Episode 574 – Ne Zha II / Highest 2 Lowest

Moviewallas is on Youtube!

🎬 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 subtitlesβ€”or a crash course in Chinese loreβ€”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 β€œHigh 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.

πŸŽ₯ Plus, our weekly streaming corner is back! Don’t miss:
– β€œKneecap” – a Belfast-set dramedy with heart and humor, now on Netflix
– β€œGrave of the Fireflies” – the Studio Ghibli classic that will leave you emotionally shattered (also on Netflix)
– β€œAlien: 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…

Episode 572 – M3GAN 2.0 / Queen of My Dreams

🎬 Welcome back to Moviewallas – your weekly dose of movie magic, film reviews, and unfiltered banter! 🍿

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

πŸ€– “M3GAN 2.0” – 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 πŸ‘€. Featuring laugh-out-loud moments, wingsuits (!!), and Megan going full action hero – we break down what works, what doesn’t, and why audience reactions are clashing with critics.

πŸ‘‘ “The Queen of My Dreams” – 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 don’t want to miss. We give it the thoughtful spotlight it deserves.

PLUS, we share our weekly streaming picks:
πŸŽ₯ Netflix Shorts: Oscar-winning “The Elephant Whisperers” & moving indie short “Anuja”
πŸ“Έ 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 πŸ’ƒ

Episode 571 – F1: The Movie / 28 Years Later

πŸŽ¬πŸŽ™οΈ Welcome back to another episode of Moviewallas – your favorite weekly podcast for film lovers who can’t get enough of theater releases, streaming gems, and all things cinema! πŸŽ¬πŸŽ™οΈ

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

πŸŽ₯ MAIN REVIEWS:

πŸ”₯ F1: The Movie β€” 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?

πŸ§Ÿβ€β™€οΈ 28 Years Later β€” 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?

🍿 WHAT TO STREAM THIS WEEK:
🎩 The Gilded Age – Season 3 is now streaming on Max.
πŸ’€ Companion – A mind-bending, genre-flipping thriller available on Hulu & Max.
🌳 The Tree of Life – Revisit Terrence Malick’s ethereal 2011 classic, starring Brad Pitt and Jessica Chastain, also streaming on Max.

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

Episode 570 – How To Train Your Dragon / Materialists

Moviewallas is on YouTube!

🎬 Welcome to the Moviewallas Podcast!

This week, your hosts Joe, Rashmi, and Yazdi are back with fresh takes on a live-action reboot, an indie rom-com with bite, and all the usual film banter you’ve come to expect. 🍿🎧

In this episode, we’re diving into two wildly different films β€” one a high-flying fantasy remake, the other a sharply observed modern romance:

πŸ‰ HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON (2025)

The beloved DreamWorks animated hit gets the live-action treatment. Does it soar or stumble? The team weighs in on the casting, the creature design, and whether Toothless loses a bit of his charm in the translation. With big boots to fill, this adaptation sparked a spirited conversation about nostalgia, fidelity to source material, and how remakes can (or can’t) recapture magic.

πŸ’Ž MATERIALISTS

The latest from Past Lives director Celine Song, this sharp, stylish romantic dramedy explores love, ambition, and the emotional calculus of modern relationships. Set in New York and steeped in wit and yearning, Materialists prompted a lively debate from the hosts β€” with Yazdi applauding its depth, Rashmi appreciating its elegance, and Joe raising questions about its emotional accessibility.

πŸ“Ί STREAMING PICKS

The team also shares a few things to watch from home:

  • The Seed of the Sacred Fig β€” streaming on Hulu

  • Dabba Cartel β€” a gritty Hindi-language crime series on Netflix

  • Long Way Round β€” Ewan McGregor’s global motorcycle journey on Apple TV+
