It's a top-of-the-year catchup from the guys, as they compare notes on a handful of recent releases, such as Adam McKay's divisive satire Don't Look Up, the finale of Dexter: New Blood, a Coen Brother's take on Macbeth (the famous play written by whatshisname), and other stuff!!!

Ron, Steve, and John have to check a few more items off of their holiday discussion lists, namely Spider-Man: No Way Home, The Matrix: Resurrections, HBO's Station Eleven, and the finale of Hawkeye's debut season. Were these projects naughty or nice? Let Schmovie sort it out!

The guys dig into Wes Anderson’s latest, The French Dispatch, and catch up on a strong episode of Hawkeye. Then they share a few thoughts on other recent releases like thought-provoking sci-fi drama Swan Song; Sandra Bullock’s Netflix drama, The Unforgivable; And Just Like That… (The Sex and the City revival); and HBO’s surprisingly heartwarming tale of pandemic survival, Station Eleven.

After a brief unplanned break, Ron, Steve, and John are back with so many subjects of conversation that they had to just jumble them together in a big ol' conversation stir-fry: New Dexter! New Pen15! New Ghostbusters! Hawkeye's TV show! The latest Edgar Wright movie, Last Night In Soho! It's a lot. And we've used up our allowance of exclamation points.

What if Wonder Woman, Deadpool and The Tooth Fairy got involved in a globe-hopping, double-crossing artifact heist? It’s a question that Ron, Steve, and John can now answer, because they’ve seen Red Notice, a comedy adventure starring Gal Gadot, Ryan Reynolds, and The Rock. The guys also catch up on the eleventh season of Curb Your Enthusiasm and talk things out about The Shrink Next Door, Paul Rudd and Will Ferrell’s new anti-buddy dramedy/thriller, which is based on a true story.

It's hard not to overuse the term "jam-packed" about these recent episodes, but oh well! Maybe "wide-ranging" is a good substitute? Anyway, this week Ron, Steve, and John turn their attention to all the IMAX content coming to Disney +, The Eternals (which John has seen), What We Do in the Shadows's bold third season, Shang-Chi (which Ron and Steve have finally seen), and Daniel Craig's final turn as James Bond, No Time to Die! Wow!

Ron, Steve, and John talk about the mixed-to-negative buzz around Marvel's newest effort, The Eternals, before moving on to a few recent releases they've actually seen, including the new emotional sci-fi road movie, Finch; Jim Cummings's latest dark comedy/thriller, The Beta Test; and the 7th Paranormal Activity flick, Next of Kin.

The guys celebrate the season by digging into a round robin discussion of (mostly) worthwhile horror movies that could be obscure to, or just under-appreciated by, modern audiences.

After comparing notes on recent online hype event DC FanDome, Ronald, Steve, and John take a long look at the divisive new entry in the Michael Myers series, Halloween Kills, and discuss why the The Shape endures.

After 6 films in 7 years, the Elm Street franchise slowed down. Since 1991, only three entries have been released, each one a different attempt to jumpstart or reinvent the series: 1994’s Wes Craven’s New Nightmare, 2003’s Freddy vs Jason, and 2010’s widely detested remake. The films are as diverse in tone as they are qualitatively uneven. Ron, Steve, and John pop a few Sta Up tablets and lock in for a long night, because this Watch-em-all isn’t gonna finish itself.
