Wicker: A Real Basket Case, Am I Right?
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Wicker (2026) Eleanor Wilson, Alex Huston Fischer The weekend of new releases continues! Morgan’s been unavailable for most of the weekend due to clinicals, but she was free tonight, so we had to go see a movie. We decided to check out Wicker—because I had “checked out” everything else myself already—and I was surprised by the entire experience. I was expecting an odd, raunchy romantic-comedy, and…

Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma: Jane Schoenbrun Likes to Make My Brain Hurt
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (2026) Jane Schoenbrun If I had a nickel for every 2026 summer movie that used an AC vent as a storytelling device, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird (nay, absolutely bonkers) that it happened twice. Given my disappointment with I Saw the TV Glow when I saw it in 2024, my expectations for Jane Schoenbrun’s next…

One Night Only: The Gluck Hasn’t Run Out
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. One Night Only (2026) Will Gluck My first day of school is in a week, so tonight’s viewing of One Night Only will probably be my last press screening for a while, unfortunately. I’ve really enjoyed them, even if they’ve necessitated hour-long drives to Dallas and tons of money spent on tolls so I don’t get there late. I wasn’t planning on seeing One Night Only when I first saw…

Hadestown: The Musical: To Love is To Turn Around and Go Watch This Again
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Hadestown: The Musical (2026) Brett Sullivan What a month to be Greek at the movie theater! Morgan and I have seen ProShots of popular musicals in theaters a few times—Hamilton and Merrily We Roll Along, at least—and it has become one of my favorite things to do. I love seeing new (or new to me) musicals, and it’s reassuring that the ones getting theatrically released ProShots are going…

Mile End Kicks: Almost Almost Famous
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Mile End Kicks (2026) Chandler Levack Morgan went to San Antonio on Friday and is going to be gone for the next ten days, so you know what that means: I’m going to the theater five times this week, and no one can stop me! First up was my first of two trips to the AMC in Grapevine (tomorrow I’ll be there to see Speed Racer in IMAX)…

The Drama: In Defense of Not Sharing
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. The Drama (2026) Kristoffer Borgli I will be amending this error as soon as I can, but we got to the theater late tonight and missed the first minute or two of this movie. It seemed to be mostly unimportant—there wasn’t anything later in the movie that I felt like I couldn’t explain—but I’ll still use my Regal Unlimited pass to go see the opening minutes.…

Wuthering Heights: Steamy, Surreal, and A Bit Short of “Heights”
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Wuthering Heights (2026) Emerald Fennell Pardon the wordplay, but my Valentine’s Day Weekend is about to be a movie. Starting tonight, I’m seeing a 2026 release every day of this weekend through Monday, and Wuthering Heights had the distinct honor of going first. Liz and Gabe joined us for this one—we’ve earned quite the reputation for roping them into weird movies—and while I certainly enjoyed Wuthering Heights, it sounded…

Song Sung Blue: Good Times, Hard Times, and Songs That Stick
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Song Sung Blue (2025) Craig Brewer Just kidding about the “last theater visit of 2025” thing from before! With an abundance of time in Kansas City before the Roos basketball game this evening, half of our group ventured to Screenland in Kansas City (by the way, one of the coolest theaters I’ve ever been to, and with a great chicken bacon grilled cheese to boot!) to…
