Uncertain Age

Welcome to Uncertain Age! This week, AR (Anna) Nicholas and Dale Basye blend baseball with brutality for Caught Stealing—Darren Aronofsky’s 2025 crime-comedy thriller starring Austin Butler as Hank Thompson, a washed-up baseball phenom turned bartender who just agreed to cat-sit for a neighbor and suddenly finds himself neck-deep in New York’s criminal underworld. Is Caught Stealing a darkly playful caper that knocks it out of the park, or a chaotic misplay that leaves you crying foul? Find out on Uncertain Age!

Welcome to Uncertain Age! This week, AR (Anna) Nicholas and Dale Basye dust off their badges and questionable one-liners for The Naked Gun: Rebooted—the slapstick comeback nobody asked for but everyone secretly needed. Starring Liam Neeson as the world’s most serious man in the world’s least serious movie, this reboot promises bullets, belly laughs, and—thankfully—less OJ. Will it recapture the chaotic genius of the original, or crash harder than slipping on a banana peel in slow motion? Find out on Uncertain Age! And if there’s a movie, show, or podcast you’d like us to investigate (preferably before it self-destructs), let us know at [email protected]!

Welcome to Uncertain Age! This week, AR (Anna) Nicholas and Dale Basye go off half cocked as they take aim at The Last Rifleman: the 2023 drama starring Pierce Brosnan as a World War II veteran who escapes his care home to make a pilgrimage to Normandy on D-Day’s anniversary. Is The Last Rifleman a moving salute to memory, courage, and reconciliation, or does it march too heavily on well-trodden ground? Find out on Uncertain Age!

Welcome to Uncertain Age! This week, AR (Anna) Nicholas and Dale Basye get glitter absolutely EVERYWHERE as they spotlight The Last Showgirl: the 2025 drama starring Pamela Anderson as a veteran Vegas performer facing the end of her revue and the question of what comes after the spotlight dims. Is The Last Showgirl a dazzling late-career turn with unexpected depth, or just a farewell number that can’t quite stick the landing? Find out on Uncertain Age!

Welcome to Uncertain Age! This week, AR (Anna) Nicholas and Dale Basye tee up Stick: Apple TV+’s new drama starring Owen Wilson as a washed-up golfer trying to find his swing—and maybe himself—after life in the spotlight fades. Is Stick a hole-in-one redemption story, or just another tired round stuck in the rough? Find out on Uncertain Age!

Welcome to Uncertain Age! This week, AR (Anna) Nicholas and Dale Basye get clearance to check into The Residence: Netflix’s 2024 whodunnit set in the White House, starring Uzo Aduba as the steely investigator called in after a state dinner goes fatally sideways. Is this twisty mix of politics and parlor mystery a fresh take on the murder-mansion formula, or does it get lost wandering the halls of its own political setup? Find out on Uncertain Age!

Welcome to Uncertain Age! This week, AR (Anna) Nicholas and Dale Basye plunge into the shadowy corridors of political paranoia with Zero Day—Netflix’s tense thriller starring Robert De Niro as a former U.S. president pulled back into the spotlight amid a national cyber crisis. Is Zero Day a sharp, timely warning about trust, power, and misinformation—or does it pale in comparison to what is ACTUALLY going on now in our reality TV government? Find out on Uncertain Age!

Welcome to Uncertain Age! This week, AR (Anna) Nicholas and Dale Basye step into the absurdly glamorous (and gloriously dysfunctional) world of prestige filmmaking with Seth Rogen's The Studio—Apple TV’s satire about a Hollywood production spiraling into chaos. From inflated egos to creative compromises, is The Studio a wickedly funny look behind the curtain… or just another insider comedy lost in its own script notes? Find out on Uncertain Age!

Welcome to Uncertain Age! This week, AR (Anna) Nicholas and Dale Basye risk stranger danger to watch either The Company of Strangers or Strangers in Good Company (it’s complicated). This 1990 Canadian docufiction film features eight elderly women who find themselves stranded in the countryside when their tour bus breaks down. Is this largely improvised film a poignant look at what is revealed when you find yourself outside your comfort zone, or an aimless snooze that could have benefited from an actual script and proper actors?

Welcome to Uncertain Age! This week, AR (Anna) Nicholas and Dale Basye saddle up to watch the Apple TV+ show Slow Horses, the spy thriller following a group of disgraced MI5 agents led by their cynical and sharp-tongued boss, Jackson Lamb (played by Gary Oldman). Does the show gallop through the spy genre with dark humor and gritty drama, or is it a tired steed destined for the TV glue factory? Find out on Uncertain Age!
