It's a jam-packed edition of the Movie Squad podcast, just in time for silly season. No, we're not talking about Xmas. We're talking about Listmas!

Next week, Tristan Fidler and Simon Miraudo share their Top 10 films of 2022. But this week, they review David Harbour's bloody new Christmas flick Violent Night (now in cinemas) and Rebecca Hall's psychological horror Resurrection (available to rent on digital platforms). They also ask Brekky host Taylah Strano for her thoughts on Glass Onion ([reviewed last week](https://rtrfm.com.au/story/glass-onion-the-menu-movie-squad-podcast-102/)), and discuss another, less esteemed list than the Movie Squad Top 10: Sight and Sound's decennial [Top 100 Films of All Time](https://www.bfi.org.uk/sight-and-sound/greatest-films-all-time).

Plus, a bonus review, just for the podcast! Listen to the end for Tristan's thoughts on Claire Denis' latest drama, Stars at Noon, starring Margaret Qualley and Joe Alwyn. It's a Listmas miracle!

Whodunnit? The Movie Squad, of course! This week, Tristan Fidler and Simon Miraudo join Breakfast host Taylah Strano to look at a couple of murderous mysteries.

First up, Simon reviews Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, which sees Daniel Craig's southern-fried gentleman detective Benoit Blanc attempt to resolve a killer crime on a Greek island.

Then, Tristan dishes on The Menu, starring Ralph Fiennes as a fine dining chef whose wealthy patrons get more than they paid for (and they already paid quite a bit).

Glass Onion is in cinemas for one week before landing on Netflix in December. The Menu is showing in cinemas.

In this episode of the Movie Squad podcast, Tristan Fidler and Simon Miraudo join Breakfast host Taylah Strano and put on their investigative fedoras to discuss two new movies about journalism.

First up, Tristan and Taylah review She Said, the cinematic adaptation of Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor's Pulitzer Prize-winning expose on notorious Hollywood sex offender Harvey Weinstein, starring Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan.

Then, Simon and Tristan cover the long-gestating return of Fletch in Confess, Fletch. This time, Jon Hamm steps in for Chevy Chase as the wry, sarcastic journo who always winds up in the middle of a murder investigation.

She Said is now in cinemas. Confess, Fletch is available to rent digitally.

For this episode of the Movie Squad Podcast, Cecilia Allen and Tristan Fidler join Breakfast host Taylah Strano to discuss two new movies in release.

Cecilia begins with Causeway, a new indie drama available to stream now on Apple Plus, which stars Jennifer Lawrence as a US soldier returning home from a tour in Afghanistan and dealing with a traumatic brain injury. Directed by Lila Neugebauer and also starring Brian Tyree Henry.

Then, Tristan looks at Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, the latest Marvel action-adventure film, which is a sequel to the successful Black Panther while also a tribute to star Chadwick Boseman who passed away before shooting began. With King T'Challa (Boseman) gone, the nation of Wakanda heals - led by Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett), Shuri (Letitia Wright) and Nakia (Lupita Nyong'o) - while also defending themselves from an underwater empire led by prince Namor (Tenoch Heurta). Out in cinemas this week.

This week on the Movie Squad pod, Tristan Fidler flies the flag solo, sharing two brand new reviews with Brekky host Taylah Strano.

First up, it's director James Gray's semi-autobiographical drama Armageddon Time, about a racism row that involves a young boy's family in Ronald Reagan's America.

Then, Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne star in the chilling true-crime procedural The Good Nurse, about one of the most notorious serial killers in history.

Armageddon Time is in select cinemas. The Good Nurse is now streaming on Netflix.

With Halloween approaching, there are further spooky movie recommendations to be found on this week's episode of the Movie Squad podcast, featuring Tristan Fidler and Cecilia Allen talking movies with Breakfast host Taylah Strano. But we also balance the horror recommendations with lighter fare, like a bright and funny rom-com!

First, Cecilia discusses the new movie, Bros, which stars comedian Billy Eichner (of Billy On The Street) who has also co-written and produced (along with Judd Apatow) the first gay romantic comedy released by a major Hollywood studio. Eichner plays Bobby (Eichner), a successful podcaster and LGBTQ+ historian who is happy with his single life in New York, yet falls in love with a muscular lawyer, Aaron (Luke Macfarlane). Directed by Nicholas Stoller (Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Bad Neighbours). Released into cinemas this week.

Then, Tristan makes a reservation and checks in with a new horror film called Barbarian, which has received a lot of positive word-of-mouth and warnings to "go in without reading anything about it." A young woman (Georgina Campbell) visiting Detroit for a job interview books an Airbnb. Arriving in the dead of night, she finds another person has booked the same house, Keith (Bill Skarsgard from It). From there, the film heads slowly into the unexpectedly horrifying. Directed by Zach Cregger. Out in cinemas now.

Spooky Seasons continues on this week's edition of the Movie Squad pod, with Simon Miraudo and Cecilia Allen covering some dark and moody flicks for guest Brekky host Emily Jane.

First, Simon reviews the latest horror reboot/sequel, Hellraiser, starring Jamie Clayton as the Hell Priest AKA Pinhead who is back tempting pleasure-seeking humans to an extradimensional world of pain.

Then, Cecilia takes a look at Dwayne Johnson's long-awaited DC anti-hero origin story, Black Adam, in which the once and former Rock's god-like character returns for revenge after 5,000 years of "chilling".

Hellraiser is now streaming on Binge. Black Adam is now in cinemas.

Spooky Seasons kicks off in earnest on this week's edition of the Movie Squad pod, as Tristan Fidler and Simon Miraudo join Brekky host Taylah Strano to deliver two chilling reviews.

First, Tristan says farewell (for now?) to Jamie Lee Curtis' iconic horror franchise with Halloween Ends, in which Laurie Strode's deathless nemesis Michael Myers comes home one. more. time.

Then, Simon investigates the French procedural The Night of the 12th, all about a French police squad investigating the misogynistic murder of a young woman.

This week on the Movie Squad pod, Tristan Fidler and Simon Miraudo reunite with Brekky host Taylah Strano who finally shares her review of Ticket to Paradise with one word: jumpsuits!

Then, Tristan delves into the mucky drama surrounding Olivia Wilde's Don't Worry Darling, trying to figure out if there's a movie at the center of the scandal worth discussing. The mystery stars Florence Pugh and Harry Styles.

Then, Simon leads a review of Australian crime flick The Stranger, which takes inspiration from a real-life tragedy to explore a meticulous police investigation. The Thomas M. Wright-directed feature stars Joel Edgerton and Sean Harris.

Both films are now in cinemas.

Let the bad times roll! This week on the Movie Squad pod, Tristan Fidler and Simon Miraudo bring two provocative stone-cold-bummers to the table for special guest Brekky host Damon Sutton.

First up, the Squad delves into the mucky, controversial and scandalising Marilyn Monroe sorta-biopic Blonde, starring Ana De Armas and directed by Andrew Dominik (Chopper).

Then, the duo looks at the not-quite-buddy-comedy On the Count of Three, directed by and starring acclaimed comedian Jerrod Carmichael, showing off his more serious side.

Blonde is now on Netflix. On the Count of Three is in cinemas.
