We’re saying it out loud — and early: Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie is the best movie we’re going to see this year.

On this episode of Thumb War, we break down the film’s impossible ambition, guerrilla filmmaking genius, time-travel chaos, and why this deeply specific Canadian comedy somehow feels universal. It’s hilarious, heartfelt, and a reminder of what theatrical comedies can still be.

If it’s playing near you, go see it with a crowd. Immediately.

The penultimate episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms delivers one of the most intense, exhausting battle sequences the franchise has ever attempted.

On this episode of Thumb War, we break down the Trial of Seven, the puke-filled chaos, Dunk’s disorienting POV, brutal flashbacks, and why this episode might be the best battle Westeros has ever seen.

It’s gory, emotional, and unforgettable — and it sets the stage for a devastating finale.

Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights is messy, heat, confrontational, and absolutely not interested in pleasing everyone.

On this episode of Thumb War, we break down Fennell’s bold interpretation of the Brontë classic — from erotic denial and cruelty-as-romance to audience backlash, Valentine’s Day chaos, and why this movie feels designed to make people uncomfortable.

Is it brilliant? Is it too much? Or is that the whole idea?

Episodes 4 and 5 of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy lean heavily on legacy name-drops and Deep Space Nine nostalgia — but is that enough?

In this episode of Thumb War, we break down the hologram storyline that doesn’t hold up, the Klingon cultural pivot, the triad reveal, and why Episode 5 might be the most frustrating (and maybe most boring) chapter of the season so far.

We want to love new Star Trek. But honoring the past means more than just referencing it.

Is this bold evolution… or just confused storytelling? Let us know what you think.

We’re officially gushing — and in Westeros, that’s never a good sign.

In this episode of Thumb War, we dive into Episode 4 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, breaking down why the show feels so emotionally locked in right now, how Dunk & Egg’s relationship continues to deepen, and why the approaching Trial of Seven has us bracing for real consequences.

It’s a near-perfect episode of television — warm, funny, thoughtful, and quietly terrifying in what it’s setting up next.

Rogue One is tragic, brutal, and maybe the best Star Wars movie outside the original trilogy.

Jason, Rachel, and Jeshua revisit Rogue One in timeline order and unpack why it still hits so hard — from its war-movie structure and unforgettable ending to how Andor completely reframes Cassian’s story. We also get into K-2SO love, digital Tarkin debates, and why this movie feels so different from modern Star Wars.

Spoilers throughout.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple Review | Body Horror, Cult Logic & Chaos

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple doesn’t expand the world — it traps you inside it.

On this episode of Thumb War, we dive into the franchise’s most disturbing chapter yet, breaking down Ray Fiennes’ fearless performance, the cult dynamics around the Bone Temple, and why this film feels closer to torture-adjacent body horror than traditional zombie cinema.

It’s brutal. It’s intimate. And it might be the boldest swing the series has taken.

Episode 2 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms proves this isn’t just another Westeros spin-off — it’s something smaller, sweeter, and way more effective.

On this episode of Thumb War, we dig into why Dunk & Egg’s chemistry is the secret sauce of the series, how seeing Westeros from ground level changes everything, and why this show works even if you don’t know every sigil, house, or rebellion.

It’s funny, heartfelt, efficient storytelling — and it might be HBO’s most quietly confident fantasy series in years.
