The $75 million dollar Melania Trump documentary hit theaters this weekend, and we were there to witness it on opening night. In this emergency episode of the Lodgecast, we tell you all we encountered on the screen and in the Burbank 16 theater that projected this movie.

This film takes place in the 20 days before Donald Trump's second presidential inauguration. We witnessed all 104 minutes and will tell you all of our observations in this special episode!

King Chalamet is back in Marty Supreme! This time as the fast-talking, super-confident ping pong player Marty Mauser. Safdie bro Josh wrote and directed this picture. It also stars Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A'zion, Kevin O'Leary, Tyler "the Creator" Okonma, Abel Ferrara, and Fran Drescher. The movie features an exceptional soundtrack of 80s music and synth score by Daniel Lopatin. Timothee Chalamet shines on the silver screen and may just get Oscar gold for his electric performance! We'll let you know what we thought of Timothee and everyone else in this prestigious hawt take!

No one has heard of the movie called Going Viral, but it features actor and musician Corey Feldman, so we watched it to give us an excuse to talk about all things Corey. Feldman holds a deep place in Lodge history, so most of this episode consists of our stories about Corey.

We do briefly discuss Going Viral which has no stars except for Corey, and is not worth watching! But enjoy our recollections on the legend of Corey Feldman!

From the bestselling book by Freida McFadden comes the big screen adaptation of The Housemaid. This erotic psychological thriller is directed by Paul Feig (Bridesmaids). Sydney Sweeney shows up to become a live-in housekeeper for a wealthy couple played by Amanda Seyfried and Brandon Sklenar. As Seyfried's character begins acting crazy, we quickly learn that all is not what it seems.

Critics and audiences were generally favorable, but we'll let you know what we thought in this episode, stacked with a minivan full of guests!

Avatar: Fire and Ash exploded into theaters this holiday season. Spider and the gang are back in James Cameron's third installment of the Avatar saga. We traveled to the tundra of Minnesota to join a special group of adventurers for this trip to Pandora.

Jake Sully and Neytiri return, along with their family, battling RDA forces and a fiery Mangkwan tribe. The movie stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Kate Winslet, CCH Pounder, Edie Falco, Jemaine Clement, Giovanni Ribisi, Oona Chaplin (Charlie Chaplin's granddaughter) as Varang, and Jack Champion as Spider!

With a 197-minute runtime, this is the longest Avatar yet, and we were all in! Take a trip with us to Pandora on this special Lodgecast episode!

Happy New Year! The Lodgemaster & Lodgemistress are back with another intimately Wicked episode! Will they love this epic conclusion to the popular musical tale, or will they rip it apart with tornados of scorn? You are but a clock tick away from finding out!

Merry Christmas! Our holiday special Lodgecast movie this year is Tyler Perry's Finding Joy. Tyler Perry has been churning out movies faster than we can cover them in the past few years. He wrote and directed 4 movies plus 40 episodes of TV in 2025!

Finding Joy dropped onto Amazon Prime Video in November. It stars Shannon Thornton as Joy, along with Tosin Morohunfola, Brittany S. Hall, Inayah, and Aaron O'Connell. Joy is a fashion designer in New York City who travels to Colorado for the holidays only to discover an unlikely love interest in backwoodsman Ridge (Tosin Morohunfola).

While this might not be Tyler Perry's finest movie, it left us with plenty to talk about in this holiday feast of a Lodgecast. We hope that you all find joy in the New Year!

Director Edgar Wright has remade The Running Man! The Richard Bachman (Stephen King) 1982 novel was set in a dystopian United States during the year 2025, so I guess this is the year to remake it. We talk about the superior adaptation from 1987 starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Then we get into the new one starring Glen Powell.

The cast of the new Running Man also features William H. Macy, Lee Pace, Michael Cera, Emilia Jones, Daniel Ezra, Jayme Lawson, Sean Hayes, Colman Domingo, and Josh Brolin. Glen Powell stars as Ben Richards who goes on a dangerous network TV reality show to try to survive 30 days and possibly win $1 billion dollars.

Now we live in a world where the mass media is in heavy decline and The Running Man seems like a satire of network television that is way outdated. And that's just one of the many criticisms we'll throw at this latest rendition of The Running Man!

Die My Love received a D+ CinemaScore, which pretty much made it a must-see for the Lodgecast!

The movie is directed by Lynne Ramsay and based on a 2012 novel by Ariana Harwicz. It stars Jennifer Lawrence as Grace, a young mother in rural Montana grappling with severe postpartum depression and psychosis that unravels her marriage to her husband Jackson (Robert Pattinson). The supporting cast includes LaKeith Stanfield, Nick Nolte, and Sissy Spacek.

We’ll give our thoughts on the cinema of Lynne Ramsay before we cover how this movie consistently beat us down for 2 hours. It’s a brutal film with a wild performance by Jennifer Lawrence and a miscast Robert Pattinson. We took the cinematic beating so you don’t have to! This is Die My Love!

Matt's Movie Lodgecast Episode Number 200 is upon us! For this, we picked the highly anticipated and prestigious film Bugonia from Greek god and director Yorgos Lanthimos.

For this film, Yorgos has remade a 2003 South Korean movie called Save the Green Planet! Jesse Plemons plays a conspiracy theorist who, along with his cousin, abducts the CEO of the pharmaceutical company played by Emma Stone. Plemons' character delves into all sorts of alien conspiracy theories as Emma Stone's character tries to convince him otherwise.

The film also stars Aidan Delbis, Stavros Halkias, and Alicia Silverstone. It's another strange Yorgos vision with a wild ending that we'll spoil in this 200th episode!
