It’s the first What The Hell Should I Watch of the year, and I’m opening things up with a stacked slate of new releases, some wildly different genre swings, and a solid round of reminders as we look ahead to what’s coming next.
I kick things off with Marty Supreme, digging into where it lands for me and why it didn’t quite connect the way I hoped. From there, I dive into the latest reboot attempt with Anaconda, followed by the grim, heavy atmosphere of We Bury the Dead. I also spend time with The SpongeBob Movie: Search for Squarepants, breaking down how it plays for longtime fans versus newer audiences, and wrap up my reviews with The Housemaid, a thriller that gave me plenty to react to.
This week’s Butting In segment belongs to Chloe, and she tackles her homework pick Train Dreams, along with thoughts on Anniversary and the Netflix series Boots, bringing her own perspective to a very different set of titles than mine.
We also run through a few reminders worth flagging: Big Bold Beautiful Journey, The Black Phone 2, and Bugonia, all of which are inching closer and firmly on our radar.
And looking ahead to next week, we tease what’s coming up with Dead Man’s Wire, Is This Thing On, The Testament of Ann Lee, The Choral, and maybe even Primate, depending on how the release calendar shakes out.
Thanks for sticking with us through another year of movie chaos. You can catch the full episode now!
