  • Weapons (2025) with Alex Megna
    Sep 3 2025

    Will & Jared are joined by special guest Alex Megna to discuss the hotly anticipated horror film by the director of Barbarian that's taken the box office like a swarm of third-graders: Weapons.

    Is Weapons as good as the hype, or is it shooting blanks? What is Aunt Gladys' unexplained backstory? What inspired Zach Cregger to have the kids run like that and is it too disturbing? How much of the episode is the trio quickly running through the plot off the top of their heads? Does Will ever find out why Jared is mad at him? Listen to find out!

    Weapons is currently in theatres now.
