  • The Mastermind (2025): “Maintenance Men, Jazz Vibes, and the Heist That Forgot to Be a Heist”

    The Mastermind (2025): “Maintenance Men, Jazz Vibes, and the Heist That Forgot to Be a Heist”
    Jan 31 2026
    In this episode of Can I Change My Score?, Sophie and Matt wade through Kelly Reichardt’s The Mastermind, a slow-burn, 1970s-set anti-heist movie that looks gorgeous, sounds incredible, and steadfastly refuses to make its audience feel anything. What starts with lush autumnal colours, jazzy needle-drops, and the promise of a clever art theft quickly drifts into an extended study of a man gently… existing. Sophie struggles to locate any actual unraveling, Matt questions the film’s commitment to its own premise, and both hosts wonder why a movie about failure is so allergic to tension, desperation, or emotional consequence. Along the way, they unpack the misused potential of Alana Haim, the mystery of Josh O’Connor’s performance, the difference between slow cinema and stalled cinema, and why watching cars drive around is not a substitute for character development. Stylish, inert, and oddly beig; this is one mastermind that never quite earns the title.

  • Can I Change My Score? Christmas Special: Good Movies, Missed Gems, and Brad Pitt's torso

    Can I Change My Score? Christmas Special: Good Movies, Missed Gems, and Brad Pitt's torso
    Dec 23 2025
    In this Christmas episode of Can I Change My Score?, Sophie and Matt abandon the usual rules and take stock of a year spent in dark cinemas and on slightly uncomfortable sofas. There are films they definitely meant to watch, films they loved more than expected, and films that left them wondering how two hours could feel so long. Sophie defends a few unpopular choices, Matt draws some very firm lines about what should and shouldn’t exist, and both agree that going to the cinema is still the best part — even when the movie isn’t. It’s festive reflection, gentle arguing, and end-of-year honesty, with absolutely no scores changed.

  • Wake Up Dead Men (2025): “Churches, Convolutions, and a Mystery That Won’t Sit Still”

    Wake Up Dead Men (2025): “Churches, Convolutions, and a Mystery That Won’t Sit Still”
    Dec 15 2025
    In this episode of Can I Change My Score?, Sophie and Matt return to the Knives Out universe for Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, a murder mystery that arrives armed with religious symbolism, familiar accents, and a runtime that refuses to take the hint. Benoit Blanc is back, sounding more confident than ever, but the case itself sprawls across churches, bars, books-about-books, and a reveal that takes its sweet time getting to the point. The pair unpack why the film feels oddly small despite its ambition, how an all‑star cast ends up sidelined by exposition, and why subverting the murder‑mystery genre for the third time starts to feel like homework. Along the way, they praise a few striking visual moments, question the geography, and wonder when exactly the emotional investment was meant to kick in. Two and a half hours later, the mystery is solved — but the sense of satisfaction never quite arrives.
