Send a textWelcome to the global launch of the all-new DMR Studio!!!After reaching a massive 16 million views on Tiktok since mid 2023, we are moving into a high-production 4K era. This isn't just a podcast; it's a cinematic 28-minute masterclass in the truth behind the headlines.In this premiere 4K episode on Youtube/Spotify, we break down:• Longlegs - The Horror Masterpiece: We dissect Osgood Perkins' horror phenomenon. Is Nicolas Cage's performance the ultimate embodiment of this eras psychological dread? We go "mask off" on the occult symbolism and the "triangular" unaliving pattern that has the internet paralyzed.• The Epstein Files (2026 Declassified): With this month's release of over 3 million FBI records, we look at the names frequently appearing in the declassified documents. From Buckingham Palace dinner invites to the politician correspondence, we analyze the "client list" reality that mainstream media is still trying to redact. *Correction Naomi Campbell (Model) I meant not Aussie Actress. • MAFS Australia 2026: The Brook Crompton Nuclear Blow-up: We analyze the "villain arc" of the century. From the secret pregnancy rumors to the "Mean Girl" tag-team with Gia, we dissect the dinner party where Brook went absolutely off the hinge. Why is Brook allegedly trying to sue to have the footage scrubbed?• Shrinking Season 3: The "Jimmying" Effect: Apple TV's mental health hit is back. We review the return of Harrison Ford and Jason Segel, exploring how the show balances "grief-therapy" with 2026's best hang-out comedy vibes. Is the series preparing to say goodbye to Paul?Also, be sure to grab your 30 day free Audible trial on behalf of DMR, click on the link in the show!Cheers - DMRSupport the showThe audio clips used in this podcast, including excerpts from movie/series/documentary trailers, are used under the principles of fair use and fair dealing for the purpose of criticism, commentary, and review.

Julia discusses the most criminally underrated, often overlooked, perfect, interesting, authentic, once-in-a-lifetime talent that is Josh O'Connor. Join her in this discussion of his beautiful films including 'La Chimera,' 'Wake Up Dead Man,' 'God's Own Country,' 'The Mastermind,' 'The History of Sound,' and more. Oh and something called 'Challengers' but that's a deep cut. Julia very eloquently unpacks why Josh O'Connor's career (and general being) is legitimately perfect and he will go far and we all owe him a lot and he will continue to be cast in everything ever and probably kiss more boys on-screen, too. So, put on your poorly sewn tennis clothes, get intimate in the back of your busted car, torment your ex best friend/lover, and join the fun!Ep.

Of course Brian's picking one of the few "gay" movies of the 90s for his birthday episode. Starring Keanu Reeves and the late-great River Phoenix, "Idaho" was an indie hit in 1991, its box office quadrupling its budget. But, just how gay is Gus Van Sant's male sex worker opus by today's standards? And is this movie a road trip, a love story, a docudrama, a Shakespearian tragedy or something else? And is it simply all too much? The Old Roommates relax by a soundstage campfire and give it all a revisit ... through their middle-aged lens.

The shocking cliffhanger of Netflix's A House Of Dynamite has left audiences divided, but most viewers are completely missing the hidden message buried in the final frames. Director Kathryn Bigelow didn't just run out of time; she intentionally trapped the audience in the same "What If" scenario facing the characters, forcing us to confront the terrifying fragility of our global systems. This breakdown explores the systemic horror, the procedural dread of the situation room, and why the ending you hated is actually the most brilliant part of the film.

Before SURVIVOR was popular, people in the 1920's would find themselves on an isolated, inhospitable island, driven by survival and searching for that one piece of personal peace and salvation.Ron Howard's EDEN kinda does that with a bunch of sexy actors enacting the true story of a group of people setting up life in the Galapagos Islands. What ensues is a pinch of madness. A crumble of humanity and plenty of foul behavior.Depending on who you speak to, this is either "not bad" or "straight down the middle". That equates to a whole bunch of mediocrity. But it's coming out near Valentine's so, all is forgiven!

We dive into the anticipated TV shows, movies, albums, concerts, comics and gaming releases for 2026. We highlight the return of beloved series like Scrubs and Ted Lasso on the small screen. We discuss upcoming albums and concerts, from the likes of The Maine, New Found Glory and Broadside. We get between the covers in anticipation of some comic books and graphics novels coming out this year, with Saga being one high on the radar. Before dipping into the movies we are most looking forward to this year, we discuss irreplaceable experience of watching movies in the theater, and the multifaceted world of cinema, discussing the shared experience of watching certain movies with a crowd versus those films that require an individual focus. We then delve into the upcoming movie release calendar, highlighting those we deem to be of the must watch variety. We hope you enjoy.

Get access to this entire episode as well as all of our premium episodes and bonus content by becoming a Hit Factory Patron for just $5/month.Sam Raimi's new film Send Help is in theaters, so we decided to look back at the director's undersung maximalist Western pastiche The Quick and the Dead. A Raimi Movie™ through and through, the film pays loving homage to revisionist entries in the western canon like Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in the West and Clint Eastwood's High Plains Drifter, but also sacrifices some of the thematic potential of the genre's Golden Era in favor of shoot-em-up schlock and a thoroughly fun time with a knockout cast of established and up-and-coming greats including Sharon Stone, Gene Hackman, Russell Crowe, and a fresh-faced Leonardo DiCaprio.We begin with a discussion of the Western, its persistence and malleability as genre, and where Raimi's vision falls in the lineage of America's mythmaking. Then, we examine the political limitations of The Quick and the Dead, its topicality as a piece of pop filmmaking, and its reduction of symbolism to mere signifier. Finally, we discuss Sharon Stone as actor and producer, and how the film offers her an oppotunity to explore a character that runs counter to the archetypal femme fatale roles she had made her career playing thus far.Elsewhere, we briefly discuss another great 00s thriller in our ongoing watch project - David Twohy's A Perfect Getaway and share some thoughts on the new Isaac Chotiner interview with The Quick and the Dead and Melania DP Dante Spinotti.....Our theme song is "Mirror" by Chris Fish.

What about Bill, actually? Bill Murray starred in the hit 1991 comedy, What About Bob? Playing the titular Bob, Murray was tasked with portraying a variety of mental health issues, much to the delight of critics and audiences. But now, decades later, is any of this a laughing matter? Is "stalking" adorable if the guy's Bill Murray? And is Richard Dreyfuss' Leo the good guy or something far sinister?

Let us know your thoughtsThe Horror Cut returns live to The Old Hairdressers in Glasgow for a fire-and-brimstone episode on End of Days (1999).The apocalyptic action-horror that pits Schwarzenegger against Satan himself. Recorded in front of a horror-infused crowd, this live discussion wrestles with the film's turn-of-the-millennium paranoia, and the sheer audacity of late-90s studio horror at its loudest and wildest.We dig into religious imagery and the fascinating clash between occult folk horror and blockbuster explosions. Expect big laughs, debates and audience reactions.IG - @thehorrorcutshow | @HewittGPro | @StephenkerrActor_Performer FB - Facebook.com/profile.php?id=61573701383591

We discuss the villainous Jimmies, Ralph Fiennes continuing barn burner performance as Dr. Kelson, and yet another surprising ending in the 28 franchise.
