This week, Matt and Bob are joined by returning guest Spenser Davis to break down Zach Cregger's Weapons—one of the year's most talked-about horror releases. The trio dig into: How Weapons blends horror, comedy, and social commentary. The Magnolia-style chapter structure—and whether it works or stalls. Memorable moments: from hot dog trays to the film's most brutal death. The allegories beneath the scares—addiction, failed institutions, and the American suburban nightmare. Aunt Gladys as one of horror's most unsettling new villains. Along the way, they compare Weapons to Barbarian, debate the value of metaphors and Easter eggs, and even wander into Resident Evil and Oscar predictions. It's a deep dive into why Cregger has cemented himself as one of the most exciting genre voices working today.
From writer/director Zach Cregger comes WEAPONS, an ensemble horror mystery thriller about a classroom of kids that disappear and the impact rippling through the community. It's very entertaining and genre-bending, prioritizing its dread and scares and as much as its humor and laughs. How does this stick up to 'Barbarian,' Cregger's previous movie? How much thematic depth does it offer? Is it one of the best movies of the year? Listen to find out!GUEST: Brett Nemeroff

What podcast has not put out an episode on 'Weapons' yet? A Year In Horror, that's who. Now, to be different, I thought that considering the film has been out for 10 days now we could go over some of the think pieces put about about the film and take a look at some of the stats. Also, it would probably not be best to listen to this episode unless you have seen 'Weapons'. This episode is raw with no edits and is just a few hours old.

We present our review of Weapons (2025)!Weapons is a 2025 American mystery horror film written, co-composed, co-produced and directed by Zach Cregger. The film stars Josh Brolin, Julia Garner, Alden Ehrenreich, Austin Abrams, Cary Christopher, Benedict Wong and Amy Madigan. Its plot follows the seemingly inexplicable case of seventeen children from the same classroom who mysteriously run away on the same night at the same time, having been apparently abducted by an unseen force.Weapons was released in the United States by Warner Bros. Pictures on August 8, 2025. The film received critical acclaim and has grossed $101 million worldwide.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59
Mike and Angel are joined by guest host Raymond for a jam-packed episode of scares, shocks, and sci-fi. Mike kicks things off with his first impressions of the FX series Alien: Earth, Noah Hawley's tense new chapter in the Alien saga. Then Angel and Raymond weigh in on Together, the twisted horror-thriller starring Dave Franco and Alison Brie as a couple whose love turns disturbingly literal. Finally, the gang—plus “producer Rich”—dives into a deep discussion of Weapons, Zach Cregger's mystery-horror about seventeen missing children, a desperate town, and the terrifying truths that surface when answers run out.
SPOILER ALERT!!! AS WITH ALL SPECIAL EDITIONS WE HAVE A LOT TO SAY AND SAY IT ALLHorror movies have ramped up their marketing efforts in recent years. Weapons is the latest example. The movie created a website, released two hour security cam footage, along with traditional tactics like an awesome poster and excellent trailer. The end result? It exceeded box office expectations.Where does Zach Cregger stand among current horror directors? There is a very strong argument that he is the best at mixing horror and humor. And this includes the Winters and Osgood Perkins. Along with being satisfying, the ending of Weapons is one of the funniest of the year.The major twist comes well before the final moments. How much people enjoy the twist will also determine how much they like the film. More so than any other movie in recent memory. It will be the point of return for everyone who watches it. For some, Weapons will not be able to do any wrong; for others it will be a complete turnoff.Non-linear storytelling is very tricky to pull off. Not only can it disorient the audience, but it can open things up to plot holes. We talk about one possible issue with Weapons and another nitpick. We also debate how effectively Weapons told its story.Whatever a person's final opinion on Weapons, there is no denying the amazing performances. There has been a shift the past few years, but horror tends to get ignored around awards season. It may not end up getting nominated for anything, but it would be surprising if some names from Cregger's release are not thrown around. One character will definitely be an inspiration for Halloween.What does the success of another original movie IP mean for horror movies in the future? Obviously, franchises and Stephen King adaptations are not going to end; they are the lifeblood of the genre. But will studios be willing to take more risks on new properties?

This episode we delve into why horror is so popular and comedy films are not. It has to do with what's happening in our country. Horror films get really good when society is filled with dread and fear. Also, why did all the podcaster bros decide to not be funny and push authoritarian propaganda? Blame it all on ‘woke' seems to be the new strategy.

On episode 302 of the AwardsWatch podcast, Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson is joined by Executive Editor Ryan McQuade and Associate Editor Sophia Ciminello as we look at the state of the Oscar race post-TIFF and NYFF lineup announcements and ahead of the Venice and Telluride film festivals. In our conversation, which begins looking at how a film's surplus of festival appearances can help or hurt its chances and, on the other side, how a minimal footprint can be a hindrance or a benefit, especially for voters who feel they can discover a film rather than be told what to vote for. We turn our eyes to two specific categories on this episode: Best Casting and Best Supporting Actress. With the new Casting category making its Oscar debut this season, we wanted to look at not just the types of films we expect to see - like Sinners, Jay Kelly, Sentimental Value, Wicked: For Good and more - but also why, and how much the branch might raise up titans in their industry who will be earning the highest accolade for the first time. Our focus then moves to Best Supporting Actress as the fervor over Amy Madigan's performance as Aunt Gladys in Zach Cregger's horror hit Weapons this last weekend has people pounding the alarm to take her seriously as a potential nominee. We look at the reality of it happening in a race full of potential contenders. You can listen to The AwardsWatch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music, YouTube and more. This podcast runs 47m.

On this week's very special bonus episode of The New Flesh, writer/director Zach Cregger returns to the show the Monday morning after his movie WEAPONS opened huge, solidifying a New Flesh tradition that started with BARBARIAN. SPOILERS AHEAD! We get into what the movie means to him, and if it matters that others are taking it in a different way, how to craft a perfect jump scare, and he once and for all refutes the idea that it's about school shootings. He also does an impromptu pitch for a TEXAS CHAINSAW reboot, and tells us of the day he met Josh Brolin and almost blew it. Lots of details! I hope you enjoy it!

The Bob Odenkirk-led Nobody 2 will release next week and is expected to open to a modest $10 million domestically.Ryan Reynolds posted an image of the Avengers logo with a red anarchy symbol spray painted over it to his Instagram this morning, which fans are taking as a tease that he will appear in next year's Avengers: Doomsday. The rumors are that the next list of cast members in the film is also “ridiculously long” so it seems like Reynolds is getting the jump on the announcement.Peacock released our first extended look at The Paper, a new mockumentary series spun off from The Office, and made by Greg Daniels and Michael Koman.
