This week, we're throwing it way back to 1987 and landing in the heart of Oakland, California, where chaos and creativity collide in Freaky Tales. With a stacked cast featuring Pedro Pascal (doing, well… Pedro Pascal things), J. Ellis, Normani, Too $hort, and a ton of wild energy, this film serves up four interconnected stories that are as unpredictable as they are entertaining.

Expect punk rockers throwing down with skinheads, a rap battle that’s pure fire (Too $hort vs. Danger Zone, y’all), and a whole lot of Pedro being Pedro, oh, and did we mention Sleepy Floyd (J. Ellis, not the basketball legend) gets his moment to shine? Yeah, that happens.

🎧 Is it worth the stream? Spoiler: Yes!

But of course, we’ve got thoughts, and some of them are pretty wild.

So grab your headphones, press play, and let’s dive into the madness that is Freaky Tales. You won’t regret it.

This week, we’re unpacking Weapons, the latest from Barbarian director Zack Cregger, and things get weird fast. Seventeen kids vanish from one classroom (yes, one), and what follows is a chaotic spiral of mystery, dread, and Josh Brolin brooding like only Josh Brolin can.

With a killer cast including Julia Garner and Benedict Wong, there’s a lot to like, but is it theater-worthy or best enjoyed in sweatpants with snacks that don’t cost $14?

Spoiler: we liked it, but we’ve got thoughts… and popcorn crumbs.

Dave Franco and Alison Brie star in Together, a squirmy little body horror flick that asks, “What if moving to the country ruined your relationship AND your epidermis?” We’re diving into this oozy, unsettling tale of love gone moldy to answer the ultimate question: is it worth the price of a theater ticket (or just your sanity)?

Tim and Millie are a couple well past their expiration date, and when a mysterious force starts warping their lives and their flesh, things get... messy. Emotionally and otherwise.

We’ve got thoughts, from the film’s visceral metaphors to its arthouse ambitions, and let’s just say... Together might be better experienced apart. 🧟‍♂️💔

Tune in for laughs, light trauma, and popcorn-worthy hot takes.
