People We Meet on Vacation (2026) 75% EDIT “If you put this on, on a weekend afternoon, you will be fine. It is pleasant to watch. But the things that made the book special, I think, are almost impossible to preserve in a two-hour movie.” – Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) Jan 12, 2026 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% EDIT “[Timothée Chalamet] is mesmerizing to watch in this, which is an accomplishment because I'm not sure I care that much about this story. ” – Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) Dec 30, 2025 Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% EDIT “[The film has] an incredibly rich and satisfying story, just full of kindness and compassion for the characters, and not for nothing, the very rare, really good American mainstream movie about faith, which you just don't find that many of.” – Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) Dec 15, 2025 Full Review Jay Kelly (2025) 75% EDIT “We've seen Adam Sandler be a really good actor. But I think this is maybe my favorite dramatic performance of his in the sense that it is so vulnerable. ” – Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) Dec 15, 2025 Full Review Zootopia 2 (2025) 91% EDIT “Although I appreciated where I think it's coming from on some of these issues... I did appreciate this movie mostly as fun and as visually witty, which is one of the things that I really miss in a lot of animation now.” – Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) Dec 15, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% EDIT “That scene between Elphaba and Glinda at the end of this film is worth the whole thing.” – Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) Dec 4, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (2025) 62% EDIT “As an action movie that hits the gas, gets the running man running, and doesn't let up, it works quite well, and it's a lot of fun. But some of King's sharper-elbowed commentary... is blunted a bit.” – NPR Nov 18, 2025 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% EDIT “As much as I appreciate it thematically, I think what really blew me away about it is that this is a really, really beautiful movie, even though it's a very gruesome movie, in many respects.” – Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) Nov 10, 2025 Full Review Blue Moon (2025) 90% EDIT “The way that this movie just hinges on the creative, like, what happens when a creative partnership is dead, and just that alone,...it makes this such a great execution of the, quote unquote, "biopic genre.".” – Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) Nov 4, 2025 Full Review Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) 61% EDIT “This Jeremy Allen White performance is extraordinary. And I think he's riveting, which is one of the reasons why I was never bored in this film. ” – Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) Nov 4, 2025 Full Review HIM (2025) 30% EDIT “You see a lot of scenes that are kind of interesting scenes, but do they cohere into a movie? I don't think so. ” – Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) Sep 24, 2025 Full Review The Thursday Murder Club (2025) 77% EDIT “I appreciate seeing a community like this represented…This is all atmosphere and feel and in that way I enjoyed it a lot.” – Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) Sep 4, 2025 Full Review The Roses (2025) 64% EDIT “This just ended up being like one million other things that I have seen about middle-aged couples trying to overcome the boring middle part of their marriage.” – Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) Sep 4, 2025 Full Review Highest 2 Lowest (2025) 83% EDIT “...[Spike Lee] draws from such an incredibly wide catalog of influences and references. It's always just fun to watch that happen. ” – Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) Aug 19, 2025 Full Review Bring It On (2000) 65% EDIT “...both the very beginning and the very end [of the film] really effectively build this kind of really funny, silly mood that I did very much enjoy revisiting...[The film] is just of its time.” – Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) Aug 15, 2025 Full Review Weapons (2025) 93% EDIT “It is sort of viscerally and upsetting movie, but I found it to be one that earns that feeling, especially because I think the performances are so good.” – Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) Aug 12, 2025 Full Review Together (2025) 89% EDIT “ It does have jump scares. It does have some really scary stuff in it and some gross stuff in it. I recommend just bring a baseball cap, and you can kind of pull it down low. And then you can kind of see the bottom of the screen.” – Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) Aug 12, 2025 Full Review My Mom Jayne (2025) 100% EDIT “The fact that there is sympathy for (and in some cases accountability for) many different parties is what makes My Mom Jayne effective. ” – NPR Jul 10, 2025 Full Review Mountainhead (2025) 74% EDIT “While the four men at Mountainhead are targets of Armstrong's withering stink-eye for their amoral, antisocial approaches to the world, the stake he drives through their hearts is how unremarkable they are in every way except that they are rich.” – NPR Jun 2, 2025 Full Review Final Destination Bloodlines (2025) 92% EDIT “Maybe the best explanation I can offer for the success of Final Destination is this: It's funny 'cause it's true. When you die, you probably won't go squish, but you'll go, and so will everybody else. ” – NPR Jun 2, 2025 Full Review Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story (2024) EDIT “Goofy? Sure. Genuine? You bet.” – NPR Dec 3, 2024 Full Review A Family Affair (2024) 36% EDIT “There's some star power here, and some budget, and some writing and directing, that suggests interest in the [romcom] genre is picking up steam and getting good results.” – NPR Jul 5, 2024 Full Review Under Paris (2024) 64% EDIT “It unfolds like a fairly classy suspense film about a rarely seen threat. It does not look cheap in the way Sharknado did, for instance. It’s quite competently shot and edited, it’s tense, and it’s frightening. In other words, it gets the job done.” – NPR Jun 27, 2024 Full Review Upgraded (2024) 76% EDIT “I think they set it in this very specific world of art, which, even if it's not entirely accurate, it's specific. So within its own world, it feels developed.” – NPR May 10, 2024 Full Review Anyone But You (2023) 53% EDIT “I'm pretty vibes-based, and I think the vibes in this movie are just super unpleasant and sour. I never liked either of these people.” – NPR May 10, 2024 Full Review
