We did a lot of yappin in the beginning! Some TIFF updates, Canada updates, Astrobot updates and of course voicemails!

Happy Thursday Roomies!
We hope you're having a great week!!! I feel like it's been a hot second since we discussed a more dramatic movie on the pod, so it was really fun to unpack After Yang! One of the most underappreciated A24 movies! (especially in 2022!)
After Yang or Columbus, which do you prefer?
the best A24 movies of 2022
The music of After Yang (and music in general)
Would you rather be an android or a clone
September’s House of Horrors lineup announcement has arrived, Roomies!!! Here’s the latest teaser edit for what’s to come this month!

Happy Thursday Roomies!
Continuing our House of Heroes journey into the MCU and we are finally BACK reviewing movies after reviewing 3 shows in a row.
Black Widow...did it get too much hate when it came out? It's not perfect, but we thought it was a VERY solid movie? Would people like it more if it came out in the correct order of the timeline? Are we lowkey excited for Thunderbolts? Who has the worst Russian accent? How do we feel about the intro to this movie?? How lame is Drey...

Happy Sunday to everyone!!! I wanted to give a quick update before next week starts! Nothing too crazy, but definitely an update to some upcoming events!
Game Night (Film Fan tier & above)
so as many Roomies know, we've had to postpone game night a few times because of scheduling conflicts, but also this, this damn heat. Sadly, I do NOT have central air in my apartment (you'd be surprised how rare it is in LA!) so when temps outside get ...

Has fighting animation gone TOO far? (not in Kubo specifically)
What is the most iconic Laika movie?
What instrument do you wish you could master?
A pop quiz spelling bee for Claira

Hey Roomies!
We are now entering a new era of Alien! Prometheus has been a divisive movie ever since its release... but now that it has been 12 years, how do people feel about it??
Are the engineers hot?
Is the movie TOO complicated for its own good?
Is this the scariest Alien movie yet?
Do the character's dumb decisions hurt the movie?
House of Logan Marshall Green??
Let us know what you think...

Alien month has been a blast but it is now time to choose the theme for SEPTEMBER? We are mixing it up a bit. Some new themes, some old.
Happy Voting :)

HELLO ROOMIES.
Sorry for the switch up! (Dont worry, Prometheus comes out tomorrow)
But please enjoy our almost 2 hour episode on WATCHMEN. An iconic graphic novel and a movie that was a bit polarizing when it was released!
We talked about a lot of things:
THAT big difference at the end, does it work? Which do you prefer?
Our favorite scenes (the birth of Dr. Manhattan!!!)
The VERY long road to making this movie

Roomies, WE'VE BEEN TRAPPED.
We had so much fun breaking down M. Night Shyamalan's latest and things like:
Are we in the Josh Hartnettaissance?
Will the M. Night Shyamalan discourse ever end?
Where does Trap stack up in his filmography?
Does Lady Raven actually have some bangers?
Be sure to let us know your thoughts and answer the Q&A that will be up on the Instagram page so we can read them in the next ep!

Happy Monday Roomies!
It's so good to be back from my travels, minus the fact that its 95-98 degrees every day... is everyone else going through an insane heat wave??
Anyways, we did a fun movie news recap including:
the biggest movies coming out in 2026 (SuperGirl, Masters of the Universe, Shrek 5)
is The Rock still a huge draw for people?
the Trap CinemaScore
the future of Evil Dead
and we also answered...

Well Roomies, not all A24 movies can be bangers... lol
I will say, even though Cut Bank wasnt very good, this might be one of our funniest episodes in a minute. ALSO, if you think Cut Bank is a pointless watch (to which we understand) it is interesting considering this is Matt Shakman's FIRST movie...his second? Fantastic Four: First Steps!
Things we talked about:
Recapped the movie for those who didnt get a chance to watch
Liam Hemsworth...good actor...

HELLO ROOMIES!!!
Alien: Resurrection marks the final movie in the ORIGINAL 4 films and its another entry with a very interesting director!
But does it work?
Do you like the Newborn Alien?
How do we feel about the twist?? Were you tricked?
Out of the 4 original Alien movies, what is your ranking?
Does this movie have the best looking xenomorph?
Do you think we will ever get a sequel to THIS movie?
