Pete leads Tommy and Kyle on a journey of discovery... adventure... and learning a bit about themselves in the doing.

But first, we talk about Bones And All, Monster High the Movie and its odd similarity to Netflix's entry into the space, a quick review of Darby and the Dead, and toss in a dash of "what would you do if you were Henry Cavill today?"

From there, Skinamarink is in the trailer rundown, so look out for that. The Diabolical is on deck for games, and we have a Very Important Announcement about the future of this very show.

Tommy’s Trailer: Skinamarink Trailer
Kyle’s Trailer: Spider Man: Across the Spider-verse
Pete’s Trailer: Infinity Pool

But first, Krissy watched Spirited! on Apple TV+! Pete's still crowing about The Peripheral on Amazon Primeand Rings of Power on Amazon Prime. Kyle amplifies The Council of Elrond Podcast as a way to listen to Brits help us remember what's going on as we watch fake things throwing things at fake things.

Mandy Kaplan leads her march across the alps with Tommy Metz and Krissy Lenz on board. This week: trailers, a Game of Logs, and a list of films designed to give you hope.

First up, Tommy's finally watching Reboot on Hulu and likes it. Krissy is watching The Rock because you just can't get enough of the Rock as a tourist attraction. Mandy's in on White Lotus Season 2 on HBO, but is kind of distracted by The Vow, on HBO as well, also with a season 2.

Did you hear? Jason Blum and James Wan are talking about tying the knot as studios, making a powerful indie horror house.

Mandy’s Trailer: The People We Hate at the Wedding
Tommy’s Trailer: The Son

Pete Wright heads up Kyle Olson and Tommy Metz for a chat through Saturdays and Matinées, the works of William Gibson, kitcheny and mystery trailers, The Diabolical, and lists of movies we'll never watch again.

Andor is over and Kyle has things to say, like, we're still trying to convince Tommy that he should actually watch it. In the mean time, Tommy has been watching Barbarian and is both completely convinced that the script was unsalable to studios while also being a fantastic finished film. Pete waxes lovingly about William Gibson's work as a lead-in to a conversation on Amazon's adaptation of The Peripheral, which is, so far, so good.

We've got a game of The Diabolical that has the gents doing... accents(?). But first up, Trailers!

Tommy’s Trailer: 1-800-HOT-NITE
Kyle’s Trailer: Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery

Tommy Metz III leads Krissy Lenz and Mandy Kaplan on a matinée tour of movies and television magic that ends in a recast-a-thon of movies that definitely should be musicals.

But first, the watchlist. Tommy and Mandy finished The Patient and loved it. Smile is middling fare according to Krissy, but she's an island on who's seen it on the panel just yet. We have a significant detour around Don't Worry Darling which you might even classify as "gossip corner."

Mandy’s Trailer: The White Lotus — Season 2
Tommy’s Trailer: Next Exit
Krissy’s Trailer: Poker Face

THE LIST!

This week the team brings a list of movies which really and truly should be adapted into musicals. But they have a twist! They were challenged not only to bring the movie, but to bring a principal cast member and the first song. Which, of course, they overdid. It's awesome.

Mandy’s List

Practical Magic - Zoe Kravitz & Zendaya - “How Do You Spell Sister?”
Steel Magnolia - "Drink Your Juice” - Jane Kracowzki, Taraji P. Henson, Melissa McCarthy
The Princess Bride - “Not Grandpa” - Zendaya & Harry Styles

Tommy’s List

Whiplash - JK Simmons & Miles Teller - “Cymbal Face”
Forrest Gump - “Chocolates and Shrimp” - Will Ferrell
Stand By Me - “Do You Want To See A Body” - Jacob Tremblay

Krissy’s List

The Shining - Jensen Ackles - “Welcome to the Overlook”
What We Do In The Shadows - Cast of Stranger THings - “So Much Blood!”
Labyrinth - Maya Hawke & Lady Gaga & Lil Nas Ex - “It’s not fair!”

The indomitable Kyle Olson leads Tommy Metz III and Pete Wright for a tour through franchises, trailers with numbers after them (mostly), and a game of pitches that leaves them in stitches!

But first, Tommy's new short Static is in full festival mode, so he isn't watching much other than other people's horrors. Pete's watching Andor pretty hard because it's fantastic, and we haven't talked enough about it on this show week to week.

It was a big franchise trailer week, though, so in light of Creed and John Wick successors, Kyle picked an indie doc. Not so on brand after all?

Kyle’s Trailer: Claydream
Tommy’s Trailer: John Wick Chapter 4
Pete’s Trailer: Creed III

THE LIST!

This week's list brings you movies that are part of multiple-adaptation francises. Was it a book, opera, comic, or something else before it was a movie? Then it's fair game for this list.

Kyle’s List

Evil Dead
The Three Musketeers
Carrie

Tommy’s List

And Then There Were None
Hamlet
Intolerable Cruelty

Pete’s List

American Psycho
Rent
Sweeny Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Mandy Kaplan leads a merry band of Krissy Lenz and Pete Wright on a journey through holiday musical magic, a game of titles, and a list of iconic movie character names!

We start with an ode to Angela Lansbury, whose death this week marks the end of an era for a Dame expert at pivoting her career with the times.

Mandy's still hate-watching stuff, but mostly it's just all football. Krissy checked out Hocus Pocus 2 and as a result, is now calling for a full Midleraissance. Pete is watching sexist and homophobic car TV from 20 years ago but MOSTLY wants to talk about the meta finale of season 1 of She-Hulk, which Mandy and Krissy have not seen. It's pretty one-sided, but hopefully, you listen and want to check it out yourself because it's pretty fun.

Mandy’s Trailer: Spirited
Krissy’s Trailer: Violent Night
Pete’s Trailer: Roald Dahl's Matilda the Musical

THE LIST!

This week's list is a celebration of great character names. What makes a name stick in your head? What makes it something you repeat? What makes the character enter the public consciousness?

Mandy’s List

Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory - Veruca Salt
Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark - Indiana Jones
Happy Gilmore - Shooter McGavin

Krissy’s List

Three Amigos! - El Guapo
The Princess Bride - Inigo Montoya
Ferris Bueller's Day Off - Ferris Bueller

Pete’s List

The Terminator - Sarah Connor
The Usual Suspects - Keyser Söze

Andy Nelson steps in as pinch hitter leading Ocean Murff and Krissy Lenz in this week's Saturday Matinée.

Now, I'm going to be honest with you here. I'm your omniscient narrator but I've been on vacation. I didn't edit this show and it's just been handed to me and needs to be published. They haven't given me time to listen to it so I have absolutely no idea what they talked about. Therefore, I'm going to take a stab at it and see what has come out of this episode.

I bet Ocean brings up Andor on Disney+. The first three episodes have dropped and they had time to watch them. If they haven't, that's entertainment podcasting malpractice. Andy watched the Wedding Banquet and gave it four stars. I bet he brings that up. But if he doesn't bring up his 1-star review of Miami Connection, I'm calling his mother. I bet Krissy goes deeply against her brand and praises a recent viewing of Pearl.

All that out of the way, here are the trailers.

Krissy’s Trailer: Luckiest Girl Alive
Andy’s Trailer: Hellraiser (2022)
Ocean’s Trailer: Babylon

THE LIST!

As for the list this week, the gang was charged with coming up with a list of films featuring: A Great Performance from Unexpected Performers... you know, performances just like Ken Jeong in The Hangover isn't.

Mandy Kaplan and Kyle Olson join Pete Wright for TV, Movies, a list of great movies with terrible names, and THE DIABOLICAL.

We’re starting with a quick review of Rings of Power, which is still a thing, with a dash of She-Hulk and Suspicion, but football is back so Mandy is all-in on the gridiron.

Trailers

Pete’s Trailer: The Inspection
Kyle’s Trailer: Willow
Mandy’s Trailer: I Love My Dad

Ocean Murff leads Kyle Olson and Tommy Metz on a ride through matinée morning moviedom with new trailers, a game of villains, and a list of movies to dine by!

But they start with the watchlist. On deck: Scooby Do, believe it or not. Turns out, there's more to it than meets the eye. Tommy watched Elvis, which is apparently Luhrmantastic, but he's really looking forward to Barbarian. Ocean has words about Day Shift, the vampire union movie. And they have some pretty darned good things to say about the latest season of The Umbrella Academy.

Kyle’s Trailer: Wendell & Wild
Tommy’s Trailer: Tár
Ocean’s Trailer: Amsterdam

THE LIST!

A fine Saturday to you all! This week on the show Pete Wright leads Kyle Olson and Ray DeLancey on a journey of grown ups liking kid things.

First things first, we're talking about two Star Trek properties: Star Trek Lower Decks, and Star Trek Prodigy. Sure, both are cartoons. Both are just plum wacky. But both also offer fuel to the overall Star Trek universe and with reports that ships and characters from at least one of these shows is making way for the next season of Strange New Worlds, we're eager to see what comes next.

Sandman is aging well on us. House of the Dragon is aging well for us so far. Does that bode well for this weekend's launch of Rings of Power over on Amazon?

The new trailer for Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey dropped this week leading to a whole lot of hand-wringing over how these beloved characters are being used now that they've fallen into the public domain.

Trailers

Ray’s Trailer: Pearl
Kyle’s Trailer: Weird
Pete’s Trailer: The English

THE LIST!

Technically, this week's list is "Movies that are for kids that you secretly like as an adult". But we reject the premise. As three people who just spent fifteen minutes talking about how great Star Trek cartoons are, we're proudly in the pro-kids-movies camp. So we give you a selection of movies that we miss from the kids and family oeuvre.

Ok, Tommy made good on his trailer pick last week by heading out to the theater and seeing Fall, which was fair and terrifying. Mandy watched She-Hulk. Any bets on what she thought? Quick... before you listen. Post it Discord. We're watching you so don't cheat. Plus, Bad Sisters because sisters gotta fight.

Pete Wright, Mandy Kaplan, and Tommy Metz are back with big screen and small screen takes, a blockbuster round of the movie game, terrorizing trailers, and a list of much-panned movies that we love anyway!

First things first, Tommy gives permission to love The Sandman. Mandy does the same for Blackbird and The Most Hated Man on the Internet. Pete has lower praise for Surface but saves his powder for Luck, a film that tries so hard to be kind it makes you hate yourself for not loving it.

Trailers

Mandy’s Trailer: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law
Pete’s Trailer: The Greatest Beer Run Ever (And along the way, Pabst Blue Ribbon did a documentary short on the true story so you can check out all these guys telling their story, made in 2015: Pabst Blue Ribbon Presents: The Greatest Beer Run Ever)
Tommy’s Trailer: Fall

THE LIST!

This week’s list is a parade of misguided movie disdain. We were handed the task of uncovering movies that are widely panned but that we like anyway, and Mandy and Pete delivered. Tommy... was present, but struggled to reach the very bottom of the barrel.

Mandy’s List

1. Paul Blart: Mall Cop

2. Grease 2

Tommy Metz III, Rob Kubasko, Krissy Lenz — Sat, 25 Jun 2022 02:00:00 -0700

🌄

Tommy Metz leads an all-star cast of Krissy Lenz and Rob(by) Kubasko(z) in this SatMat Season Finale with trailers, games, and a list of movies you're too young to watch.

But first, Krissy misunderstood the assignment and saw the wrong Elvis movie. Don't worry, though, the mix-up leads to hijinx and inspiration for not one, but two new spin-off podcasts involving pineapples and exhaustive rewatches of other wrong Elvis movies.

Rob is healing, and used the time to catch up on a lot. Rob's Homework: Red Eye, No Time to Die, Stranger Things, Strange New Worlds, Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Along the way, Netflix is in trouble. They just fired another 300 people. Still, the stream screen is performing just fine, as more people are watching Stranger Things and Obi-Wan than Top Gun Maverick or Jurassic World. Netflix has responded by piloting their password-sharing crackdown. "Excellent" timing.

Meanwhile, tv+ dropped some serious cash on their Ted Lasso-esque plan to own all MLS with a ten-year ownership deal of MLS distribution with no black-outs. Says Eddy Cue (that's Apple's SVP of Services), “For the first time in the history of sports, fans will be able to access everything from a major professional sports league in one place.” In the history of sports, Mr. Cue? Wethinks you are a touch too proud. But still, cool for football hooligans.

Krissy's Trailer: The Menu
Rob's Trailer: Stranger Things Season 4B
Tommy's Trailer: Smile

THE LIST!

This week's list takes us back in time to the moments we were somehow allowed to see movies that were way out of our league: Movies we were too young to watch.

Pete, Kyle, and Tommy are in the Saturday Matinée this week for vamps on planes, VHS nostalgia, and a watchlist of movies about fans and fanatics!

Pete and Kyle did their homework and have a report on their watch of Blood Red Sky. Even more, Kyle watched Always and reports it might have been better had there been vampires on those planes. Tommy's been Benjamin Buttoning his rewatch of Mission: Impossible and just wrapped up his watch of "Under the Banner of Heaven."

We have no game this week, and in its stead, Kyle brings a walk down memory lane with a grueling inquiry into our film history.

It's the Star Wars Celebration Special! Rob and Kyle went to Anaheim last week and are back to report on their experience during their four days celebrating all things Star Wars.

But first, we dig into Stranger Things, Death on the Nile, Kenobi, and a Trailer Reckoning.

Ocean Murff, Krissy Lenz, Pete Wright — Sat, 21 May 2022 02:00:00 -0700

Ocean Murff heads a trio of Krissy Lenz and Pete Wright in what is ultimately an episode heavy with Top Gun: Maverick enthusiasm. They dig into Tom Cruise's stunt mania, dragging the cast into the cockpits to film the thing, while Krissy cements her position as a Top Gun Flat Earther.

Elsewhere, Margo Robbie is taking the lead on a European Ocean's Eleven movie set in the 60's. Kids in the Hall are back on Amazon Prime, Ocean wants more Wonder Twins because he can't have them, and Pete sings the praises of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds sitting atop Slow Horses.

Ocean’s Trailer: Crimes of the Future
Krissy’s Trailer: Spiderhead
Pete’s Trailer: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law

THE LIST!

The crew was presented with an either/or this week in an effort to determine favorite films in which a sequel or remake improved the franchise over the original, or made it worse. At least this round is full of steals.

Ray DeLancey, Rob Kubasko, Kyle Olson — Sat, 14 May 2022 02:00:00 -0700

Ray DeLancey, Kyle Olson, and Rob Kubasko are on the big show this week and they bring the fantasy.

First, apparently, Sonic 2 is fun. If you have a family to serve as an excuse that keeps you from having to watch it by yourself, you should see it. We're still watching Moon Knight, Picard, and Strange New Worlds, and this weekend we're doing a little Tatum with the Paramount+ drop of The Lost City.

And, did you hear? Walken is joining Dune.

We've got a little Star Wars stuff coming with the impending release of Kenobi, and you heard it here first: The new Lego Star Wars game slaps.

Ray's Trailer: Unhuman
Kyle's Trailer: Resident Evil
Rob's Trailer: Avatar: The Way of Water

THE LIST!

Last week, Ocean, Krissy, and Tommy fought off sadness by paying forward a list of movies in which you end up rooting for the bad guy, or unhappy ending. And you know what? It turns out we're real downers who love movies like this.

Ocean Murff navigates Krissy Lenz and Tommy Metz III through pirate-infested waters to lands where crimes take place in LDS land and Andrew Garfield just tries to solve everything while being awesome in every way. Plus there’s plenty of Anatomy of a Scandal to discuss. We talk trailers – most of which Tommy stole like the pirate he is – and play a Cinco de Mayo game! Plus, there’s the list with the weirdest love scenes.

Tommy’s Trailer: Don’t Worry Darling
Krissy’s Trailer: Weird: The Al Yankovic Story

Kyle Olson leads Mandy Kaplan and Pete Wright through a parade in praise of understudies, Severance, a game of Double-Cross, and a list of great violence in film!

In spite of the fact that no one else on the show has seen 'Severance' on tv+, Pete shows of his super-obscure merch. Who is really to blame for not being able to catch up on the show? The Emmys, that's who. They're to blame by the crazy over-abundance of stuff to watch, so says Variety.

Mandy's Trailer: I Love that For You

Mandy Kaplan, Ray DeLancey, Ocean Murff — Mon, 25 Apr 2022 02:00:00 -0700

Mandy Kaplan leads Ocean Murff and Ray DeLancey in this week's Saturday Matinée, and they begin with Netflix's Russia problem. Yes, the company lost subscribers in spite of promising gains last quarter, and sure, there's a likely a password sharing problem. But could it be, possibly, and we're just spit-balling here: they are spending too much money on bad movies making the good movies hard to find? I guess we'll never know.

Spider-verse II is getting a delay. We're hopeful they are just tightening things around the edges and it doesn't have anything to do with that weird trailer cut-scene they released a while back.

Affleck and Damon are coming together for a Nike/Jordan film. Don't worry, as far as we've heard, there is no de-aged Michael Jordan in it.

Ocean's Trailer: Alice
Ray's Trailer: Thor: Love & Thunder
Mandy's Trailer: Flight Attendant Season 2

THE LIST!

Ok, look. If we're honest, some of these aren't exactly sequels, rather reboots. But since we don't want to get in a big fight about it in show notes, we're going to let it be: Sequels better than their predecessors ahoy!

Kyle Olson, Pete Wright, Tommy Metz III — Sat, 16 Apr 2022 02:00:00 -0700

Happy US Tax Day everyone! Ok, it was yesteday as we share our Saturdays with you but makes us think about tax movies all the same. This week, Pete Wright hosts Kyle Olson and Tommy Metz III and we kick things off with Tommy’s strong feelings about The Secret and parking your car.

The publisher of EW has announced that April 2022 will be the last print edition of the magazine as they double-down on digital. We talk about business units, which is why this podcast has chapters that you can skip through.

Kyle wants to talk about Nimona and the long and winding road the film has taken to find its way from Disney's fear of LGBTQ+ and over to Netflix. A relief for what looks to be a cool property. Go read the book.

Tommy has seen Ambulance and shares his love for drone cinematography. Here's the studio video on it. But here's Potato Jet's vlog on it in which he interviews the drone camera operators, Bay, and cast. It's bananas.

Tommy’s Trailer: Russian Doll Season 2
Kyle’s Trailer: Stranger Things Season 4

Andy Nelson wishes you all a fine top of YOUR mornings in the big chair with Tommy Metz III and an about-time-finally return to our very own Ray DeLancey this week.

We remember Poitier, but only as an entry into a conversation about the “bizarre and terrible” Oscar ceremony as we pose the question: will the Oscars ever find a way to fix themselves? Ray has a great idea: Let Frank Dreben do it.

Eggers is heading North and has so. much. to. say about making movies with difficult people. Speaking of things that rhyme with “people”, our favorite clown is getting an “IT-quel” from HBOMax! Finally, if you haven’t seen the deleted scene from The Batman, check it out for Joker goodness.

Pete's in the big chair with Krissy and Kyle in tow to talk trailers, catchphrases, and a list of great performances in not-so-great movies!

But we start with 'Halo', the latest live action take on the epic video game franchise. It's a high-dollar operation aiming to make a mark in a history of false starts. Master Chief looks great. Will it hold up?

'Our Flag Means Death' is still worth watching if you're in to that sort of thing. 'Carson' is getting a series order with a trio of names worth keeping an eye on. Nic Cage has been working the last three years to get out of debt. We like him even more now. Oh, and Hans Zimmer gives us a tease of the Dune score performed live.

Krissy has been watching Our Flag Means Death. It's pirates. Funny pirates. Mandy's been watching The Dropout, but really loves Turning Red. Kyle caught The Adam Project and found it meh. But Winning Time? That's a win. Sadly, Will Ferrell and Adam McCay broke up over it.

Pete Wright, Kyle Olson, and Rob Kubasko helm this fine Saturday Matinée. Rob’s still watching Boston Legal, but sounds like he’s about finished and can move on to another hit legal drama. Stay tuned!

Kyle has seen The Batman and has good things to say. No spoilers, but the way he talks about this thing makes us super into it. Did Pattinson really pull it off? The Film Board will be talking about it Saturday evening live.

Pete complains about Kimi some more and recognizes that he's on an island with this one, so he throws a Hail Mary and brings up the time that Scarlett Johansson turns into a USB stick. Sick burn, bro.

There's some good fuel up for trailers this week. Seriously, no scrubs here:

The Oscar nominations are out and this year more than others past, are the nominees more accessible to you where you live?

Analysts are starting to talk more feverishly about the value of small screens in getting small movies seen. Julia Alexander and Jason Snell poke at that particular dragon in the latest episode of Downstream with a nod to this piece from Parrot Analytics. Both are interesting and point to a place down the road where we see greater importance in home viewership for anything that doesn’t wear tights or blow stuff up.

New voices on the show this week! We’re thrilled to welcome Jay Shepard and Josh Stolte to the TNR rotation. They join us from their voluminous podcastery on the Retrozap podcast network including the Superhero Suite, Scarlet Velocity: A Flash Podcast, and ENJOY STUFF!

Kristin Bell leads a fun romp in The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window. Big swings? Hilarious tone? Uncertain parody? Genuine suspense? Might just be a bit of everything... for everyone?

Krissy checked out Wold Like Me in a follow-up to her trailer pick from a few weeks back and turns out, it finished before she did, and that's a good thing.

Kyle is watching Laugh In! like a cultural Indiana Jones.

Tommy Metz, Rob Kubasko, Pete Wright — Mon, 31 Jan 2022 02:00:00 -0800

Ah, yes, another Saturday Matinée is upon us. This week, Tommy Metz purportedly hosts Pete Wright and Rob Kubasko in a rousing round of list-making and brain-breaking trivia connections.

Did you know they made a reboot of Mad About You? We didn't either. Not until Rob found it on Amazon Prime... along with the rest of the classic Helen Hunt/Paul Reiser sitcom.

Tommy's been watching Cheer so he can find a way to get on mat. It's a rough season for the teams what with COVID and bone-breaking and all that hullabaloo.

We're pretty gung-ho about Peacemaker over on HBOMax, but we're REALLY obsessed with the show's opening credits. If you want to dig a little deeper, check out this Billboard piece on the nearly-washed-out Norwegian metal band, Wig Wam, and how James Gunn fixed everything by picking 'Do You Wanna Taste It' as the show's iconic theme.

Rob's Trailer: Murderville
Tommy's Trailer: The Black Phone
Pete’s Trailer: Ted K

True story: Tommy was supposed to be directing a big fancy movie this weekend but just hours before we sat down to record, it all fell apart because COVID. So, tell him sorry when you get a chance and if you have a fancy mansion location that isn't just oozing pathogen and happens to be in L.A., hit him up. He'll be over in a few hours, bonded, crewed, and camera-ready.

Also, we play the movie game. Three rounds. They are painful because we're not very good at it. Enjoy yelling at your podcast device for about fifteen minutes.

THE LIST!

The knuckleheads last week handed us a list mystery: find movies in which rock stars play themselves in movies. Don't worry: Tommy got Prince on here. The list was therefore considered complete in round one.

Join Mandy Kaplan, Steve Sarmento, and Pete Wright for today’s award season SatMat!

That’s right, the SAG awards have dropped and we have some opinions. But then we get lost in dishing on Leto’s performance in that Gucci thing and things come off the rails. Don’t worry though, we do manage to bring it back around to aging on film thanks to Carrie Bradshaw and crew vis the Golden Girls. Don’t worry, we’re not the only one’s talking about it. The Today Show is, too. Finally, Apple TV+ is moving into Kong with a series follow-up to the last Kong film and it’s a mixed bag.

Of course, we’re hobbled in our journey through movies with the best monsters since Rob, of course, made sure that our creatures had to be anti-sapien. Alas, we bring Best Non-Human Animal/Creature.

Mandy Kaplan, Steve Sarmento, and Tommy Metz take over the Saturday Matinée this week. What’s on deck? Tommy loves Search Party and Yellow Jackets. So there.

Is The Matrix Resurrections laughably bad or some sort of genius? Some people clearly think the former. As for us...?

Don’t Look Up. Hrm... Uh... Yeah...

Betty Davis? Peter Bogdanovich? And the news broke after we recorded, but Sidney Poitier too? What an awful start to 2022.

Pete Wright, Ocean Murff, and Tommy Metz head up the Saturday Matinée for our penultimate episode of 2021. What’s on deck? Ocean and Tommy make an able plea that we all watch Succession and now’s just the right time during a season break. Along the way, we talk about the latest Vulture piece suggesting that HBOMax won the year with their day-date Warner Bros strategy, directors be damned.

The latest Potterverse entry trailer — Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledorehas dropped fresh with recasting and a distinctly Azkaban feel. Will it live up to the original series third ep?

Pete’s mad about retreads. Do we really need to know how you met your father?

We try to talk about Mike Flanagan, because Tom loves him. But it’s a pretty anemic effort. We get there… eventually.

Here’s Keanu Reaves and Carrie-Anne Moss talking about making The Matrix Awakens feature for Epic Games, and crapping on NFTs.

Is there a problem with ABC’s efforts to amp the nostalgia in “Live In Front of a Studio Audience”? You take the good, you take the bad, am I right?

Trailers this week surprise us all as Mandy gets her pick in first with Spidey, Kyle brings a trailer only our Brit friends will be able to watch, and Rob brings Ritchie and a prayer.

Rob and Pete review the week with news, some confusing trailer selections, a not-so-mysterious game of Step-Up, and picks the celebrate over-indulgent performances in film.

In the News

The Expanse is coming back for season six on December 10 and, in what can only be called a true Belter Holiday Miracle, the ninth book was just released too! Tatum is back with Soderbergh and we have some ideas for titles. Red Notice is the most watched thing on the ‘Flix. Reviews of West Side Story are starting to come in and it turns out things are looking pretty darned good. Cara Delevingne is moving into the Building for Season 2. And, Rob delivers a special message to Kyle about Tom Holland.

It’s a big week. Yes, we’re watching some stuff. The Harder They Fall is on the watchlist, along with Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Carnage, and Shang-Chi. Even Red Notice gets a shout-out.

But it’s really all about the Disney+ Marvel slate

Kyle does an able job of leading Ocean and Pete through the massive announcements from Marvel on their small-screen slate coming in 2022 and 2023. Moon Night. Zombies. Echo. Ironheart. Secret Invasion. Hawkeye. Agatha. She-Hulk. More, and more, and more.

Happy Birthday! Ok, not your birthday, unless your birthday is on November 11, and you just hit 10 years old. Cause WE did, just the other day! And now we’re going to wax a bit poetic about a history of talking about movies together.

A Sampling of the Original Crew

Pete Wright, Andy Nelson, Steve Sarmento, and Tommy Metz III join the crew this week to share a peek into the wayback machine. We talk about those first rocky Movies We Like episodes, the first Film Boards, and the community that has come up around this show. But don’t worry, it’s not all about the good ol’ days.

Steve brings news of this weekend’s launch of the IMAX aspect ration on select Marvel movies on Disney+. Twenty-six percent more pixels! We lost Dean Stockwell so we take a podcast knee in his memory. And the first Rust lawsuits are filed, shedding a little more light on the conditions that led to the shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

Four trailers this week run the table from horror to comedy to cowboys, and also the one Steve brought.

Steve’s Trailer: *C’mon C’mon
Steve’s Trailer: The Power of the Dog
Pete’s Trailer: Silent Night
Andy’s Trailer: 8-Bit Christmas

Tommy Metz is back in the big chair this week with Rob Kubasko and Kyle Olson. Kicking off our weekend festivities, Rob leads a rousing celebration of the new DJI Ronin 4D. Seriously, it’s an amazing camera in if you’re at all excited about gear, this thing is bonkers.
Arcade 1up has a new cabinet that GenX gamers will likely appreciate: the T2: Judgment Day machine. Yes, it’s a classic arcade cabinet. But think about it this way. If you own it, NO QUARTERS.
Got $400+ to burn? Check out the Ghostbusters HasLab Plasma Series Spengler’s Proton Pack. Or, at least go look at it and realize that your family would have issues with you spending the money but leave the tab open in your browser, longingly checking it every few days, wondering what it would be like to call yourself a collector, changing your identity accordingly, and still coming to the same, sad, conclusion: $400 is crazy to pay for a proton pack that doesn’t actually include the Ghostbusters Plasma Series Spengler’s Neutrona Wand in the box.
Oh, and surprising everyone, Tom saw Dune… and liked it.
The team brings trailers that are, now surprising no one, on brand.

Rob’s Trailer: Lightyear
Kyle’s Trailer: Cowboy Bebop
Tommy’s Trailer: The Card Counter

Steve Sarmento is in the big chair this week with Mandy Kaplan and Pete Wright. It’s Dune weekend, so of course we’re talking about theaters, box office, and shooting big. There’s a Breakfast Club reboot brewing… just kidding, there isn’t, but we talk about it anyway.

The streamers are trying to make us feel guilty about churning and returning but it turns out we’re doing it anyway. The bigger news this week is over at Netflix as the company deals with a walkout and controversy relating for its handling around the Dave Chapelle special.

Steve and Mandy Freaky Friday’d this week when it comes to trailers. No idea how it happened, but Mandy picked Cena.

Mandy’s Trailer: Peacemaker
Steve’s Trailer: The Lost Daughter

TruStory FM — Sat, 02 Oct 2021 02:00:00 -0700

Rob Kubasko leads our entry into our third century with Mandy Fabian and the apparently-satisfying Kyle Olson.

Mandy's crushing on The Other Two, which is eerily similar-not-similar to Kyle's current fascination, Y: the Last Man. Rob is here to represent a walk through the CBS crime shows of the CBS television network.

Of the more serious news, ScarJo got paid. The Disney-Scarlett Johansson settlement should quiet the media battle as the two sides come to terms on compensation for Black Widow at its streaming/theatrical release earnings.

The BBC is preparing for what they're calling an "explosive" 20th Anniversary of Doctor Who in 2023: Russell T Davies — the producer at the wheel from 2005-2009 — will be coming back for the celebration episode and beyond.

And, near the end of the show, Kyle drops a gem in the form of a podcast: Batman: The Audio Adventures. It's an HBOMax thing, and they team there seems to think you can only get it if you're a subscriber. But then why did they release it as a podcast? We'll never know. But seriously, this cast is a who's who of comedy aces and Jeffry Wright under the cowl? Can't lose.

Let's Do Trailers

Rob's the only one who knows anything about Kurt Warner. Mandy's trailer proves that doesn't matter a bit because even if we don't love sports, we loves us some sports movies. Rob offers snark by way of Hollywood tropes and handsome Rob Lowe. And Kyle brings a trailer that he's actually picked before, but before you turn off the show, don't worry because they've changed it up enough that it appears the filmmakers were preparing for this week and tried to make it a new movie altogether.

Mandy’s Trailer: American Underdog
Rob’s Trailer: Attack of the Hollywood Clichés
Kyle’s Trailer: The Harder They Fall

Games! Rob's Ultimate Movie Monster Show-Down Bracket

"Well, you make a compelling argument."

Rob brings an epic tour of movie monster history in a bracket that ends with a shocking Final Four Match-up between Draculas, Mummies, Frankensteins, and Werewolves.

THE LIST: Annoying Children

No, it's not a great week for the kids. It turns out our trio has strong feelings about the worst children in movies... even if those children weren't out to be the worst. Sometimes, they just can't help it.

2021-09-25 • Saturday Matinée EPISODE 200!

Mandy Kaplan, Pete Wright, Steve Sarmento — Sat, 25 Sep 2021 02:00:00 -0700

It's episode 200 of the Saturday Matinée! A fine how-do-you-do to that. Thanks to everyone who has made our weekend romp so much fun these past four years!

We start with Mandy mad at Steve about Martin. Steve attempt to retaliate by defending his position on 'Below Decks' to a woman who counts among her many interests, 'The Housewives'. It goes about as well as you can imagine.

Trailers this week run the gamut: Our A24 entry puts Denzel in the middle of The Scottish Play adapted and directed by mono-Coen. Pete brings a nightmare circus staring the subject of his very one-sided friendship, Bradly Cooper. And did you forget Spielberg is don't that one Sondheim thing? He is. But you'd be forgiven if you did.

Steve’s Trailer: The Tragedy of Macbeth
Pete’s Trailer: Nightmare Alley
Mandy’s Trailer: West Side Story

Game! Name That Crew!

In keeping with our big 200th show, we're digging through the history of other shows that crossed that 200-episode boundary. Pete starts a bidding war cataloging how many principle characters Mandy and Steve can remember from past US prime time hits.

THE LIST: Save the Cat!

Blake Snyder was a screenwriter who wrote Stop or My Mom will Shoot and Blank Check in the 90s. He also wrote the book Save the Cat: The Last Book on Screenwriting You'll Ever Need in which he coined the phrase that describes the decisive moment the protagonist demonstrates that they are worth rooting for, the moment in which they save the proverbial cat.

It's a controversial concept that has grown in popularity to the point that the Save the Cat 15 beat structure has shaped many Hollywood blockbusters of an age. And, since we have a perfect Save the Cat moment in Ana Lily Amirpour's 2014 film, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, members voted that we talk all about the same moments in other films.

But we're cheeky, so this list is largely full of saving actual cats, not metaphorical cats, and also we pet a dog.

Tommy Metz III, Rob Kubasko, Steve Sarmento — Sat, 18 Sep 2021 02:00:00 -0700

Tommy Metz leads the crew of Steve Sarmento and Rob Kubasko this week in his very first hosting gig. In a follow up to last week, the team is pretty excited about the news of https://geektyrant.com/news/only-murders-in-the-building-renewed-for-season-2-at-hulu leading to one massive question: will anyone want to still live in the building?

Apple's September announcements bring word of a new "Cinematic Mode" in the upcoming iPhones 13 & 13 Pro, leading to more questions of how the device might be used in future film-making. It's cool and all, and you should probably watch the demo video, but there are performance limitations that make it tricky for major motion picture use in that particular mode. Katheryn Bigelow and cinematographer Greig Fraser were hired to do some on-set work with the phones (check out the behind the scenes here) and demonstrated some interesting work. So, if you're looking for a pocket tool that can get the job done, this might be the one for you. Also, your home movies will be pretty sweet.

Rob reports that Arnie and Danny are coming back with Ivan Reitman to do a https://geektyrant.com/news/twins-sequel-triplets-in-the-works-with-arnold-schwarzenegger-and-danny-devito-returning-and-tracy-morgan-signed-on-to-co-star, now with Tracy Morgan.

Let's Do Trailers

On the trailer front, Tommy brings a chamber piece, Rob has the next Marvel/Disney+ joint, and Steve follows Leo into the bathroom for an end-of-the-world panic attack. Remember that time Hawkeye disappointed the Avengers?

Tommy’s Trailer: Mass
Rob's Trailer: Hawkeye
Steve’s Trailer: Don't Look Up

Games! What Line Is That Anyway?

The rules are simple. Tommy created quotes from movies on AFI's Top 100 Films list by taking one line each from two movies, and jamming them together. For example, "Are you looking at me looking at you, kid?"

To earn points, you must be able to name the two movies the quotes are from, and the characters or actors that delivered them. So, Taxi Driver, Casablanca, Travis Bickle (De Niro), and Rick Blaine (Bogart). See that? I would have crushed this game.

The complexity comes in rounds two and three when the lines start coming from three movies or, dare we do it, six!

As a bonus, Steve has promised to develop a recipe for the Dirty Maguire in honor of this game.

THE LIST!

This week, The Next Reel is talking about Goodnight Mommy and the community voted that we talk about "dead animals or pets". So, thanks everybody.

Kyle Olson, Tommy Metz III, Pete Wright — Sat, 11 Sep 2021 03:00:00 -0700

Happy Saturday, Movie Lovers! Pete, Kyle, and Tommy are here to ring in the week's end with talk of movies and TV on the offing. First and foremost, Malignant is coming, and some of us are leaving here and heading right over to the Film Board to talk about it.

Tom and Kyle have thoughts on the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise and which films are worthy (hint: the ones with Craven's involvement). Plus, recommendations to check out 'The Other Two' and 'Only Murderers in the Building'.

Kyle's been watching 'Black Sails'. Seriously you all... did you know this was a Treasure Island prequel? Yeah, we probably would have caught up with it in a more timely fashion had we known that three seasons ago.

Apparently, Tommy picked his trailer many moons ago so, in spite of new drops like those Kyle and Pete picked, he stuck to his guns and brought something ... well, actually it looks to be something pretty special:

Tommy’s Trailer: Come From Away
Kyle’s Trailer: Last Night in Soho
Pete’s Trailer: The Matrix Resurrections

The Game: Poster Pals!

Pete came up with this ridiculous game in which he sends a movie poster to one player, who then has to describe it to the other player and get them to guess the movie. Now, he should have been more specific about the things you can — and cannot — say to cue the guesses. This will be resolved in version two. But it was fun anyway!

THE LIST! Getting Caught in a Cult

OK, not the friendlies of topics this Saturday Matinée, but the team rallied and offers a list of some fun films to get you indoctrinated into the world of cults, just like the cult we explored this week on The Next Reel. We've kicked off our series on Horror Debuts with Messiah of Evil where we visit Pointe Dune and see all the fun beach-going cultists at work and play!

Mandy Fabian, Mandy Kaplan, Pete Wright — Sat, 04 Sep 2021 02:00:00 -0700

Mandy Kaplan leads Mandy Fabian and Pete Wright on a matinée journey this morning as we talk news, trailers, games, and a list of terrific movies celebrating our older performers.

But we start where all good SatMats start, with a discussion of major stars who have turned down Marvel roles for one reason or another. Tom Cruise? Emily Blunt? Yup, they're on the list, along with some other surprises. Why would you turn down such a role? Fabian has some thoughts.

The oddball charmer 'Dickinson' is coming back for just one more season, but they're going out with a bang on new casting news. Top Gun: Maverick, MI7, and more are all moving their theatrical slate. 'Tis the season after all. And Mike Richards is out of the Jeopardy host box. And Mike Richards is out of the Jeopardy host box.

Trailers!

We're hoping for more than we got with Thunder Force as Kaplan brings Melissa McCarthy's latest dramatic turn, The Starling for her trailer pick. We largely missed the cultural import of Diana and the Royals because we're all TOO YOUNG. Did you hear that? We're too young to understand it. But that's not stopping us from talking about Fabian's pick, Spencer. And Pete, proving how comically hardcore he is now with horror movies — oh, you hadn't heard? He loves them now — we talk about James Wan's latest, Malignant... staring James Wan.

Games!

Kaplan's game is a speed round of 80's classic movie line trivia. It's a straight forward brainbreaker, but Pete and Fabian hold their own. You'll want to remember this one, because if Tommy has his way, you'll be crying through his first hosting duty coming in two weeks with a variation on this theme.

THE LIST!

The Next Reel just wrapped up their first series of this year with Look Who's Talking. This earned us the honor of talking about "Cute and Cantankerous Senior Citizens in Film" based on the wonderful Abe Vigoda's performance in the film. (What's that? You would like to vote on upcoming lists? Great! Head here to learn how.)

Next week, The Next Reel kicks off the "Horror Debuts" Series with Messiah of Evil. That vote has already taken place so Kyle, Tommy, and Pete will be taking on movies about getting caught in a cult!

Tommy Metz III, Ocean Murff, Steve Sarmento — Sat, 28 Aug 2021 02:00:00 -0700

Happy Saturday, movie lovers. Let's get started.

Ocean is here and he doesn't care about James Bond. And so, we're going to spend about seven minutes talking about it as news hits that in fact, casting for the double-O is up in the air again and it seems like rumors of a woman in the lead are being dashed.

In our weekly Ted Lasso check-in, Tommy reports there's a backlash of sorts because Ted isn't facing enough of an uphill battle this season? Whatever. Ted is and will always be fine. He has to prove nothing... to nobody... no how.

And then, in what can only be described as conversational chaos, Steve leads the team on a journey through white person resorts in White Lotus with Nine Perfect Strangers adding a dose of regret for Mare of East Town and ending in pre-sorrow on the distant planet, Arrakis.

But he makes up for it all with his trailer, a take on mermaid lore we've never seen. Tommy likes documentaries that push some capital-"S" serious buttons. And Ocean gives the people what they want: No story, just web-slinging.

Steve’s Trailer: https://youtu.be/Da1l9xMq8Hw
Tommy’s Trailer: The Big Scary “S” Word
Ocean’s Trailer: Spider-man: No Way Home

The Game: Spit It Out!

This week's game comes to us courtesy of long time listener and friend of the show Ben Lott. Spit It Out is a game of simple movie trivia with a twist: thanks to a role of the dice, random questions might just trigger an embolism in the player. It's furious fun as Steve forces Tommy and Ocean to Spit It Out.

THE LIST!

We're talking about Real Genius on The Next Reel this week as part of our series on the 80s Comedy of Coolidge and Heckerling and the community voted that we talk about secret rooms this week to celebrate. Let's go, Lazlo.

Rob Kubasko, Pete Wright, Kyle Olson — Sat, 21 Aug 2021 02:00:00 -0700

It's National Senior Citizens Day! To all of our elder listeners, we salute you.

Rob leads the charge in a love fest of the Ted Lasso Holiday episode. Pete has some follow-up enthusiasm including this EW video in which Brendan Hunt covers the off-side rule with Brett Goldstein, and this Variety video in which we learn that Juno Temple is a tiny cucumber with anxiety along side the incredible Hanna Waddingham. Oh yeah, and if you want to check out a dose of Brett Goldstein's early stand-up, why don't you check out this video from his performance at Richard Sandling's Perfect Movie? And did you know he has a podcast? A MOVIE podcast? It's called "Films to be Buried With" and it's worth checking out.

Pete loves CODA. He likes Beckett. Kyle watched Vivo with his kiddo and found his new favorite Miranda tune.

We also have a bit of news following up on the South Park deal and how Trey Parker and Matt Stone just made $900 million. And yes, they did buy Casa Bonia.

We did a bit deeper on the Ayer cut of Suicide Squad, and the value of dropping additional cuts of existing movies. Is the Snyder Cut reproduceable? Should every big film get a do-over?

Kyle’s Trailer: Copshop
Rob’s Trailer: Eternals
Pete’s Trailer: East of the Mountains

THE LIST!

We're celebrating Johnny Dangerously this week on The Next Reel with it's great visuals. For pairing, we offer a list of movies with great running or visual gags that are our favorites in hopes you might find the fun in them yourself.

Andy Nelson, Tommy Metz III, Mandy Kaplan — Mon, 16 Aug 2021 03:05:00 -0700

Tommy loves White Lotus. It's all he can talk about. Of course, if you're a Mike White fan, you might share his fascination with it. I might have to crank a little Chuck & Buck just cause I'm thinking about it.

Andy isn't watching enough. But he is digging Marvel's What If? and does his part to lobby for more Agent Carter.

Mandy is cracking through Schmigadoon, which apparently some people don't love. Did we mention Cecily Strong has killer pipes? AND she's funny? I mean, we already knew the last bit, but now we want her to come round the house, tell some classic jokes, and then sing us off to sleep.

Let's Do Trailers!

For trailers, Mandy's up for a fairy tale re-telling, Tommy brings what appears to be a rip of La Femme Nikita, and Andy spit in the wind and it landed on another new Nicholas Cage film, this one reported to be the craziest thing he's ever done... reported by him.

Mandy’s Trailer: Cinderella
Tommy’s Trailer:The Protégé
Andy’s Trailer: Prisoners of the Ghostland

The Game!

Mandy serves up a does of connective trivia that'll have you shouting at your phone in public. 1999 with Carol Channing in the Library? That's right, it'll be just like a rousing game of CLUE but you won't end up hating your nephew at the end of it.

The List: Hanging at the Mall

On The Next Reel we're working through Valley Girl this week and have asked the crew for a set of films that represent some of their favorites showcasing hanging at the mall. Dawn of the Dead is off limits, but it turns there are other, less zombie-ful films in malls.](#)

Pete Wright, Andy Nelson, Steve Sarmento — Sat, 07 Aug 2021 02:00:00 -0700

We're back from our long July slumber with a new game, news, trailers, and a list of movies celebrating teachers who are just... the... worst.

Steve has a report on 'No Way Home' — have you heard the rumors he's been unable to substantiate? Apparently, according to Kevin Feige, there's trailer news about the new Spider-Man entry that might point to a shift in how these big budget tent poles are marketed.

The Scarlett Johansson-Disney-Black Widow lawsuit is gaining traction. We advocate for restraint. Yes, this is absolutely a situation of big companies behaving badly. Yes, there is absolutely a corporate privilege and exploitation angle as all parties position for future litigation. But these sorts of disputes are — let's remember — why the legal system exists. It will be hard to watch, but it will be resolved with new contracts and new ways to adapt. We weigh in just a bit this week.

For a fantastic tie-in to our list this week, did you hear the news? Mr. Hand is getting more movies! A LOT more movies! The South Park team is gearing up for a deal to bring more seasons of the show and a number of feature length projects that you just have to hear to believe. If you liked that one South Park movie, prepare to be overjoyed.

As for trailers, looking for your next stop-motion-from-found-objects fetish? Look no further than Steve's entry this week. Ridley Scott is in Andy's House, and Pete is all-in with Kate. And, as a bonus, we drop in the trailer for Val now streaming on Amazon Prime as pre-work for our show on Real Genius in a few weeks — a tough but heart-warming trip down memory lane with Val Kilmer and his son, Jack.

In an unprecedented move even we didn't see coming, this week's game is a trip down production company music history in which Steve and Andy attempt to pair company, composer, and decade to logo scores. Oh, what's unprecedented about that? It's a listener submission! This comes courtesy of listener Adam Underwood who did a massive amount of work preparing clips and trivia that surely Pete is unable to properly perform to expectation. Thanks, and apologies if we broke your game, Adam. It was great fun!

This Week's Trailers!

Steve’s Trailer: Mad God
Andy’s Trailer: House of Gucci
Pete’s Trailer: Kate
Bonus: Val

THE LIST!

The movie this week was Fast Times at Ridgemont High and while the community had a whole slew of options, they seemed to key in on our favorite teacher, Mr. Hand, as portrayed by the late, great, Ray Walston. Is he really a bad teacher? Is he really a guy who deserves to serve as anchor to such a list? Sure, maybe at some point he was gracious, generous, and understanding in his instruction on the Platt Amendment. But after our time with him in Fast Times, we just aren't sure that he likes people anymore. And so we say Aloha, Mr. Hand. Thanks for the inspiration as we explore teachers who are JUST THE WORST.

Following up to last week’s cancellation chat around “Iron Fist” … turns out “Luke Cage” got pummeled by Netflix, too. Nick sends word of Filmstruck’s crazy response to people who like movies who aren’t in the United States … and predictably, it sucks. So, you should check out Kanopy, which isavailable outside the US, but not in very many places, allowing you to access some of these great films with your library card. Pete tracks his TV with Television Time. But there’s also TV Time. So, you know… competition. Finally, go watch Rejected, per Steve… it’ll take you nine minutes.

JJ FINALLY saw Blade Runner 2049! Best use of finally. We talk Gosling and La La Land and the President’s Day openings for Black Panther, Game Night, and Annihilation. Speaking of the later, turns out Netflix has international distribution rights for it … weird. Two cool trailers with repeat trailer star and next George Clooney, Jon Hamm.

This week, even more actors are lining up to be replaced by Christopher Plummer, the busiest man in entertainment. James Franco has reached peak James Franco. The Oscar nominees have been released with some pleasant surprises (we mostly ignore the things that aggravate us). And Edgar Wright does the yeoman’s work of making Kumail Nanjiani eat Brussels Sprouts.

This week, a rundown of the absurdly long list of 80’s remakes currently in some stage of development. This on the heels of the announcement of a Heathers TV show? Seriously? Have they no dignity? Get ready because Akira, Alien Nation, Big Trouble in Little China, Clue, and so, so many more are on the way to a theater near you. Van Damme is back in a new trailer that may just spawn a series on this very show (about time), and we have a list of Fire Sale movies that was hard won!

Marvel has up and destroyed their slate of upcoming films, pushing New Mutants back far enough to be able to reshoot the whole thing. Gambit loses a third director. But at least we get Deadpool 2 two weeks ahead of schedule. We’ve got a couple of fun trailer releases to talk about, and a slate of movie for the list this week that was… dare we say… hard won.

Andy saw Justice League and says his feelings weren’t as hurt as he expected them to be. We talk about all that, plus the truly ridiculous promotional design of the film. We’ve got two killer trailers, and an equally brutal list of cold case movies that may — or may not — bend the rules beyond the standard. Plus: Andy has his own cold case to contend with.

Andy saw Thor: Ragnarok and we both love it, so there. But what about those M-16s? Too much of a change from the fantasy violence? Asgard’s in your heart, baby. Kevin Spacey is in way more movies than you ever knew, but he’s been facially replaced in all of them. We’ve got some terrific trailers, and hope for an actor by the name of Streep Hanks. Or maybe a wrestler. A wrestler might be better.

Yeah, technology and schedule conspired to delay the Saturday Matinée this weekend. Hope you still have some dishes left to do. If it looks like Arizona, it was shot in New Mexico. Steve is trying to make his daughter patient zero in the Raw veterinary school controversy. Also, he is very unhappy. We’ve got a dash of Khan follow-up.

Box office is a bit dry this week and even though It is still performing, Happy Death Dayis on track to lead the week.

Apparently, it’s a Hitman’s Bodyguard conspiracy. That, plus new shorts from the Blade Runner 2049 story (not trailers), actual trailers, and movies with cult leaders on The List!

This week, Star Trek Discovery appears to continue the journey ... of legal wrangling and fan discontent. At least Nicholas Meyer is working on a new Star Trek series... wait... what's that again?!? There's more listener feedback from Slack on Valerian; Andy talks about his Mother issues and Pete heads back to Bushwick; and, as it turns out, you peg your jeans.

Tying in to this week's film, we're talking about some of our favorite good-guy character deaths in sci-fi!

Thanks for your support!

Happy Saturday, movie lovers. We're trying something new today! If you've ever found yourself looking for even more talk about trailers, and budgets, and random things we've seen, we're going to try and answer that call with this new Saturday show just for you. We rolled the dice this morning, just Pete and Andy, but we're looking forward to a rotating circus of contributors to make your Saturday mornings more complete.

Thank you for your support.

This week on the show, did "Death Wish" need a remake? Plus, the surprise that is "The Emoji Movie" as it landed the number two spot when it opened last week; "Atomic Blonde" is the latest graphic novel adaptation hitting the big screen at number four; all thousand of Valerian's planets are tanking, and more on the budget rundown. Plus, tying into this week's series, top good-guys-turned-bad on the big screen and small!
