🎙️ Episode Recorded: August 31, 2025
After an unexpected hiatus, Jeff and Ron are back with a packed episode full of reviews, reactions, and industry chatter!
🦸‍♂️ Ron kicks things off with a spoiler-free review of James Gunn’s Superman, Disney’s live-action Lilo & Stitch, and Zach Cregger’s new horror film Weapons.
🔪 Jeff dives into Ed Gein and Werewolves—both streaming on Amazon Prime—describing Werewolves as “The Purge with werewolves.” He also shares his thoughts on Netflix’s hit series Wednesday, plus a few surprising notes on the Alien: Earth series, which Ron admits isn’t quite what he expected, but still worth a watch.
🎬 In movie news, Lilo & Stitch becomes 2025’s first film to cross the $1 billion global box office mark on a modest $100M budget. Unsurprisingly, Disney has already greenlit a sequel.
🌌 The hosts weigh in on the rumored second season of The Acolyte. Despite mixed-to-negative fan reactions to Season 1, whispers suggest Season 2 is already in early development.
👻 As spooky season approaches, the guys break down the upcoming 2025 lineup for Shudder’s “Season of Screams,” building the hype for Halloween.
🎞️ Wrapping things up, Jeff and Ron react to the newly dropped trailer for IFC/Shudder’s upcoming horror flick Good Boy.
