Guillermo del Toro finally brings his dream project to life — and we’re diving straight into the lab. Frankenstein (2025) hits cinemas before its Netflix debut, with Oscar Isaac as the obsessed creator and Jacob Elordi as the creature.

We talk about the beauty in del Toro’s sets and world-building, how he makes a long, heavy film feel surprisingly light on its feet, and why his version might be the redemption arc for the failed Monsterverse. Plus, we go off-track (as always) with a chat about Tron: Ares — and why we think it’s going to be better than people are expecting.

This week we dig into One Battle After Another, Paul Thomas Anderson’s wild, politically charged, action‐thriller/satire starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Bob Ferguson — ex-revolutionary turned off-grid father. When his old nemesis resurfaces after 16 years, Bob must rescue his missing daughter Willa, confronting his past and the chaos he helped create. We also debate Denis Villeneuve’s Bond casting chatter, break down the Mandalorian & Grogu trailer, and compare just how many Paul Thomas Anderson films we’ve actually seen (are we missing some classics?).

This week we dive into A Big Bold Beautiful Journey and share our thoughts on its heartfelt storytelling, beautiful cinematography and brilliant use of colour. We also chat about Harry Potter’s return to the big screen with Magic Mondays, react to the trailers for Anaconda and The Housemaid, and debate whether Sam will finally commit to watching the entire Twilight saga.

This week we’re talking about Caught Stealing, Darren Aronofsky’s wild new crime comedy starring Austin Butler. Set in 1998 New York, it follows Hank, a washed-up ex-baseball player turned bartender, whose life spirals out of control after agreeing to cat-sit for his neighbour. What starts as a simple favour explodes into a violent chase with gangsters, mobsters, and a scene-stealing cat.

With a stacked cast including Zoë Kravitz, Regina King, Matt Smith, Liev Schreiber, and Vincent D’Onofrio, Caught Stealing mixes chaos, dark humour, and Aronofsky’s trademark intensity. We break down what works, where it might divide audiences, and whether this could be one of 2025’s surprise hits.
