The guys break down every must-see indie darling and blockbuster film hitting theaters this fall.

Before diving into a massive preview of the movies set to define Fall 2025, Josh and Eric get sidetracked by the important questions in life: soft vs. crunchy beef jerky, the ethics of eating a $9 pint of protein ice cream by yourself, and the polarizing characters of

Shrinking. Once the snacks are settled, the guys unpack a stacked season of upcoming films. They discuss Jennifer Lawrence's return to form in Die My Love, Daniel Day-Lewis's shocking return from retirement for Anemone, and whether Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson can finally prove his acting chops in The Smashing Machine. Get ready for a passionate, hilarious, and exhaustive guide to your new favorite films.
