Moviewallas is on YouTube!

Welcome back to Moviewallas, your weekly dose of film reviews, movie news, and general banter – in theatres, on streaming, or in the back of an airplane. This week, Joe, Rashmi, and Yazdi keep things focused with two very Anne Hathaway-heavy releases: David Lowery’s strange and ambitious Mother Mary and the long-awaited sequel The Devil Wears Prada 2.

📺 Streaming Picks – Anne Hathaway Edition

🏢 WeCrashed – Apple TV+ / Peacock
Rashmi recommends this limited series about Adam and Rebekah Neumann and the rise and fall of WeWork, with Anne Hathaway giving a standout performance as Rebekah.

💍 Rachel Getting Married
Yazdi picks one of Hathaway’s boldest performances – Jonathan Demme’s raw, intimate family drama about addiction, grief, and a wedding weekend on the verge of implosion.

🐈‍⬛ The Dark Knight Rises / Interstellar
Joe goes full Nolan, spotlighting Hathaway’s sharp, playful turn as Selina Kyle in The Dark Knight Rises, while also giving a nod to her strong work in Interstellar.

🎤 Mother Mary
David Lowery’s latest is a strange, gorgeous, deeply abstract two-hander starring Anne Hathaway and Michaela Coel. Yazdi was the only one to see it, and he makes the case for its committed weirdness, its A24 boldness, and Hathaway’s fearless performance as a pop star on the edge of a comeback. Not for everyone – but absolutely for viewers who like their cinema ambitious, metaphorical, and beautifully shot.

👠 The Devil Wears Prada 2
Twenty years after the original, Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci return to the world of Runway. The team debates whether this sequel earns its return, whether nostalgia is enough, and why the original remains such a classic. Glossy, fashionable, fun, and a little too lightweight, this one still offers the pleasure of spending time with old friends.

This week on Moviewallas, Joe, Rashmi, and Yazdi return from a whirlwind UK trip and jump straight back into movie mode with a packed episode covering three wildly different films. First up is I Swear, the emotionally powerful true story of a Scottish man living with Tourette’s syndrome. Then the hosts dive into The Drama, a provocative and sharply written relationship thriller starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson that sparks one of the podcast’s most fascinating discussions of the year. Finally, they tackle Michael, Antoine Fuqua’s glossy and highly controversial Michael Jackson biopic.

Along the way, there are streaming recommendations ranging from Gordon Ramsay’s restaurant empire to the one-take kitchen thriller Boiling Point, plus conversations about morality, celebrity, art versus artist, and whether audiences can ever truly know the people they idolize.

📺 Streaming Picks – “I Can’t Find Anything to Watch…”

👨‍🍳 Being Gordon Ramsay – Netflix
Rashmi recommends this entertaining behind-the-scenes docuseries following Gordon Ramsay as he prepares to launch his enormous new London restaurant venture at Bishopsgate.

🔥 Boiling Point – Tubi
Yazdi highlights Stephen Graham’s intense single-take restaurant drama – a technical filmmaking achievement capturing one disastrous night inside a London kitchen.

🆘 Send Help – Hulu / Disney+
Joe revisits one of the team’s favorite films of the year so far, now arriving on streaming platforms after its theatrical run.

🎭 I Swear
Based on the true story of Scottish Tourette’s advocate John Davidson, this heartfelt drama explores misunderstanding, kindness, resilience, and the importance of empathy. Yazdi calls it “the movie we need right now.”

💍 The Drama
Starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, this provocative relationship thriller takes a single uncomfortable revelation and spirals it into emotional chaos during wedding week. Funny, tense, morally messy, and one of the strongest films of the year according to all three hosts.

🕺 Michael
Antoine Fuqua’s officially sanctioned Michael Jackson biopic delivers nostalgia, iconic music, and fan service in equal measure. The hosts discuss the film’s strengths, its deliberate omissions, and the challenge of separating artistic brilliance from personal controversy.
