Grab your popcorn and fasten your seatbelts. The Opinyarn crew looks ahead to the blockbusters, sequels, and surprises coming in 2026. From massive franchises and long-awaited returns to fresh original stories, we break down what’s shaping up to be a huge year for cinema.

Then we shift gears for a heartfelt review of Grave of the Fireflies , one of the most emotional animated films ever made, diving into why it still devastates audiences decades later.

And to wrap things up, we play another round of Two Truths and a Lie, where Bryn and Keith try (and fail) to separate movie fact from fiction.

The future of film starts here. 🎥✨

Sequels — the ultimate cinematic gamble. In this episode of Opinyarns, we dive into the highs and lows of movie follow-ups, from legendary second acts like The Dark Knight and Terminator 2, to the franchise-killers that never should’ve seen the light of day.

We debate which sequels outshined their originals, which ones crashed and burned, and why some stories should’ve ended while they were ahead.

Then, to wrap things up, Bryn and Keith face off in a hilarious game where they must guess the creature… based only on its sound. 👀🦖

Lights, camera, chaos — it’s time to talk sequels. 🍿

Every great film needs to grab you from the very first frame — and leave you haunted by the last. 🎬 In this episode of Opinyarns, we break down the most unforgettable openings and endings in movie history. From sunrises on Pride Rock to prison breaks in the rain, and from epic battles to haunting fade-outs, we explore the cinematic bookends that shaped generations of film lovers.

Along the way, we debate which beginnings hooked us hardest, which finales stuck the landing, and even throw in a few hot takes about overrated “iconic” moments.

So take your seat, the lights are dimming — it’s time for the opening credits… and the perfect final shot. 🍿🎥
