A major server in San Jose is down, so you might not be able to reach your favorite site. Roblox is introducing facial recognition to verify users' ages. Tom Cruise was chatting up Sydney Sweeney at the Governors Awards, but she's with a dude named Scooter! Real Christmas trees are in trouble. Are we using too much butter? Definitely not. It's the time of year for family and food traditions - to each their own. Ariana Grande hints at a third Wicked movie. Speaking of Cher, she and Ariana Grande are hosting SNL's final episode of the year. A week before, Josh O'Connor will host promoting the new ‘Knives Out' film with Lily Allen as the musical guest. A 2nd hand doobie smoke turns around a whole flight. Vinnie's telling the hang about a potato bed hack, and it reminds Bob of Burning Man. The conversation gets interesting from there. Death is not an option: Caterpillar or frat boy sheets. Let's talk about some successful stars who ARE self made: Viola Davis, Selena Gomez, and Cardi B. Just because they are self made doesn't mean Vinnie likes them. The live action ‘Moana' trailer is here! Childless? AI can help! Maybe it's better to have pretend kids. San Francisco needs to step up its sins. Ronnie Wood (of The Rolling Stones) makes art that's inspiring in an unusual way. There's so many ways to embrace going gray, but Vinnie doesn't want to be Santa Claus. Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany Mahomes are not good artists, but it's probably not the reason their relationship is on the rocks. Weird Al has announced a tour! Don't forget to watch ‘Planes, Trains, & Automobiles' for Bob's Movie Club! Vinnie's got a disturbing story about a real life Black Mirror episode. Plus, how old is that guy?
Nick welcomes Nell Minow, The Movie Mom, back to the show for a lively mix of politics, pop culture, and film talk. They break down the latest political headlines from D.C., including reactions to the recent elections and Elon Musk's absurd pay package, before diving into Nell's brand-new book, Low Information. Nell also shares insights from her interview with the composer of the new “Knives Out” movie, her article celebrating the 50th anniversary of Siskel & Ebert, and her thoughts on a slate of current releases. Later, Esmeralda Leon joins Nick for another nostalgic pop culture deep dive — from Bond movies and a bizarre “Suddenly Susan” episode featuring Warren Zevon, to some truly forgotten relics of 90s TV like Northern Exposure, Two of a Kind, The Sifl and Olly Show, and the inexplicable MacGruder & Loud.

And then” isn't a plot, it's a queue. In this craft-forward episode, we swap “and then” for the more muscular because / but / therefore and show how tight causality turns scenes into story. You'll get a clear, jargon-free framework for chaining choices to consequences, plus two case studies that prove the point: a mini-autopsy of Pride & Prejudice and a contemporary comparison with Knives Out.In this episode you'll learn:Why causality (not act labels) is the real backbone of structureHow to convert event beats into decision beats with costsThe Because/But/Therefore test to expose sagging “and then” sequencesA quick Coincidence Audit (allowed to enter a story, never to exit it)A repeatable Scene Ledger: Goal → Opposition → Outcome → New Problem → Forced Next Action

Kambole Campbell (Empire Magazine, Vulture, Time Out) and Leslie Byron-Pitt (Fatal Attractions podcast) join Flixwatcher to review Kambole's choice The Boy and the Heron. The Boy and the Heron (2023) is the 12th Studio Ghibli animation written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki. The English dub version features the voices of Christian Bale as Shoichi Maki, Robert Pattinson as the Gray Heron, Florence Pugh as Kiriko, and Dave Bautista as the Parakeet King. The cast also includes Gemma Chan, Willem Dafoe, Karen Fukuhara, and Mark Hamill in other key roles. After losing his mother during the war, young Mahito moves to his family's estate in the countryside. There, a series of mysterious events lead him to a secluded and ancient tower, home to a mischievous gray heron. When Mahito's new stepmother disappears, he follows the gray heron into the tower, and enters a fantastic world shared by the living and the dead. As he embarks on an epic journey with the heron as his guide, Mahito must uncover the secrets of this world, and the truth about himself. Recommendability scores for The Boy and the Heron were mixed, the sprawling nature of the narrative and two hour run time were working against it to give an overall rating of 3.31.

Double Edgar Allan Poe! The Universal Classics deep dive continues with two very loose Poe adaptations: The Black Cat (1934) and The Raven (1935) both starring Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff. From wiki: “The Black Cat is a 1934 American pre-Code horror film directed by Edgar G. Ulmer and starring Boris Karloff and Béla Lugosi. It was Universal Pictures' biggest box office hit of the year, and was the first of eight films (six of which were produced by Universal) to feature both Karloff and Lugosi. In 1941, Lugosi appeared in a comedy horror mystery film with the same title, which was also named after and ostensibly "suggested by" Edgar Allan Poe's 1843 short story.”The Raven is a 1935 American horror film directed by Louis Friedlander (who started to be credited as Lew Landers the following year) and starring Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi. Billed as having been "suggested by" Edgar Allan Poe's 1845 poem of the same title, excerpts of which are quoted at a few points in the film, it was adapted from an original screenplay by David Boehm. Lugosi stars as a neurosurgeon obsessed with Poe who has a torture chamber in his basement, and Karloff plays an escaped murderer on the run from the police who Lugosi manipulates into doing his dirty work.Also discussed: ™, gay Halloween, Bubble Bath (1980), Frankenstein (2025), deaf crocodile, Soviet fantasy films, Knives Out, NEXT WEEK: Frankenstein (1931) and The Bride of Frankenstein (1935) Bloodhaus:https://www.bloodhauspod.com/https://www.instagram.com/bloodhauspod/https://letterboxd.com/bloodhaus/Drusilla Adeline:https://www.sisterhydedesign.com/https://letterboxd.com/sisterhyde/https://www.instagram.com/sister__hyde/Joshua Conkelhttps://www.joshuaconkel.com/https://www.instagram.com/joshua_conkel/https://letterboxd.com/JoshuaConkel/

Forty years after John Carpenter's legendary 1978 classic, Halloween (2018) brings Michael Myers back to Haddonfield in a terrifying reboot/sequel from director David Gordon Green (The Exorcist: Believer, Pineapple Express) and Blumhouse Productions. Ignoring all previous sequels, this entry reconnects directly to the original, with Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis – True Lies, Knives Out) now a hardened survivor preparing for her final confrontation with The Shape. When Michael Myers (James Jude Courtney – Far and Away, Buffy the Vampire Slayer stuntman) escapes custody after a bus transfer crash, he embarks on a brutal killing spree through Haddonfield on Halloween night. Key moments include Michael's horrifying single-take rampage through suburban homes, Laurie's booby-trapped house showdown, and the fiery climax that reignited the franchise. The cast also features Judy Greer (Archer, Jurassic World) as Karen Nelson, Laurie's daughter; Andi Matichak (Assimilate, Son) as Allyson Nelson, her granddaughter; Haluk Bilginer (Winter Sleep, EastEnders) as Dr. Sartain; and Will Patton (Remember the Titans, Armageddon) as Officer Hawkins.

Oscar Goff (Boston Hassle) returns as a murder suspect to help us discuss Knives Out! Together we dig into the careers of the ensemble, Rian Johnson's clever script, Netflix curse of these movies and 2019 in review
This week, Ben and Rob sink their teeth into Knives Out (2019), Rian Johnson's razor-sharp murder mystery starring Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon, Don Johnson, and Toni Collette. A modern riff on Agatha Christie, Knives Out blends old-school detective tropes with wickedly funny satire and a cast firing on all cylinders.But who is Rian Johnson, really? Why was Knives Out written in the first place? How does the film prove Johnson is a master liar, using misdirection to keep audiences guessing until the very last moment? And how did the fallout from Star Wars: The Last Jedi shape the way he wrote this murder mystery in the first place?Most importantly; what does Knives Out really mean beneath the laughs, the sweaters, and Benoit Blanc's legendary accent? The lads dive into Johnson's layered storytelling, the legacy of the whodunnit genre, and why this film became one of the most beloved mysteries of the century.PLUS!

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesRight after our episode last week, our pal James Gunn dropped big news on Wednesday - the next Superman film written by him will be called Man of Tomorrow. Gunn, David Corneswet, and others involved shared particular artwork by DC Comics President Jim Lee that showed Lex Luthor in a mech suit to make the announcement. In typical Gunn fashion, the DC Studios co-chair has teased this film isn't a direct sequel, but is the next installment in what he calls the “Superman saga.” The film's title is reminiscent of the Milly Alcock led Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, which releases next year. In other DC movie news, Weapons director Zach Cregger addressed rumors that have been circulating about his involvement with a Joker and Harley Quinn movie. Cregger called stories about him having written a treatment for the two iconic DC villains “blown out of proportion,” but did indicate that he has a couple of films he's interested in working on, though he hasn't spoken with James Gunn yet.At the Toronto International Film Festival last Friday, Ryan Reynolds finally admitted the internet's worst kept secret - that he was the one who leaked the original Deadpool test footage in 2014 to the world wide web. Reynolds went on to say that Fox simply didn't seem interested in releasing an R-rated superhero movie and his passion for the character led him to the extreme action, which he doesn't regret. Fans of Deadpool are likely forever grateful that Reynolds did what he did, which led to pressure on the studio to make the film a reality. In other questionable swings from stars both in front of and behind the camera, The Russos released a blurry image with the caption #Doomsday Is Coming via Instagram earlier today.No last rites are being read for horror at the box office this year, as the supposed final installment in the Conjuring universe, The Conjuring: Last Rites, raked in $84 million domestically this weekend for its opening. This massive box office marks the best for this franchise ever, and the third biggest opening for a horror film of all-time. Warner Brothers and New Line are laughing all the way to the bank, having projected a $35 million opening box office and the movie cost about $55 million to make. The film's global take as of today is $194 million. In other Conjuring news, a series in development at HBO Max set in the universe took a big step forward today, hiring Nancy Won as writer, executive producer, and showrunner, who will write the series alongside Peter Cameron and Cameron Squires. The Office spin off The Paper, which debuted its first season last week has been renewed for a second season on Peacock.Sony Pictures has released the first trailer for Nia DaCosta's “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple," the follow up to this year's 28 Years Later. The film is set to release on January 16.Prime Video has confirmed rumors that Game of Thrones alum Sophie Turner will play Lara Croft in its Tomb Raider series from creator, writer and co-showrunner Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Production on the series will begin in January.John C. McGinley has joined the cast of ABC's Scrubs reboot and will reprise his role as Dr. Perry Cox from the original series. He joins fellow returnees Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke, Donald Faison and Judy Reyes in the cast.The White Lotus creator Mike White and HBO have zeroed in on France as the location for the upcoming fourth season of the hit murder mystery comedy-drama series, sources tell Deadline.Two time Academy Award nominee Djimon Hounsou has joined the cast of Amazon MGM's reboot of Highlander, the Hollywood Reporter has learned exclusively.The first trailer for Rian Johnson's upcoming Knives Out film Knives Out: Wake Up Dead Man has been released. The film is set for release in select theaters Nov. 26 before its streaming debut December 12.

This week our hosts, Josh and Jade, dig into Netflix's new adaptation of Richard Osman's bestselling novel The Thursday Murder Club. Directed by Chris Columbus (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Home Alone), the film stars Helen Mirren, Ben Kingsley, Celia Imrie, Pierce Brosnan, and David Tennant in a murder mystery set in a quiet retirement community that's anything but sleepy.The hosts debate whether the ensemble's chemistry makes the story sparkle, if the plot holds up to the hype, and—most importantly—why Pierce Brosnan was even cast in this movie. Is this Netflix's answer to Knives Out, or just more streaming slop? Tune in to hear your favorite hosts talk trash.
Oscar-winning writer/director Ethan Coen (No Country For Old Men, Fargo) and wrtier/producer/editor Tricia Cooke (The Big Lebowski, O Brother Where Art Thou) collaborate on their second film together for the second year in a row after 2024's Drive Away Dolls. And once again, their film stars Emmy-nominee Margaret Qualley (Maid, Fosse/Verdon, The Substance) who this time is playing the titular Honey Donohue, who is a private detective investigating multiple murders around Bakersfield....could those crimes be connected? And do they all lead to the local corrupt preacher Drew Devlin played by Chris Evans? (Captain America trilogy, Knives Out, Sunshine) And just how does a local cop named MG Falcone (Aubrey Plaza) whom Honey strikes up a romance with exactly factor into all of this? Let's find out if even just one Coen brother can keep the magic going....

A few months back, Rian Johnson said he hopes the next Knives Out movie is in theaters for as long as possible. Netflix released that number this week and it probably is not what Johnson was hoping for. The Long Walk comes out this month and they have a real cool marketing idea. It is too bad that it is a little too much for public consumption.Your Host has one of those guilty pleasure premises that is impossible to resist. Four friends go to sleep (not by choice) and wake up to find themselves chained to a wall. A mysterious person stands in front of them and lets them know they are about to play a game for their lives. What follows is a series of deadly challenges in which it becomes clear there can only be one winner.There is not much more to it than that. It gets gory, eyes get stabbed, people die. And then after about an hour of this, Your Host decides it is time to deliver a message. And it is not just any old statement. They tackle one of the biggies. It is one of the clumsiest and most confusing things we have seen this year.Until Dawn is an awesome video game. It is scary, engaging, and most importantly, fun. We have been interested in seeing the adaptation. And unlike a lot of other gamers, we were not turned away from the fact it tells an original story. If anything, that makes it even more attractive.When we say “original story”, we do not mean it does things never done before. As a matter of fact, one of the things Until Dawn does is play with familiar horror tropes. It is a mixed bag that does a lot more right than wrong. Great kills, but not the best writing, for example. The end result is a flawed movie that is a lot of fun. Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network.

Case Notes, August 30th, 2025: A suspiciously cozy murder mystery has been committed. The suspects—Tommy Metz III, Mandy Kaplan, Steve Sarmento, and Justin “JJ” Jaeger—have assembled remotely, each with their own dubious alibis and hot takes. The film: The Thursday Murder Club, Netflix's big adaptation of Richard Osman's beloved novel. The crime? A charming cast, a confusing mystery, and a script that may or may not have committed third-degree exposition.This month's Film Board roundtable dives headfirst into the soft lighting and softer stakes of this senior-led whodunit. JJ comes in as the film's most vocal defender, praising its character-driven structure and comparing it (gasp!) to Knives Out. Tommy and Steve are less convinced, calling the movie pleasant but forgettable, faulting everything from flat cinematography to emotionally neutered finales. Mandy, the show's resident Osman superfan, mourns the depth lost in translation from page to screen. Pete, meanwhile, accuses Chris Columbus of directing every scene like it's the trailer—and not in a good way.From plot structure and adaptation choices to the aesthetics of Cooper's Chase and the misuses of Sir Ben Kingsley, this episode covers it all. Was it a missed opportunity or just an okay pizza? Can Helen Mirren's exposition dumps be forgiven? Did we really need the cold case? Should somebody address the case of Jonathan Pryce?If you love spirited disagreement, spoilers aplenty, and occasional emotional whiplash caused by the word “cake,” this is your episode.Watch & DiscoverWatch Now: NetflixOriginal Theatrical TrailerAdapted from The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman Support The Next Reel Family of Film Podcasts:Become a member for just $5/month or $55/yearJoin our Discord community of movie loversThe Next Reel Family of Film Podcasts:Cinema Scope: Bridging Genres, Subgenres, and MovementsThe Film BoardMovies We LikeThe Next Reel Film PodcastSitting in the DarkConnect With Us:Main Site: WebMovie Platforms: Letterboxd | FlickchartSocial Media: Facebook | Instagram | Threads | Bluesky | YouTube | PinterestYour Hosts: Pete | JJ | Steve | Tommy | Andy | Ocean Shop & Stream:Merch Store: Apparel, stickers, mugs & moreWatch Page: Buy/rent films we've discussedOriginals: Source material from our episodesSpecial offers: Letterboxd Pro/Patron discount | Audible
