🎬 Mostly Film: Smurfs, Sequels & Street-Level Spidey

This week on Mostly Film, we're breaking down the newest movie trailers, the latest streaming obsessions, and all the industry news shaking up Hollywood.

🎞️ LIST IT or NIX IT
We kick things off with rapid reactions to the week’s hottest trailers. Should they make the Letterboxd watchlist—or get the axe?

• Keeper

• Mortal Kombat 2

• Hoppers

• After the Hunt
  Our verdicts are swift, occasionally savage, and (mostly) fair.

📺 What We’ve Been Watching
Jonathan dives into Smurfs, Eddington, while JP explores some fresh 2025 releases like Sovereign and more from Eddington. We also check in on the return of Dexter: Resurrection, the surprise hit Countdown, and the promising new series Murderbot.

📰 The News
We round things out with the week’s biggest headlines:

• Lilo & Stitch remake hits $1B — the first Hollywood film of 2025 to do so

• Blade delays are intentional, says Marvel, with a focus on quality for Mahershala Ali

• Spider-Man: Brand New Day is officially street-level, and a Human Torch team-up is now in play

• Skydance x Paramount merger update — the $8B media shake-up continues

• Taika Waititi signs on for a new Judge Dredd film

• Dune: Part 3 casts Jason Momoa’s son as the next generation of Atreides

All that plus our usual banter, a few strong opinions, and maybe an accidental hot take.

🎥 It’s mostly film... but always mostly takes.
