The Plague and We Bury the Dead offer two different types of horror (though they sound like they should be more related). The Housemaid is ridiculous popcorn camp but a shockingly enjoyable time at the movies. Anaconda has all the elements on paper to work but the chemissssstry fails to translate on screen.

We're ending 2025 with an Amanda Seyfried double feature of The Housemaid and The Testament of Ann Lee. Plus Timothée Chalamet gives table tennis a spin (with a lot of side quests) in Marty Supreme and Hugh Jackman brings his stage presence to Song Sung Blue.

A holiday release day jam packed with awards bait, but only some are actually worthy of the nice list. We take on Josh Safdie's Marty Supreme, Park Chan Wook's No Other Choice. Plus two musical(ish) films with Song Sung Blue and The Testament of Ann Lee

It's a family affair as we make Jamie join us for Avatar: Fire and Ash and ponder the following: Who is responsible for making Tulkun jewelry? Is there Ozempic on Pandora? Which of his own filmography will James Cameron reference next? (Hoping itsTrue Lies).

Tip of the cap to James Cameron who with Avatar: Fire and Ash has managed to make the us watch essentially same film 3x over (though this time it's hornier than ever). The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants has a delightfully shocking amount of humor aimed at grown ups (though plenty of pandering for the kiddos).

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery may be the best and most emotionally powerful Benoit Blanc whodunnit yet. We're in awe of the storytelling and performances in Sentimental Value.

Benoit Blanc is back and better than ever in Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery. Bryan Fuller takes his whimsy and weirdness to the big screen in Dust Bunny. Sentimental Value is an acting masterclass.

Chloé Zhao's Hamnet emotinoally breaks us in the best way possible. We have incredibly different viewing experiences for Fackham Hall.
Find us at: www.werewatchingwhat.com,
We love it when films inspire deeper conversations after having seen them and this week we've got two movies that do just that with Eternity and Rental Family.
Find us at: www.werewatchingwhat.com,
Chloé Zhao’s Hamnet is one of the most haunting and best films of the year. Left-Handed Girl is a love letter to Taipei. Fackham Hall satirizes the likes of Downton Abbey but is it satisfying?

The new Zootopia 2 goes for a maximalist mammal (and reptile) approach. Eternity is the best and most romantic afterlife film we’ve seen since Defending Your Life.

Important Wicked: For Good discussion points include: the efficacy of a full length cable knit come-hither sweater and what is the Scarecrow's junk made of?

Should you spend a clock tick of your time (and money) on Wicked: For Good? Rental Family continues the Brenaissance in the best possible way. Train Dreams is a meditative tone poem of a film. Let Baloney Tony shepherd you through In Your Dreams.

Edgar Wright takes on Stephen King's (sadly) still relevant The Running Man. The Horsemen return in Now You See Me: Now You Don't but do we wish the franchise was a disappearing act instead?

We're here to bask in Guillermo del Toro's take on Frankenstein and dissect the rules of the world of Pluribus.
Find us at: www.werewatchingwhat.com,
An auteur themed week with four distinct visionaries left to their own devices, but is that always a good thing? We're watching Dan Trachtenberg shape several franchises with Predator: Badlands. Guillermo del Toro's 30 year in the making Frankenstein comes to life. Vince Gilligan is back in action with Pluribus. Lynne Ramsay teams up with Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson for Die My Love.

Bugonia is one of those rare adaptations we think improves upon the source material.

Buckle up for the bonkers and brilliant ride that is Bugonia. Nia DaCosta and Tessa Thompson try to update Hedda - but does their big swing pay off?

Can Jeremy Allen White step into the shoes of the Boss in Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere? Even with additional modernizing layers, Hedda feels stuck on the boards. Nobody Wants This season 2 is fun but it feels like the show is starting to run its course.

Jeremy Allen White tries to step into the shoes of The Boss in Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere. Rose Byrne gives a brilliant and stress inducing performance in If I Had Legs I'd Kick You.
