On this month’s We ❤️ Movies episode, we’re getting in the Spielberg mood in anticipation of Disclosure Day by chatting about one of his big sci-fi thrillers of the early-aughts, Minority Report! Was it the right move for this movie to forgo a non-stop action vibe? What did the production designers get right about our near future? Was this the last great Max von Sydow performance? Is this one of the more not-great haircuts Tom Cruise has had in a movie? Didn’t we need a few more scenes with Colin Farrell? Should that creepy guy be working in the pre-cog pool alone? And how much wood is being wasted by this machine crafting all these ornate wooden balls? PLUS: Ralph Kramden gets locked in the pre-crime jail! Minority Report stars Tom Cruise, Colin Farrell, Samantha Morton, Steve Harris, Neal McDonough, Lois Smith, Tim Blake Nelson, Arye Gross, Mike Binder, Jessica Harper, Peter Stormare, William Mapother, and Max von Sydow as Lamar Burgess; directed by Steven Spielberg. Come hang out in Vegas with us this summer as we do a three-night stand at ST:LV to celebrate 60 years of Star Trek and 10 years of The Nexus!

“This is an ‘I Got It By the Way’ situation” - Steve The 2026 Halloween Spooktacular continues this week as we’re chatting about the better-than-the-original sequel, Child’s Play 2! How hilarious is it that this toy company insists on rebuilding the cursed doll to calm their shareholders? Why do these foster parents have so much terrifying clown stuff and breakable antiques in their home? Does Chucky have the strength of a man or the strength of a cursed doll? How much funnier is this one than the first? And has our society hidden a bygone era from us, where clowns were allowed to walk around and participate in society like it was totally normal? PLUS: A long jag on those gross airplane bottles of Fireball! Child’s Play 2 stars Alex Vincent, Jenny Agutter, Gerrit Graham, Christine Elise, Grace Zabriskie, Peter Haskell, Beth Grant, Greg Germann, and Brad Dourif as the voice of Chucky; directed by John Lafia.

“Oh, they’re not doing re-shoots here…” - Andrew On this week’s episode, the 2026 Halloween Spooktacular is just getting warmed up as we break down one of our all-time slasher faves, Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives! How hilarious is this cold open with Tommy Jarvis and Horshack from Welcome Back Kotter? Is there another stunt in this franchise that comes close to the awesome RV flip in this movie? Is this the funniest Friday the 13th script? Has there been a better pop song used in these movies than Alice Cooper’s “He’s Back (The Man Behind the Mask)” that we get at the end credits here? Is that cemetery groundskeeper a fart head? And how about that sheriff’s murder, huh? PLUS: Apparently Thom Mathews and James Karen corresponded with one another long after The Return of the Living Dead kick-started their friendship! Friday the 13th VI: Jason Lives stars Thom Mathews, Jennifer Cooke, David Karen, C.J. Graham, Kerry Noonan, Renée Jones, Tom Fridley, Darcy DeMoss, Vincent Guastaferro, Tony Goldwyn, Nancy McLoughlin, Alan Blumenfeld, Matthew Faison, Ann Ryerson, Whitney Rydbeck, and the late Ron Palillo as Allen Hawes; directed by Tom McLoughlin.

On the fall premiere of On-Screen Live, we're breaking down a great number of films we caught at this year's New York Film Festival! The NYFF64 lineup is a great place to turn when clocking what good-to-great films are coming down the pike toward the end of this year, or into early next. On this episode, we're giving our thoughts on films like James Gray's masterful, '80s-set, New Yawk crime drama, Paper Tiger; the documentary that's rocking the film world and beyond, a jarring non-fiction title that is meeting the moment, NAZA; Werner Herzog's funny, sweet, oddball return to narrative filmmaking, the excellently-titled, Bucking Fastard; William Greaves and David Greaves's miracle of documentary cinema, the absolutely stunning Once Upon a Time in Harlem; Andor's Tony Gilroy's return to the director's chair after 14 years, the wild Pedro Pascal classical cellist drama, Behemoth!; and much, much more! On-Screen Live is our industry business and current release show where we chat about box office, react to new trailers, and review recent film and television that we catch!
