About this listen

Welcome to Carlos @ The Movies, the podcast that dares to ask the only question that really matters: Is it cinema or just another theme park ride?


Hosted by Carlos, a wildly passionate (and proudly unqualified) movie lover, this show dives into the latest theatrical releases, revisits beloved classics, and stirs the pot with takes that are as honest as they are dramatic.


One of the standout series is The Rewatch Report, where Carlos re-examines iconic films through a 2025 lens. Whether it’s “Twilight hits different in 2025” or “Was Shrek 2 actually perfect?”, it’s all about nostalgia, humor, and unfiltered opinions on what holds up and what really doesn’t.


This is Carlos @ The Movies, proof that you don’t need film school to have strong opinions.

  • Does Minecraft Actually Work as a Movie?
    Apr 16 2025

    This week on Carlos @ the Movies, we’re asking the question no one thought they’d need to: Does Minecraft actually work as a movie or is it just a bunch of blocks pretending to be cinema?

    I’ll break down the vibe, what the trailer made us expect, and whether the movie delivered anything more than pixelated chaos. We’ll cover what worked, what didn’t, favorite moments, weird choices, and a few things that made me wonder who greenlit this movie and whether they deserve a raise.

    We’ve also got a spoiler zone, a rapid-fire round of the best and worst moments, and I’ll wrap it up with a final watch score and my official verdict. Should you watch it, skip it, or leave it in creative mode?
