Movie Mayhem: Big Swings & Bigger Debates (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week on After the Frame, the three of us are getting into the kind of movie conversation that starts with one opinion and somehow turns into an argument about four completely different films. From the ambition of Sinners and the blockbuster spectacle of Mission: Impossible: The Final Reckoning to Jurassic World Rebirth and Superman, we trade takes on what worked, what fell short, and which movies actually delivered on the hype. There are disagreements, unexpected defenses, a few questionabl
Insidious, Finding Emily & Fixing the Movies (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week on After the Frame, we’ve got two very different reviews before zooming out for a bigger conversation about the state of movies themselves. We start with Insidious: Out of the Further, a return to a horror franchise that may finally be running out of places to go.

Read excerpt
This week on After the Frame , we start with The End of Oak Street , a throwback summer adventure built on dinosaurs, old-school escapism, and strong technical craft. We break down the Amblin-style energy, the performances, the brisk pacing, and why the movie works as a fun popcorn thriller, even if it never quite captures the soul of the classics it’s chasing. From there, we widen the conversation to one of the most frustrating things in movies: when the idea is way better than the final produc
A Brand New Day & A Casting Nightmare (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week on After the Frame , we swing into the next chapter of Tom Holland’s Spider-Man before stepping directly into one of the most dangerous debates in comic-book movie history. We begin with our review of Spider-Man: Brand New Day , a grounded, street-level reset that gives Peter Parker’s emotional journey room to breathe. We break down the fresh direction, striking comic-book style, carefully timed humor, and how the movie builds on the consequences of No Way Home without feeling trapped
