This week on episode #170 of The Harsh Language Podcast, we dive into Pizza Movie, a comedy that feels like it was ripped straight out of the 2000s studio comedy era. At a time when theatrical comedies are almost extinct, the movie clearly wants to bring back that chaotic, dumb-fun energy that used to dominate, but does it actually work? We break down whether the humor lands, why this style of comedy disappeared in the first place, and if audiences still even want movies like this anymore.

We also talk about why Stephen King fans need to check out Widow’s Bay, and discuss why comic books still struggle to be taken seriously as a storytelling medium.

This week on episode #169 of The Harsh Language Podcast, it's Marvin's first time watching They Live! It’s a movie most people think they already understand, but the deeper you go, the more unsettling it actually becomes. On the surface, it’s often reduced to a story about capitalism and consumerism, but we get into the much more uncomfortable idea at the core of the film. We break down why this movie still hits, what makes it so effective, and why it might be one of John Carpenter’s most misunderstood films.

We also talk about whether Daredevil: Born Again is actually working, react to a wild X-Men rumor involving Jean Grey and Spider-Man, and discuss why something feels really suspicious about the reviews for the Michael Jackson biopic Michael.

Between behind-the-scenes controversy, cast shakeups, and mixed reactions from critics and audiences, this is one of the strangest releases the franchise has ever had. We break down how Scream 7 ended up becoming the highest grossing film in the series, what works, what doesn’t, and what it says about the franchise moving forward.

This week on episode #167 of The Harsh Language Podcast, we dive into Send Help, the latest film from Sam Raimi that’s being praised as a return to form, and even his highest rated movie in 22 years. On paper, it has everything you’d expect from a Raimi comeback, but does it actually feel like one? We break down what works, what doesn’t, and why the movie never fully comes together despite having all the right pieces.

We also talk about why the new Supergirl trailer hit harder than expected, and react to Vincent D’Onofrio saying what a lot of Marvel fans have been thinking.

This week on episode #166 of The Harsh Language Podcast, we dive into The World’s Fastest Indian, a movie that feels like it should be talked about way more than it is. With an incredible performance from Anthony Hopkins and a simple, inspiring story, it’s the kind of film people say they want more of, so why does it feel like everyone forgot about it? We break down why the movie works so well, what makes it stand out, and why it never really became part of the broader movie conversation.

We also talk about why The Madison is everything the Yellowstone spinoffs aren’t, and get into Netflix raising prices while their content keeps getting worse. Plus we break down the truth about piracy and Hollywood’s narrative around it and discuss why the industry might benefit from bringing in more voices from outside the system.

This week on episode #165 of The Harsh Language Podcast, we dive into War Machine, a movie that might be the perfect Netflix film... and that’s not a compliment. It’s built to be easy to watch, easy to follow, and just engaging enough to keep on in the background… which raises a bigger question about what Netflix actually wants movies to be. We break down why War Machine feels like “empty calories,” what works about it on a surface level, and why there’s ultimately nothing pulling you deeper.

We also talk about why everyone might be wrong about the Lanterns trailer, whether Spiderman: Brand New Day is actually as promising as it looks, and why the 2026 Oscars played out exactly how we expected. Plus we get into how Val Kilmer’s AI resurrection highlights a major problem in Hollywood.

This week on episode #164 of The Harsh Language Podcast, we review F1: The Movie, the massive racing blockbuster that’s been praised as one of the most technically impressive films in years. The racing sequences are incredible, the sense of speed is insane, and the craftsmanship is undeniable, but does the movie actually have anything meaningful to say underneath all that spectacle? We break down why F1 works so well on a technical level and whether the story and characters live up to the same standard.

We also talk about why modern horror marketing might actually be hurting the genre it claims to support, Netflix making what could be the most dangerous move in Hollywood right now, we debate whether cancel culture really killed comedy movies.

Nearly 30 years later, we revisit the film to see if it actually lives up to its reputation. We break down why the movie still works so well, how the performances from Al Pacino and Robert De Niro hold up, and the deeper emotional core that makes Heat feel like more than just a heist thriller.

This week on episode #161 of The Harsh Language Podcast, we review Blue Moon, a film that completely defied our expectations by avoiding every tired biopic trope in the book. While we walked in expecting another sanitized tribute, Richard Linklater delivered a gritty, real-time character study that forced us to reconsider everything we thought we knew about the biopic genre. We dive into how the 90-minute "hangout" format creates a brutal, honest look at fame and obsolescence.

We also break down why Wonder Man is officially Marvel's best project in years. Plus, we discuss the historic milestone for John Carpenter’s The Thing and pay tribute to the legendary Catherine O’Hara.
