This week Shea, Brandon, and Adriana are diving into Disclosure Day, Steven Spielberg's alien invasion film that has all three of them asking the same question: how much can one director carry a bad script? Shea squeezed it over the line into a like (barely) while Brandon went from almost loving it in the theater to wanting his money back, and Adriana found herself holding back laughs at moments meant to be profound. They dig into the film's clichéd conflict resolutions, the inexplicably incompetent bad guys, and whether Spielberg's optimism works in 2026.

Power Ballad is the latest Paul Rudd film with Nick Jonas and unfortunately, it didn't land for Brandon.

This week Shea and Brandon are diving into Backrooms, the new A24 horror film from first-time director Kane Parsons that has them landing in completely different rooms on the heart-o-meter. Chiwetel Ejiofor plays Clark with a quiet unraveling that had at least one of them fully hooked, but as the film stretches deeper into its liminal hallways, Shea and Brandon find themselves debating whether the bloat outweighs the scares or whether the film's ambiguity is actually its greatest strength. Does the lore help or hurt if you're coming in blind? And can three exceptional horror sequences carry an entire film?

Reviewing Kane Parsons directorial debut horror film BACKROOMS! Parsons also co-produced the score with Ido Van Breemen. The film was written by Will Soodik and stars Chiwetel Ejiofor as Clark, a furniture store owner, and Renate Reinsve as Clark’s therapist Mary. Mark Duplass, Finn Bennett as Bobby Roberts, and Lukita Maxwell round out the supporting cast. So is Backrooms a liminal horror masterpiece or a bit bloated? Either way, a huge creative swing from a young director we love to see!Are you more of a reader?
