Our Taste Is Trash

This week on Our Taste is Trash, our hosts, Josh and Jade, discuss Elizabeth Banks has she is set to play Karen Read in a Prime Video limited series based on the true-crime frenzy around Read’s June 2025 acquittal for the death of her Boston cop boyfriend.

Next up, the hosts break down the SNL cast shakeup as Devon Walker, Emil Wakim, Michael Longfellow, and veteran Heidi Gardner leave the show.

Then, in Weekly Watches:

• Peacemaker Season 2 (HBO Max, premiered Aug 21): James Gunn’s follow‑up to The Suicide Squad continues in his newly rebooted DC Universe. Critics say it’s darker, heavier, more emotional than Season 1—with Cena delivering, a tragic multiverse twist, and a brutal arc pitting Peacemaker against version of himself and the man who killed his dad.
• Superman (2025): Gunn’s official Superman reboot (starring David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult as Lex) skips a traditional origin story and drops us into a hopeful, charismatic world where Superman isn’t a god, he’s a human-hearted hero—complete with Krypto the dog and a screwball romance tone. Grossed over US $600 m globally; critics praise its lightness and earnestness, though some say it’s overstuffed
• Fisk Season 3 (Netflix): Kitty Flanagan returns as Helen Tudor‑Fisk in this quirky Aussie probate-law comedy. Now a partner at Gruber & Fisk, she navigates bonkers estate cases and awkward networking snafus. Fans found it charming, though some say the third season lacks the flawless flow of earlier ones.

This week, Josh and Jade take on Eenie Meanie (2025), Hulu’s shiny new attempt at a heist thriller that can’t quite decide if it wants to be a comedy, a drama, or just a very expensive car commercial. Directed by Shawn Simmons (in his feature debut) and starring Samara Weaving, Karl Glusman, Andy Garcia, Steve Zahn, Jermaine Fowler, Marshawn Lynch, and Randall Park, the movie follows Edie, a pregnant ex–getaway driver dragged back into crime by her hot mess of an ex-boyfriend and a gangster who clearly shops at the same tailor as every other mob boss in cinema history.

But here’s the problem: Eenie Meanie stuffs more subplots into its 106 minutes than most TV shows manage in a season. Toxic romance? Check. Surprise pregnancy? Check. Daddy issues, betrayal, redemption, AND a casino heist? Double check. It’s chaotic, it’s messy, and honestly—it’s kind of hilarious for all the wrong reasons. Which, of course, makes it the perfect kind of trash.

This week, Josh and Jade tackle the brand-new trailer for The Paper, Peacock's upcoming spinoff comedy from NBC's The Office, in which a documentary crew focuses its efforts on the Toledo Truth-Teller, a historic but declining Ohio newspaper trying to resurrect itself with volunteer reporters. They also break down Hulu’s official death date (RIP, yet another streaming service we’ll forget existed in the next year). And finally, they dive into Wednesday Season 2, Part 1 — does Jenna Ortega continue to deliver, or is Nevermore Academy starting to feel more like a Spirit Halloween?

As always, it’s hot takes, questionable opinions, and way too many tangents about things nobody asked for. Listen now.

This week on Our Taste Is Trash, hosts Josh and Jade dive into the chilling, time-loop horror thriller Until Dawn (2025), directed by David F. Sandberg and written by Gary Dauberman and Blair Butler. The film is based on the hit 2015 PlayStation video game of the same name, bringing its branching-choice, survival-horror story to the big screen.

The movie stars Ella Rubin (Clover), Michael Cimino (Max), Odessa A’zion (Nina), Ji-young Yoo (Megan), Belmont Cameli (Abe), with Maia Mitchell as Melanie and Peter Stormare reprising his iconic role as Dr. Hill.

Inside this episode Josh and Jade also discuss why practical effects deliver bigger thrills in a slasher than CGI and their own horror movie survival skills—and who would likely make it to sunrise.

Smash that play button.

This week on the B-Roll, Josh and Jade discuss the American Eagle jeans commercial acting as a racist dog whistle, the new dance number to mark Peacemaker's Season 2 debut, and how the MCU needs to stop jamming every movie into its universe and let some films stand on their own two feet.

This episode is packed with opinions, most of them - trash. Click play and enjoy!

This week, Josh and Jade review the vampire horror film, Sinners (HBO Max). The movie is written and directed by Ryan Coogler. Set in 1932 in the Mississippi Delta, the film stars Michael B. Jordan in dual roles as criminal twin brothers who return to their hometown to start again where they are confronted by a supernatural evil. The film co-stars Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Caton (in his film debut), Jack O'Connell, Wunmi Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, Omar Miller, and Delroy Lindo.

Our hosts also discuss Coogler's impressive film resume and the unique rules of vampire lore the film establishes.

Buckle in for another episode of "Our Taste is Trash."

This week on Our Taste is Trash, Josh and Jade sink their hooves into the dark comedy, Death of a Unicorn, from writer-director Alex Scharfman. Starring Paul Rudd, Jenna Ortega, Will Poulter, Richard Grant, and Téa Leoni, the film blends satire, horror, and... a dead unicorn. Yeah, really.

The hosts unpack the film’s wild plot, plus discuss peer pressure in the film industry.

Also: hats off to Will Poulter, who delivers an amazingly convincing American accent in the film. So convincing, Jade wonders if he’s actually British anymore.

As always, there's banter, bold opinions, and a little unicorn magic. Subscribe now and join us for another trashy episode.

This week on The B-Roll, Josh and Jade are back with a Fourth of July-flavored grab bag of hot takes and chaotic energy. Inside this episode,The Bear is back for Season 4, and our hosts have thoughts on the pacing and character development and it's giving both Michelin stars and emotional damage.

Also, why the Fourth of July isn't hitting the same this year, and a look ahead at the upcoming TV slate that actually has us excited to be alive. We’re talking Alice in Borderland Season 3, Wednesday Season 2, Peacemaker Season 2, and a few surprise picks that might just end up on your watchlist.

Follow and subscribe wherever you listen, because our taste may be trash, but our opinions are treasure.

Josh and Jade go Deep Cover — literally — with a review of Amazon’s 2025 action-comedy, directed by Tom Kingsley and starring Bryce Dallas Howard, Orlando Bloom, and Nick Mohammed. It’s got crime rings, improv students posing as cops, and more chaos than a Pride parade in the rain. Along the way, they detour into Pride parade festivities, the unique pain of watching improv actors “yes, and” themselves into oblivion, and a nostalgic confession about how Orlando Bloom in elf ears may have irreversibly shaped their sexual identities. It’s chaotic, it’s heartfelt, it’s trash — just how we like it.
