    This week on The Reel Study, we’re kicking off Noirvember with an Edward G. Robinson double feature: The Woman in the Window (1944) and Scarlet Street (1945). From a quiet professor whose chance encounter with a mysterious woman leads to murder and blackmail to a lonely, unassuming cashier whose obsession with a young woman pulls him into a web of deception and crime, these films showcase the dark side of desire and the dangerous consequences of crossing the wrong line.

  • Cursed (2005) & Upgrade (2018): Spooky Month Finale Movie Review

    This week on The Reel Study, we’re wrapping up Spooky Month with two very different nightmares Cursed (2005) and Upgrade (2018). From a werewolf attack that leaves two siblings fighting to escape a terrifying curse to a man who receives an experimental artificial intelligence implant after a brutal attack, these films explore what happens when the human body becomes something frighteningly unfamiliar. One brings supernatural horror with a darkly comedic twist, while the other delivers a chilling vision of technology, vengeance, and the loss of control.

    Before the discussion, catch up on The Reel News for the latest movie headlines. Then check out Reel Roundup, where the panel shares their first-time watches whether it’s a brand-new release in theatres, a streaming debut, or an older film they’re finally catching up on.

  • Hokum & Backrooms: Two Nightmares to Kick Off Spooky Month

    This week on The Reel Study, Spooky Month begins with two very different trips into the unknown: Hokum and Backrooms.

  • A Stunt-Filled Double Feature: Death Proof & The Fall Guy

    This week on The Reel Study, we’re putting stunt work front and center with a double feature that takes the art of the stunt in two very different directions — Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof and David Leitch’s The Fall Guy. From the brutal, high-speed thrills of a killer stuntman and one unforgettable car chase to a love letter to the stunt performers who risk it all to bring movies to life, these films show just how much impact a great stunt can have on the big screen.

    Before the discussion, catch up on The Reel News for the latest movie headlines. Then check out Reel Roundup, where the panel shares their first-time watches — whether it’s a brand-new release in theatres, a streaming debut, or an older film they’re finally catching up on.

  • Cape Fear: 1962 vs. 1991 | The Reel Study Season 6 Premiere

    This week on The Reel Study, we’re kicking off Season 6 with a suspenseful double feature that puts two generations of filmmaking face-to-face, Cape Fear (1962) and Cape Fear (1991). From J. Lee Thompson’s classic thriller starring Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum to Martin Scorsese’s intense reimagining featuring Robert De Niro and Nick Nolte, we’re exploring how two directors approached the same story decades apart.

    Before the main discussion, catch up on The Reel News as the panel covers this week’s biggest movie headlines, including Resident Evil opens big as Spider-Man: Brand New Day Breaks Record, and Happy Death Day 3 story is ready, awaiting funding and World War Z 2 in the Works With Brad Pitt and Director Edward Berger.

    Then check out Reel Roundup, where the panel shares their first-time watches. Whether it’s a brand-new release in theatres, a streaming debut, or an older film they’re finally catching up on.
