Night Shyamalan): a gripping story of grief, a mysterious woman at an abandoned B&B, and a haunted quest for truth. Greg praises the emotional depth and supernatural build-up but calls out a weak, unsatisfying ending that undercuts the momentum.

Greg delivers a raw, unfiltered take on Five Nights at Freddy's 2, praising Josh Hutcherson and the film’s darker tone while exploring the siblings’ trauma and deeper series lore. He breaks down the vengeful spirit, the climactic animatronic showdown, and the open-ended conclusion that leaves room for a third installment.

A lively review of Something Rotten at a local dinner theater where Greg shares his experience volunteering, watching the show multiple times, and enjoying dinner. He breaks down the hilarious, historically inaccurate story about the Bottom brothers trying to outdo Shakespeare by creating a musical called "Omelette," highlights standout songs and performances, and praises the welcoming cast. Greg also teases an upcoming Mary Poppins review and encourages listeners to subscribe and join the chaos.

Host Greg celebrates the podcast's one-year anniversary and announces the show will move to two episodes a week, releasing on Mondays and Fridays.

Greg delivers a raw, spoiler-filled review of Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros, covering the war college setting, Violet Sorrengail’s forced rise in the Rider quadrant, her dangerous bond with dragons, and the fierce, complicated relationships with marked riders like Xaden and Liam. He praises the series’ high-stakes action, emotional punches, and steamy moments, recommends the books to fantasy fans, and promises more reviews as he continues the series.

Greg tears into Zootopia 2, explaining why the sequel fails to live up to the original: flattened characters, a predictable villain, and wasted potential despite a few decent action beats and one touching moment between Judy and Nick. He calls the film a major disappointment, hopes for a stronger third installment, and invites listeners to subscribe and share their thoughts on the mess.

Greg tears into the remake of The Running Man, praising Glenn Powell and calling it a tense, violent dystopian thriller about a media-run government and a desperate father fighting to save his sick daughter.

Greg breaks down Now You See Me 3, a globe-trotting addition to the franchise that reunites the original magicians with three new recruits to stop a dangerous crime syndicate and recover a powerful diamond. The episode covers the film’s twists, character dynamics, shocking returns, and a heartbreaking loss, while praising its clever illusions and entertainment value for fans of magic and heist movies.

Greg reviews the movie Regretting You, calling it a powerful romantic coming-of-age drama that becomes a study in grief, betrayal, and family.

Drawing on personal experience with loss, Greg highlights the film's honest portrayal of shame, guilt, and healing, and the importance of leaning on loved ones through grief.

Greg breaks down Shelby Oaks, praising its eerie marketing and spine-tingling true-crime setup about a missing sister and found footage tapes. He’s ultimately disappointed by the film’s late turn into culty, satanic tropes and an unsatisfying climax, recommending it only for a few good scares or as background noise.

Greg reviews the eighth and final book, Tower of Gold, where Rapunzel is cast as a conflicted antagonist allied with Rumpelstiltskin and King Midas. Finn, a desperate thief, tries to pull her back toward love and family as the dream world war escalates. As kingdoms unite against the Evil Queen’s nightmare invasion, fierce battles, heartbreaking sacrifices, and unexpected redemption lead to a bittersweet, hopeful ending.

Greg reviews Black Phone 2, a haunting sequel that shifts the focus to Gwen's prophetic dreams and explores Finn and his family’s traumatic past.
