Episode 576 – Him / After The Hunt / One Battle After Another

๐ŸŽฌ Moviewallas Episode 576 โ€“ Him, After the Hunt & One Battle After Another ๐ŸŽฌ

Moviewallas is on YouTube!

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

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

  • After the Hunt โ€“ 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 โ€“ 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) โ€“ Lily James as the force behind Tinder & Bumble.

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

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

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

 

Whether youโ€™re looking for sharp reviews, streaming recommendations, or passionate debates about what works (and what doesnโ€™t), Moviewallas has you covered.

Episode 574 – Ne Zha II / Highest 2 Lowest

Moviewallas is on Youtube!

๐ŸŽฌ 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 subtitlesโ€”or a crash course in Chinese loreโ€”might have helped guide the ride through this cultural spectacular.

Next, the podcast shifts gears to the gritty streets of New York with Spike Leeโ€™s modern reinterpretation of โ€œHigh and Low,โ€ starring Denzel Washington and Jeffrey Wright. The gang is unanimous: this oneโ€™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.

๐ŸŽฅ Plus, our weekly streaming corner is back! Don’t miss:
– โ€œKneecapโ€ โ€“ a Belfast-set dramedy with heart and humor, now on Netflix
– โ€œGrave of the Firefliesโ€ โ€“ the Studio Ghibli classic that will leave you emotionally shattered (also on Netflix)
– โ€œAlien: Covenantโ€ โ€“ Joe makes the case for giving this misunderstood sci-fi sequel another shot (now on HBO Max)

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

โœˆ๏ธ FIRST, a quick catch-up as the hosts return from globe-trotting adventures โ€” and somehow still manage to squeeze in filmsโ€ฆ from the back of an airplane!

๐Ÿฟ THIS WEEKโ€™S STREAMING GEMS:

๐ŸŽฅ FEATURED REVIEWS:

๐Ÿ’ฅ SUPERMAN (2025) โ€” A rebooted take on the Man of Steel from DC’s new creative chief James Gunn. Did this hopeful, political, and action-heavy film bring anything new to the table? The Moviewallas team is split, and emotions run high in this roundtable.

Episode 572 – M3GAN 2.0 / Queen of My Dreams

๐ŸŽฌ Welcome back to Moviewallas โ€“ your weekly dose of movie magic, film reviews, and unfiltered banter! ๐Ÿฟ

In this episode, we’re diving deep into two very different films currently making waves:

๐Ÿค– “M3GAN 2.0” โ€“ The killer AI doll is back and sassier than ever! We debate whether this sequel nailed the satire or spiraled into nonsense. Some of us absolutely loved the campy action-comedy vibes, while others… not so much ๐Ÿ‘€. Featuring laugh-out-loud moments, wingsuits (!!), and Megan going full action hero โ€“ we break down what works, what doesn’t, and why audience reactions are clashing with critics.

๐Ÿ‘‘ “The Queen of My Dreams” โ€“ This tender indie gem from writer-director Fawzia Mirza takes us on a heartfelt, time-traveling journey through intergenerational conflict, identity, and memories across Pakistan and Canada. With stunning visuals, beautiful performances, and important representation, this is one debut you donโ€™t want to miss. We give it the thoughtful spotlight it deserves.

PLUS, we share our weekly streaming picks:
๐ŸŽฅ Netflix Shorts: Oscar-winning “The Elephant Whisperers” & moving indie short “Anuja”
๐Ÿ“ธ Amazon Prime Feature Picks: The soulful “Photograph” and the ever-relevant “Her”

Join us as we laugh, debate, and dish out hot takes, cold critiques, and… maybe learn a Megan dance move or two ๐Ÿ’ƒ

Episode 571 – F1: The Movie / 28 Years Later

๐ŸŽฌ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ Welcome back to another episode of Moviewallas โ€“ your favorite weekly podcast for film lovers who canโ€™t get enough of theater releases, streaming gems, and all things cinema! ๐ŸŽฌ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ

In this episode, our trio โ€” Joe, Rashmi, and Yazdi โ€” dive into two BIG releases and share their picks for what to watch from home!

๐ŸŽฅ MAIN REVIEWS:

๐Ÿ”ฅ F1: The Movie โ€” Buckle up as we review one of the most expensive sports films ever made. Directed by Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick) and starring Brad Pitt, Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, and Javier Bardem, F1 brings the high-octane thrill of Formula One racing to the big screen. But is it just a giant ad for the sport or a new summer blockbuster classic? Does it work for die-hard F1 fans and newcomers alike?

๐ŸงŸโ€โ™€๏ธ 28 Years Later โ€” The long-awaited third installment in the “28 Days/Weeks Later” trilogy reunites director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland. With a cast starring Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes, can this horror sequel capture the emotional resonance and genre-defining terror of its predecessors? Or does it stall at the start line?

๐Ÿฟ WHAT TO STREAM THIS WEEK:
๐ŸŽฉ The Gilded Age โ€“ Season 3 is now streaming on Max.
๐Ÿ’€ Companion โ€“ A mind-bending, genre-flipping thriller available on Hulu & Max.
๐ŸŒณ The Tree of Life โ€“ Revisit Terrence Malick’s ethereal 2011 classic, starring Brad Pitt and Jessica Chastain, also streaming on Max.

๐Ÿ’ฌ PLUS: The team talks streaming service struggles, viewer tips (like JustWatch!), and why Brad Pitt might just be too cool to dislike.
