The SpoilerCast

In this episode of The SpoilerCast, we break down and review Karate Kid: Legends — the latest legacy sequel to the beloved Karate Kid franchise. Is it a worthy addition to the iconic series, or just another nostalgia-fueled cash grab? While Karate Kid: Legends offers solid entertainment and a few fresh ideas, it ultimately feels like a movie designed more to capitalize on the legacy of the original than to stand on its own. Still, it's a fun ride that manages to justify its existence — even if no one will be talking about it six months from now. We discuss the film's strengths, its weaker moments, and whether it brings anything truly new to the table. If you're a fan of martial arts movies, 80s reboots, or just curious whether this installment is worth your time, this episode is for you. Spoilers, and brutally honest opinions included.

This week, we watched Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning… and folks, Tom Cruise has officially lost the plot. In a movie stuffed with faux-philosophical ramblings about fate, destiny, and the nature of choice, the only real choice we had was whether to laugh or cry. Spoiler: we laughed. A lot. Despite the highest stakes ever™️, there's never any real tension—because let's be honest, we all know Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt is untouchable. The film throws existential monologues at you like it's Oppenheimer, then immediately launches into a mid-air biplane chase where Cruise is hanging from the wing like a messianic daredevil auditioning for God himself. And somehow, it only gets dumber from there. At this point, Ethan Hunt isn't a spy—he's a prophet, a savior, a man burdened with destiny and an unlimited stunt budget. And while the script tries to convince us that the fate of the world hangs in the balance, it's hard to feel suspense when the lead seems convinced he is the balance. Yet… somehow… it's kind of brilliant? The stunts are mind-blowingly over-the-top, the set pieces defy logic, and it's all so self-serious that it wraps around and becomes unintentionally hilarious. This isn't action cinema—it's operatic chaos, and we couldn't look away. If you've ever wondered what it feels like to watch a franchise implode in slow motion while its star walks on air, this is the episode for you.

This week we watched Final Destination: Bloodlines — and yeah, it's exactly what you think it is. A corny, cheesy, over-the-top throwback to those mid-2000s B-horror, B-movie, B-tier classics. Is it good? Is it bad? Is it so bad it's good? We break down the death scenes, the dumb logic, and the deliciously predictable plot twists that make Bloodlines either a trashy gem or just plain trash. If you're into Final Destination movies, Final Destination kills, or Final Destination chaos, you might just love this one. Or hate it. Either way, we had fun. Tune in for our full review, reaction, and rundown on the latest deathtrap sequel nobody asked for—but we're kinda glad we got.

WARFARE is a gripping, minimalist war film that delivers tension and panic with brutal efficiency — and we both loved it. But as much as we admire the film itself, the conversation around it has become louder than the movie. A lot of people seem more interested in writing it off as "American propaganda" than actually engaging with what it's doing. In this episode, we break down why WARFARE works so well as a piece of filmmaking — and why so much of the backlash feels reactionary, surface-level, and frankly, lazy. We're not condoning war, and we're certainly not glorifying it. But we also don't think you can have a real conversation about cinema — or soldiers — if you come in already assuming the worst. If you're interested in war films, complex discussions, and a breakdown that isn't afraid to push back on simplistic takes, this is the episode for you.  

Marvel's The Thunderbolts is finally here... and it's somehow even worse than we imagined. In this episode, we rip into The Thunderbolts — a movie so painfully dumb, so shamelessly pandering, and so lazily written it makes Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania look like The Godfather. The writing is bad. The direction is worse. And the performances — even from talented actors like Florence Pugh — are buried under layers of cringe-worthy Marvel nonsense. This is peak Disney formula at its most hollow. If you're exhausted by the MCU, Thunderbolts is the final nail in the coffin. We dive into everything wrong with this disaster: – Florence Pugh wasted again – Generic Disney-mandated character arcs – Cringe dialogue that insults your intelligence – MCU fatigue reaching critical levels – A plot that might've been written by AI... bad AI If you're looking for a Thunderbolts review, Thunderbolts breakdown, and Thunderbolts reaction that isn't afraid to say what you're thinking — this is it. Disney, Marvel, the MCU — we're done pretending this stuff is good.

Rami Malek goes sicko mode in the new Spy thriller The Amateur. Is this Mr Robot meets John Wick, or just John Wick with tech support? Laurence Fishburne kicks ass and John Bernthal is in the movie for literally three minutes while Rami Malek tries his hardest to break his typecasting curse. We break down the film's plot, tone, action, and whether or not Rami Malek should ever hold a gun on screen again.

We review A Minecraft Movie—the long-awaited, blocky adventure based on the iconic video game. Is it fun, frustrating, or just forgettable? In this episode, we dive into the film's story, structure, and style, breaking down what worked (surprisingly) and what didn't. While critics are calling it a disaster, we think there's more to it than just bad jokes and pixel nostalgia. Sure, it's clunky, chaotic, and clearly made for kids, but it also has a weird charm we can't fully dismiss. If you're curious whether this movie is worth watching, worth skipping, or worth mocking, we've got you covered. Whether you're a Minecraft fan or just here for the chaos, this episode is for you.

Faith, fear, and control—Heretic weaves them all together in a tense, psychological horror that lingers long after the credits roll. In this episode, we break down the film's unsettling atmosphere, its exploration of belief and manipulation, and how it challenges the idea of free will. Is faith a source of strength, or a tool for control? Let's dive into the horror, the philosophy, and the dread. What did Heretic leave you thinking about? Was it a chilling horror story, or something deeper? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

After years of re-shoots, drama and controversy, Snow white is finally here! Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot does their very best to carry this trainwreck and surprisingly it succeeds. Some people will probably still hate this, but for some (i.e me) this was actually a wonderfully quaint fairy tale adventure with very strong character building and a strong message of non violence and kindness. We discuss the emotional highs and the stunning resolution that brought us to tears. Plus, we explore the film's decision to avoid the typical "girl boss" tropes, keeping Snow White strong without sacrificing her vulnerability. If you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to rate and review! Your feedback helps us reach more movie lovers just like you. #SnowWhite #MovieReview #DisneyMovies #MoviePodcast

Mickey 17 is Bong Joon-ho's latest sci-fi film, but does his social commentary hit too hard? In this review, I break down why Mickey 17 feels like a sledgehammer when it comes to its message. While Bong Joon-ho is undeniably a skilled filmmaker, his approach to social themes often feels blunt and pandering—and Mickey 17 is no exception. Does the film's technical brilliance outweigh its heavy-handed messaging? Or is Bong Joon-ho repeating the same overly obvious themes from Parasite and Snowpiercer? Let's talk about it.  

The Gorge" is a surprisingly great action movie that no one will ever watch. Despite being directed by Scott Derrickson (Doctor Strange, The Black Phone), starring Anya Taylor-Joy (The Queen's Gambit, Furiosa) and Trent Reznor composing the score, this film has been completely buried by the endless flood of streaming content. With insane action, fun characters, and a solid story, this would have been a must-watch blockbuster about 20 years ago—but now barely anyone even knows it exists. Why? Because streaming platforms don't care. If a movie isn't part of an established franchise, it gets dumped with zero promotion. This is exactly what's wrong with modern Hollywood. Great original movies like The Gorge don't stand a chance against Marvel, Star Wars, and endless reboots. Will this movie be forgotten before it even releases? Let's talk about it.

An expansion of Matt Reeve's Batman universe, but it's not part of James Gunn's DCU or the DCEU, also known as The Snyderverse. No this is it's own, very mature, grounded and serious show about the criminal underworld of Gotham city, but it avoids mentioning even the slightest connection to anything realted to the Batman, Joker or any other silly comic book things. No, this is a serious show about a violent but loveable gangster, with mommy issues and his inner demons that get in the way of his job. Are you sure this isn't just Season 7 of The sopranos?
