Show Notes
Brat Summer may be over, but Charli XCX is just getting started! This weekend, her new film, The Moment, from A24 and director Aidan Zamiri, releases in theaters around the country. In this movie, Charli XCX plays a version of herself in a fictional take on what could have happened following the meteoric rise of her album, brat, as she provides a personal take on the perils of fame and the music industry overall.
In our spoiler-free The Moment review, we discuss how Charli fared as a first-time film actor and whether this is your run-of-the-mill pop star movie or something altogether different.
We’ve got a ton to discuss, and we hope you join in by dropping your thoughts in our Discord server or one of our social media pages!

Since the rise of superhero films in the 2000s and 2010s, we’ve gotten a lot of different types of superhero movies. We’ve even gotten supervillain movies. But we’ve never had a supervillain horror movie like this one.
Some are calling it a masterpiece while others call it a disaster. Either way, what happened with Digger is a debacle worthy of unpacking.
You Can See Everything, the new documentary from Nathan Fielder, Lance Oppenheim, and A24, is unlike anything we’ve ever SEEN (get it?). So, it calls for an episode that is a little different than we’ve ever done.
It’s not an overstatement to say The Social Network is one of the great movies of the 21st century. Not only was it an extremely well-made film thanks to the combined genius of David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin but it also has become more relevant with time as all the great films do.
If you grew up in the 90s like us, chances are you walked by “Tremors” in Blockbuster or Family Video on more than one occasion. The cult classic creature feature starring Kevin Bacon was a 90s cable mainstay and still somehow, none of us had ever seen it.
