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?

Welcome to Carlos’ Thoughts Podcast!

My horror movie marathon continues with Insidious (2010)! This supernatural thriller had me questioning every shadow in my room. From eerie jump scares to that nightmare-inducing “Tiptoe Through the Tulips” scene, Insidious knows how to get under your skin.

In this episode, I’ll break down the plot, share my unfiltered reactions, and highlight the moments that genuinely creeped me out. Plus, I’ll dive into some behind-the-scenes details—like how Insidious managed to create such terrifying horror on a tiny $1.5 million budgetand why that gamble paid off big time at the box office.

Next up: Scream (1996)! Don’t forget to follow the podcast so you don’t miss it. And if you enjoyed this episode, leave a 5-star review—it helps a ton!

In this episode, I start off trying to figure out which animated movie characters would actually survive a horror film, because let’s be honest, most of them wouldn’t make it past the opening scene. Then, I get into my childhood fear that swallowing a watermelon seed would turn me into the Hulk (and a small part of me still kinda believes it). Finally, I wrap things up with a wild story about driving on the 110 freeway, where things escalated fast and somehow ended with a full cup of coffee being thrown at my car. It’s a bit of a ride, but that’s just how it goes around here. Tune in and see where the conversation takes us!

In this episode of Carlos’ Thoughts podcast, I start off talking about eggs, because seriously, why are they in everything? That somehow leads me to Humpty Dumpty, I dive into sleep patterns, and Paddington in Peru, and somehow end up talking about SNL. I wrap it all up by sharing why I think everyone should try to have more friends. It’s a bit of a rollercoaster, but that’s just how it goes around here. Tune in and see where the conversation takes us this time!

In this episode of Carlos’ Thoughts podcast, I start off talking about the John Deere company and how, for absolutely no reason at all, their merch is actually kind of cool. From there, I get into my biggest goal in life, being a dad, before somehow transitioning into why 7/11 (the store) and the date 7/11 should be a national holiday. And to wrap things up, I confess that I used to believe giraffes were fictional creatures… and honestly, a small part of me still kinda does. It’s a wild ride, but that’s just how it goes around here. Tune in and let’s see where the conversation takes us this time!

In this episode of Carlos’ Thoughts podcast, I start off by diving into the idea of death, how I’m scared of dying, but also… not really? From there, things take a turn into brain stuff, like whether an MRI scan can tell if you’re racist and if some people are just hardwired to be addicts. And somehow, I end up talking about that one time I swallowed a penny. It’s a bit all over the place, but that’s just how it goes around here. Tune in and let’s see where the conversation takes us this time!

In this episode of Carlos’ Thoughts Podcast, I kick things off by celebrating Black History Month and reminiscing about my first African American friend, Devan aka the Black Moses. From there, I dive into my favorite artist, J. Cole, and somehow end up talking about Magic Johnson, Kendrick Lamar, and SZA. Speaking of SZA, I also get into her new movie with Keke Palmer, One of Them Days. As always, it’s a bit of a wild ride, but that’s just how it goes around here. Tune in and let’s see where the conversation takes us this time!
