It's pretty self-explanatory. But if you want some more detail: It's like a movie magazine/diary you listen to instead of read. Come sit with me, Daniel Berrios, and let's talk film. It's always a good time.Twitter: @TheMovies_Pod

288. Interview | JUST PLAY DEAD Director Martin Campbell (opens the original)
Read excerpt
JUST PLAY DEAD marks a different sort of challenge for Martin Campbell. The director, best known for GOLDENEYE, CASINO ROYALE and THE MASK OF ZORRO, is used to staging rough-and-tumble fights, car chases, fiery explosions. But JUST PLAY DEAD posits its tension around a couple whose marriage gasps its last breath in service of a wicked game of wits. In JUST PLAY DEAD, Samuel L. Jackson plays Nick Wolfe, a career criminal whose empire looks to crumble as the feds will indict him for financial frau
287. Fantasia 2026: Interview | SUNSPARK Director Danny Bourque (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Danny Bourque is the one-man-band behind SUNSPARK, a new animated short playing at this year's Fantasia International Film Festival.

It's then up to the awkward 30-something Gino (Marc BenDavid) to muster up some cojones and save not only his family, but his ex-girlfr

284. SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY (2026) dir. Destin Daniel Cretton (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It's been 281 episodes since the last live-action Spider-Man review. I'm old. SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, the first of the MCU movies not to be helmed by Jon Watts. With this new change comes a new vantage point. Instead of this movie dropping Spider-Man (Tom Holland) into the wider MCU universe and its ramifications, this film gives the Webhead more of a chance to shine on his own. Some of this is by design: NO WAY HOME ended with Doctor Strange (Benedict Cum
