January 27, 2026 Episode #179: The Cuppies 2025
Joe, James and Rhys return for our annual look back over everything we covered (and watched more broadly) in 2025. Which of us somehow chose three horror movies as their top three of the year despite not being a horror fan? Will William Shakespeare make it into the Hall of Fame? And is anything this year actually enjoyably bad enough to award this year's Howard T. Duck? All that and more, plus (at the very end) our pick for next month's episode. See if you can guess what it's going to be!

NOTE: We recorded this before the shocking death of Rob Reiner. Suffice to say we're all horrified, and expect to talk about his work and our collective love of it on a future episode.

November 15, 2025 Episode #177: Near Dark (1987)
Rhys, James and Joe return to look at the latest movie news and catch up with Kathryn Bigelow's vampire western, Near Dark - is it the best vampire movie from 1987?
We'll be back in a couple of weeks with our next movie (revealed in this episode, and let me tell you: it is an ODD shout even by Joe's standards) before we're back for our regular roundup of the year!

July 13, 2025 Episode #175: Night of the Living Dead (1968) & 28 Years Later (2025)
Joe, James & Rhys take a deep(ish) dive on both extreme ends of the zombie franchise - George A Romero's originator of the genre, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, and Danny Boyle's post-Brexit zombie sequel, 28 YEARS LATER. All this, plus: Ironheart, The Phoenician Scheme, The Rehearsal, and more!

Our next movie on the Patreon ( http://patreon.com/cinematicuniverse ) will be - of course - James Gunn's SUPERMAN, which we are expecting to record tomorrow, so you should hear it in just a few days. We'll also be doing FANTASTIC FOUR after that, and our next main episode is going to be BATTLE ROYALE. So plenty to look forward to!

If you've seen Night of the Living Dead or 28 Years Later, let us know what you thought in the comments!

May 22, 2025 Episode #174: Sinners (2025)
Rhys, James and Joe take a look at Ryan Coogler's 2025 movie, SINNERS. As soon as we can agree who's hosing the episode. This is an all-Sinners episode because it was recorded soon after our Ghost Dog chat AND there's a lot in this movie to think about. That said, to be completely honest if you don't like talk about spitting I would probably skip this one.

You can hear this and many other episodes ad-free on our Patreon!
