High n' Dry Podcast

What Movie Should We Do Next? We review Sheep Detective with our three-part method, then use a talking-sheep murder mystery to get weirdly personal about memory, grief, and what we choose to carry. The jokes land, the whiskey shows up, and the “golden path” turns a simple family film into a sharp rant about algorithm-fed reality.  • our mind-altering setup with propranolol and bourbon  • quick plo...

What Movie Should We Do Next? We rate Supergirl across acting, cinematography, score, plot, and rewatchability, then land on why the movie feels like a stack of missed chances instead of a character-driven breakout. We also call out how misogyny poisons the conversation while still insisting the writing has to earn its moral message.  • our three-part review method and what we are taking beforehan...

What Movie Should We Do Next? We rewatch The Princess Bride as adults and rate it across acting, cinematography, score, plot, and rewatchability, then argue our way to a definitive 4.5 out of 5. Along the way we get into what makes the movie feel so alive, why modern media often feels soulless, and how money and AI can crush the point of making art.  • Our three-part method for reviewing a movie w...

What Movie Should We Do Next? We start with a raw riff on public hypocrisy and private repression, then pivot into a full Masters of the Universe review that lands at a definitive 2.5 out of 5. We argue about what camp is supposed to do, why the soundtrack either rules or derails the tone, and how “hope core” hero stories can still matter even when the plot is paper thin.  • Cold open on politics,...

What Movie Should We Do Next? We watch Netflix’s Ladies First and give it our locked-in star ratings before we get honest about what the movie tries to say about feminism. We talk through why the gender swap premise feels shallow, why the lesson comes too easy, and what a smarter version of the story could have been.  • quick intro and why Ladies First is trending on Netflix  • what everyone’s dri...

What Movie Should We Do Next? We review Obsession (2026) while drunk and caffeinated, score it category by category, and admit it left us disturbed long after the credits. We use the movie to talk plainly about consent, the “nice guy” villain, and the damage we cause when we manufacture a reality that erases someone else’s autonomy.  • Quick detour into Celebrity Ghost Stories skepticism  • Our th...

What Movie Should We Do Next? We’re running on fumes, so we caffeinate and pour a drink while we take a hard look at We Bury the Dead. We land on a 3/5, praise the acting and visuals, then dig into the grief metaphor that nearly sticks the landing before the ending sends us into a rant spiral.  • our quick spoiler synopsis and the three-part review format  • Daisy Ridley’s performance and why the...

What Movie Should We Do Next? We get a little drunk, a little high, and put Mortal Kombat 2 on trial with our three-part review system, ending with a final score that’s more forgiving than the plot deserves. We dig into what makes the sequel feel more watchable than the last reboot, then spiral into fandom drama, plot armor, and the only question that matters: what would our fatalities be.  • our...

What Movie Should We Do Next? We rate K-Pop Demon Hunters with our five-point rubric and end up split on what works versus what feels like empty hype. Then we dig into the deeper meaning: consumerism, idol purity culture, and why the fandom energy around this movie makes our skin crawl.  • cold open chaos and why we are missing Luke  • our three-part method: ratings, Golden Path, then inserting ou...

What Movie Should We Do Next? We get drunk and high, rate Whiplash, and argue about why so many people mistake cruelty for genius. We break down how the movie frames abuse as a path to greatness and why the “suffer for your art” mindset still messes up schools, work, and creative life.  • Jackie Chan Adventures nostalgia and voice actor rabbit hole  • Three-part review format and what we’re drinki...

What Movie Should We Do Next? We rate 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple with our three-part system, then chase the few moments where the movie hints at something bigger than blood and spectacle. The conversation runs from acting, cinematography, and diegetic music to cult coercion, warped perception, and why “safety” can be a trap in an isolated world.  • rating Bone Temple across acting, cinematogr...

What Movie Should We Do Next? We put The Mummy Returns back on the stand for its anniversary and judge it by what’s on the screen today, not what we remember loving as kids. We land on a 2.5 out of 5 and end up arguing that nostalgia is real, but it can’t patch a messy sequel. • our three-part rating method and what we’re smoking and drinking • why the first Mummy feels tighter and warmer • acting...

What Movie Should We Do Next? We review Undertone, a horror movie built around a remote podcast and a daughter caring for her dying mother, and we keep circling the same feeling: huge potential with too little payoff. We score the acting, cinematography, sound, plot, and rewatchability, then land on a unified 2.5 out of 5 after debating what the film sets up and what it refuses to deliver.  • our...

What Movie Should We Do Next? Three hosts pick apart The Bride with sharp takes on feminist rage, authorship, and whether lavish style can carry a stitched-together plot. We rate acting, visuals, soundtrack, and rewatchability, and debate who this film truly serves. • reframing the Bride of Frankenstein through autonomy and identity • neo-noir cinematography that outshines the script • performance...

What Movie Should We Do Next? We rate Bologna a bleak four out of five and unpack why stellar performances can coexist with near-zero rewatchability. The film’s black comedy bends into class, power, and the costs of choosing violence when systems refuse to change. • tight trio of leads driving tension • swelling score against stark, wide shots • plot twists that test empathy and logic • class alle...

What Movie Should We Do Next? We rate and debate a new Wuthering Heights adaptation, digging into where it stuns on screen and where the story blinks. We push past the outrage cycle to ask what an adaptation owes the source and what happens when a film hints at heavy themes but refuses to land them. • why tension reads as “lewd” when it’s repression • key deviations from Brontë’s plot and tone • r...

What Movie Should We Do Next? We rate Sam Raimi’s “Send Help” four stars and dig into how an island strips the gloss off corporate ambition, turning tropes into a sharp critique of power, merit, and survival. McAdams owns the screen, the camera bites, and the final stare puts the audience on trial. • acting that turns humiliation into resolve • Raimi signatures in kinetic, queasy camera work • fam...

What Movie Should We Do Next? Three hosts get high, sip whiskey, and sort out why a stylish, 60s-set Fantastic Four feels both gorgeous and strangely soft. We rate the acting, roast the CGI baby, praise Galactus and Silver Surfer, and debate whether retrofuturism is a comforting lie or a clever setup for future conflict. • 60s-set retrofuturism as aesthetic and thesis • Galactus and Silver Surfer...

What Movie Should We Do Next? We rate Rian Johnson’s Wake Up Dead Man, argue what makes a fair-play whodunit, and wrestle with how religion and charisma shape control, community, and consequence. Between jokes and toasts, we land on 3.5 out of 5 and ask for bolder risks next time. • scoring the film by cinematography, acting, score, story, rewatchability • standout shots that map power and space i...

What Movie Should We Do Next? We mark our 100th episode by reviewing Wicked 2 with clear eyes and full glasses, weighing standout CGI against flat lighting, soft songs, and a story that stalls whenever the music starts. The Oz lore tie-ins land, but the pacing and depth rarely do. • definitive category ratings across acting, cinematography, score, story and rewatchability • why blanket lighting fl...

What Movie Should We Do Next? We score Predator Badlands, argue whether a simple hero’s journey helps or hurts, and celebrate a creature-forward approach that finally trusts the predator. We toast new “listeners,” confess our vices, and then drop into lore, tropes, and ridiculous self-inserts that break the universe in fun ways. • fan acceptance over fan service • acting under prosthetics landing...

What Movie Should We Do Next? We rate Good Fortune a 3.5 while praising Keanu Reeves and questioning the film’s soft landing on class. Humor and heart land, but the “rich learns a lesson” wrap leaves us hungry for real stakes, worker power, and change that lasts. • Keanu’s performance as a near-human mirror • Why mid-tier cinematography still works • Soundtrack energy without memorability • The en...

What Movie Should We Do Next? We rate Darren Aronofsky’s Caught Stealing a clean three, then pull apart why it moves fast but leaves a faint aftertaste. The cast delivers competence, the camera delivers polish, and the story leans on old tropes that drain the emotion it tries to spark. • rating the film across acting, cinematography, soundtrack, story, rewatchability • Austin Butler’s strengths in...

What Movie Should We Do Next? We rate Good Boy, salvage a lost recording, and settle into a dog’s-eye horror that hits harder than slashers. Between bourbon, Pineapple Express, and hallway dread, we trace empathy, ownership, and why silence can be the scariest instrument on the board. • rating the categories: acting, cinematography, score, story, rewatchability • dog-as-protagonist and sensory POV...

What Movie Should We Do Next? Cameron Kade's journey from promising football recruit to something much darker explores how institutions exploit young athletes and the cult-like devotion sports can demand.
