Show Notes
Director Na Hong-Jin (“The Wailing,” “The Chaser”) is back! His new film, “Hope,” premieres in theaters around the US this week, and it is one of the wildest films of 2026. High-speed car chases, massive firefights, irreverent comedy, and monster movie scares all combine in this one-of-a-kind feature, but do they all work together?
In our Hope Review, we take off the guardrails and go deep into what makes this movie work and what works against it. So, beware of spoilers if you haven’t seen the film. And if you have seen Hope, please be sure to drop your thoughts in the comments.
Thanks for listening!

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.
Have a seat. It’s time to talk about a movie that took social media by storm as soon as its trailer dropped.
