EMERGENCY EPISODE!The boys call an emergency episode to talk about MERCY, a movie that came and went faster than Chris Pratt's lovable era.Steve and Justin have a million questions about this Philip K. Limp Dick entry in the hard sci-fi genre, like: “Is this pro- or anti-AI?”, “Why did Rebecca Ferguson agree to this?”, and “WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED, ANDY DWYER??” Luckily, Judge Maddox herself is here to clear some of it up.MERCY is already a strong contender for worst movie of 2026, but unlike real AI, it has no capacity to learn anything.Check out more from Justin here: justindodd.rocksCheck out more from Steve here: stevejhward.comdrinkgenies.com

Neue Podcast‑Episode: „Marty Supreme“, „Scarlet“, „Mercy“ & „Almost Famous“ – Analysen, Eindrücke und Empfehlungen In dieser Episode unseres Filmpodcasts nehmen wir vier Titel unter die Lupe, die unterschiedlicher kaum sein könnten – und genau deshalb eine perfekte Mischung für alle Filmfans bilden: das für neun Oscars nominierte Prestige‑Drama „Marty Supreme“ mit Timothée Chalamet und Gwyneth Paltrow, das poetische Anime‑Erlebnis „Scarlet“ von Mamoru Hosoda, der spannungsgeladene Thriller „Mercy“ mit Chris Pratt und Rebecca Ferguson sowie der Coming‑of‑Age‑Klassiker „Almost Famous“ von Cameron Crowe. Wir sprechen zunächst über „Marty Supreme“ und stellen die Frage, was einen echten Awards‑Favoriten ausmacht: Wie greift die Inszenierung die Themen des Films auf? Welche Akzente setzen Chalamet und Paltrow in ihren Rollen? Und welche Szenen bleiben als filmische Statements im Gedächtnis? Unsere Analyse beleuchtet Dramaturgie, Bildsprache und die emotionale Wirkung, die den Film für ein breites Publikum attraktiv macht. Mit „Scarlet“ wechseln wir in die Welt des japanischen Animationsfilms. Regisseur Mamoru Hosoda ist bekannt für Geschichten, die große Gefühle, Familienbande und Wachstumserfahrungen mit einer ausdrucksstarken Bildästhetik verbinden. Wir diskutieren, welche Motive Hosoda hier aufgreift, wie sich die Figurenentwicklung entfaltet und warum der Film sowohl Anime‑Neulinge als auch erfahrene Fans anspricht. In „Mercy“ rücken dann Spannung und Tempo in den Vordergrund: Chris Pratt und Rebecca Ferguson tragen einen Thriller, der auf starke Set‑pieces, klare Konflikte und ein hohes Erzähltempo setzt. Wir erläutern, was den Nervenkitzel treibt, wie die Figurenkonstellation funktioniert und warum die Dramaturgie bis zum Schluss fesselt – ohne dabei auf platte Effekthascherei zu setzen. Zum Abschluss feiern wir „Almost Famous“ – Cameron Crowes liebevollen Blick auf Musik, Jugend und Selbstfindung. Der Film verbindet Road‑Movie‑Vibes mit treffender Milieubeobachtung und unvergesslichen Momenten, die seit Jahren Fans weltweit berühren. Wir ordnen die Relevanz des Klassikers für heutige Zuschauer ein und geben Tipps, worauf man beim Rewatch achten sollte. Ob du nach einer fundierten Filmkritik, einer Spoiler‑freien Empfehlung oder einfach nach neuen Kinotipps suchst – diese Episode liefert dir Orientierung und Inspiration.

 “At the end of the Cold War, global powers reached the consensus that the world would be better off with fewer nuclear weapons. That era is now over.” It's gripping cinema. It also feels like Obama fan fiction, and it ignores the basic tenants of nuclear strategy. It's Kathryn Bigelow's A House of Dynamite.Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media 

Chris Pratt's new movie takes us into a time where if you've been accused of a violent crime, no lawyer and no jury for you! “Mercy” is about a new AI criminal justice system that uses its super-duper AI powers to play judge, jury and executioner to those accused of violent crime. The accused are locked into a chair and sit face to face with the Mercy AI system which appears in the form of Rebecca Ferguson who looks better than most judges you'll deal with. The accused then has 90 minutes to prove their innocence, and has the AI power of Mercy at their fingertips to do so. It's a cinematic interpretation of the saying “Someone who is their own lawyer has a fool for a client.” In this movie's case, Pratt is a detective so he's got a bit of criminal investigation experience and he puts it to use after he's the one in the Mercy chair, accused of killing his wife. He gets to look through all the evidence. Call anyone in the law enforcement community and they'll go anywhere you need them to in order to find clues, leads, etc. As Pratt leads this investigation to clear himself, he uncovers a sinister plot. Is it worth finding out more in the theater? Watch this episode to find out! “Mercy” also stars Annabelle Wallis, Chris Sullivan, Kali Reis, Kylie Rogers, Jeff Pierre, Rafi Gavron, Kenneth Choi, Jamie McBride and Ross Gosla. Support the showFeel free to reach out to me via:@MoviesMerica on Twitter @moviesmerica on InstagramMovies Merica on Facebook

This month on The Film Board, Pete Wright drags Andy Nelson, Tommy Metz III, and Steve Sarmento into an emergency bonus hearing because Andy texted, essentially, “We can't skip a month. Also I found a movie.” That movie is Mercy, a slick, noisy, deeply committed screenlife thriller where Chris Pratt wakes up strapped into a futuristic execution-chair-courtroom and has 90 minutes to prove he didn't kill his wife. The judge is an AI who looks like Rebecca Ferguson. Which is frankly unfair to every other AI.From there, it's a full-spoilers sprint through a world where justice is software, surveillance is just “normal life,” and every single camera on Earth is apparently pointed at exactly the wrong moment. The panel fights over what Mercy thinks it's doing (a cautionary tale about AI and institutions) versus what it actually does (a pulpy, coincidence-powered ride that occasionally forgets its own premise and wanders off toward terrorism and explosions).Andy is… not having it. Steve is torn in the way only a lover of scrappy sci-fi concepts can be: “It's messy, but I'm intrigued.” Tommy—who walked in expecting bargain-bin January nonsense—ends up delighted, especially after an accidental 3D screening turns the whole thing into a theme-park attraction where the chair is the main character. Pete tries to keep the court metaphor alive long enough to pronounce a verdict, but keeps getting distracted by the movie's most dangerous idea: not the AI, but the assumption that the only way to get “justice” is if the system can see literally everything.Also: yes, we talk about the wind. The screens have wind.Watch & DiscoverWatch Now: Apple TV | Amazon | LetterboxdOriginal Theatrical Trailer Support The Next Reel Family of Film Shows:Become a member for just $5/month or $55/yearJoin our Discord community of movie loversThe Next Reel Family of Film Shows:Cinema Scope: Bridging Genres, Subgenres, and MovementsThe Film BoardMovies We LikeThe Next ReelSitting 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: Audible

From rabid chimps in Hawaii to AI judges in the near future, we are covering the wild, the weird, and the wonderful in this week's episode.We're going bananas (sorry, had to) over the new horror sensation Primate, directed by Johannes Roberts (47 Meters Down). Set in sunny Hawaii, this isn't your average vacation—it's a "slasher" where the killer is a pet chimp named Ben who has contracted a nasty case of rabies. We discuss if this 90-minute monkey-fest is worth your time. Fun Flix Fact: The film stars Oscar-winner Troy Kotsur (CODA). Director Johannes Roberts uses Kotsur's deafness to create an incredibly tense scene where the movie goes completely silent, showing us the horror from his perspective as the rabid chimp stalks around him entirely unheard!Next, we're checking out Mercy, the high-concept sci-fi thriller starring Chris Pratt and Rebecca Ferguson. Pratt plays a detective accused of a crime who has exactly 90 minutes to prove his innocence to an AI judge he actually helped create. It's a race against the clock that will make you look at your Smart Home devices a little differently.Fun Flix Fact: Director Timur Bekmambetov—the visionary behind the "curving bullets" in Wanted—designed the trial to play out in near real-time. The 90-minute ticking clock in the movie almost perfectly matches the film's actual runtime!Since Primate has us obsessed with "Maniac Monkeys," we're traveling back 40 years to the cult classic Link. Starring a young Elisabeth Shue, this British horror features a super-intelligent chimp (who is also a butler!) who turns homicidal when he's threatened with retirement.Fun Flix Fact: "Link" was actually played by an orangutan named Locke! To make him look like a chimpanzee, the trainers had to dye his fur black and fit him with prosthetic ears. It worked so well that most audiences never even realized he was a different species!And if that's not enough entertainment for you, we've even thrown in new trailers to watch and what you can catch on streaming. Press play for the friendliest film discussions this side of Hollywood!

In this spoiler-filled deep dive into Mercy, Cupcake and The WillDaBeast break down everything — from Chris Pratt's controversial casting as a morally grey cop strapped to a chair for 90 minutes, to Rebecca Ferguson's stunning performance as an AI judge, jury, and executioner. Is this screen-life thriller actually a hidden gem, or is it the worst movie of 2026? We're discussing the shocking twist, the revenge plot, the OJ Simpson parallels, the script's wild swings between AI commentary and criminal justice critique, and whether director Timur Bekmambetov's bold cinematic experiment actually paid off. If you loved Missing or Searching, this one's in your wheelhouse — and if you hated it, trust us, we fought about it too. Watch, Skip, or Plus — drop your take in the comments!

Our hosts debate Chris Pratt's casting, Rebecca Ferguson's AI judge performance, the film's real-time 90-minute format, and whether this thriller succeeds as social commentary on AI technology.

In 2017, Hugh Jackman led an ensemble cast in a musical based on the life of circus ringmaster P.T. Barnum, which proved to be a smash hit at the box office. Co-starring Zac Effron, Michelle Williams, Rebecca Ferguson, Paul Sparks, and including Zendaya, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Keala Settle, Sam Humphrey, Eric Anderson, and Natasha Liu Bordizzo as members of Barnum's freakshow, with songs by Benji Pasek and Justin Paul, this film directed by Michael Gracey earned multiple awards and nominations, including a Grammy for its soundtrack. However, critics were mixed, praising its music and production, but roasting the film's historical revisionism and melodramatic approach. With a stage musical coming to the West End later this year, will our hosts decide that the greatest show on Earth is The Greatest Showman? Or would we rather run away to join the circus than have to watch it again?   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com    You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

In this week's episode of the world's fastest movie review podcast, hosts Jackson Murphy and Mike Sargent kick off their seventh season by diving into two new films and discuss their Oscar nomination thoughts. First, a rapid review of 'H IS FOR HAWK'. Following the sudden death of her father, writer Helen Macdonald retreats into grief and obsession, training a goshawk named Mabel as a way to survive profound loss. As her isolation deepens, the line between human control and wild instinct begins to blur. starring Stars: Claire Foy, Brendan Gleeson and Denise Gough. Then a quick review of "MERCY" Set in a near-future judicial system dominated by artificial intelligence. The film follows a Detective who finds himself on trial for the murder of his wife. He has just 90 minutes to prove his innocence to an advanced AI judge, before the system renders its verdict. Starring Chris Pratt and Rebecca Ferguson. Then a speedy discussion on the 2026 Oscar Nom's.

This week's episode of the Empire Podcast sees Chris Hewitt sit down with two wonderful guests — first, we strap Chris Pratt to a chair (metaphorically speaking, that is) and ask him about his new thriller, Mercy, in which he does battle with an A.I. judge played by Rebecca Ferguson; [25:50 - 40:14 approx] and then Claire Foy, star of this week's moving drama, H Is For Hawk, drops by the office to talk about working with goshawks and Gleeson, Brendan. [1:13:07 - 1:32:55 approx] Both are delights, we're sure you'll agree. Either side of those, Chris is joined in the podbooth by Helen O'Hara, James Dyer and, briefly, Beth Webb for a fun episode in which they reveal their specialist subject on Mastermind, discuss great movie doctors, review No Other Choice, Saipan, Mercy, The History Of Sound, and H Is For Hawk, and go all-in on Oscar nominations discussion in a bumper-sized movie news section. It's all here, apart from the bits we cut out. Enjoy!

It's Oscar nominations week, so we're playing catch up as well as slogging through some extremely January movies. We recorded these reviews before Thursday's Academy announcement, so we have a couple of updates for you: Amanda Seyfried didn't get a nomination for "The Testament of Ann Lee," but "Come See Me in the Good Light" did make it into the documentary feature category. Here's what we discussed: MERCY. Chris Pratt is a police detective accused of killing his wife in a futuristic hellscape of Los Angeles. He has 90 minutes to prove his innocence before an AI judge (Rebecca Ferguson) or he'll be executed. We debate exactly what this Amazon release is propaganda for, but agree that it (and Pratt) are terrible. In theaters. THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE. Amanda Seyfried IS Ann Lee, found of the Shaker religious movement, in director and co-writer Mona Fastvold's ambitious musical. This had a brief awards run at the end of 2025 and is returning to theaters this weekend. The song and dance numbers are mesmerizing. COME SEE ME IN THE GOOD LIGHT. The late poet Andrea Gibson is the subject of this intimate documentary, which is alternately hilarious and heartbreaking but always stirring. Director Ryan White follows the genderqueer Gibson and their partner as they navigate a lengthy and painful cancer battle, but there's plenty of room for humor and even hope. Streaming on Apple TV.

Artificial Intelligence is once again the antagonist in the sci-fi thriller, "Mercy." Set in the crime-ridden near future, Chris Pratt plays a detective on trial for his wife's murder. He has 90 minutes to convince an A.I. judge, played by Rebecca Ferguson, of his innocence. While it gets a bit goofy and stretches credibility to the limit, “Mercy" gets to its over-the-top climax in an entertaining manner. The gentle British drama "H is for Hawk" is based on an acclaimed memoir. Claire Foy plays naturalist Helen Macdonald who spent a year training a goshawk. She used the experience to cope with the death of her father and her own clinical depression. “H is for Hawk” is relatable, thanks to Foy's performance, but never quite soars. Another strong performance from Maika Monroe can't save the depressing crime thriller, "In Cold Light." Monroe plays a drug dealer recently released from prison who wants back in the game but comes into conflict with mobsters and crooked cops. Good guys are hard to find here. "In Cold Light” is a little too cold and a little too calculated. The two-part HBO Max documentary "Mel Brooks: The 99-Year-Old Man" is a funny, loving and sometimes critical look at life of the legendary comedian and filmmaker from director/interviewer Judd Apatow. Brooks, who is both revered and reviled for his low-brow comedies like "Blazing Saddles" and "Young Frankenstein" is a natural performer who may not always be candid in his interviews, but he's always entertaining. A lineup of famous comics shares their adoration, and some family members share their criticism. Overall, “Mel Brooks: The 99-Year-Old Man” is a worthwhile overview of a remarkable life.

Mercy is an upcoming American science fiction action thriller film starring Chris Pratt, Rebecca Ferguson, Kali Reis, Annabelle Wallis, Chris Sullivan, and Kylie Rogers. It is directed by Timur Bekmambetov. In the near future, an advanced AI judge tells a captive detective that he's on trial for the murder of his wife. If he fails to prove his innocence within 90 minutes, he'll be executed on the spotHosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

We're very excited to be bringing you this latest episode, recorded in front of an audience as part of our Everyman Soundtracking film club. Edith was joined on stage by Kathryn Bigelow, Noah Oppenheim, Greg Shapiro, Rebecca Ferguson and Volker Bertelmann after a screening of Kathryn's Netflix film, A House Of Dynamite. Told non-chronologically and from multiple perspectives, the narrative follows the responses of different US government and military officials after an unknown adversary launches a single intercontinental ballistic missile at a North American city.

Today on New Movie Monday we hide under our desk and wait for the fall out of A House of Dynamite. We discuss the films decision to tell the story in three parallell points of view, the existentail dread posed by a world full of nuclear weapons, and the abrupt ending of the film. This one has been divisive with the host, we would love to know what you think.  Synopsis: When a single, unattributed missile is launched at the United States, a race begins to determine who is responsible and how to respond. Starring: Idris Elba, Rebecca Ferguson, Jared Harris, Anthony Ramos, Tracy Letts Directed by Kathryn Bigelow Youtube: https://youtu.be/vZ-__4XRJk0 Help us make our first feature length Messed Up Movie: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/mr-creamjean-s-hidey-hole-horror-comedy-movie#/ Support the show on the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/messedupmoviespod Watch our newest short film Sugar Tits Now! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sz7leFqqo4g  

Today, Les, Jamil, Morgan, and Jess break from the usual policy deep-dives for a special episode: a review of A House of Dynamite, the new 90-minute Netflix thriller that imagines a nuclear missile headed straight for the United States. The film unfolds through three overlapping vantage points—a Navy captain running the White House Situation Room, a deputy national security advisor suddenly thrust into a life-or-death decision cycle, and a Secretary of Defense guiding a president portrayed by Idris Elba. With standout performances from Jared Harris, Rebecca Ferguson, and newcomer Gabriel Basso, the movie blends high-stakes crisis response with surprisingly grounded depictions of how the U.S. government might react in the unthinkable scenario of an inbound nuclear strike.How realistic is Hollywood's take on nuclear command and control? Which perspective offers the most credible view of how the system actually works? And what does the film get right—or wrong—about the speed, uncertainty, and pressure of decision-making when minutes determine national survival?@lestermunson@jamil_n_jaffer@nottvjessjones@morganlroachLike what we're doing here?

Sean and Amanda start the show by covering the major box office success of ‘Chainsaw Man,' reacting to the news that Cinemark is opening myriad new 70 mm IMAX screens across the country, and discussing what it represents for the future of moviegoing (2:00). Then, they deep dive into Kathryn Bigelow's new film, ‘A House of Dynamite,' starring Rebecca Ferguson. They unpack their very complicated feelings by highlighting what they found successful, including a titillating first act and some strong performances, and they address its major flaws, most notably a wild third act that features a deeply unsuccessful performance from Idris Elba (12:59). Finally, Adam Nayman joins the show to discuss Kelly Reichardt's new film, ‘The Mastermind,' starring Josh O'Connor as an outcast loner (1:07:46). They talk about Reichardt's ability to identify this type of character and give credit to her and O'Connor for crafting such a wonderful performance.

For the first time, Skip Intro goes to The Paris Theater in Manhattan to sit down with Rebecca Ferguson who stars as Captain Olivia Walker in A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE. Directed by Oscar-winning Kathryn Bigelow, the film was screened this month at the historic 535-seat theater — NYC's longest-running arthouse cinema. Ferguson shares what it was like to read the powerful script written by Noah Oppenheim and how working with Bigelow was unlike any other experience on set. The Mission Impossible actor also talks about jumping off the roof of the Vienna State Opera with Tom Cruise, Denis Villeneuve's love of veils and jingle jangles in Dune, and teases Netflix's upcoming Peaky Blinders movie with Cillian Murphy. Video episodes available on Still Watching Netflix YouTube Channel. Listen to more from Netflix Podcasts.

This week's Empire Podcast sees Chris Hewitt struggle with the enunciation of one word in particular (you'll have to listen to find out which). Incredibly, it's not 'Howl-o-ween', which is just one of the many things discussed by Chris and his three colleagues of such lethal cunning, Helen O'Hara, James Dyer, and Ben Travis. They get their teeth into movies in which a main character is ill, talk about the shock revelation that Adam Driver and Steven Soderbergh had developed a literal Solo movie for Kylo Ren, and review Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, Nia DaCosta's Hedda, and Kelly Reichardt's The Mastermind. Guest-wise, we have a veritable bounty as Helen has a lovely chat with Nia DaCosta, and Chris talks to Jeremy Strong, star of the Springsteen flick; and has a joyous natter about the end of the world with Rebecca Ferguson and Kathryn Bigelow, star and director respectively of A House Of Dynamite, which is now out on Netflix. No timecodes yet, as the guy who writes this blurb has to leg it to a screening. But they're roughly 23 minutes, one hour and three minutes in, and one hour and 38 minutes in. Enjoy!

From Oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelow (The Hurt Locker, Zero Dark Thirty, Point Break) comes her first feature film in in more than eight years and it might very well be THE scariest film of the year. :o The premise is simple: a lone nuclear missile has been launched from somewhere in the Pacific and is on a trajectory to land somewhere in the continental United States....in twenty minutes.  This nuclear thriller takes us through the various corridors of power of the governernment and those in the most responsive positions in the military - we watch as they scramble not only how to figure out how to prevent this weapon from hitting its target, but also how our military should respond if it DOES hit its target, possibly resulting in the instant deaths of millions of civilians.  It's a terrifying sceanario and Bigelow has assembled a top-flight cast lead by Idris Elba, Rebecca Ferguson, Tracey Letts, Gabriel Basso, Anthony Ramos, Greta Lee, and Jared Harris.  The clock is ticking.....Host: Geoff GershonEdited By Ella GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a textSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

THIS IS A PREVIEW PODCAST. NOT THE FULL REVIEW. Please check out the full podcast review on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture For this week's third podcast review, Josh Parham and Giovanni Lago join me to review and discuss the latest film from Kathryn Bigelow, "A House Of Dynamite," starring Idris Elba, Rebecca Ferguson, Gabriel Basso, Jared Harris, Tracy Letts, Anthony Ramos, Moses Ingram, Jonah Hauer-King, Greta Lee, and Jason Clarke. The plot follows the U.S. government navigating an official response to a single nuclear missile launched by an unidentified enemy. It's presented in a terrifyingly realistic manner that wants to encourage more thoughtful discussion surrounding nuclear weapons, but its three-act "Rashomon" inspired narrative structure and divisive ending have audiences perhaps thinking about other elements than what was intended since its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival. What did we think of it? Please tune in as we discuss the screenplay, direction, the performances from the ensemble, the ending, its score, awards season chances, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review.
