🎬 Moviewallas Episode 576 – Him, After the Hunt & One Battle After Another 🎬

Moviewallas is on YouTube!

Join hosts Joe, Rashmi, and Yazdi as we dive into three of the buzziest new releases:

• Him – A horror-adjacent sports thriller backed by Jordan Peele, starring Marlon Wayans and Tyreek Withers. Stylish visuals, bold ideas… but does the messy script hold it back?

• After the Hunt – Luca Guadagnino returns with Julia Roberts, Andrew Garfield, and Ayo Edebiri in a tense academic drama full of moral gray areas, power dynamics, and award-worthy performances.

• One Battle After Another – Paul Thomas Anderson teams up with Leonardo DiCaprio for the first time in a high-octane, black-comedy-tinged action epic. Is it a modern masterpiece or just a wild ride?

Plus, our weekly streaming picks:

• Swiped (Hulu) – Lily James as the force behind Tinder & Bumble.

• Relay – A Riz Ahmed/Lily James thriller you may have missed in theaters.

• The Lakota Daughters (YouTube) – A powerful documentary spotlighting Native American women and girls.

• Quentin Blake: The Drawing of My Life (BBC/YouTube) – A moving look at the legendary illustrator.

Whether you’re looking for sharp reviews, streaming recommendations, or passionate debates about what works (and what doesn’t), Moviewallas has you covered.

🎬 Moviewallas: Ne Zha 2 & Spike Lee’s “High and Low” | Movie Reviews & Streaming Picks!

In this episode of Moviewallas, hosts Joe, Rashmi, and Yazdi dive deep into two very different cinematic experiences.

First, the trio unpacks the dazzling and chaotic whirlwind that is Nezha 2, China’s record-breaking animated epic. Was it a visual masterpiece or an overwhelming mythological journey for Western audiences? We debate whether subtitles—or a crash course in Chinese lore—might have helped guide the ride through this cultural spectacular.

Next, the podcast shifts gears to the gritty streets of New York with Spike Lee’s modern reinterpretation of “High and Low,” starring Denzel Washington and Jeffrey Wright. The gang is unanimous: this one’s a must-watch. From its slick cinematography and old-school thriller vibes to powerful performances and cultural commentary, Spike and Denzel have done it again.

🎥 Plus, our weekly streaming corner is back! Don’t miss:
– “Kneecap” – a Belfast-set dramedy with heart and humor, now on Netflix
– “Grave of the Fireflies” – the Studio Ghibli classic that will leave you emotionally shattered (also on Netflix)
– “Alien: Covenant” – Joe makes the case for giving this misunderstood sci-fi sequel another shot (now on HBO Max)

Listen to find out:
✨ Which movie left Joe feeling lost in a mythological maze
✨ Why Alien: Covenant might just be better than you remember
✨ And whether Denzel could be up for yet another Oscar…

New episodes coming soon as fall festival season heats up (Venice, Toronto, NY – here we come!). Don’t forget to subscribe and review!
