Our final KS for the first quarter of 2026 brings you more adventures in traumatizing Joe in his Film Aesthetics class (this week's movie was Alfonso Cuarón's Children of Men), talk about Round Two of Natalie Lander's show Earth to Squiggy, teased a bit of our maiden voyage of Fresh Flicks with Johannes Roberts' Primate (out this Wednesday for Early Access here on Patreon), and some sad tales of missing one of our favorite movie theaters: Arclight Cinema.

You can find Natalie Lander on IG here and Alex Ellis here!

It's March so it can only mean one thing: TUBI OR NOT TUBI! This is that time of year where we let Tubi pick our movies, and we do a commentary for our first time watches!

To bridge things with the last time we did with with Freddy in 2024, we used our last movie Bitch Slap to recommend where we begin in 2026. That led us to Wild Things 2!

From IMDB: Sequel to the hot film Wild Things, Wild Things 2 sees teenage bad girls Maya and Britney go on a sex and killing spree to win millions.

That's what IMDB says, but don't get it twisted. This is NOT a sequel to the original 1998 movie with Neve Campbell, Denise Richards, Matt Dillion, and Kevin Bacon. It's an IP title alone with liberally lifted parallels to the original.)

Wild Things 2 is currently available to stream on TUBI, as well as rental and purchase digitally from wherever you get your digital anythings.
