  • Clayface – Is Everyone Overrating This Film?
    1 Nov 2026

    We review Clayface (2026), DC's gruesome new body horror film, and we're not quite buying the hype.

    From its impressive practical effects and disturbing transformations to its predictable writing, underwhelming characters and questionable tonal choices, we discuss why this promising Batman villain origin story left us disappointed.

    Plus, we react to some considerably more enthusiastic IMDb reviews.

  • Primetime – What Was The Point?
    31 Oct 2026

    We review Primetime, Lance Oppenheim's unconventional A24 drama starring Robert Pattinson as To Catch a Predator host Chris Hansen.

    From its unsettling filmmaking and bizarre performances to its exploration of sensationalism and media ethics, we discuss whether the film's artistic ambitions justify its questionable portrayal of real events.

    Plus, we break down what's true, what's fabricated and what Chris Hansen himself thinks of the film.

  • Digger – A Masterpiece or Pretentious Nonsense?
    25 Oct 2026

    We review Digger (2026), Alejandro G. Iñárritu's outrageous black comedy starring Tom Cruise, and we couldn't be more divided.

    From Cruise's larger-than-life performance and the film's ambitious storytelling to its bizarre twists and provocative social satire, we debate whether Digger is a brilliant cinematic experiment or an obnoxious, self-indulgent mess.

    Plus, we react to some divisive IMDb reviews.
