This week on What The Hell Should I Watch?, Chloe and I dive into a packed lineup of movies hitting theaters, festivals, and streaming. I spent most of the long weekend in cinemas, gearing up for this year’s Vancouver International Film Festival, and weāve got plenty to break down for you.

Then I get into one of my more anticipated films, Darren Aronofskyās Caught Stealing with Austin Butler, Zoe Kravitz, Regina King, and Bad Bunny. From there, things get messy (in the best way) with the wild new Toxic Avenger reboot and the Canadian creature feature Scared Shitless.
On the streaming pile, we cover Vanessa Kirby in Night Always Comes, the animated misfire Fixed from Genndy Tartakovsky, and much more. Chloe also shares her hot take on War of the Worlds (yes, the Ice Cube one) and, finally, gives her thoughts on Bring Her Back, another common Australian horror film W.

This week on What the Hell Should I Watch? Iām flying solo, but Iāve got a stacked lineup of movies and streaming picks to dig into.
I kick things off with Baby Assassins 3: Nice Days, the latest entry in the quirky Japanese action-comedy series. Then I dive into Sorry Baby ā a powerful debut from Eva Victor that I truly believe is one of the best films of 2025 so far.
I also cover David Cronenbergās The Shrouds, a deeply strange yet beautiful meditation on grief, technology, and body horror, starring Vincent Cassel and Diane Kruger.
On the streaming front, I check out Eeny Meeny with Samara Weaving, a fast-paced heist film packed with sharp action and fun performances, now streaming on Disney+. Unfortunately, things dip with Amazonās The Pickup, pairing Eddie Murphy and Pete Davidson in a dud that wastes its cast and runtime.
For physical media collectors, I highlight some great new releases, including The Conjuring on 4K, the live-action Lilo & Stitch remake in steelbook, Karate Kid Legends, and Locked with Bill SkarsgƄrd and Anthony Hopkins.
And as always, I tease whatās coming next week ā from Darren Aronofskyās Caught Stealing with Austin Butler, to The Toxic Avenger, to Chloeās scathing take on War of the Worlds.

This week on What the Hell Should I Watch? Iām diving into some big new releases and hidden gems you need to know about. First up, Bob Odenkirk returns in Nobody 2, the sequel to the surprise action hit that mixes everyday suburban dad life with brutal assassin mayhem. I break down what works, what doesnāt, and why Connie Nielsen might actually steal the movie.
I also take a look at My Motherās Wedding, the directorial debut from Kristin Scott Thomas, starring Scarlett Johansson, Sienna Miller, and Emily Beecham. With family drama, layered performances, and some surprising connections, itās one that deserves attentionāeven if it doesnāt quite land the emotional punch itās aiming for.
On the streaming side, I cover Disney+ās The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox, exploring how the real-life story stacks up against this dramatized miniseries. Plus, I share some new additions to my physical media library, including The Long Kiss Goodnight, Anthony Bourdain: A Cookās Tour, Generation Kill, and even the classic Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.
And Chloe joins me with her review of Jurassic World: Rebirth, where dinosaurs, chaos, and plenty of nostalgia take center stage.
If you love movies, streaming series, action, indie gems, and the occasional deep cut from my Blu-ray shelf, this episode is packed with recommendations you wonāt want to miss.

This week on What the Hell Should I Watch?, Iām diving into a stacked lineup of films and series that had me hooked from start to finish. First up, I break down Zach Creggerās Weapons ā a tense, perspective-shifting horror with Josh Brolin, Julia Garner, and Amy Madigan that proves Cregger is more than a one-hit Barbarian wonder. Then itās onto Disneyās 22-years-later sequel Freakier Friday, reuniting Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan, plus an unexpectedly heartfelt indie gem, East of Wall, set in the South Dakota Badlands. I also swing into high-flying martial arts with the gorgeous Chinese wushu epic Invincible Swordsman.
On the streaming side, I finally get to talk about Alien: Earth on Disney+ ā Noah Hawleyās gripping new Alien series packed with xenomorphs, strange new creatures, and Timothy Olyphant in full genre mode.
Chloe joins me to rave about Warfare, a gritty, emotional Iraq War drama starring Joseph Quinn and Cosmo Jarvis that doesnāt hold back on intensity. Plus, we tease whatās coming next week ā from How to Train Your Dragon live action to Jurassic World Rebirth, The Girl with the Needle, and cult classic Punishment Park.

Chloe is back with me this week, and weāve got a stacked show full of wild picks, passionate takes, and a whole lot of nerdy breakdowns.
š This week, I dive into DreamWorksā The Bad Guys 2 ā does this sequel live up to the animated original or is it just keeping the IP alive while we wait for Shrek 5? Chloe and I also break down The Naked Gun reboot with Liam Neeson ā and yes, itās actually funny. Spoof might finally be making a comeback!

Hey everyone, Steve Stebbing here ā Chloeās off this week, but Iāve got a packed lineup for you on What The Hell Should I Watch?
This week: āØ Marvel kicks off Phase 6 with Fantastic Four: First Steps ā Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby & Joseph Quinn lead a 1960s-inspired reboot that finally gets the team right (Galactus is no longer a fart cloud!). š¬ One of my top 5 films of the year so far: Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore, a powerful doc directed by Shoshana Stern that shines a light on triumph, abuse, and resilience. ā³ Netflix swings big with Happy Gilmore 2 ā Sandler, Shooter McGavin, Bad Bunny & MJF (!!) make for a nostalgic, ridiculous, and surprisingly fun sequel. š· On Crave: Soundtrack to a Coup dāĆtat, a wild and sobering jazz-meets-Cold-War doc that blends music, politics, and CIA chaos. š¾ Plus, Disney+ drops Eyes of Wakanda, a sleek but slight animated Marvel spinoff.
And in physical media this week: Thunderbolts on 4K, Wes Andersonās The Phoenician Scheme, Criterionās All We Imagine As Light, and some vintage gems like EdTV and Bakshiās animated Lord of the Rings.

Hey everyone, Iām Steve Stebbing and this week on What the Hell Should I Watch?, Chloe and I are diving deep into a big stack of fresh releases and streaming picks ā some worth your time, othersā¦ not so much.
First up: the reboot of I Know What You Did Last Summer ā and yes, I boldly call this one a flaming trash fire with a side of legacy-bait. Then, I wax poetic about Eddington, Ari Asterās hauntingly human pandemic-era political western (my #1 film of the year so far). Also on the docket: the hilarious and awkward rom-com Oh Hi!, the ghost-fu action flick Ghost Killer, and Nacho Vigalondoās genre-bending Daniela Forever. Chloe also goes in hard on M3GAN 2.0 (spoiler: itās a disaster).
PLUS: Blu-ray releases, horror podcast cameos, 4K collector rants, and shoutouts to the ghosts of Wells Fargo past. If you’re looking for reviews with heart, humor, and a side of venom, youāre in the right place.

Hey everyone, itās Steve Stebbing hereāand welcome back to What the Hell Should I Watch?, your weekly dose of what Iāve been watching, what Chloeās been watching (she’s back this week!), and what you should probably be watching too.
This week, weāve got a killer lineup of reviewsāsome buzzy, some gnarly, and a couple of deep Canadian gems you might not even know about. Hereās what we cover:
š„ Superman (2025) ā James Gunnās first big swing at the new DCU. David Corenswet as Clark Kent? Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane? Yes, please. Itās not perfect, but itās got color, heart, and hope, which is exactly what Iāve been missing in superhero movies lately.
š§ Together ā This oneās wild. A wild body horror starring Dave Franco and Alison Brie that dives deep into relationships, trauma, and transformation. Chloe didnāt see it yet, but she willāand I canāt wait to hear her take.
š Donāt Letās Go to the Dogs Tonight ā A poignant directorial debut from Embeth Davidtz (yes, Miss Honey from Matilda) based on the memoir by Alexandra Fuller. Set during the Bush War in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), this one is powerful, raw, and full of tough truths.
š¾ 40 Acres ā A bold Canadian post-apocalyptic survival film with Danielle Deadwyler that had me glued from start to finish. It looks gorgeous and the tension? Dialled all the way in. Finally, Deadwyler is in a movie that delivers.
āļø The Oak Room ā A moody little Canadian thriller starring RJ Mitte (Breaking Bad) that feels like it was ripped straight from a stage play. Lots of monologue work, with a rich atmosphere.
š§ Sinners ā One of my favorite horror films this year. Think From Dusk Till Dawn meets post-WWII Southern Gothic. Jack OāConnell steals scenes left and right. Chloe called it āVampires the musical,ā and I stand by it.
š® Until Dawn ā Is it a good horror movie? Kinda. Is it a good adaptation of the game? Not really. Chloe and I get into the weeds about this one.
š Locked ā This Bill SkarsgĆ„rd thriller totally flew under the radar, but I really liked it. Also: it’s extremely Vancouver, which you know I love.
š I also talk about some Blu-ray pickups and upgrades:
21 Grams
Seeking a Friend for the End of the World
The Purge (yep, the first oneāstill the best)
Fatal Beauty (Whoopi Goldberg in an ā80s action flick directed by the other Tom Holland)
And of course, a nostalgic nod to Young People F*ing (aka YPF)
We also get nerdy with scores, cinematography, deep cuts, and a very Canadian sense of pride.
šļø Whether you’re prepping for VIFF 2025, hunting for weird horror, or just sick of the algorithm feeding you the same old stuffāthis episode’s got something for you.
