Coming in hot — literally, because we recorded this while filming Clue.If you’ve enjoyed our usual media news segment, then you already know we love a good ramble… and boy howdy, are we good at that. This time, we’re talking about everything, nothing, and forming some very strong opinions along the way.At the end of the day, we are tired of this, Grandpa. And yes, we know: THAT’S TOO DAMN BAD.👑 Topics covered:RIP Dolly and Tim!Putting therapy tools to WORKAre Stranger Things seasons 3 and 4 unnecessary?Directors not doing their jobs and relying too heavily on unscripted/improv moments?9/11 and Robert Pattinson make their biweekly appearance, as tradition demands🎥 What is Midnight Rentals?Two best friends. Minimal research. Absolutely insane movies.Join Autumn and Celeste as they dive headfirst into the glorious dumpster fire of cinema and pop culture. Why do people like these things so much? Why do we like them so much?! What’s wrong with all of us?!Between low budgets, questionable acting, and plots that defy all logic, they somehow find time to spill on pop culture, overshare about their lives, and debate things that have absolutely nothing to do with the movie.New episodes every month. At least.Snacks encouraged.

This September eve brings many a gag, gasp, and giggle as we retrace our steps through the halls of Hill House and ask the important questions: WHO did it? WHERE? With WHAT? And most importantly… why is everyone in this movie serving so hard???This episode is brought to you in honor of Tim Curry and Dolly Parton. Icons. Divas. Artists. People who understood that subtlety is OPTIONAL.Join us as we revisit *Clue* a movie with approximately 47 murders, 900 doors, one deeply suspicious dinner party, and enough running through hallways to qualify as cardio.A murder mystery? Technically.A farce? Absolutely.We want to thank viewers like YOU for supporting local artists ;) 🎭🔪🎥 **What is Midnight Rentals?**Two best friends. Minimal research.

As promised - did discuss the new X-Men cast for way too long and are here to deliver on a BONUS EPISODE this week!!! If you love our usual media news segment, you will eat this up. Join us as we review some announcements from D23(a DISNEY convention, I know...), talk about some of our picks for other characters in the new franchise, and fangirl a little too much over Adam Driver. An episode made for the PEOPLE!

This episode's just to good to be true - can't take our eyes off of...every actor in this movie jfc. This week we are traveling back in time to the years that we were born in but thru the lens of high schoolers rather than babies this time. Join us as we watch Julia Stiles dancing to Biggie within this high school romcom that is secretly a phenomenal Shakespeare adaption. A film made for everyone! Girls, gays, theys, and ESPECIALLY dudebros too! A love letter to the 2000s inexplicably set in MODERN times this time. Help us conclude Heath Ledger August in styyyyle baby 😎

HUZZAH! This week we are chancing our stars headfirst into A Knight's Tale (2001) — and honestly??? Some of us (cough cough AUTUMN!) were not prepared for how GOOD this movie is. A near perfect script (-1 for lack of jesters) top to bottom, a succinct story, heart, passion, courage, warm feelings and humor. A male fantasy high that somehow doesn't exclude anyone at the table. A love letter to the 2000s inexplicably set in medieval times. Heath Ledger said let them eat cake and somehow HE ate (get it??? like he ate that up) 🏇✨👑 Topics covered:Hot takes on the Elvis and the Priscilla movies (we got there eventually)Why this script is genuinely close to perfectThe casting, the heart, the humor and the chaosHow a medieval movie became the most 2000s thing ever madeWhy this is a male fantasy film that actually works for everyoneHeath Ledger (obviously) ( and Celeste maybe can't stop talking about Paul Bettany)🎥 What is Midnight Rentals?Two best friends.

This week we dive headfirst into the mystical, magical, tragical and dramatical world of Odysseus. Christopher Nolan's take on Homer's epic — a success? a flop? let us tell you. Beautiful actors, a non-linear timeline, time jumps, greek mythos, how will we stay on track?? spoiler: we don't...but we REALLY tried. 👁️⚡👻 Topics covered:The good, the bad and the beautiful casting choicesGreek mythology deep cuts (and shallow ones)What worked, what didn't, and what sent us completely off topicWhether this lives up to the Nolan legacy or dies trying📼 You can watch The Odyssey in theaters now if you want to watch along.

BUCKLE UP! We went to a drive in and we watched the newest DC addition to their cinematic universe - Supergirl(2026). And boy did we have a lot of thoughts about it and a lot of thoughts about a LOT of other things too. Did this deliver as a follow-up to Superman? Is it a good comic adaption? Is it a good movie even????? Stay tuned to find out..?
