Moviewallas is on YouTube! Welcome back to Moviewallas, your weekly dose of film reviews, movie news, and movie-loving banter. In Episode 581, Joe, Rashmi, and Yazdi dive into three wildly different films — a sci-fi thrill ride, a fever-dream drama, and a heartfelt dramedy about love, art, and reinvention. Predator: Badlands Dan Trachtenberg returns with a bold new entry in the Predator universe. Elle Fanning stars in dual roles in a tight, inventive actioner that mixes dread, emotion, and sharp design. The team breaks down the creative risks and big payoffs. Die My Love Director Lynne Ramsay adapts Ariana Harwicz’s intense novel with Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson. This hallucinatory descent into maternal crisis, grief, and rage pushes boundaries. A charged discussion around performance, tone, and the genre’s impact. Is This Thing On? Bradley Cooper directs this intimate New York-set dramedy starring Will Arnett and Laura Dern as a couple navigating divorce, stand-up comedy, and self-discovery. Subtle, lived-in performances anchor a film that sits between melancholy and warmth. PLUS… Ghanaian meat pies vs. samosas — what’s the best pre-podcast snack?
