After the Frame Podcast

This week on After the Frame, we’re diving into two of the more unusual movies of 2026. We start with You Can See Everything, Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s strange, funny, deeply unsettling exploration of truth, perception, guilt, manipulation, and the stories people tell themselves. We get into Fielder’s ability to turn silence into a weapon, the film’s voyeuristic edge, the beautiful film...

This week on After the Frame, we’ve got two movies operating at very different levels of ambition, but both giving us plenty to talk about. We start with Digger, Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s loud, strange, politically charged satire led by Tom Cruise in one of his most interesting performances in years. The movie is visually impressive, stacked with talent, and occasionally lands on genuinely sharp ide...

This week on After the Frame, we start with Resident Evil, Zach Cregger’s latest swing at horror. Austin Abrams gives the movie a strong center and the pacing keeps things moving, but the goofy tone and lack of emotional weight leave us wondering whether a merely good movie can still feel disappointing when it comes from the filmmaker behind Barbarian and Weapons. Then we move into Primetime, a mu...

This week on After the Frame, the three of us are getting into the kind of movie conversation that starts with one opinion and somehow turns into an argument about four completely different films. From the ambition of Sinners and the blockbuster spectacle of Mission: Impossible: The Final Reckoning to Jurassic World Rebirth and Superman, we trade takes on what worked, what fell short, and which mo...

This week on After the Frame, we’ve got two very different reviews before zooming out for a bigger conversation about the state of movies themselves. We start with Insidious: Out of the Further, a return to a horror franchise that may finally be running out of places to go. There are still a few effective scares and a genuinely uncomfortable dental-horror hook, but familiar mythology, recycled gen...

This week on After the Frame , we’re diving into two movies that take familiar childhood imagery, twist it into something stranger, and somehow find more heart than expected along the way. We start with Coyote vs. Acme , a long-awaited Looney Tunes adventure that understands exactly why these characters still work. The live-action/animation hybrid looks great, the slapstick hits, and the courtroom...

This week on After the Frame , we start with The End of Oak Street , a throwback summer adventure built on dinosaurs, old-school escapism, and strong technical craft. We break down the Amblin-style energy, the performances, the brisk pacing, and why the movie works as a fun popcorn thriller, even if it never quite captures the soul of the classics it’s chasing. From there, we widen the conversatio...

This week on After the Frame , we swing into the next chapter of Tom Holland’s Spider-Man before stepping directly into one of the most dangerous debates in comic-book movie history. We begin with our review of Spider-Man: Brand New Day , a grounded, street-level reset that gives Peter Parker’s emotional journey room to breathe. We break down the fresh direction, striking comic-book style, careful...

This week on After the Frame, the superhero news cycle is working overtime as DC and Marvel reveal more of what’s coming next. We break down the new trailers for Lanterns and Clayface, two projects taking the DC Universe in dramatically different directions. One brings an intergalactic mythology down to Earth for a dark detective story, while the other pushes Gotham into full body-horror territory...

This week on After the Frame, we’re reviewing three movies operating at completely different scales: a monumental theatrical epic, an intimate relationship comedy, and a vicious horror sequel soaked in blood. We begin with The Odyssey, Christopher Nolan’s staggering big-screen achievement. From Matt Damon’s commanding lead performance and jaw-dropping set pieces to the cinematography, score, and r...

This week on After the Frame, we’re reviewing three movies built for very different audiences: an action-heavy genre swing, a colorful Nintendo adventure, and a polished nostalgia sequel that knows exactly what fans came to see. We start with They Will Kill You, a movie with plenty of action, energy, and self-aware intent, but not nearly enough story underneath it. We break down why the set pieces...

This week on After the Frame, we dive into Supergirl, the latest chapter in the new DCU and a movie that leaves us feeling mixed, but still hopeful for the character’s future. Milly Alcock is the clear win here, bringing a messy, damaged, party-girl-with-a-heart-of-gold energy that makes Kara feel distinct from Superman while still fitting into the larger DC world. Her scenes with David Corenswet...

This episode on After the Frame, we’re covering a trio of movies that all surprised us in different ways: one with Spielberg-sized spectacle, one with sheep solving a mystery way better than expected, and one with enough cringe, comedy, and dramatic intensity to make you physically uncomfortable. We start with Disclosure Day, a movie packed with wonder, scale, and that unmistakable Spielberg “wow...

This episode on After the Frame, we’re covering three very different franchise swings: a campy fantasy reboot, a surprisingly purposeful Pixar sequel, and a spoof comedy trying to recapture old magic. We start with Masters of the Universe, a messy but entertaining adventure that leans into the camp, delivers some impressive practical character work, and somehow gives us a pretty strong Jared Leto...

This week on After the Frame, we’re covering two very different superhero shows in one episode: one loud, bloody, and apocalyptic; the other gritty, grounded, and locked back into what makes its hero work. We start with The Boys Season 5, the final ride for a series built on violence, satire, and superhero corruption. We break down whether the show sticks the landing, how Homelander remains one of...

This episode on After the Frame, we’re covering three wildly different movies in one episode - a loose, charming Pixar original, a messy horror reboot, and a technically impressive trip into liminal-space dread. We start with Hoppers, a refreshing win for Pixar that feels original, playful, and genuinely fun. Instead of forcing a heavy message, it leads with charm, imagination, and off-the-wall en...

This week on After the Frame, we’re packing four very different reviews into one episode, from big-screen sci-fi spectacle, to grimy internet-age horror, to absurd comedy, to one of the scariest indie horror swings of the year. We start with Project Hail Mary, a massive crowd-pleaser powered by Ryan Gosling’s charm, breathtaking visual effects, and the emotional punch of Rocky. It comes incredibly...

This week on After the Frame, we’re packing three reviews into one episode, moving from franchise disappointment, to atmospheric dread, to a sequel that’s fun but maybe a little too safe. We start with Scream 7, a frustrating entry in a franchise that usually knows how to balance mystery, nostalgia, and sharp horror satire. This time, the villain reveal, callback-heavy storytelling, and lack of re...

This week on After the Frame, we dive into Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights (2026) — a bold retelling that looks stunning, feels soaked in atmosphere, and swings hard for gothic intensity. For a lot of its runtime, it’s gripping in that “can’t look away” way… and then the final stretch gets shaky. We break down what worked and what didn’t: the film’s striking visual language, the heavy tone, an...

This week on After the Frame, we’re keeping it loose - breaking down the latest entertainment headlines, arguing over our favorite topics, and letting the takes fly. We start with quick reactions to what’s happening in movies and pop culture right now, then jump into a few games that instantly spiral into debate. From guessing lists to ranking on the fly to “winner stays on” chaos, it’s competitiv...

Sam Raimi kicks off 2026 with Send Help a movie that somehow mashes up survival thriller tension with workplace comedy chaos, and actually makes it work. It’s fast, funny, sharp, and packed with the kind of horror-comedy-suspense blend that feels unmistakably Raimi. In this episode of After the Frame, we break down what worked and what didn’t: the smart setup, the instantly punchy character dynami...

This week on After the Frame, we head back to the vibrant city of Zootopia — breaking down why Zootopia 2 works as a thoughtful, funny, and visually stunning sequel that respects the original while confidently expanding its world.
