Spoilers abound as we discuss Jane Campion's masterful Western/Hitchcockian thriller  The Power of the Dog . It's the rare movie that turns out at the end to be a completely different movie — and even in a completely different genre — than we thought at the beginning.  We explore questions like:  —who or what "the dog" of the title is —performative masculinity —whether there's a bad...

The newish Netflix action film Kate stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead as an assassin in Japan, working for a mentor played by Woody Harrelson. It's full of tropes — the last job, the assassin who bonds with a young woman — but they worked for us. It's got bright lights, rampant anime influences, and great music. We just wish there was a little less backstory and a little more of Kate fighting Yakuza h...

We start this episode by talking about why we love Disney+'s What If , which scrambles and tweaks our favorite Marvel stories to imagine how they might have gone a little differently. The, inspired by What If , we think about the many directions into which the MCU could go — how will the X-Men come into play? What's up with the Spideyverse? And which of our predictions have come true so far? Then...
