The studio is a little less organized and a lot more chaotic tonight! With Intern Manager/Managing Intern Amy taking a well-deserved night off, the Dastardly Dudes—Hosts Eddie and Spencer—are rolling solo. This week, the boys are venturing into the Blumhouse vaults to tackle a horror flick that has left them scratching their heads in the best, and most confusing, way possible: Lee Cronin's The Mummy.

Before the guys start deciphering hieroglyphics, they sift through the glorious, trailer-filled aftermath of last week's CinemaCon. With the floodgates officially open, Eddie and Spencer break down the newly dropped footage that has them the most hyped. They prepare for midnight margaritas with the reveal of Practical Magic 2 and celebrate the absolute cinematic justice of finally seeing footage for the infamous, long-vaulted Coyote vs. Acme.

Once the trailer hype settles, the dudes descend into the tomb to review The Mummy. But there is one massive, glaring problem: is this actually a mummy movie? Eddie and Spencer unpack the bizarre identity crisis of a film that boasts a rock-solid narrative, genuinely fantastic practical effects, and incredibly strong performances from its child actors, yet feels entirely disconnected from its own name. The crew postulates how a movie can be this good, yet have its title hang around its neck like a giant, cursed albatross, skewing all expectations.

Is it a hidden horror gem, or just a victim of terrible branding? Grab your flashlights and leave your Book of the Dead at home—it's time to get confused!

Check your email attachments and grab a towel, because things are getting wildly uncomfortable in the studio! The Filmlosophers are back, and the mics are officially under the romantic—and ruthless—control of Intern Manager/Managing Intern Amy. The time has finally come for Hosts Eddie and Spencer to buckle down, face the music, and review the agonizing fallout from Amy's infamous Streaming is For Lovers pitches.

Before the boys are subjected to the trials of modern streaming romance, the crew tackles a wildly chaotic week in the movie news cycle. The team dives deep into the madness of CinemaCon 2026, unpacking the massive, mind-boggling slate of announcements coming out of Paramount Pictures. From their sudden theatrical commitments to the bombshell reveal of Top Gun 3, there is plenty to discuss. But the biggest headline of the week is the unprecedented, catastrophic leak of the highly anticipated animated epic, Avatar: Aang, The Last Airbender. Was it a sophisticated studio hack, or did someone actually just accidentally email the entire movie to a random person? The crew breaks down the internal drama, the furious fan reactions, and what this disaster means for the future of the franchise.

Once the news desk is cleared, it's time to walk into the rom-com hellfire. Out of all the swoon-worthy options Amy delivered, the team agreed to review the one film that seemed somewhat palatable: the 2017 Netflix time-loop comedy, Naked. Eddie and Spencer quickly realize they were woefully unprepared. The trio grits their teeth as they unpack the sheer absurdity of Marlon Wayans repeatedly waking up in an elevator in his birthday suit, debate the lazy mechanics of the movie's Groundhog Day-style wedding timeline, and question how a film with such a wild premise can make them lose their minds in all the wrong ways.

It's an episode full of CinemaCon surprises, Airbender anxiety, and time-looping torture!

Buckle up and check your ammo, because the blood is about to hit the fan! This week on The Filmlosophers, Hosts Eddie and Spencer are joined by the ever-glorious Intern Manager/Managing Intern Amy for a high-speed, high-octane ride through one of the year's most relentless cinematic thrill rides.

But before the crew gets covered in the red stuff, Host Eddie steps up to the whiteboard to completely shatter everyone's childhoods with a brand-new installment of "Conspiracy Theory." This week, Eddie connects the dots between Ghostbusters, Die Hard, and Family Matters to pitch the incredibly dark and deeply psychological "Carl Winslow Theory." He takes the studio on a twisted journey, breaking down the mind-bending hypothesis of how Sgt. Al Powell's cinematic traumas caused a complete mental break, trapping him in a sitcom fantasy world haunted by a guilt-fueled poltergeist named Steve Urkel.

Once the crew recovers from that massive television revelation, they turn their sights to the fast-paced, visceral madness of Kirill Sokolov's They Will Kill You. The team gushes (no pun intended) over how the director has crafted an absolute love letter to classic, kinetic cinema. They praise the film as the ultimate vehicle to showcase the sheer, unbridled talent of lead actress Zazie Beetz, who delivers an absolute powerhouse performance. Along the way, the trio breaks down Sokolov's brilliant, blood-soaked homages to the legendary styles of iconic filmmakers like Quentin Tarantino, Park Chan-wook, and Sam Raimi.

It's an episode full of mind-bending theories, undeniable star power, and cinematic bloodshed!

Before we launch into orbit, Intern Manager/Managing Intern Amy warms up the studio and brings all the feels with a brand-new installment of her beloved segment, Streaming is For Lovers! Amy pitches her latest cinematic crushes and swoon-worthy recommendations, proving once again that true love is just a subscription fee away and setting the perfect mood for the episode.

Once the tears (from laughter) are dried, Hosts Eddie and Spencer join Amy to blast off into Illumination and Nintendo's highly anticipated sequel, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. As longtime lovers of the animated film medium and the sprawling 40-plus-year legacy of the Nintendo franchise, the crew brings both their deep fanboy nostalgia and their sharp Filmlosophers critique to the table. They discuss the sequel's undeniable charm, dazzling cosmic visuals, and fun returning cast, but also dive deep into why this follow-up to the 2023 smash hit feels just a little bit lacking in its gravitational pull. Did Illumination play it too safe among the stars, or is it still a galaxy worth exploring?

It's an episode full of streaming swoons, platforming critiques, and Luma-sized hot takes!

Grab your space suits and your talking show cats, because we are going on a multi-genre ride! This week on The Filmlosophers, Hosts Eddie and Spencer are joined by the ever-glorious Intern Manager/Managing Intern Amy for an episode that spans from deadly underground labyrinths to the deepest reaches of outer space.

Before the crew can achieve escape velocity, they have to survive the apocalypse. The studio gets delightfully derailed right out of the gate as the team geeks out over their latest collective obsession: the literary juggernaut that is Dungeon Crawler Carl. They discuss the explosive, LitRPG madness of the series, the sheer brilliance of Princess Donut, and why this incredibly chaotic franchise is rightfully taking over the world.

Once they finally clear the dungeon, it's time to save Earth. The trio sets their sights on the charming, science-heavy film adaptation of Andy Weir's celebrated novel, Project Hail Mary. The Space Crawlers bring their keen eye for the finer details, breaking down the biggest and most surprising differences between Weir's beloved book and the big-screen translation. The crew also debates the film's handling of the complex "Astrophage" science, the emotional weight of interstellar isolation, and whether the movie successfully captures the heart of the story's unique, out-of-this-world friendship.

It's an episode full of dungeon-crawling chaos, astrophage anomalies, and stellar science.

Roll out the red carpet and check your mic levels, because it's Oscar season! This week on The Filmlosophers, the studio is under new management. With Host Eddie mysteriously MIA, Intern Manager/Managing Intern Amy confidently takes the wheel, steering Host Spencer and Intern Sarah through the glitz and glamour of Hollywood's biggest night. But before they hand out any golden statues, the crew kicks things off with a massive dive into the movie news cycle, serving up a spoiler-riffic, frame-by-frame breakdown of the explosive, newly dropped trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

Once the webs are cleared, it's time to put on our Sunday best for the 98th Academy Awards. Amy guides the trio through the night's most memorable highs and its most frustrating technical lows. They celebrate Conan O'Brien's stellar and hilarious command of the hosting duties, lament the notoriously awry audio issues that plagued the broadcast, and vent their frustrations over an In Memoriam segment that somehow forgot some incredibly important Hollywood legends. And, of course, they break down the biggest surprises, snubs, and definitive winners of the night!

It's an episode full of web-slinging theories, red carpet chaos, and Academy Award arguments.

This week, The Filmlosophers kick off their monumental 10th season as Hosts Eddie and Spencer welcome back the legendary Intern Manager/Managing Intern Amy. The trio heads into the wilderness to tackle the surprisingly wild first Pixar film of the year, Hoppers. The crew shares their unfiltered thoughts on the bizarrely delightful premise of Mabel transferring her consciousness into an animatronic beaver, praises Bobby Moynihan's lovable King George, and debates whether Jon Hamm's greedy Mayor Jerry Generazzo is the most hilariously unhinged animated villain we've had in years.

But before they safely hop back into their human bodies, the studio gets a little sentimental as the team takes a heartfelt detour down memory lane. Celebrating the dawn of Season 10, Eddie, Spencer, and Amy reflect on a full decade of cinematic hot takes, studio shenanigans, and unforgettable reviews. They discuss how far the show has come, tease some exciting new directions for the future, and, most importantly, take a moment to deeply thank the incredible listeners who have supported them along the way. Whether you've been listening since the very first mic check or just joined the community, this milestone is entirely dedicated to you.

It's an episode full of Pixar ponderings, nostalgic reflections, and a whole lot of gratitude.

Insert coin and press start, because the original trio is back in the game! This week, The Filmlosophers are fully reunited as Hosts Eddie and Spencer welcome back the legendary Intern Manager/Managing Intern Amy to the studio. Together, they dive into the neon-soaked chaos of Gore Verbinski's Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die. The crew unpacks the manic energy of Sam Rockwell, debates whether Verbinski has crafted another weird masterpiece or just a beautiful mess, and decides if this high-octane ride is the ultimate love letter to sci-fi satire or just a fever dream with a budget.

But before even the credits start, the competition heats up in the studio. Since the OG crew is back together, there's no better time for a showdown. Eddie takes the reins as game master, pitting Amy against Spencer in a brutal round of "Bad Logline Theater." The two face off to identify famous films based on the most poorly written, confusing, and hilariously vague descriptions the internet has to offer. It's a battle of wits, movie trivia, and wildly incorrect guesses as they try to decipher which cinematic classic is being butchered.

It's an episode full of cinematic chaos, Rockwellian charm, and logline lunacy. So pull up a chair, grab your popcorn, and tune in to this week's "timey-wimey" episode of The Filmlosophers!

Take a deep breath, because we're diving into a literal ocean of blood. This week, The Filmlosophers trade the podcast studio for a rusting, claustrophobic submarine to tackle one of the most unconventional video game adaptations yet. Hosts Eddie and Spencer, joined by Intern Sarah, plunge into the murky depths of Iron Lung, the highly anticipated feature film from YouTube titan Markiplier. The crew unpacks the visceral dread of navigating a doomed alien moon, debates whether the transition from let's-play tension to big-screen terror holds water, and shares their breathless reactions to the movie's relentless, pressure-cooker atmosphere.

Once they finally resurface and gasp for air, the conversation pivots to a massive new topic handed down by Intern Manager/Managing Intern Amy. The team sets out to define the sweeping, boundless world of the "animated epic." The studio heats up as they try to nail down exactly what elevates an animated film into the realm of the truly epic, debating scale, emotional stakes, and whether the grand, ambitious animated masterpieces of the 1990s still reign supreme over today's sprawling digital sagas.

It's an episode full of deep-sea dread, digital creator debuts, and animated arguments. So pull up a chair, grab your popcorn, and tune in to this week's "bloody ocean" of an episode of The Filmlosophers!

This week, The Filmlosophers return to the wasteland for their first big review of the year, diving into the brutal and long-awaited expansion of the "Rage" universe. Hosts Eddie and Spencer, along with Intern Sarah, tackle the high-stakes intensity of Nia DaCosta's 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. The crew provides their unfiltered and breathless thoughts on whether DaCosta's stylistic flair successfully reanimates the franchise, the terrifying implications of the "Bone Temple" itself, and if this legacy sequel actually justifies its two-decade wait or if the series has finally run out of blood.

Once they navigate the infested streets of post-apocalyptic Britain, the team shifts gears to discuss the most anticipated cinematic trends and "philosophy-worthy" releases slated for the coming year. While the group finds common ground on the return of practical effects and the rise of folk-horror, the studio vibes get tense when Sarah takes the mic. She delivers a startlingly detailed and wildly controversial defense for why the hyper-sprinting infected aren't actually "zombies" at all, but are instead a misunderstood evolution of humanity that we should probably stop hitting with pipes.

It's an episode full of apocalyptic adrenaline, directorial debates, and infected insights.

So pull up a chair, grab your popcorn, and tune in to this week's "bone-tastic" episode of The Filmlosophers!
