It Was Just an Accident (2025) 97% EDIT “This film does a good old-fashioned favor to cinema, a huge service to cinema. Because it digs into something that's been treated so glibly by filmmakers forever, which is the question of vengeance.” – Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) Jan 27, 2026 Full Review No Other Choice (2025) 97% EDIT “It's a wonderfully nasty piece of work.” – Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) Jan 8, 2026 Full Review Predator: Badlands (2025) 86% EDIT “You're going to have a good time. Action set pieces, on point, humor that is based in behavior and attitude, not quips, not pop culture references.” – Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) Nov 10, 2025 Full Review Blue Moon (2025) 90% EDIT “This movie got me on the Ethan Hawke's character's side from the jump because every bit of shade he throws toward Oklahoma! is absolutely right.” – Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) Nov 4, 2025 Full Review Bugonia (2025) 88% EDIT “As enjoyable as I found the film, it only manages to qualify as mid-tier Lanthimos, chiefly because it doesn't register as a pure expression of his cinematic sensibility.” – NPR Oct 31, 2025 Full Review Black Phone 2 (2025) 72% EDIT “This is otherwise a often quite gory horror film that, in those moments, gets kind of kicked for me into Goosebumps, Are You Afraid of the Dark territory.” – Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) Oct 28, 2025 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% EDIT “While [the film] captures the tone and spirit of the original novel in all its breathless zeal and hie-me-to-yon-fainting-couch deliriousness, the many narrative tweaks del Toro has made ensure that you'd never mistake his Frankenstein for anyone else's.” – NPR Oct 18, 2025 Full Review Kiss of the Spider Woman (2025) 77% EDIT “All the stuff it's supposed to evoke, these old Hollywood musicals, they're firmly in place. ” – Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) Oct 14, 2025 Full Review TRON: Ares (2025) 53% EDIT “[Jared Leto’s] character starts the film giving big dirtbag energy. He ends the film giving big dirtbag energy. He is a heatsink of charisma. He gives nothing. He takes a lot. ” – Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) Oct 14, 2025 Full Review One Battle After Another (2025) 94% EDIT “Given the subject matter, this should really come off as kind of strident and polemical, but it really doesn't. It's fun in every way that Eddington isn't.” – Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) Sep 30, 2025 Full Review The Long Walk (2025) 88% EDIT “I thought this was a howlingly failed attempt at emotional manipulation that feels like it was written by a teenager, that feels like it is juvenilia.” – Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) Sep 15, 2025 Full Review Twinless (2025) 97% EDIT “The movie's got a wry sensibility, great chemistry, and it dares to take some dark turns you probably won't see coming. ” – Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) Sep 10, 2025 Full Review The Thursday Murder Club (2025) 77% EDIT “This movie so much wants me to find these characters plucky and adorable and full of gumption and that kind of came off as a little condescending to me.” – Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) Sep 4, 2025 Full Review Caught Stealing (2025) 85% EDIT “I would never call this film stylish or innovative in any way, but it is what those screenwriting cliches exist for it to be, which is effective.” – Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) Sep 4, 2025 Full Review The Roses (2025) 64% EDIT “It's a throwback film, the kind they don't make anymore -- and given the sheer amount of Screenwriting 101 cliches that pile up -- you can't help thinking that might be a good thing.” – NPR Sep 4, 2025 Full Review Jaws (1975) 97% EDIT “This film changed the culture. It changed movies. It also changed individual people's lives.” – Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) Sep 4, 2025 Full Review Weapons (2025) 93% EDIT “...[Larkin Seiple makes the film look] beautiful, mysterious, but also ugly and depressing, all at once, all at the same time.” – Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) Aug 12, 2025 Full Review The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) 86% EDIT “Decades from now, it will still invite us to escape into it, to delight in its larger-than-life characters, its intergalactic battles and its heart-stirring moments of heroism -- and, yes, in its benign, winning, blessed goofiness.” – NPR Jul 25, 2025 Full Review Superman (2025) 83% EDIT “It makes you want to cheer. That's it, that's the secret ingredient that's been missing from so many superhero stories for so long.” – NPR Jul 11, 2025 Full Review M3GAN 2.0 (2025) 57% EDIT “Eventually, though, the sequel delivers on the promise -- and the premise -- of the original, and retains the original's pleasantly schlocky, B-movie vibe.” – NPR Jun 26, 2025 Full Review Dune: Part Two (2024) 92% EDIT “The first film tackled the hard work of arranging the game pieces on the board, so Part Two swiftly sets about bashing them into one another. All those factional conflicts roiling away throughout the first film finally get to boil over at last.” – NPR Feb 21, 2024 Full Review Dicks: The Musical (2023) 68% EDIT “While Dicks: The Musical is a lot of dumb fun and the songs mostly work, the film is locked in a struggle with itself that's the inevitable result of its origins as a theatrical revue.” – NPR Oct 13, 2023 Full Review The Flash (2023) 63% EDIT “Like its main hero, The Flash doesn't hide how hungry it is to be seen as worthy, even though it spends much of its time running on empty.” – NPR Jun 15, 2023 Full Review Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023) 82% EDIT “To watch Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is to watch a filmmaker under the wildly mistaken belief that the best way to get you to absorb what he's saying is by screaming it directly into your ear.” – NPR May 3, 2023 Full Review Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023) 91% EDIT “Given how gleefully Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves embraces and exults in its genre elements, it's interesting to note that it's all the stuff geared to making the film accessible to the mainstream that is the most dully generic thing about it.” – NPR Mar 31, 2023 Full Review
