Fighting crime full-time as Spider-Man in a world that doesn't remember him -- and the pressure of seeing his old friends move on without him -- sparks a change in Peter he may not have the power to control.

But they soon discover that something is hunting them under the water… fast, silent, and deadly.

The Strange Harbors Podcast

One of our longest episodes ever in which we review the movie of the summer: Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. We discuss the filmmaker's ongoing battle with his inner clinician, an updated ranking of the filmography, and the odd right-wing backlash facing the movie. Nolan continues from 2023's Oppenheimer his reflection of our own cracked modernity and its broad gesture towards the death of civility, but does The Odyssey maintain its predecessor's craft and evocative core?

for the full episode join the Patreon [patreon.com/fashiongrunge] Now, there are movies that are true time capsules. They capture the feeling and specific aura of time. In my rewatch of Palo Alto from 2013 I was instantly transported back to that time period. For me it was a very specific set of aesthetics and music that lived on the internet and Tumblr specifically and this whole movie felt like wandering through a blog. I was transfixed by this after my first watch at the cinema. The soundtrack lived in my head for months and still is one of my favorites. During my rewatch this time I could see the cracks in the story that I didn't see before. The truly blandness of the story, some of the most unlikeable characters, and the whole problematic nature of James Franco and his sleazy role in this film adapted from his short stories. I've decided to put this in my 'kinda bad, but I like it' category. I get into the behind the scenes short film that was produced for it, the normie but relatable fashion, and the lack of technology that felt like a breath of fresh air in the story.

Send us Fan MailA murder mystery where the sharpest minds belong to a flock of sheep sounds like a joke, until “Sheep Detectives” somehow turns it into a genuinely cozy, surprisingly satisfying whodunit. We walk through what makes the premise work: a shepherd named George (Logan) dies, and the animals he cared for try to piece together the truth using the logic of the murder novels he used to read aloud each night. It's wholesome, a little strange, and way more nostalgic than we expected for a brand-new Amazon movie.We dig into the details that pulled us in, from the “orf” subplot (yes, it's a real sheep disease) to the film's comfort-movie pacing that feels like the era of classic CGI farm animal stories. Then we get into the performances and why the voice cast is shockingly stacked, plus how accents and character reads can either distract you or completely sell the emotion. If you love mystery movies that play fair with clues, you'll want to hear who we suspected first and why the reveal feels earned instead of random.And we have to talk about the “Winter Lamb.” That storyline hit us hard, then we went looking for real-world sheep facts and realized the movie might be pushing our empathy buttons on purpose. It leads to a bigger conversation about why animal stories feel so comforting, how routines and companionship shape the bond between humans and pets, and why this film sticks with you after the mystery is solved.If you enjoy cozy mysteries, family-friendly movies, clever voice acting, or just want a fun Prime Video recommendation, hit play, subscribe, and share the episode with a friend.

This week on Bad Dads Film Review, the dads dive into Luc Besson's cult aquatic epic The Big Blue — a nearly three-hour blend of freediving rivalry, French mysticism, Jean Reno charisma, dolphin longing and some deeply questionable romantic choices.What we coveredLe Grand Bleu: the original title, the French phenomenon, and whether saying it properly makes the film any shorter.The director's cut runtime and the general feeling that 168 minutes is a lot of ocean.The black-and-white childhood opening in Greece, where Jacques and Enzo's friendship/rivalry begins.Jacques witnessing his father's diving death, and how the sea becomes both trauma and home.Enzo's adult introduction: Jean Reno in full swagger mode, rescuing a trapped diver and somehow turning it into a payday.Jacques as scientific anomaly: slowing his heart rate, bonding with dolphins, and generally behaving less like a man than an aquatic screensaver with cheekbones.Rosanna Arquette's Johana, who falls hard for Jacques and makes some bold career decisions in pursuit of a man who would rather be underwater.The freediving championship sequences, including the dads trying to understand how niche sport fame works.Breath-holding records, Kate Winslet's lungs, pure oxygen cheating, and the grim reality that most of us are good for about 35 seconds.Enzo and Jacques' rivalry: affectionate, macho, dangerous, and meaningful mostly because Enzo needs it to be.The film's underwater photography, which everyone agrees is often genuinely impressive.The score, which won a César and still gets absolutely battered here.Cris's appreciation of the costumes, wetsuits, shirts, colour coordination and general seaside style.The dolphin break-out sequence, aka the brief Free Willy section of the film.Enzo's fatal final dive and Jacques' decision to return him to the depths.Jacques' final choice, Johana's pregnancy, and whether the ending is poetic transcendence or a man abandoning responsibility via dolphin.Key moments / quotesSidey clocks the film as having a “runtime of 73 hours”.Dan admits he chose it and remembered liking it, but that it was not as great as he remembered.Reegs describes the Amazon Prime aspect-ratio problem as so bad he had to find another version to watch it properly.Sidey asks whether Luc Besson edited it himself, because surely someone should have said: “This is not a fucking three-hour movie.”Reegs objects to the film romanticising Jacques, describing the ending as abandonment of a pregnant woman through grief and dolphins.Cris likes the style more than the film: the beachwear, shirts, boat shoes, wetsuits and Italian flag diving suit all get more enthusiasm than the story.Dan still has affection for the film's imagery, Jean Reno and the childhood memory of its oceanic grandeur.VerdictThe dads admire the look, the water photography and Jean Reno, but the film takes a pasting for length, pretension, thin characterisation, the writing of Johana, and Jacques being less romantic hero than emotionally unavailable dolphin botherer.A very Bad Dads kind of strong recommend: if you have three hours spare and absolutely nothing else to do, you might come away with some nice water and a deep desire to watch football instead.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

THE DREAMERS seemed surprisingly embraced after the incredibly problematic experience of LAST TANGO IN PARIS (which we cover in brief but will tackle at a later date). It's a really well-made piece of filmmaking, which marks the film debut of Eva Green (discounting her uncredited appearance in Haneke's THE PIANO TEACHER) alongside Michael Pitt and Louis Garrel playing the other young “dreamers” in this ménage à trois. There's some stuff in this movie that, if we went into it now, we would easily get censored. But what do you expect from a filmmaker who studied under the likes of Paolo Pasolini?

The Strange Harbors Podcast

This week we are reviewing Apple TV's summer sensation, Widow's Bay, a horror comedy set in a "cursed" New England hamlet. Starring Matthew Rhys, Stephen Root, Kate O'Flynn, Dale Dickey, and Kevin Carroll, the series blends dry workplace humor with Stephen King-esque frights. With sea hags, crawlspace clowns, and a desperate mayor's office, Widow's Bay finds its unique brand propelling itself into the number one show on Apple TV. We discuss its bracing first season, its incredible performances, and its unlikely provenance from the mind of a former Parks & Recreation writer.

“He permed me!” Shelley Long donned red hair, a permanent smile, and a wide array of designer dresses for 1989's Troop Beverly Hills. Upon release, the comedy didn't sell nearly enough Wilderness Girls' cookies to break even at the box office, and it got no merit badges from critics either. But now, decades later, has our appreciation of Beverly Hills housewives evolved? Is it possible to garner sympathy for ultra-privileged kids? And what's Tori Spelling doing in this thing?
