After predicting that Verity would top the box office, Allison discusses its reported $70 million worldwide gross against a $40 million production budget. The adaptation, starring Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson, and Josh Hartnett, has attracted audiences familiar with Hoover's bestselling novel.

Allison maintains that Hathaway delivers the film's strongest performance but finds the storytelling disjointed, with its three principal actors seemingly working in different movies. Stephen disagrees, praising the direction and unpredictable twists that kept him guessing throughout the thriller.

The conversation then turns to Digger, Alejandro G. Iñárritu's dark comedy starring Tom Cruise. Despite its high-profile cast and awards-season ambitions, the film is struggling at the box office. Stephen discusses its disappointing theatrical performance while acknowledging that he hasn't seen the movie himself. Allison, who reviewed the film positively, notes that audiences and critics have responded very differently to Cruise's unconventional performance.

Elsewhere at the box office, Forgotten Island continues to struggle despite its family-friendly appeal, raising questions about how effectively animated movies are marketed. Allison also examines the performance of Practical Magic 2, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and Resident Evil, while the conversation returns to Marvel's theatrical rerelease of Avengers: Endgame and its additional footage connected to Avengers: Doomsday.

Then it's time for this week's new releases, beginning with Other Mommy, the supernatural horror film starring Jessica Chastain and directed by Rob Savage.

Based on Josh Malerman's bestselling novel Incidents Around the House, the film follows a young girl named Bela who encounters a mysterious entity that looks exactly like her mother. Chastain plays both the girl's mother and the sinister presence threatening her family.

Stephen is enthusiastic about the film, praising Chastain's dual performance and the terrifying atmosphere. He also singles out young Arabella Olivia Clark, whose performance as Bela particularly impressed him. Stephen says the movie quickly escalates into something far more disturbing than its trailers suggest, making it a strong recommendation for horror fans looking for something frightening this October.

Allison turns to The Social Reckoning, Aaron Sorkin's follow-up to The Social Network. Rather than revisiting Facebook's founding, the new film explores the controversies surrounding the social media company's growth and the revelations brought forward by whistleblower Frances Haugen.

Mikey Madison portrays Haugen, Jeremy Allen White plays journalist Jeff Horwitz, and Jeremy Strong takes over the role of Mark Zuckerberg. The story examines internal Facebook documents, investigative journalism, and questions about the company's influence on society.

Allison praises Madison's performance, calling her the strongest part of the movie, but finds Strong's interpretation of Zuckerberg overly rigid and exaggerated. She also considers the film more of a companion piece to The Social Network than a traditional sequel.

Stephen agrees that Madison is excellent and believes the film's subject matter will interest audiences concerned about the power of social media companies. The discussion also explores whether audiences are interested in Zuckerberg himself or primarily in the consequences of Facebook's decisions.

For moviegoers looking for something lighter, Allison recommends California Schemin', the directorial debut of James McAvoy.

Inspired by the true story of Scottish rap duo Silibil N' Brains, the comedy-drama follows two aspiring musicians who reinvent themselves as American rappers from California in hopes of overcoming prejudice within the music industry. Their unusual scheme creates opportunities while threatening their friendship and identities.

Allison praises McAvoy's direction and the performances of the two young leads, recommending the film as an entertaining alternative to the week's horror and dramatic releases.

The episode concludes with Classic Picks of the Week, including an unusually funny disagreement over who gets to choose Mommie Dearest.

Stephen selects the 1981 drama Mommie Dearest, starring Faye Dunaway as Joan Crawford, after noticing the week's recurring themes involving mothers. Allison initially has the same idea but changes her selection during the segment.

Allison considers Robert Redford's 1992 drama A River Runs Through It before settling on the 1983 musical drama Eddie and the Cruisers, starring Michael Paré.

Allison calls the rerelease exactly what she thinks it is: a cash grab. Audiences still showed up, however, sending Avengers: Endgame Encore to number one as Marvel begins building anticipation for Avengers: Doomsday. Stephen points to the enormous success of Spider-Man: Brand New Day and now Endgame: Encore as evidence that audiences will still turn out for superhero movies when there is enough interest behind them.

The team then checks in on the rest of the box office. Resident Evil continues its theatrical run in its second weekend, while Brad Pitt's Heart of the Beast struggles to justify its large budget despite Pitt's performance, its combat dog, and impressive scenery. Forgotten Island remains the newest major family option, although the group questions whether its marketing clearly told parents and kids what kind of movie they were getting.

That leads to a broader discussion about what movie audiences want heading into the final quarter of 2026. Horror remains one of the industry's most dependable genres because modest budgets can produce strong returns. Family movies continue to have an audience, while Allison wonders whether traditional dramas are becoming a tougher theatrical sell. Stephen also points to the lingering effects of the writers' and actors' strikes before predicting a strong final three months for Hollywood.

Then it's time for this week's new releases, beginning with Digger. Tom Cruise stars in Alejandro G. Iñárritu's dark comedy, and Allison says critics are going to be sharply divided over it. She lands firmly on the positive side.

After seeing early footage introduced by Cruise at CinemaCon, Allison initially wondered what kind of movie Iñárritu and Cruise were making. The finished film won her over completely. She praises Cruise along with John Goodman, Riz Ahmed, Sandra Hüller, the writing, direction, and especially the sound work. Its quirky tone reminds her somewhat of a Wes Anderson film, but she believes there is much more happening beneath the surface than the trailers suggest.

Stephen heads in a very different direction with Beware Boiúna, a giant-snake horror movie set in the Amazon. Unfortunately for a critic who loves horror, he finds the film dull rather than frightening. He criticizes its inability to build suspense, dark and frantic attack sequences that make the creature difficult to see, and a general lack of tension. A giant snake may still lure genre fans into theaters, but Stephen doesn't expect them to leave satisfied.

The biggest disagreement of the episode comes with Verity, the psychological thriller adapted from Colleen Hoover's bestselling novel and starring Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson, and Josh Hartnett.

Allison praises Hathaway but finds the movie disjointed and doesn't believe the adaptation successfully captures Hoover's voice. To her, Hathaway, Hartnett, and Johnson sometimes feel as though they're performing in three different movies: thriller, crime-horror, and romance.

Stephen has almost the opposite reaction. Having not read the novel, he judges the film strictly on what is on screen and loves how repeatedly it catches him off guard. He praises the constant twists and the increasingly rare experience of watching a movie without being able to predict where the story is going. While Allison comes away disappointed, Stephen believes Verity could generate strong word of mouth and plenty of post-movie conversation.

The episode closes with Classic Picks of the Week. Allison celebrates Groucho Marx with the Marx Brothers' 1932 comedy Horse Feathers. After being disappointed by Beware Boiúna, Stephen chooses a giant-snake movie he would rather watch, 1997's Anaconda. Guy connects his selection to Josh Hartnett with the 2003 crime comedy Hollywood Homicide, co-starring Harrison Ford.

Stephen and Allison agree that Cregger, the filmmaker behind Barbarian and Weapons, has delivered a Resident Evil movie that captures the survival-horror experience of the games. Positive reviews and strong word of mouth helped send audiences back to Raccoon City and put the film on top of the weekend box office.

Practical Magic 2 falls from first to second after its winning debut, while Spider-Man: Brand New Day and The Odyssey continue their remarkable theatrical runs. Coyote vs. Acme also remains in the conversation as audiences continue supporting the long-delayed comedy.

The conversation turns to one of 2026's clearest box-office trends: horror continues to make money. Stephen revisits Buddy, the bizarre horror movie about an orange unicorn from a children's television show who becomes considerably less friendly when the kids don't play along. Allison points to the film's small production budget and profitable theatrical run as another example of why studios continue investing in horror.

The numbers illustrate why a comparatively inexpensive genre film can become profitable without blockbuster grosses, while massive productions such as The Odyssey require dramatically larger investments before the returns start flowing.

Then it's time for this week's new releases, beginning with Heart of the Beast. Brad Pitt stars as James Belmont, a former Special Forces soldier who becomes stranded in the Alaskan wilderness with his combat dog after a plane crash. Stephen finds the movie overly sentimental, while Allison praises Pitt's performance, the dog, and the spectacular wilderness photography, even if the survival drama sometimes moves too slowly for her.

For families, DreamWorks Animation brings Forgotten Island to theaters. The animated adventure follows lifelong best friends Jo and Raissa after they are transported through a magical portal to Nakali, a fantastical island inspired by Filipino mythology. Their journey home carries an emotional price: escaping the island could mean sacrificing the memories of their friendship.

Allison praises Forgotten Island for its colorful visuals and mixture of animation styles. Although she finds parts of the story chaotic and cautions that a few moments could be intense for younger children despite the PG rating, she considers it a solid family movie and another theatrical option for parents and kids.

Stephen also reviews The Stunt Driver, starring Jay Baruchel as real-life Canadian daredevil Ken Carter. Set during the 1970s, the action-comedy dramatizes Carter's audacious attempt to launch a rocket-powered car across the St. Lawrence River from Canada to the United States. The role gives Baruchel an opportunity to move beyond the comedic performances audiences know from films such as This Is the End and She's Out of My League, although Stephen isn't completely convinced by him in the more dramatic material.

The discussion leads into the differences between stage acting and acting for film and television. Guy and Allison explain why performers trained to project their voices and movements to the back of a theater often have to learn that less can be more when a camera is capturing every expression.

The episode closes with Classic Picks of the Week. Inspired by Heart of the Beast, Stephen reaches back to 1957 for the ultimate emotional dog movie, Old Yeller. Allison surprises everyone with Michael Mann's 1992 epic The Last of the Mohicans, while Guy goes back to 1967 for the musical fantasy Camelot, starring Richard Harris and Vanessa Redgrave.

Stephen gets to play the tape after correctly predicting last week that Practical Magic 2 would take the top spot. The team discusses the drawing power of Bullock and Kidman, the sequel's reported $75 million budget, and whether its opening will translate into a profitable theatrical run.

Don't shed too many tears for Spider-Man: Brand New Day. After dominating the box office for weeks, the superhero blockbuster has reached approximately $2.5 billion worldwide. The Odyssey also remains remarkably strong, holding third place despite playing in fewer than 2,000 theaters.

Elsewhere at the box office, Allison and Stephen discuss Runner, Coyote vs. Acme, Buddy, Insidious: Out of the Further, The Uprising, and By Any Means. Horror continues to demonstrate why modest production budgets can produce enormous returns, with Buddy and the Insidious franchise providing two very different examples.

Stephen also looks at Hope, a South Korean creature feature with an unusually long runtime for a monster movie. The ambitious film offers something different for adventurous genre fans, but Stephen questions whether two and a half hours is simply too much for this particular story.

Then it's time for one of this week's biggest releases: Resident Evil. The video game franchise receives another cinematic reboot, this time from Barbarian and Weapons filmmaker Zach Cregger. Allison may not be the target audience, but she praises Cregger's execution, while Stephen finds plenty to love in the survival-horror approach.

The new Resident Evil doesn't simply retell one of the games. Instead, an ordinary medical courier named Brian finds himself trapped in Raccoon City as everything falls apart around him. Stephen praises the first-person perspective, creative monsters, jump scares, relentless tension, and Austin Abrams' performance as an everyman caught in a nightmare beyond his control. Both critics expect horror and video game fans to turn out for the film.

For moviegoers looking for something more dramatic, Allison reviews The Weight, starring Ethan Hawke and Russell Crowe. Set during the Great Depression, the action-adventure drama follows a desperate man trying to save his family by transporting gold across dangerous territory. Allison highlights Hawke's performance and believes the film could enter the upcoming awards conversation.

Stephen tackles the dark comedy Bad Apples, starring Saoirse Ronan as a primary school teacher whose methods for dealing with her students take the story into increasingly uncomfortable territory. Stephen praises Ronan but finds that the film struggles with one of cinema's trickiest balancing acts: making genuinely dark material consistently funny.

Allison rounds out the new releases with two lighter choices. Tiny Figures follows a group of kids determined to remain at sleepaway camp rather than return to ordinary life, putting them into conflict with a camp employee played by Johnny Knoxville. She also highlights Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom for audiences who enjoy stop-motion animation and the style associated with Wallace & Gromit.

The episode closes with Classic Picks of the Week. Stephen's Bad Apples discussion sends him back to Disney's 1975 comedy The Apple Dumpling Gang, starring Don Knotts and Tim Conway. Allison marks the anniversary of the 1987 thriller Fatal Attraction, while Guy stays in 1987 with Brian De Palma's The Untouchables, starring Kevin Costner and Sean Connery with an acclaimed score by Ennio Morricone.

The summer's other major hits aren't disappearing either. The Odyssey moves back into second place with approximately $1.6 billion worldwide, while Coyote vs. Acme drops to third but continues benefiting from strong word of mouth and nostalgia. The team also discusses Buddy, which accomplished the unusual feat of making more money during its second weekend than its opening weekend, another example of how horror can build an audience through positive buzz.

The big question is whether Spider-Man can survive another weekend at number one. Allison and Stephen disagree on the answer as Practical Magic 2 arrives in theaters. Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman return, and Allison finds that their chemistry and camaraderie still provide the sequel with plenty of magic. She doesn't think it matches the original, but fans who know and love the first film should enjoy returning to this world. Stephen goes further and predicts the witches will finally knock Spider-Man from the top spot.

Stephen and Allison also review The Fix, an action thriller starring Zachary Levi and Liam Neeson. The story begins during the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal before sending its characters on another dangerous mission. Stephen praises several tense and grounded action sequences but finds the nearly two-and-a-half-hour runtime excessive and thinks inconsistent music choices weaken otherwise effective scenes. Allison agrees that the movie runs long and finds many of its twists predictable, although both consider it a decent action thriller overall.

Stephen previews The Uprising, a darker Robin Hood-inspired film starring Andrew Garfield. He wasn't able to see the film before the broadcast, so rather than judging it unseen, he's waiting to hear how audiences respond.

Allison then reviews Runner, starring Alan Ritchson. After Reacher and Motor City, she wonders whether Ritchson is becoming increasingly typecast as an action star. Runner mixes action, comedy, and thriller elements and delivers a decent experience, although Allison says audiences could comfortably wait for streaming.

The episode closes with Classic Picks before the conversation turns more serious for September 11. Stephen chooses the 1976 King Kong, Allison picks the comedy classic Airplane!, and Guy follows this week's Robin Hood theme with Robin Hood: Men in Tights.

Guy, Allison, and Stephen then reflect personally on September 11, 2001. Stephen remembers living and working in New York when the attacks occurred, while Allison recalls the terrifying hours when she didn't know whether her father, who worked at the World Trade Center, was safe. The conversation honors those who were lost, the first responders and rescuers who answered the call, and the lasting impact of experiencing history rather than simply reading about it.

The team looks at why word of mouth could give Coyote vs. Acme staying power, especially after the film spent years in limbo before Ketchup Entertainment brought it to audiences. Stephen and Allison discuss the movie’s nostalgic appeal, its $15.9 million domestic opening, and why audiences who grew up with Wile E. Coyote and the Acme Corporation are turning out for it.

The news is much worse for The Dog Stars. Despite a reported $70 million budget and a wide release, the film struggles to connect with audiences. Allison again praises its visuals but calls the story disappointing, while the group compares its performance with the much smaller horror release Buddy, which is already profitable thanks to a budget under $3 million.

The box-office conversation also covers PAW Patrol, Mutiny, the continuing strength of horror throughout the year, and why per-theater averages can sometimes tell a more interesting story than weekend grosses alone.

The discussion then turns to Ketchup Entertainment, the independent distributor that rescued Coyote vs. Acme from Warner Bros. after also releasing another shelved animated project. Stephen makes the case for smaller distributors willing to take chances on movies larger studios leave behind.

For this weekend’s new releases, Allison and Stephen both tackle Onslaught. Allison finds the movie tonally confused, unable to decide whether it wants to be action, horror, parody, or something more experimental. Stephen compares it to Universal Soldier crossed with Die Hard, but says its grim tone and extreme gore keep it from becoming the kind of mindless fun ride it seems to want to be.

Stephen also reviews Fall 2: Dead Point, the sequel to 2022’s Fall. This time, another group becomes stranded thousands of feet above the ground, but Stephen finds the sequel far less effective at building suspense and criticizes several filmmaking choices that undermine moments that should have been shocking.

Allison has better things to say about By Any Means, starring Mark Wahlberg and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. Loosely inspired by a true story, the film follows an FBI agent working with a Mafia hitman while investigating the murders of civil rights leaders in 1966 Mississippi. Allison praises its pacing and thriller elements and calls it the best choice among this weekend’s new releases.

The episode closes with Classic Picks of the Week. Stephen honors the late screenwriter Victor Miller with the original 1980 Friday the 13th. Allison goes back to 1983 for Michael Keaton in Mr. Mom, while Guy celebrates Labor Day weekend with another 1983 favorite, National Lampoon’s Vacation.

The team also reflects on a difficult week for entertainment following the deaths of Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, and Peter Cullen. They remember Parton's extraordinary career across music, television, and movies, Curry's unforgettable performances in films including The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Clue, and Cullen's iconic work as the voice of Optimus Prime.

At the box office, The Odyssey continues its successful theatrical run alongside other summer hits, while the discussion turns to how strongly the season recovered after a slower start to the year.

Allison reviews The Dog Stars, a post-apocalyptic drama starring Jacob Elordi, Josh Brolin, Guy Pearce, and Margaret Qualley. While the film itself doesn't completely win her over, its striking aerial photography and landscapes make the cinematography a major standout.

Stephen and Allison then discuss Coyote vs. Acme, the long-delayed live-action and animation hybrid starring Will Forte and John Cena. After nearly disappearing as a tax write-off, the film finally reaches audiences with a story built around Wile E. Coyote taking the Acme Corporation to court. Both praise its nostalgic humor, animated cameos, and ability to capture the spirit of classic cartoons.

Stephen also reviews Buddy, a bizarre horror movie built around a seemingly friendly orange unicorn from a children's television show who becomes terrifying when things don't go his way. The unusual premise delivers gore, kills, and a much darker spin on children's programming than Stephen expected.

Allison takes on Idiots, starring Dave Franco, O'Shea Jackson Jr., and Mason Thames. The comedy follows two down-on-their-luck men transporting a wealthy teenager to rehab before everything goes spectacularly wrong. There are some laughs, but Allison finds the movie overly broad and recommends Coyote vs. Acme for audiences looking for a stronger comedy.

The episode closes with Classic Picks honoring the performers lost this week. Stephen makes a double selection with Dolly Parton's 9 to 5 and Tim Curry's The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Allison honors Parton with Steel Magnolias, while Guy chooses Tim Curry's 1985 ensemble comedy Clue.

The team also looks at Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, which continues holding strong at the box office and dominating IMAX screens. They discuss release-date strategy, the lack of major competition heading into fall, PAW Patrol's family audience, and why films such as The End of Oak Street and One Night Only have struggled to compete with the summer's biggest theatrical events.

Allison reviews The Rivals of Amziah King, Andrew Patterson's sophomore feature starring Matthew McConaughey. She praises Patterson as a filmmaker to watch, highlighting a story that shifts from joyful, bluegrass-infused drama into something much more serious during its second half.

Stephen takes on It Ends, a low-budget thriller about four friends trapped on a seemingly endless road. The single-location concept keeps the production contained, but Stephen finds the philosophical conversations and repetitive setup unable to sustain the film's 90-minute runtime.

Allison then discusses Tony, the Anthony Bourdain biographical drama starring Dominic Sessa and Antonio Banderas. The film focuses on one pivotal summer in Bourdain's life and offers plenty for food lovers, though Allison wonders how much of its appeal depends on audiences already being interested in the famous chef.

Next up is Insidious: Out of the Further, the sixth entry in the horror franchise. Allison finds it suspenseful, creepy, and packed with effective jump scares while introducing a new wrinkle to The Further. It may not be the franchise's best installment, but its low-budget, high-return formula shows why the series keeps coming back.

Finally, Allison gets her Jason Statham moment with Mutiny, which she describes as essentially Die Hard on a ship.

The episode wraps with Classic Picks of the Week. Stephen chooses Pixar's 1998 animated favorite A Bug's Life, Allison goes with Richard Gere in 1980's American Gigolo, and Guy heads back to 1953 for Vincent Price in House of Wax.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day continues its extraordinary box office run, reaching $1.7 billion worldwide and more than $700 million domestically. Guy T. Wehman, Allison Rose, and Stephen Leibowitz discuss the blockbuster's incredible second weekend, the power of repeat viewings and word of mouth, and whether Spider-Man could ultimately cross the $2 billion mark.

Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey remains a major theatrical draw, with IMAX screenings still selling out, while Toy Story 5, Minions and Monsters, and Disney's live-action Moana continue competing for family audiences.

The conversation turns to Hollywood's growing production budgets, franchise fatigue, original storytelling, and why simply spending $250 million doesn't guarantee audiences will show up. The team also looks at the disappointing performances of Ice Cream Man, One Night Only, and Super Troopers 3, and whether studios need to rethink how they develop and release movies.

Stephen and Allison then review The End of Oak Street, David Robert Mitchell's PG-13 dinosaur thriller starring Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor. When a 1980s neighborhood is suddenly transported back to the Jurassic era, the result is a big-screen summer adventure packed with dinosaurs, tension, humor, and the kind of crowd reactions that make seeing a movie in a theater worthwhile.

Allison also previews PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie, which arrives as families look for something new after weeks of Toy Story 5, Minions and Monsters, and Moana.

The episode wraps with Classic Picks of the Week. Stephen revisits Wes Craven's 1984 horror classic A Nightmare on Elm Street, Allison chooses 1989's Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure ahead of her Popcorn Frights interview with William Sadler, and Guy heads back to 1969 for Easy Rider.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day has delivered a record-breaking opening weekend, and Guy T. Wehman, Allison Rose, and Stephen Leibowitz lead this week's FlickRadio with a look at the blockbuster's extraordinary box office performance. They discuss its rapid climb toward the billion-dollar mark, whether it could ultimately reach $2 billion, and what its success could mean for Avengers: Doomsday.

Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey remains strong in second place, while Toy Story 5, Minions and Monsters, and the live-action Moana continue drawing family audiences. The team also looks at the disappointing theatrical performance of Motor City and discusses why some films connect with audiences while others struggle to justify their budgets.

Then Stephen digs into Eli Roth's Ice Cream Man, an unrated horror movie in which children who eat the title character's frozen treats become violent killers. There is plenty of gore, but Stephen finds the dialogue, acting, and filmmaking far less appetizing and explains why he understands reports of audiences walking out.

Allison has a much better time with One Night Only, describing its unusual setup as what might happen if a romantic comedy and The Purge had a baby. The romance follows a familiar formula, but strong chemistry and genuine laugh-out-loud comedy make it an entertaining alternative for moviegoers looking for something lighter.
