The Year Starts with a Side Eye

Here’s a funny, engaging, but tight podcast summary that fits this episode’s energy:It’s the first episode of 2026, and Charles Kirkland Jr. is already choosing chaos in the name of cinema. He breaks down the year ahead, the movies we should be excited for, and why Sinners getting snubbed at the Golden Globes is less a mystery and more a full blown injustice. Expect a passionate rant, a quick box office flex (Avatar stays winning), and some real talk about who awards season is actually built for.Plus, Charles reviews Dead Man’s Wire, reminding us that January movies can still hit—and that sometimes the real horror is capitalism. It’s movie news, movie love, and movie side-eyes, all served straight—no chaser.
