The reel starts rolling with our very first episode!

We dive into the biggest stories in film this week, including Leonardo DiCaprio dropping out of Damien Chazelle’s Evel Knievel biopic and pivoting to work with Martin Scorsese again. We also cover Tom Cruise’s mission to make movies into his 100s, and the wildly divisive AI-generated creatures from Lucasfilm’s latest Star Wars experiment.

From Cannes, we break down early reactions to Spike Lee’s "Highest 2 Lowest", Wes Anderson’s puzzling "The Phoenician Scheme", and the unnerving debut feature "The Plague."

Plus, new trailers for:

• 🦖 Jurassic World: Rebirth
• 🕷️ Predator: Killer of Killers (animated anthology!)
• 🧾 Caught Stealing – Aronofsky goes full Guy Ritchie

We close out with a Weekend Box Office Preview for what could be a record-breaking Memorial Day, including hype for Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning and Disney’s Lilo & Stitch live-action remake.
