Episodes
The theme of this episode? Torture! Lily and Aidan do the Lord’s work in recounting two movies that are both psychologically taxing to watch, albeit in different ways: Descendants: Wicked Wonderland (2026) and Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom (1975).

Aidan and Lily enlist the help of their good friend and comic book media enthusiast Luiz Campos to unpack Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026): its massive debut, the future of the MCU, and the enduring appeal of suicidal Peter Parker. Also on the docket is another superhero movie that has the exact opposite of enduring appeal, Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987).

Lily’s in a bad mood this episode… but that’s not stopping Aidan from forcing her to discuss The Odyssey (2026). Then, the tables turn as Lily gets to gush over *another* movie about an epic journey, which she claims is superior: Trolls: Band Together (2026).

BREAKING NEWS: Illumination Animation released a movie that *isn’t* focus-tested slop? Aidan and Lily dive into whether the hype around Minions & Monsters (2026) is deserved, then look back to one of the many silent-era classics it pays homage to: Charlie Chaplin’s The Great Dictator (1940).

Because neither Aidan nor Lily felt like watching Toy Story 5 (2026), they instead discuss the latest horror movie to hit theaters, Gay It Follows— sorry, I mean Leviticus (2026). Also on the docket is *another* indie movie that deals with teen angst and features the music of Frank Ocean: the lushly shot, psychotically-soundtracked Waves (2019).

Old wounds are reopened and new ones are formed as Aidan and Lily trade blows in heated debates over Backrooms (2026) and Annette (2021). Max contributes a bit in this episode, too — whoopee!

Things kick off with a recap of the glorious box office triumph of Backrooms (2026) over the Great Satan a.k.a. Walt Disney Studios. After that, Aidan & Lily cater to both sides of the aisle with a back-to-back discussion of Boots Riley’s wacky leftist romp I Love Boosters (2026) and conservative “movie” Sound of Freedom (2023).

Lily and Aidan unpack their thoughts on actor Timothée Chalamet: his career, his public image, and the Mulholland Drive-esque psychosis he has unknowingly inflicted on one of the hosts. (You’ll never guess which one.) Then, they chat about cult classic Frankenhooker (1990) and recent hit Obsession (2026), two horror movies that both dare to ask: “What if men controlling women’s bodies is… wait for it&hellip...
For their inaugural episode, Aidan and Lily briefly introduce themselves before discussing two equally harrowing films that explore communal trauma and mankind’s capacity for cruelty: Come and See (1985) and The Sheep Detectives (2026).
