The analysis and evaluation of films
POPULARITY
Happy New Year from The Strange Harbors Podcast! For the first episode of 2026, we review Josh Safdie's Marty Supreme, a 1950s sports comedy-drama in the world of professional table tennis. We discuss Timothée Chalamet's barn burner performance, his Marty Mauser marketing persona, and what makes a Safdie movie a Safdie movie. Is Marty Supreme just Uncut Gems or Good Time with $50 million tacked onto its budget? Or is there much, much more under the hood?
"I met someone in Rome." So begins the respective parental dream and nightmare of Diane Keaton and Steve Martin in the 1991 remake, Father of the Bride. Upon release, audiences joyously walked down the movie aisles of theaters everywhere to take a seat. But now, decades later, is the comedic honeymoon over? Why is George so underwhelmed with Brian and his billionaire parents? And why would a 90s wedding cake ever cost over two grand? The Old Roommates grab a snow-covered swan and give it all a revisit through their middle-aged lens.

In This Episode: Zootropolis 2 (Cinema): Tosin heads to the cinema for the highly anticipated animated sequel Zootropolis 2 (Zootopia 2).

Irish Blood (Netflix): Holly reviews Alicia Silverstone's comeback in the Netflix mystery-drama Irish Blood . We discuss Silverstone's performance as an LA lawyer following a trail of clues to Wexford, Ireland.

Send us a textWelcome back to DMR!This year's top ten movies of the year reflects a powerful mix of blockbuster spectacle, bold storytelling, and franchise reinvention that dominated the film conversation. Standout titles like The Naked Gun, Mission: Impossible, Avatar Fire & Ash, F1, Weapons, Sinners, and One Battle After Another showcase how studios leaned hard into recognizable IP while still taking creative risks. From high-octane action and jaw-dropping visuals to darker, character-driven thrillers, these films fueled nonstop discussion among movie fans, critics, and podcast audiences alike. Searches for best movies of the year, top ten films, and must-see blockbusters surged as audiences returned to theaters looking for cinematic events worth the big screen experience.This year was also packed with major events in film, including massive opening weekends, long-awaited sequels, and filmmakers pushing technology and storytelling forward. Avatar Fire & Ash continued to redefine visual effects and world-building, while Mission: Impossible proved practical stunts still draw crowds. The surprise buzz around films like Sinners and Weapons highlighted the growing appetite for original, edgy cinema alongside tentpole releases. Meanwhile, industry moments such as record-breaking box office performances, renewed debates around theatrical vs. streaming releases, and the rise of filmmaker-driven franchises made this a landmark year for movies.

“Thank you for not making us poor – or Samoan.”On this brand new episode of Exploding Sleigh we take a look at a festive-themed entry in the combustible snow sled genre, SANTA'S SLAY (2005).In this twisted holiday tale, Santa is the not the portly present giver we're all familiar with, but a demonic entity out on a murderous killing spree. But does this horror comedy deliver top quality laughs and the chills, and – more importantly – does it give us the sleigh combustion thrills we want? Episode 166.
It's a year end, clocked out episode with Burke joining the show for holiday traditions, Christmas movie rotations, and why Christmas Vacation hits different the older you get. Then it's straight into the biggest geek headlines: the Avengers: Doomsday chatter around Steve Rogers, Christopher Nolan taking on The Odyssey (and why it feels built for IMAX), and the latest Superman casting talk with Lars Ettinger reportedly stepping in as Brainiac. The back half is a full, spoiler heavy review of Avatar: Fire and Ashes, covering the new faction dynamics, how the family story lands this time, Varang's presence as a villain, Quaritch's shifting loyalties, and what the ending sets up for what's next. Timestamps and Topics 00:00:00 Intro and holiday vibe check with Burke 00:00:51 Christmas decorating habits, movie rotation, and Vacation franchise talk 00:03:49 Avengers: Doomsday discussion and the Steve Rogers reaction 00:08:59 Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey trailer breakdown and IMAX hype 00:14:04 Superman talk, Lars Ettinger as Brainiac, and story hopes 00:17:34 Avatar: Fire and Ashes review begins (full spoilers) 00:27:35 Varang breakdown, motivations, and the darker mirror of "I see you" 00:33:27 Kiri's bigger role, the spiritual threads, and what it could mean next 00:41:44 Nitpicks, repetition talk, and the voice casting complaint 00:46:09 Scores, theater recommendation, and looking ahead Key Takeaways The episode starts relaxed and holiday coded, then shifts into big franchise conversation fast. The Avengers: Doomsday segment focuses on bringing Steve Rogers back without flattening Sam Wilson's space in the story. The Odyssey trailer has the crew excited for Nolan going mythic on a massive, grounded scale made for premium screens. Brainiac feels like a smart follow up villain for Superman, especially if the story ties power to personal stakes and Krypton lore. Avatar: Fire and Ashes hits harder emotionally this time, with Spider's place in the family and Neytiri's growth standing out. The main knocks are a few familiar Avatar beats repeating, even if the spectacle still wins. Memorable Quotes "This is very much Christmas Vacation. We are clocked out." "At the end of the day, I'm just happy to have Steve Rogers back." "How do they keep making perfect movies?" "You're basically following a dead man's memories." "I see you in that mirror." "I felt like the Colonel when I was just sitting there staring at her."

Kermit, Gonzo, and two-time Oscar winner Michael Caine starred in this musical retelling of Charles Dickens' yuletide classic. 1992's "A Muppet Christmas Carol" wasn't nearly the hit Walt Disney Pictures hoped, getting clobbered at the box office by its own "Aladdin." But now, decades later, did we all miss a Christmas miracle? Or was Caine's tragic take on Scrooge too much for a kids' movie? And, why was a diva like Miss Piggy reduced to a measly supporting performance? The Old Roommates hop on a vegetable truck and give it a revisit through their middle-aged lens.

What's more Christmas-y than celebrating one's birthday? Brian just so happens to share the same birthday with someone else we might know, on Christmas Day, many, many moons ago. It seems almost to explain what this film is, because who hasn't seen this and enjoyed it? I mean, it was controversial upon its release and was banned by many councils, even to this day, but who hasn't heard or seen LIFE OF BRIAN at this point? Regardless, you've heard of MONTY PYTHON, and this is easily their best film. This film gave us "big nose", the "ex leper", and "what have the Romans ever done for us?" Do yourself a favor and watch this. It's an absolute treat for this Festive Season!
This week, we review the third film in the whodunnit series of Benoit Blanc mysteries: Wake Up Dead Man. After Knives Out and Glass Onion, director Rian Johnson returns to the reins of his favorite genre. We discuss the franchise's increasingly charismatic roster of secondary protagonists, the year of Josh O'Connor, and whether or not Johnson's penchant for heavy-handed topicality once again derails a Benoit Blanc tale.

On Rotten Tomatoes, it holds a 93% “Tomatometer” score, reflecting broad acclaim for its atmosphere, acting, and the way it blends horror-mystery tropes.
