We're starting 2026 the Mostly Horror way!! Talking horror with friends and arguing about what scared us the most.For our first episode of the new year, we're joined once again by Mike Scollins, writer for Late Night with Seth Meyers and a longtime friend of the show.

There's no voting, no winners, and no attempt at consensus. It's just us looking back at the horror movies of 2025 and calling out what really stuck with us. The best deaths, the scariest moments, the most memorable monsters, standout international horror, and more. We don't always agree, and that's kind of the point.If you're catching up on what horror delivered in 2025, or you just want to hear three people who love the genre dig into what worked and what didn't, then this one's for you.So HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Make some of your resolutions to tell a friend about the show, watch more horror, and…COME HANG OUT!!!

Ever feel like your church calendar skips straight from Christmas cheer to Easter celebration—missing something crucial in between? You're not alone, and Lent might be the answer.Join Joshua Lewis and author Elyse Fitzpatrick to understand why Lent matters for every believer—not just the high church crowd. Elyse shares her transformative Ash Wednesday experience during the pandemic and why spending 40 days reflecting on Christ's suffering changed everything about her faith.This isn't about earning brownie points with God through religious rituals. It's about understanding that before glory comes suffering—and why Western Christianity desperately needs to recover this truth. Elyse unpacks how fasting reveals our weakness so we can rest in Christ's strength, and why biblical lament looks nothing like hopeless despair.This conversation challenges our therapeutic, comfort-obsessed culture. Discover why the church calendar isn't just liturgical tradition—it's discipleship that keeps Christ's life and work constantly before our eyes. Learn how to practice godly lament, embrace voluntary weakness, and find hope in the wilderness seasons of life.In This Episode:-Why low-church Christians should care about Lent and the church calendar-The difference between fasting for merit versus fasting for remembrance-How to practice biblical lament with resurrection hope-Why American Christianity avoids suffering and what we lose because of it-The hidden grief of Palm Sunday and burned palm branch symbolism-Balancing community service with personal solitude during Lent0:00 – Introduction3:07 – What is Lent and Why Does it Matter?8:54 – The Experience of Ash Wednesday15:12 – Jesus in the Wilderness and Voluntary Weakness27:13 – Why "Friend of Sinners"?34:42 – Understanding Healthy Christian Lament42:34 – Palm Sunday Triumph and Weeping51:03 – Closing ThoughtsABOUT THE GUEST:

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. At DMR Deweys Movie Reviews, these films didn't just entertain—they shaped the conversation about where cinema is headed next.Be sure to grab your 30 Day Free Audible Trial - Link in the showThank you for all the support this year!Support the showThe audio clips used in this podcast, including excerpts from movie/series/documentary trailers, are used under the principles of fair use and fair dealing for the purpose of criticism, commentary, and review.

Ben and Rob take stock of cinema with their best films of 2025 episode; a sprawling, argumentative and occasionally unhinged reflection on a year that refused to be tidy. From blockbuster expectations to quiet character pieces, franchise sequels to left field surprises, this episode circles titles like Weapons, Sinners, Sisu 2, Bugonia, Good Boy, A Real Pain and Superman, alongside many more films that shaped, disappointed or completely blindsided them over the last twelve months.Did all of these films make the list; did none of them; or did some sneak in while others were left in the cold? What even defines a great film year now; how much does context change taste; and why do certain movies linger while others evaporate instantly?

We've invented and entirely new religion and honor God with our lips but have put our own morality ahead of what Scriptures says. "The Lord says: “These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is based on merely human rules they have been taught.” Isaiah 29:13 NIV “‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.' Matthew 15:8-9 NIV These verses describe the evangelical church today. What are the human rules? Don't be racist. Don't be antisemitic. Jews are God's people. God forgives you. Tolerance, acceptance, and diversity. God's rules: Jews are the devil's children. (John 8:44) Honor your ancestors. (The Fifth Commandment) Let those who do not love Jesus Christ be accursed (1 Cor 16:22) Do not be yoked with unbelievers or sinner: (2 Cor 6:14-17) Sinners go to hell (Rev 21:8)

The Cinematography Podcast Episode 339: Autumn Durald Arkapaw, ASC Cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw, ASC was first introduced to director Ryan Coogler through fellow DPs Bradford Young and Rachel Morrison. After their successful collaboration on Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Coogler sent her the script for Sinners, a supernatural horror-action film. The film tells the story of twin brothers who return home in the 1930's to open a juke joint, only to encounter the ancient evil of the undead. Autumn's epic cinematic camerawork on Sinners integrates the vampire story with the spiritual power of Black American rhythm and blues music. Though Coogler initially envisioned shooting in 16mm, the team realized a larger format would better facilitate the complex "twinning" effects required for Michael B. Jordan's dual roles. After rigorous testing, they landed on a historic combination of 70mm and IMAX. “I think one thing with Ryan, when you're standing next to someone that's a brave filmmaker, you feel like you can do anything.” Autumn says. “He's open to anything. He's excited about doing things for the first time. He creates an environment where people have power and the collaboration is at the highest level.” The production was a logistical marathon. The massive IMAX cameras were frequently rigged to cranes or mounted on Steadicams, all while the crew battled the volatile Mississippi summer. Between the oppressive heat, sudden rain, and thick mud, the physical act of filming became an exercise in endurance. “We've seen those movies like Lawrence of Arabia, and everybody out there with big cameras trying to tell a story with scope,” notes Autumn. “You know, you're in the land. You then become a person that's a part of the structure of the land. And you have to be able to work in it, with the elements to get the most beautiful images. It's not easy.” Perhaps the film's greatest technical feat is the juke joint sequence set to the song “I Lied To You.” What appears as a seamless “oner” is actually several complex shots threaded together. The sequence required months of storyboarding, pre-visualization and camera rehearsals in the space to execute. By placing the heavy IMAX rig on a Steadicam, the team rehearsed every beat to ensure the emotional momentum remained unbroken as the camera moved from an interior stage setup to an exterior shot of a burning mill. The final roof collapse was a practical plate shot on the final day of principal photography, later enhanced by VFX. Seeing that scene still makes Autumn feel emotional. “I get very teary-eyed when I watch that because I'm proud of everybody, and you can really feel the music in the theater.” See Sinners in select theaters and streaming on HBO Max.

One of the most divisive horror films of 2025 is here — and it's doing something very different with the vampire genre.In this spoiler-lite review, Jim dives into Sinners, a stylish, ambitious period-piece horror film that audiences seem to either absolutely love… or completely reject. Set during the Prohibition era in the Deep South, Sinners blends historical drama, social commentary, and supernatural horror into a bold, uncompromising experience.We'll cover:• What makes Sinners such a unique take on vampire mythology• The stunning period setting and cinematography• Michael B. Jordan's impressive dual performance as twin brothers• How music and atmosphere are woven into the supernatural elements• Why this film has struck such a strong — and polarized — chord with viewersThis is high-brow horror done with intention, depth, and gravitas. There are no cheap scares here — just thoughtful storytelling, powerful themes, and moments of full-throttle horror when the switch finally flips.Whether you're a vampire movie fan, a lover of period pieces, or just curious about one of the most talked-about genre films of the year, this review will help you decide if Sinners is worth your time.
2025 won't be remembered as the year for love, peace and harmony. War and military attacks were happening everywhere - from the Ukraine to the Middle East to Venezuela to Nigeria. Natural disasters like wildfires and floods swept the U.S. And not only did we lose beloved celebrities like Diane Keaton, Robert Redford and Ozzy Osbourne, other popular figures - from Rob and Michele Reiner to Charlie Kirk to Melissa and Mark Hortman - died in devastating ways that shocked the world. Political differences polarized Americans with increasing intensity, AI made us increasingly unsure what was even real, social media became a toxic wasteland, and millions were facing the loss of health insurance at year's end as a result of the expiration of ACA subsidies. We could go on and on, but we know you lived through it, too. So this week your hosts of "How We Heard It" decided to highlight some positive things about 2025 with lists of the year's best songs and albums and movies and TV shows. They were riveted by movies like "One Battle After Another," "Sinners" and "Weapons" and intrigued by films like "Nuremburg," "Companion" and "Good Boy." On the small screen, your hosts were thrilled by "IT: Welcome to Derry" and "Alien: Earth," challenged by "The Bear" and "White Lotus" and tickled by "The English Teacher" and a revived "South Park." Musically, Kendrick Lamar and SZA teamed up on a sizzling tribute to Luther Vandross, the U.K.'s Wet Leg brought back rowdy alt-rock excitement, and Taylor Swift may have saved us from the fate of Ophelia. It was almost enough to inspire them to do that little Swiftie dance. If they could dance.

Today, Paul M. Neuberger comes for the version of Christianity that's all talk, no walk. The facade. The pose. The outward show with a hollow soul.It's time to face the cost: living for the world's approval or Christ's command.We dive deep into the uncomfortable gap between Sunday worship and Monday obedience—where image outpaces integrity and where cheap grace tries to replace costly discipleship.The world may settle for branding; we answer to a higher calling.Jesus didn't die for religious actors—He died to make us new. The challenge? Will you repent, realign, and let your faith get rugged, real, and relentless?Buckle up. This one's raw, real, and rooted in truth.“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. 28 In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness." –Matthew 23:27-28Episode Highlights:09:33 – Over time, the church can unintentionally become a safe place to hide instead of a holy place to be healed. One of the primary engines of hypocrisy is cheap grace, the idea that forgiveness cancels the call to transformation. Grace becomes a spiritual anesthetic instead of a surgical tool. We numb conviction instead of letting it cut. But Scripture is clear. Grace saves us and grace trains us... If grace never teaches you to say no, it's not biblical grace. It's self-deception wearing religious language.36:14 – The antidote to hypocrisy is not louder words or stronger branding. It's costly obedience. Real Christianity has always been less about what we say and more about how we live. When no one's watching, walking the walk means choosing obedience even when it hurts, costs, or isolates. It means aligning behavior with belief, not just on Sunday, but in the hidden places where integrity is formed. Jesus never invited people to admire him from a distance; he invited them to follow.41:42 — Hypocrisy drains spiritual authority. When the church mirrors the world in greed, sexual immorality, pride and division, it has nothing prophetic to say. Jesus called his followers the light of the world and the salt of the earth.

Recording the day after Christmas, the trio give a short version of their holiday experience (wine, so much wine) and then jump right into predicting who they think will be the winners of the 31st Critics Choice Association Awards, as well as reveal what some of our own votes were, including some races that feel very close. With Critics Choice happening a full week before the Golden Globes, will the group rely on being Oscar predictors or tastemakers as the first televised org of the season? While it feels like it's a head to head fight between One Battle After Another and Sinners in many categories--all of which is great for Warner Bros--some categories could be the beginning of a season-long coronation, like Amy Madigan vs Teyana Taylor in Best Supporting Actress and Jessie Buckley vs Rose Byrne in Best Actress. Best Actor could be a threeway race between Timothée Chalamet, Leonardo DiCaprio and Michael B. Jordan, although we're seeing Chalamet triumph here. This podcast runs 1h26m. We'll be back soon with a Best of 2025 wrap-up. Till then, let's get into it. You can listen to The AwardsWatch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music, YouTube and more.

The Christmas Season is twelve days long (the "12 days of Christmas), going from December 25th to January 6th which is Epiphany. The hymn that we are studying today bridges both of those Christian festivals nicely. In the famous hymn by James Montgomery, "Angels from the Realms of Glory" we review the Christmas account of the angels and shepherds from Luke 2, as well are the Epiphany account of the wise men from Matthew chapter 2. This hymn even brings in the account of Jesus' presentation in the temple 40 days after His birth, and the joyful response of the faithful believers Simeon and Anna (the Presentation of Jesus is celebrated on February 5th). This hymn successively incorporates all creatures – the angels (verse 1), the shepherds (verse 2), the wise men (verse 3), believers (verse 4), and all people (verse 5 - not in our hymnal) – in the call to “come and worship, worship Christ, the newborn King!” The text was originally in five stanzas, although many hymnals now delete the fifth stanza which is a wonderful review of why Christmas was so important. The missing fifth stanza is: Sinners, wrung with true repentance, Doomed for guilt to endless pains, Justice now revokes the sentence; Mercy calls you, break your chains; Come and worship, Come and worship; Worship Christ, the new-born King. Come and Worship! Worship the one who has come for you, to fulfill divine justice through His life and death and brought you salvation! Join the angels, the shepherds, the wise men, and the saints of the past and the saints who are your fellow believers, in worshipping Him! Worship Christ, the New-born King!
It was a great year for Warner Bros. Discovery: Two of its movies (One Battle After Another and Sinners) are front-runners for the Academy Award for Best Picture, and it had a string of critical hits and box-office successes with Superman, Weapons, and A Minecraft Movie. But despite those wins, the media conglomerate—which also owns HBO and CNN—found itself up for auction with two aggressive bidders: Paramount and Netflix. The Atlantic movie critic David Sims explains why this deal could be bad for the movies. And our staff writer Frank Foer lays out why this deal could be bad for democracy—especially if President Donald Trump gets involved. --- Get more from your favorite Atlantic voices when you subscribe.

It's the end of the year, and Andrew and Stephen are joined by Katie McGrath once again to talk about the year in movies and the career of Irish character actor David Wilmot. The gang chat about such 2025 hits as 28 Years Later, F1, Sinners and the just-released Avatar: Fire and Ash. There are also some sneak previews of 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, Marty Supreme, as well as a French film called Flush, where a man gets his head stuck in the toilet. After each picking our top five movies of the year, we turn to David Wilmot and his work in Irish films that defined the 21st Century, such as Intermission, Calvary, The Guard, Lies We Tell and Shadow Dancer.

How Can Sinners Be Made Righteous? (Matthew 1:21)
For our final bookpisode of the year, we enter Hobby Lobby Hell to read Crafting for Sinners, the latest from Jenny Kiefer. We discuss the sordid history of Hobby Lobby's crimes, debate whether an entire town can be homophobic, and try to understand blood sugar. Plus, Emily regales us with a chilling anecdote about knitting. Have feedback? Email us at thesquad@booksquadgoals.com. Stay tuned for our next othersode — our beloved annual Faves of the Year — and then our next bookpisode on How to Sleep At Night by Elizabeth Harris, both of which will feature the triumphant return of the one and only Susan!
