  • 2025 Venice and Toronto Film Festival Previews, "Paris, Texas"

    Grierson is about to head to Venice and Toronto for nearly a month, so we preview both film festivals, and really the entire fall season, before he takes off. Then we have a classic reboot, Wim Wenders' "Paris, Texas." And we'll do a short fill-in show before Grierson returns, don't worry. Hi.

    Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy.

  • "Highest 2 Lowest," "Nobody 2," "Wonder Boys"

    There's a new Spike Lee movie! That's always a big deal in Grierson & Leitch land, so we dig into Lee's newest, starring Denzel Washington, "Highest 2 Lowest." We also discuss the Bob Odenkirk action sequel "Nobody 2."

    Then, in our Reboot segment, we go all the way back to the year 2000 for Curtis Hanson's "Wonder Boys."

  • "Weapons," "The Naked Gun," "Together"

    We took a week off while Will was either in Virginia or Tennessee, he's still not sure which, but we're back with a vengeance with three big ones this week.

    First, it's Zach Cregger's follow-up to "Barbarian," the ambitious "Weapons." Then we get to two movies we missed the week before: "The Naked Gun" and "Together." And there was so much to discuss with "Weapons" that, at the end of the show, we actually have a spoilers discussion. So beware!

    So, Ari Aster has a new movie out, about Covid. You ready for that? We discuss "Eddington." Also, even though it has been out for a while, we never got around to Eva Victor's "Sorry, Baby," so we hit that.

    Is "Superman" the biggest movie of the year? We've got a whole bunch to discuss, that's for sure. We dig into James Gunn's restarting of the DC Universe with the guy in the tights.

  • "28 Years Later," "Materialists," "Elio," "The Life of Chuck"

    Sorry we were off a week! Travel problems caused all sorts of issues for Leitch getting out of Oklahoma City with his son, so this week, we've got a super-sized mega-show with four big movies. They are:

    "28 Years Later," the Danny Boyle-Alex Garland sequel. "Materialists," Celine Song's "Past Lives" followup. "Elio," Pixar's latest "The Life of Chuck," the Stephen King adaptation that won the audience award at the Toronto Film Festival.
