    Sinners (2025): "Vampires, Blues, and the World’s Most Delicious Grilled Cheese"
    Mar 8 2026
    In this episode of Can I Change My Score?, Sophie and Matt finally catch up with Sinners, the Oscar-magnet genre mash-up set in 1930s Mississippi. What begins as a simple story about two brothers opening a juke joint quickly spirals into vampires, blues music, community politics, and one extremely persistent Irish folk song that refuses to leave Matt’s brain. Sophie bravely navigates the film’s horror elements (after a brief recovery from several jump scares), while Matt dives deep into its themes, from oppression in the Deep South to the surprising historical connections between Irish immigrants and Native American tribes. Along the way, they unpack Michael B. Jordan's portrayal of twins, the hypnotic musical sequences, a surprisingly intimidating Irish jig, and why the film’s working title was apparently Grilled Cheese. They also debate whether the story’s simplicity is part of its charm or a missed opportunity, question a slightly underwhelming final showdown with the vampires, and agree that the film’s atmosphere, performances and music are doing a lot of heavy lifting.

  • The Mastermind (2025): “Maintenance Men, Jazz Vibes, and the Heist That Forgot to Be a Heist”

    The Mastermind (2025): “Maintenance Men, Jazz Vibes, and the Heist That Forgot to Be a Heist”
    Jan 31 2026
    In this episode of Can I Change My Score?, Sophie and Matt wade through Kelly Reichardt’s The Mastermind, a slow-burn, 1970s-set anti-heist movie that looks gorgeous, sounds incredible, and steadfastly refuses to make its audience feel anything. What starts with lush autumnal colours, jazzy needle-drops, and the promise of a clever art theft quickly drifts into an extended study of a man gently… existing. Sophie struggles to locate any actual unraveling, Matt questions the film’s commitment to its own premise, and both hosts wonder why a movie about failure is so allergic to tension, desperation, or emotional consequence. Along the way, they unpack the misused potential of Alana Haim, the mystery of Josh O’Connor’s performance, the difference between slow cinema and stalled cinema, and why watching cars drive around is not a substitute for character development. Stylish, inert, and oddly beig; this is one mastermind that never quite earns the title.

  • Can I Change My Score? Christmas Special: Good Movies, Missed Gems, and Brad Pitt's torso

    Can I Change My Score? Christmas Special: Good Movies, Missed Gems, and Brad Pitt's torso
    Dec 23 2025
    In this Christmas episode of Can I Change My Score?, Sophie and Matt abandon the usual rules and take stock of a year spent in dark cinemas and on slightly uncomfortable sofas. There are films they definitely meant to watch, films they loved more than expected, and films that left them wondering how two hours could feel so long. Sophie defends a few unpopular choices, Matt draws some very firm lines about what should and shouldn’t exist, and both agree that going to the cinema is still the best part — even when the movie isn’t. It’s festive reflection, gentle arguing, and end-of-year honesty, with absolutely no scores changed.
