This week's episode packs a punch as we dive into Top 5 Juniors in Movies and TV, followed by a deep dive into the intense war thriller Warfare (2025). No kids' TV show this week — we're keeping it strictly grown-up.
On this week's show, Julia and Dana are joined by June Thomas for a decidedly feminist discussion. They start with Sorry, Baby, the debut feature from writer, director, and actor Eva Victor, about a young academic's life after a terrible trauma. The panel debates whether the film— which was a Sundance hit for A24 — is a tart, surprising traumedy or a frustratingly evasive experiment. Next, they get into Dear Ms.: A Revolution in Print, the HBO documentary about the pioneering feminist magazine. Finally, they take up a recent New York Times piece to determine whether the straight white male novelist is a thing of the past—and if we should care. Steve hops on the call to offer his token male perspective, naturally. In an exclusive plus bonus episode, the feminist discourse continues with a conversation about the oft overlooked fashion designer Claire McCardell, who is the subject of a recent biography Claire McCardell: The Designer Who Set Women Free by Elizabeth Evitts Dickinson and book review by our very own Julia Turner. Endorsements: Dana: The essay “It's Only An Island If You Look At It From The Water” by Elizabeth Cantwell in Bright Wall Dark Room about the film Jaws on its 50th anniversary. June : The action film Heads of State starring John Cena and Idris Elba, or “Mamma Mia! with explosions.” Julia - The new book Empire of the Elite by Michael Grynbaum about the magisterial publishing reign of Condé Nast.

Celine Song's followup to 2023's gem Past Lives explores the world of matchmaking through a spin on the classic love triangle. Song turns her signature gentle tension on its head with a take on modern dating and transactional matrimony. Is it successful? Will lightning strike twice for the Oscar-nominated filmmaker? Tune in and find out...
Beach House Breakdown, Vagina Dentata, & Cronenberg's Sex Parasites – Horror Hangout from HellWhat do a Cthulhu beach vacation, vagina dentata, and horny parasitic zombies have in common? We have no idea. But it's Josh's birthday, so come with us as we shuffle through all this goo and try to find out. The dudes dive headfirst into The Beach House (dir. Jeffrey A. Brown), a Lovecraft-lite flick that tries to spook you with fog, foot worms, and... astrobiology? James has ocean-walking dreams, Justin forgets the movie he's supposed to talk about, Derick gets mad that nobody in horror knows how to wear pants during a crisis, and Josh may in fact be Tubi's shadow CEO. We also take a deep bite into Teeth (dir. Mitchell Lichtenstein), where John Hensley from Nip/Tuck plays the most cartoonishly incestuous dirtbag this side of Cinemax. There are dog attacks, dick rings, and a whole lot of trauma wrapped up in a “quirky” indie revenge horror. A24 remake incoming? Probably. Then it's over to David Cronenberg's Shivers aka They Came from Within aka Orgy of the Blood Parasites, where 70s Canadian sex monsters spread the infection one creepy assault at a time. Oh, and apparently Cronenberg thought those guys were the heroes of the story. Yeah. Sketch. Along the way, the crew debates whether stoned vision grants access to cosmic jellyfish goo, how many dicks need to be bitten off before justice is served, and how Lovecraftian horror and edible gummies mix like oil and haunted ocean water.Movies discussed:The Beach House (2020) – Directed by Jeffrey A. Brown, starring Liana Liberato and Jake Weber (aka “Dawn of the Dead Ocean Dad”) Teeth (2007) – Directed by Mitchell Lichtenstein, starring Jess Weixler and John Hensley as Human Incest DumpsterShivers (1975) – Directed by David Cronenberg, starring Paul Hampton, Barbara Steele, and everything wrong with humanityTopics include:Why walking into the ocean is the ultimate Irish goodbye“Astrobiology” – science or weed hallucination?Cronenberg's wild take on sex parasitesThe proper ratio of tentacles to budgetSpider TikToks and Australia's war on sanityLovecraft meets weed: the crossover event nobodyasked forDon't forget to subscribe for more low-budget horror, high-budget opinions, and four grown men yelling about sea goo, toxic boyfriends, and the importance of pants during supernatural emergencies.

On this week's Very Special episode we are very excited to be talking to GLAAD's Raina Deerwater to discuss the newly published 2025 Studio Responsibility Index - which has found that LGBTQ representation and inclusion in film has it a three year low! Raina and Rowan sit down to talk about why this might be, and what we can do to change it. The GLAAD Studio Responsibility Index (SRI) maps the quantity, quality and diversity of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) characters in films released by ten major motion picture studios during the 2024 calendar year. GLAAD researched films released by A24, Amazon Studios, Apple TV+, Lionsgate, NBCUniversal, Netflix, Paramount Global, Sony, The Walt Disney Studios, Warner Bros. Discovery, and their subsidiaries. The report is intended to serve as a road map toward increasing fair, accurate and inclusive LGBTQ representation in film.

With a catalog full of art house favorites like The Witch, Spring Breakers, Moonlight, and Uncut Gems, it's hard to deny that A24 occupies a unique position in the zeitgeist. In a Hollywood landscape that can feel like it's becoming more risk-averse by the year — see our recent episode with Andrew Dewaard on his book Derivative Media — the artist-forward distributor and studio has become synonymous with a dream that, to many American cultural producers, feels increasingly remote: the conviction that one can doggedly put quality art out into the marketplace and see it actually succeed.But is A24 singlehandedly saving American cinema, or is that just a carefully crafted illusion, more a testament to the importance of smart brand positioning than to the actual quality of the films in its catalog? We brought on the Las Vegas-based writer and critic Nicholas Russell, author of an excellent essay for Dirt called “The Popular Alternative: the State of A24,” to discuss how the company evolved from an upstart indie film distributor to a studio and lifestyle brand in the mold of Disney — albeit one for adults who pride themselves in being savvy cultural consumers.We talk about how the company successfully commodified the idea of being “a cinephile,” the similarities between the A24 cap and the New York tote, and what Nicholas describes as the longstanding “tension between A24 the studio and A24 the startup” — one recently complicated by a $100 million cash injection from Josh Kushner's Thrive Capital, a major investor in OpenAI. We also try to break down the ineffable A24 “feel” (including the aesthetic elements and political themes the company tends to foreground, and shy away from) and consider the rise of Neon — the distributor behind movies like Parasite, Anora, and How to Blow Up a Pipeline — as the “other popular alternative.”Follow Nicholas on X and SubstackRead more by Nicholas hereRecommended reading about A24 and the Hollywood system from Nicholas:"The Life and Death of Hollywood" by Daniel Bessner (Harpers)"A24's Risky Hollywood Moment" by Felix Gillette (Bloomberg)Hollywood: The Oral History by Jeanine Basinger and Sam Wasson (Harper Collins) This is a public episode.

Ep. 331: Eva Victor, writer-director of Sorry, Baby, on the film's influences and her recent viewing Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. I've been eager for people to see Eva Victor's Sorry, Baby ever since I saw it at Sundance (where it picked up a prize). A wonder of a film, it's the funny and moving story of a woman working through trauma, with Victor playing the leading role, opposite Naomi Ackie (Mickey 17) and Lucas Hedges (Manchester by the Sea). The writer-director brings her tonal and emotional precision both as a performer and as a writer to a debut feature that blazes its own path (distinct from the comedic shorts that were my first introduction to her work). I was delighted to speak with Victor about influences on the film (ranging from Certain Women to The Handmaiden and beyond), as well as her recent viewing. Sorry, Baby is in theaters now, distributed by A24. Please support the production of this podcast by signing up at: rapold.substack.com Photo by Steve Snodgrass
Aleece and Tony are back to SPILL THIER GUTS over the latest July 2025 horror trailers — including Jurassic World: Rebirth, I Know What You Did Last Summer , The Home, and the mysterious new A24-looking creeper Together.After back-to-back horror summers with hits like Talk to Me and MaXXXine, we're wondering… will July 2025 keep the horror hot streak alive? Or are we in for some big-screen letdowns?In this PREGUT trailer reaction episode, we dig into the best moments from each trailer, make bold predictions, and decide which ones we're racing to see opening weekend—and which ones might get left to rot. As always, there will be wild theories, merch wishlists, and more horror puns than you asked for.

In aflevering 215 van Nerd Culture pakken we weer een bomvolle lading reviews en nerdnieuws uit. We duiken in F1 the Movie en de Super Mario Bros Movie, bespreken Iron Heart, Sinners, The Bear seizoen 4 en nog veel meer series en films die we hebben gekeken.In het nieuws schuiven grote namen voorbij: Denis Villeneuve neemt James Bond over, Michael Bay keert terug naar Transformers en Hideo Kojima laat los hoe hij Death Stranding naar film en anime vertaalt. En jawel: Adi Shankar gaat Duke Nukem eindelijk de comeback geven die hij verdient.Denis Villeneuve regisseert nieuwe James BondDenis Villeneuve, de veelgeprezen regisseur achter Dune, Blade Runner 2049 en Arrival, gaat officieel de volgende James Bond-film maken voor Amazon MGM Studios. Villeneuve noemt Bond “heilig terrein” en wil de rijke traditie van de 007-films eren én een frisse weg inslaan voor toekomstige missies. Hij groeide zelf op met de iconische films en noemt dit project een enorme eer en verantwoordelijkheid. Met producenten Amy Pascal en David Heyman aan zijn zijde krijgt de franchise na No Time to Die een volledig nieuw hoofdstuk. Nu blijft vooral de grote vraag hangen: wie kruipt er in het strak gesneden pak van de nieuwe Bond?Hideo Kojima op afstand betrokken bij Death Stranding filmHideo Kojima werkt samen met A24 aan de live-action verfilming van zijn game Death Stranding, maar blijft bewust op afstand. In plaats van elke creatieve beslissing te sturen, wil hij de regisseur Michael Sarnoski (Pig) en het team juist vrijheid geven. “Ik moet deze mensen vertrouwen,” zegt hij, hoewel hij zijn “baby” wel in de gaten houdt. Interessant genoeg vroeg Kojima Sarnoski om Metal Gear Solid 2 en verder niet te spelen, om zijn visie niet te vertroebelen. Naast de film komt er ook een Death Stranding anime aan. Kojima's bizarre wereld blijft dus volop groeien.Duke Nukem keert terug als anime?Castlevania-producent Adi Shankar heeft officieel de rechten op Duke Nukem gekocht en belooft een compromisloze adaptatie. Volgens Shankar kan Duke nooit een “gepolijst merk” worden; zodra een groot bedrijf zich ermee bemoeit, gaat de rauwe, lompe geest verloren. Hij ziet Duke Nukem als een pure middelvinger naar de gevestigde orde — precies het soort chaos waar zijn Bootleg Universe om bekendstaat. Na Castlevania en Devil May Cry wil Shankar Amerikaanse animatie en gameverfilmingen opnieuw brutaal en grensverleggend maken. Wat Legendary ooit probeerde, lijkt hiermee passé: Duke Nukem is eindelijk in de juiste, volkomen gestoorde handen.Timestamps:00:00:00 Nerd Culture #21500:05:02 Wat hebben we gekeken/gelezen/geluisterd?00:08:31 F1 the Movie00:15:49 Super Mario Bros Movie00:18:01 Iron Heart00:28:55 Sinners00:31:30 Lucifer, Slow Horses S4, Sinners, MobLand00:35:36 The Bear S400:41:13 Deep Cover00:44:53 Dept.

The 83rd A24 film review for the A24 Rocks crew is The Souvenir starring Honor Swinton Byrne, Tom Burke, and Tilda Swinton. Written and directed by Joanna Hogg, Swinton Byrne portrays a green film student named Julie who meets a more seasoned man named Anthony. He charms her and they begin a relationship, as he guides her on the direction of her film artistry. The other shoe soon drops when Julie figures out he's a heroin addict, and thus comes the first real test of her romantic life. What will these A24 film critics think of this brooding British romantic drama?

A24's new film "The Materialists" is just the latest film to piss off the internet. From critiques of "broke boyfriend propaganda" to arguments of what is romance, the film is doing its job on provoking conversations about the current dating landscape. I'm breaking down my thoughts & feelings on the film, and why I feel like labeling it as "broke boyfriend propaganda" is frankly, a lazy critique.

With Steve out this week, Sean summoned three of our oldest friends. Bruce Christopher (aka Portia Davis), Brandon Coulter (aka Ghus), and Cameron Gawne (resident zookeeper and horror nerd) for a boozy séance and horror hangout.They kick things off with some horror news, covering the upcoming Alien: Earth series, Robert Eggers' now confirmed to take on A Christmas Carol, and A24's terrifying Backrooms adaptation.Then things get paranormal (and kind of unhinged) as they summon the souls of the dead via a spirit board game (a horror movie themed 20 Questions where each of them channels the ghost of a slain horror movie victim, and the others try to guess who died horribly. Spoiler..they get progressively drunker and worse at it.)So come for the news, stay for the chaos. Light a candle, pour a drink, and join the séance!!!Follow Us on Social Media:Instagram & Threads: @mostlyhorrorpodTikTok & Twitter/X: @mostlyhorrorBruce Christopher: @brucechristopher, Portia Davis on Music PlatformsBrandon Coulter: @bscoulter_, @Ghus_Music, Ghus on Music PlatformsCameron Gawne: @CollectivecammySean: @hypocrite.ink on IG/TikTok, @hypocriteink on Twitter/XEnjoy this episode?

GET YOUR MULTIVERSE NEWS MERCH HERE:https://multiverse-news-shop.fourthwall.com/In a peek behind the curtain, James Gunn shared with Rolling Stone this week that the Milly Alcock-lead film Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow will now just be called Supergirl. This is similar to July's Superman, which started out with the title Superman: Legacy. Gunn shared that he and his team do what he calls “premortems,” where they attempt to suss out issues with projects prior to release rather than reacting on the back end. The shortening of titles has come out of those discussions. In the same article, Gunn got candid about the state of Batman in the DCU and the complexities of navigating the character with Matt Reeves' adaptation in consideration or making it his own. Lastly, Gunn announced today that actor Tom Rhys Harries will play Basil Karlo/Clayface in the film set to be released in September 2026.Live action remakes continue to rule at the box office, with this weekend's How to Train Your Dragon capturing the top spot opening to a global $197 million.
