Welcome back to What the Hell Should I Watch?, where I sort through the week’s new releases, streaming titles, and TV so you don’t have to gamble your time on trailers and algorithms.
This week’s episode is packed with genre chaos — horror experiments, action throwbacks, and the long-awaited return of one of Marvel’s best series. I get into what works, what doesn’t, and what’s actually worth your attention right now.
🎬 Fresh For Your Eyeballs
I kick things off with a slate of new theatrical releases that swing big, sometimes wildly — and this week Chloe joins me on a couple of them:
- Send Help – Sam Raimi returns to horror-comedy with Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien in a survival thriller that leans into slapstick, tension, and Raimi’s signature chaos. Chloe and I talk about the physical comedy, the brutal set pieces, and why this might be one of the most fun surprises of the season.
- Shelter – Jason Statham steps back into lone-wolf protector mode in a straight-ahead action thriller that feels familiar but still delivers on mood and momentum. I get into why this works even when it sticks close to formula.
- Iron Lung – Markiplier makes his feature debut with an ambitious cosmic horror film set inside a submarine traveling through a blood ocean. I dig into the massive practical effects, the extreme commitment to atmosphere, and why this has become one of the most interesting horror stories of the year.
- Whistle – A cursed Aztec death whistle triggers a wave of Final Destination-style doom. Chloe and I break down the creative kills and why the story and characters struggle to keep up with the concept.
📀 New To The Library
This week’s physical media additions go deep into film history:
- A Prophet (2009) – Jacques Audiard’s modern crime classic finally joins the shelf, and I talk about why it still hits as one of the most powerful prison films ever made.
- House on Haunted Hill (1959) – William Castle and Vincent Price come back into the conversation, but this one’s a revisit after we already dug into it on Tremble, episode 345, making it more of a shelf upgrade than a fresh discovery.
📺 Streaming Picks
On the streaming side, I catch up with:
- The Wrecking Crew (Prime Video) – Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista team up in a throwback action comedy that leans hard into movie-star energy and brawling fun.
- The Wheel of Time (Prime Video) – I finally check in on Amazon’s fantasy series and talk about Rosamund Pike, the darker tone, and how the show has evolved.
- Harley Quinn (Netflix) – Season 5 takes the gang to Metropolis and somehow gets even sharper, funnier, and more emotionally grounded.
🦸 Final Thoughts
I wrap things up with Daredevil: Born Again (Disney+), the long-awaited return of Marvel’s grittiest hero. I break down why the revival works, how it honors the original series, and why the collision between Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk still packs a punch.
If you’re trying to figure out what’s actually worth watching in theatres, on streaming, or on your own shelves, this episode is about separating curiosity from commitment and helping you make smarter choices with your time.
