Moviewallas is on YouTube!

Welcome back to Moviewallas, your weekly dose of film reviews, movie news, and movie-loving banter. In Episode 581, Joe, Rashmi, and Yazdi dive into three wildly different films — a sci-fi thrill ride, a fever-dream drama, and a heartfelt dramedy about love, art, and reinvention.

🎯 Predator: Badlands

Dan Trachtenberg returns with a bold new entry in the Predator universe. Elle Fanning stars in dual roles in a tight, inventive actioner that mixes dread, emotion, and sharp design. The team breaks down the creative risks and big payoffs.

🩸 Die My Love

Director Lynne Ramsay adapts Ariana Harwicz’s intense novel with Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson. This hallucinatory descent into maternal crisis, grief, and rage pushes boundaries. A charged discussion around performance, tone, and the genre’s impact.

🎤 Is This Thing On?

Bradley Cooper directs this intimate New York-set dramedy starring Will Arnett and Laura Dern as a couple navigating divorce, stand-up comedy, and self-discovery. Subtle, lived-in performances anchor a film that sits between melancholy and warmth.
