From the director of Wet Hot American Summer (2001) comes a new comedy called Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass (2026). Gail Daughtry (Zoey Deutch) is a hairdresser in small-town Kansas who chooses Jon Hamm as her "celebrity sex pass". After her fiance sleeps with Jennifer Aniston, Gail heads to LA with her friends to find Jon Hamm.

The movie stars Zoey Deutch, John Slattery, Ken Marino, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, Ben Wang, Sabrina Impacciatore, and Jon Hamm, along with plenty of fun celebrity cameos.

Homer! Nolan! Damon! Epic! Hawt! Take! The ancient Greek epic poem has been adapted into a 173-minute epic action fantasy film.

Shot entirely on IMAX 70mm film cameras, we definitely saw this in IMAX. With a $250 million budget, it doesn't get any bigger than this!

The stacked cast includes Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, Samantha Morton, Zendaya, Charlize Theron, Jon Bernthal, Elliot Page, and John Leguizamo. Damon is Odysseus heading home by sea after the Trojan War to get back to his wife Penelope (Hathaway).

You've seen it. Now hear our hawt take. If you haven't seen it, go out of your house and see it BIG!

It was time for the Lodgecast to finally face the Michael Jackson biopic. We gathered up our collective Michael Jackson knowledge to discuss him and speculate on what this biopic was going to be. Then we entered the Dolby Cinema to witness his life and music from the 1960s to the late 1980s. Michael Jackson's nephew Jaafar Jackson plays Michael, with Juliano Valdi playing him as a child.

The supporting cast includes Nia Long, KeiLyn Durrel Jones, Laura Harrier, Jessica Sula, Mike Myers, Miles Teller, and Colman Domingo as the villainous Joseph Jackson.

Directed by Antoine Fuqua, this movie has grossed over $1 billion dollars! Join us as we review Michael (2026)!

Writer/director Kristoffer Borgli is back! If you've not heard of him, he was the comedic writer/director behind Sick of Myself (2022) and Dream Scenario (2023) (both worth seeing). He returns to his dark cringe comedy with The Drama, starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson as a happily engaged couple whose relationship takes a bad turn a week before their wedding. Alana Haim serves as the maid of honor, and Mamoudou Athie is the best man. The movie involves confessing the worst things you've ever done, and some Lodgers give their own dark confessions of mayhem they caused in their youth. Tune into this darkly humorous episode!

You may have forgotten about Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride!, but back in March, we covered this Frankenstein goth romance starring Jessie Buckley as The Bride and Christian Bale as Frank.

It’s set in 1936 Chicago and is quite unhinged. It also features Peter Sarsgaard, Annette Bening, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Penelope Cruz. Maggie Gyllenhaal wrote and directed this film, in case you didn’t know. The movie was a box office bomb and got mixed reviews.

Mostly, we covered it in order to say goodbye to an old friend, which you will hear about in this special episode!

The Lodgecast triumphantly returns to cover a new adaptation of the Masters of the Universe! After the success of Mattel's Barbie, $200 million was poured into this sword-and-sorcery comedy.

They battle it out along with Camila Mendes, Jared Leto, Alison Brie, James Purefoy, Johannes Haukur Johannesson, Charlotte Riley, Kristen Wiig, Morena Baccarin, and Idris Elba as Man-At-Arms. It's a 140-minute epic return to the planet Eternia.

The film was directed by Travis Knight with four credited writers. It received mixed reviews and performed mildly at the box office. We'll let you know what we thought in this epic Lodgecast!
