This week, the boys grabbed some beers and kept it positive while they fired off some mini-reviews before featuring a conversation about “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”. As part of the random year generator series, 2004 was a great year for movies, with over 50 $100m movies and many likable ones. While “Eternal Sunshine” didn't gross in the top 70, it may be the year's greatest film. Props to Michel Gondry and Charlie Kaufman for giving Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet some juicy roles and incredibly shifty worlds! As for the mini-reviews, the boys can't speak highly enough of Gore Verbinski's “Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die”, starring Sam Rockwell, and the intense and captivating “If I Had Legs I'd Kick You”, and the Academy Award-nominated “It Was Just An Accident”.

If you're wondering whether Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die is worth watching in theaters, how it compares to other tech‑doom and AI apocalypse movies, or you just want a spoiler‑filled deep dive into its biggest twists and themes, this review is for you.

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die is a sci-fi comedy that feels silly, stressful, and uncomfortably relevant all at once.

In which the Mister joins me in reviewing GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON'T DIE(2026), from writer Matthew Robinson, the film is directed by Gore Verbinski. A manic time traveler (Sam Rockwell) from a dystopian future crashes into a Los Angeles diner to recruit a specific team of "unqualified" patrons for a high-stakes mission. The mismatched group—which includes a grieving mother, two cynical schoolteachers, and a woman in a princess outfit—must navigate a surreal, six-block urban gauntlet to stop a rogue artificial intelligence from reaching a world-ending singularity. As they battle phone-addicted hordes and reality-bending obstacles, the team is forced to confront their own digital fixations in a desperate race to prevent a future where humanity is lost to the machine. The film clocks in at 2 h and 14 m, is rated R and is currently in theaters. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.

First, Chris talks to David Jonsson and Tom Blyth, the stars of hard-hitting prison drama, Wasteman, about the impact of their movie, and wild auditions.

Three cracking interviews about three wildly different subjects. Every movie podcast is a miracle. Enjoy.

Insert coin and press start, because the original trio is back in the game! This week, The Filmlosophers are fully reunited as Hosts Eddie and Spencer welcome back the legendary Intern Manager/Managing Intern Amy to the studio. Together, they dive into the neon-soaked chaos of Gore Verbinski's Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die. The crew unpacks the manic energy of Sam Rockwell, debates whether Verbinski has crafted another weird masterpiece or just a beautiful mess, and decides if this high-octane ride is the ultimate love letter to sci-fi satire or just a fever dream with a budget. But before even the credits start, the competition heats up in the studio. Since the OG crew is back together, there's no better time for a showdown. Eddie takes the reins as game master, pitting Amy against Spencer in a brutal round of "Bad Logline Theater." The two face off to identify famous films based on the most poorly written, confusing, and hilariously vague descriptions the internet has to offer. It's a battle of wits, movie trivia, and wildly incorrect guesses as they try to decipher which cinematic classic is being butchered. It's an episode full of cinematic chaos, Rockwellian charm, and logline lunacy. So pull up a chair, grab your popcorn, and tune in to this week's "timey-wimey" episode of The Filmlosophers!
In this episode, we review the 2025 sci-fi action-adventure comedy directed by Gore Verbinski and starring Sam Rockwell, Michael Peña, and Zazie Beetz, titled Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die. We discuss whether the film does a good job of satirizing AI and its potential consequences, and we debate whether audiences are already growing tired of “AI is going to end the world” films.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on the pod, we're heading back to the Island to unpack Lost Season 4, Episode 4: “Eggtown.” It's a Kate-centric hour that blends domestic fantasy with legal thriller energy, as the flash-forwards finally start filling in the gaps of the Oceanic Six storyline. We break down what “Eggtown” reveals about Kate's need to run—even when she's trying to stay—why her off-Island life feels like a gilded cage, and how the episode uses motherhood as both redemption and self-deception. On the Island, alliances shift as Locke's camp fractures, Hurley's loyalty is tested, and Ben continues to manipulate literally everyone in the room. We dig into the moral chess match between Ben and Locke, the thematic meaning behind Kate's trial, and how this episode quietly sets the emotional stakes for the rest of Season 4.Then we shift gears into this weekend's new theatrical releases:First up, Gore Verbinski's Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die, starring Sam Rockwell, Haley Lu Richardson, and Juno Temple. We talk about Verbinski returning to large-scale genre filmmaking with a chaotic, high-concept sci-fi premise, Rockwell doing what Rockwell does best—existential panic with charm—and whether the film balances spectacle with heart or leans too far into cosmic weirdness.Next, Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights, led by Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi. We get into Fennell's gothic sensibilities, the challenge of reinterpreting such a brooding literary classic for modern audiences, and whether this version amplifies the romance, the toxicity, or both. Is it a lush prestige drama, a fever dream, or something more divisive?Finally, we break down Bart Layton's Crime 101, starring Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Halle Berry, and Barry Keoghan. A slick crime thriller with serious star power, this one promises cat-and-mouse tension and morally gray characters. We discuss whether Layton's documentary instincts sharpen the realism, how the ensemble chemistry plays out, and if the film delivers on its pulpy premise.Time travel, tragic romance, high-stakes heists—it's a packed episode. Be sure to keep coming back every week for more Talkin' Lost, since next week is a big one with the Constant, and as always be sure to subscribe for more content from the #talkintvpodcast

Life is like a jam-packed, extremely random box of chocolates on this week's episode of Breakfast All Day. Here's what we reviewed: WUTHERING HEIGHTS. Emerald Fennell's 14-year-old-girl fanfic version of the classic Emily Brontë novel is high on style but low on substance. Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie are a gorgeous Heathcliff and Cathy, but there's not much tension between them. See it for the dresses, though. In theaters. GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON'T DIE. An inspired title for a blast of a movie. Gore Verbinski's time-travel action comedy is zany, but it also has something serious to say about our reliance on technology. (Podcasts are OK, though.) Sam Rockwell, Haley Lu Richardson, Juno Temple, Zazie Beets and Michael Peña star. In theaters. CRIME 101. A well-crafted, well-acted LA noir in the spirit of "Heat." Chris Hemsworth stars as a jewel thief hitting targets along the 101 freeway. Mark Ruffalo is the police detective on his tail. Halle Berry is an insurance broker who gets caught up in his scheme. One of us liked this a lot more than the other. In theaters. MOVIE NEWS LIVE. Two weeks in a row! We're getting back to normal. Among the topics we discussed were the Spirit Awards this weekend, performers leaving Casey Wasserman's talent management company, the Winter Olympics, and the deaths of James Van Der Beek and Bud Cort. Join us at our YouTube channel Fridays at Noon Pacific. Enjoy yourself this Valentine's Day weekend! Thanks for sharing some of it with us.

"Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die." Is it the mantra we're repeating to get through 2026? Absolutely. Is it also a wickedly entertaining and intensely relevant sci-fi comedy about the horrors of artificial intelligence? Also correct! Gore Verbinski returns to the big screen after almost a decade with his fantastic warning against algorithms, datacenters, and mind-rotting technology. We'll dive into all the beeps and bloops of this gonzo flick, which deserves every dollar of your support.
Dave and Evan were looking forward to Gore Verbinski's GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON'T DIE (3:22). And then they saw the bloody thing. We'll let you listen and hear our thoughts rather than spill them here. But if you'd like a preview, here's Dave's Letterboxd review. Over on Patreon, we talk about the 2024 thriller RELAY, by the director of HELL OR HIGH WATER.
Caleb Masters provides a quick mini-review of director Gore Verbinski's first film in 10 years, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die. The post Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die Bonus Mini-Review appeared first on The Cinematropolis.
Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy are back on the review beat with eight new titles this week. They include another video game adaptation (The Mortuary Assistant), Juliette Lewis becomes a chair (By Design) while an actual goat tries to become one (GOAT). The world is in trouble with green alien fungus (Cold Storage) as well as AI in Gore Verbinski's first film in nine years (Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die). Chris Hemsworth is feeling the heat as a thief from Mark Ruffalo and Halle Berry (Crime 101). The director of Blackberry returns what possibly could be the funniest film of 2026 (Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie) while Emerald Fennell returns with what definitely won't be.

"Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die" is a science fiction action-adventure comedy film directed by Gore Verbinski and written by Matthew Robinson. The film stars Sam Rockwell, Haley Lu Richardson, Michael Peña, Zazie Beetz, Asim Chaudhry, Tom Taylor, and Juno Temple. It tells the story of a man from the future who travels to the past and recruits the patrons of a Los Angeles diner he arrives in to help combat a rogue artificial intelligence. The film premiered at the 2025 Fantastic Fest, where it received positive reviews for its premise, performances, and Verbinski's direction on a smaller budget than what we're used to seeing from him. Verbinski, Rockwell, Lu Richardson, Peña, and Beetz were all kind enough to spend some time talking with us about their work and experience making the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which will open in theaters on February 13th from Briarcliff Entertainment. Thank you, and enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...

Hey horror fans!! This week writer and filmmaker Matthew Robinson joins us to talk about his new genre bending thriller Good Luck Have Fun Don't Die, a modern day Twilight Zone style story that mixes AI, tech obsession, and social chaos with sharp humor and unexpected twists. Matthew shares behind the scenes stories about writing for a stacked ensemble cast, working with actors like Haley Lu Richardson and Sam Rockwell, and what it was like seeing the script transform once a director like Gore Verbinski came on board. He also talks about his breakthrough film The Invention of Lying and how co-directing with Ricky Gervais helped launch his career.Before Matthew joins the conversation we cover the latest horror news including Mike Flanagan tackling Stephen Kings The Mist and of course finish with our Mostly Horror Recommendations of the Week.If you love wild stories, clever twists, and hearing how movies get made, this is for you sooo...

For episode 278, I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes. This episode comes before Valentine's Day this weekend, so we're talking romantic comedies, romance on screen, and more. Some of it ties into the impending release of Wuthering Heights (reviewed here). With Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie hitting theaters (my rave review is here) as well, we also end up dovetailing that into a discussion of the Back to the Future trilogy for...reasons. Throw in a discussion about Gore Verbinski (my interview with him is right here), your questions, a rom-com game, and more, and despite recovering from a cold, we still pack plenty into this episode...As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 278th one to date (here's to many more). Of course, feel free to revisit the previous installments by clicking the Podcast tab (here) on the top of the page. Plus, listen to us on Apple Podcasts (iTunes), Spotify, and other platforms. More to come each and every single week, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you for listening!
Composer Geoff Zanelli joins Filmmaker Mixer to break down his bold, experimental score for Gore Verbinski's Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die, opening February 13. From punk and Zappa influences to orchestral chaos, this score was designed to be anything—and everything. Zanelli dives into his collaborative process with Verbinski, recording nearly 100 musicians, transforming cello into new sonic textures, and building a “nine-headed monster” of a score using handmade guitars, synths, and absurdist choir Latin. Filmmakers will learn how creative freedom shapes bold musical choices and how unconventional workflows can elevate a film.
You've really got to love the jolt of pure cinematic adrenaline that hits when a movie announces itself with extreme confidence instead of apology. “Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die” does it by storming into a Los Angeles diner and unleashing a crazed, high‑wire opening monologue that plays like a dare, a sales pitch, and an exhausted rallying cry all at once. From the jump, the film makes it clear it is not here to calm you down. It's here to wake you the hell up. THE ROBOTS ARE COMING! THE ROBOTS ARE COMING!Directed by Gore Verbinski ("Pirates of the Caribbean," " Rango"), the film follows a mysterious man from "the future” (Sam Rockwell) who arrives at a diner with one urgent task: he must recruit the precise combination of disgruntled patrons to join him on a one‑night quest to save the world from the terminal threat of a rogue artificial intelligence. That reluctant group includes Zazie Beetz, Michael Peña, Haley Lu Richardson, and Juno Temple. What unfolds is a kinetic collision of sci‑fi, action, romance, and social satire that never lets up until the credits roll. Think "Terminator" on a healthy combo of acid & mushrooms and you've mostly got it. Joining The Discourse for a set of conversations on the film, Gore Verbinski, Sam Rockwell, Zazie Beetz, and Michael Peña dug into how the film's energy, tone, and unapologetic weirdness were not accidents, but the entire point.
Welcome to The B-Side! Here we talk about movie stars! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between. And sometimes we're lucky enough to talk to the movie stars about their B-Sides. The great Sam Rockwell joins us today to chat about his new film, Gore Verbinski's Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die, as well as B-Sides like Lawn Dogs, Safe Men, Snow Angels, and The Winning Season. We marvel at the range Rockwell has, the sheer amount of films he's made (big and small alike), and the line reads from the Martin McDonagh comedy Seven Psychopaths.

Time has an interesting way of guiding us, even when we are not paying attention. Nearly nine years removed exactly from the release of Gore Verbinski’s last theatrical outing, I found myself implored to finally visit his unsung, discarded, psychological thriller because I was enthralled by his latest work. To say A Cure For Wellness […]
