GOAT: Steph Curry 4, LeBron James 1
GOAT (2026) Tyree Dillihay Day 2 of the Valentine’s Day Weekend Theater Crawl has come and gone, and GOAT was second on the docket. I’d actually become more and more excited about this one since it was announced last year. At that point, it seemed gimmicky and simple, but my tune changed once I turned my brain back on and remembered that Sony’s has been on fire lately. With their stellar, experimental…

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…

Disneyland Handcrafted: Can I Get a Season Pass for a Documentary?
Disneyland Handcrafted (2026) Leslie Iwerks I know I’ve lambasted my recent documentary binging in preparation for the Oscars, so it doesn’t make sense that I’d willingly subject myself to yet another documentary, but when it’s about Disney, I’m all Mickey Mouse ears. The allure of colorized 50s footage of Disneyland was enough to get me to sit down for Disneyland Handcrafted two and a half hours before Super Bowl LX, and while…

The Voice of Hind Rajab: Art Depicts Life
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. The Voice of Hind Rajab (2025) Kaouther Ben Hania Coming out of the theater today, it didn’t feel right to write a review of The Voice of Hind Rajab. I didn’t want my thoughts on trivial things like the performances or the cinematography to distract from the real-life horrors depicted in this movie. After sitting with my feelings on the drive home (from the Angelika in…

Iron Lung: The YouTuber-to-Filmmaker Pipeline is Safe
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Iron Lung (2026) Mark Fischbach Over the last week, I’ve become unexpectedly interested in the directorial debut of one Markiplier, reading articles and watching interviews and even his Let’s Plays of Iron Lung from a few years ago. I think the idea of a YouTuber jumping into filmmaking appeals to me, especially when Mark Fischbach is doing just about everything to get this movie to the country, from…

Send Help: Raimi and McAdams Thriving on Survival
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Send Help (2026) Sam Raimi As I’ve become a bigger cinephile over the last few years, I’ve had a couple instances where I accidentally start an actor or director’s filmography in a really unconventional place. That’s what’s happened with Sam Raimi and Send Help today. I haven’t seen any of the original Spider-Man trilogy (I’m so sorry), nor have I seen any of the Evil Dead movies, so Send Help became the first Sam…

Mercy: Maddox, Get Chris Pratt Out of That Chair
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Mercy (2026) Timur Bekmambetov While barely hanging on by a thread as my snow prison sentence has been extended by another day (school was canceled for tomorrow yet again), I finally got back on the road and—naturally—went straight to the theater. Mercy was on the docket today, and by the looks of the trailers, it was going to be as “January movie” as possible. I was a little…

Little Gold Man Watch — My 2026 Oscars Nomination Predictions
With nominations for the 2026 Academy Awards being announced this Thursday, I wanted to preempt them by a few days and get my predictions out to the world. I’m not clairvoyant or anything, but wouldn’t it be cool if a bunch of my predictions—heck, maybe even all of them—were right? Honestly, there are a few categories where I think my guesses wouldn’t be terribly educated, so rather than submitting to…
