Resident Evil (2026)

from Messed Up Movies Hosted by Misfit Parade

Zach Cregger's Resident Evil drops Austin Abrams into a nightmare, and we can't agree on when the laughs start getting in the way of the scares. Recording from Austin during Fantastic Fest, the Messed Up Movies crew breaks down Resident Evil (2026), from its vicious opening and brilliantly staged jump scares to a bigger, louder finale that doesn't land equally for everyone. We get into Abrams' panicked everyman performance, Paul Walter Hauser, the chaos of Raccoon City and whether this reboot captures the feeling of playing survival horror. Plus: the difference between a resourceful survivor and a guy who suddenly has blockbuster plot armor. After Barbarian and Weapons, does Cregger's approach work inside a major franchise? And should Resident Evil make you laugh this much? FULL SPOILERS, including the ending and our most messed-up moments. Tell us where you landed: did the horror-comedy balance work, or did you want the movie to stay as tense as its opening? Subscribe to Misfit Parade for New Movie Monday reviews, Friday movie drafts and more Messed Up Movies. Our debut feature, Mr. Creamjeans' Hidey Hole, has its world premiere at Fantastic Fest on September 22 at 8 p.m. CT at Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar in Austin.

Shut Up I Love It Sasha Feiler and Joe Cabello Many years ago, Sasha Feiler and Joe Cabello met in line for an improv show. They were young, dumb, and full of it. What followed were comedy shows so explicit, “genitalia” was practically a term of endearment.Fast forward 5 dogs, 6 cats, and way too many weird inside jokes later, Sasha and Joe are no longer young or dumb—but they’re still brimming with you-know-what. Here, they’ve teamed up to bring you a podcast where they interview a guest who passionately defends something universally hated, misunderstood, forgotten, overlooked, Mandela-effected, canceled—you name it. The key? They LOVE it. From toupees... to B-movies... to aliens, psychedelics, and the occasional surprise character, Sasha and Joe are here to spread love to the world that birthed them (but maybe should’ve used protection).So come and get that love because no one else will give it to you like we do.Also, don’t forget to check out the Patreon Bonus version of the show:https://www.patreon.com/c/ShutUpILoveItP Explicit
