Awards season chaos is here. Mike and Taylor break down the Golden Globe winners, who earned it, who didn’t, and which wins actually matter going forward. Then it’s a full mailbag episode, tackling listener questions, hot takes, and the topics you’ve been itching for us to dig into. Loose structure, sharp opinions, and zero filler.

This week, Mike revisits the jungle with the Anaconda (2025) remake to see if nostalgia or modern excess wins out, while Taylor digs into Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery to judge whether Benoit Blanc still has gas in the tank. Two movies, two very different outcomes, and honest takes on what’s worth your time.

Taylor and Mike break the spoiler seal and go all in on Stranger Things Season 5. They unpack how the final season sticks (or stumbles), what actually lands emotionally, and whether the series earns its ending after nearly a decade of hype, monsters, and synths. Full spoilers, zero mercy.

Mike and Taylor tackle their 2025 movie scorecard, sorting every title into their sacred categories: See It, Stream It, Airplane It, or Skip It. It’s a rapid-fire rundown of the best, the worst, and the films they forgot they even watched. Expect chaos, closure, and at least one existential crisis about how many hours of cinema they sacrificed this year.

Mike dives headfirst into Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, questioning how many times one man can sprint before physically evaporating. Taylor unpacks K-Pop Demon Hunters on Netflix, a movie that somehow juggles choreography, friendship, and exorcism with unhinged confidence. Together, they tear through this year’s Golden Globe nominations, calling out the shocks, the snubs, and the “why is this even here?” picks.

Mike wades into the emotional baggage of Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale. Taylor takes on Playdate, a film that turns a casual hangout into a full-blown nightmare.

This week Mike reviews Wicked: For Good and rants for a while about movies, musicals, movie musicals, stage musicals and the mess that was Wicked: For Good. Taylor reviews Frankenstein, the latest film from Guillermo del Toro, and she compares it to other Frankenstein films.
