Some movies don’t just fly under the radar, they’re misread entirely. In this episode of 25 Cent Film, McNeill and Justin are joined by guest John Thomas to unpack some of the most underrated and misunderstood films of the 21st century. These are the movies that critics dismissed, audiences misinterpreted, or that simply asked too much of casual viewers. From bold artistic swings to complex narratives that reward deeper reflection, we dig into why these films deserve a second look and what they were really trying to say all along.
