that could make this the next VHS.

    Is the Faces of Death Reimagining Worth It? Spoiler Free w/ Guest Brian Jose, Mike, and returning guest Brian from Luck Key Finds Comics take on the 2025 reimagining of Faces of Death, itself the notorious 1978 Mondo cult film that everyone whispered about but nobody's parents would let them watch. Directors Daniel Goldhaber and Isa Mazzei (Cam, How to Blow Up a Pipeline) modernize the concept in a big way, and the result is... complicated. We break down the cast (Dacre Montgomery (Stranger Things), Barbie Ferreira (Euphoria), Josie Tota, Jermaine Fowler, and Charli XCX), the Shudder/IFC acquisition, and whether the third act holds up or falls apart. Three opinions. No spoilers. Come back for the SPOILER'D breakdown to find out why it’s a clever reboot but maybe not entirely successful. - - - - - - - - - - WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS!

Directed by Kristoffer Borgli (Sick of Myself, Dream Scenario) and produced by Ari Aster, this is the anti-rom-com you didn't see coming and are not ready for. Think Force Majeure meets Marriage Story with a twist that will make you want to cancel your next dinner party game night. Featuring standout performances from Alana Haim and Mamadou Athie, a score by Daniel Pemberton, and cinematography by Arseni Khachaturan, this film is stacked, controversial, and downright incendiary.

    163b: SPOILER'D They Will Kill You

    SPOILER'D: They Will Kill You — The Ending, The Pig Head & Why the Immortal Twist Works Full spoilers. No mercy. Cupcake and Mike are diving all the way into They Will Kill You, Kirill Sokolov's gloriously unhinged action-horror film starring Zazie Beetz, Patricia Arquette, Heather Graham, and Tom Felton. We break down every major beat: the burning axe scene (an all-timer), Heather Graham's rogue eyeball, the hotel's satanic hierarchy, what the devil's pig head actually means, and that ending. We also talk about the film's surprisingly sharp class commentary, the Get Out-adjacent themes of power and sacrifice, and why this is one of the most fun hard-R genre films in recent memory if you go in with the right mindset. Think Kill Bill's gleeful brutality meets the John Wick hotel mythology meets Big Trouble in Little China's "just catch up" storytelling energy — and you're in the right zip code. ─────────────────────────────── 📺 SPOILER-FREE REVIEW LINK → https://open.spotify.com/episode/6ILFdsGarpm8nGZ44C46lK?si=90ba109391d5473f- - - - - - - - - - WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS!
