We apologize in advance: We had a very long show! But we had a lot to dig into. We start with Tom Cruise's "Digger," which, whatever you think about it, certainly provides plenty to chew on. Then it's Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson in "Verity." And we close with Cristian Mungiu's "Fjord," with Sebastian Stan and Renate Reinsve. Those are some big movies that gave us bunches to talk about. Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music.

There's a new DC movie out, from the James Gunn stable, it's "Supergirl." Also, there's a very very very different movie out, the final (probably) Jackass movie, "Jackass: Best and Last." But the real discussion is a long overdue one: We dig into, deeply, the success of "Obsession" and "Backrooms," which is about age and moviegoing changes and what makes people fall in love with the movies in the first place. This was a very, very fun talk. We hope you enjoy it. Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy.  Let us know what you think @griersonleitch on Twitter or Bluesky, or griersonleitch@gmail.com. 

They made another "Toy Story!" Can "Toy Story 5" live up to the legacy? Meanwhile, the guy who directed "Pig" made a movie called "The Death of Robin Hood" with Hugh Jackman. And we have a Reboot too: It's Martin Scorsese's infamous "The Last Temptation of Christ." Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy.  Let us know what you think @griersonleitch on Twitter or Bluesky, or griersonleitch@gmail.com. 

Not much bigger than a new Steven Spielberg movie. Tim and Will dig into "Disclosure Day." It's our only new movie this week. Then, in our Reboot segment, we go back to 1994 and look at Richard Linklater's "Dazed and Confused." Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music.

Three new movies this week, all comedies, kind of. First it's the Wayans Brothers' return to the "Scary Movie" franchise. Then it's the long-gestating "Masters of the Universe" movie.

Grierson is back from Cannes, even if his bags aren't. He wraps up Cannes 2026 for us, and then we discuss the first Star Wars movie in seven years, "The Mandalorian and Grogu." And then we talk about Boots Riley's "I Love Boosters." Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy.  Let us know what you think @griersonleitch on Twitter or Bluesky, or griersonleitch@gmail.com. 

Grierson is still in Cannes, and he briefly joins us for a report, but there were two sort of high-profile movies that Leitch wanted to weigh in on, so here we are. Leitch solos on the adaptation of "Is God Is," as well as the horror hit "Obsession." It's never quite the same when it's just one of us, but at least the show is shorter! Grierson will be back next week for a normal (and long) show. Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy.  Let us know what you think @griersonleitch on Twitter or Bluesky, or griersonleitch@gmail.com.
