The Binge Movie Podcast

The Oscars are this Sunday and Rebecca and Jason are breaking down the nominees just moments before the envelopes open

It’s a Christmas miracle! Rebecca are Jason are back to review four new(ish) movies from the dog days of 2025 award season: Jon M. Chu’s WICKED: FOR GOOD, Yorgos Lanthimos’ BUGONIA, Luca Guadagnino’s AFTER THE HUNT, and Jared Bush and Byron Howard’s ZOOTOPIA 2.

Rebecca and Jason kill time before the White Lotus finale by reviewing Bong Joon Ho’s MICKEY 17, Steven Soderbergh’s BLACK BAG, and Mimi Cave’s HOLLAND.

Happy 2025 from The Binge! In their first episode of the new year, Rebecca and Jason review four major movies from the end of 2024: Halina Reijn’s BABYGIRL, Brady Corbet’s THE BRUTALIST, Luca Guadagnino’s QUEER, and Marielle Heller’s NIGHTBITCH.

It’s late November and we’re here to talk about four of fall’s buzziest movies (and nothing else, why, what’s going on?). Find out Rebecca and Jason’s takes on Jon M. Chu’s WICKED, Sean Baker’s ANORA, Jacques Audiard’s EMILIA PERÉZ, and Edward Berger’s CONCLAVE.

This episode contains two Binge Its and two Send It Backs—can you guess which is which? Rebecca and Jason kick off fall movie season with Todd Phillips’ JOKER: FOLIE À DEUX, Coralie Fargeat’s THE SUBSTANCE, Josh Greenbaum’s WILL & HARPER, and Azazel Jacobs’ HIS THREE DAUGHTERS.

Rebecca and Jason wrap up summer with three movies about trauma and one about corporate synergy—can you tell which is which? Find out in their reviews of Shawn Levy’s DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE, Osgood Perkins’ LONGLEGS, Zoë Kravitz’s BLINK TWICE, and Ally Pankiw’s I USED TO BE FUNNY.

In their semi-annual Pride edition, Rebecca and Jason round up 2024’s most notable queer releases. After unpacking whether CHALLENGERS qualifies as queer, they review Rose Glass’ LOVE LIES BLEEDING, Julio Torres’ PROBLEMISTA, Tig Notaro and Stephanie Allynne’s AM I OK? and Ethan Coen’s DRIVE-AWAY DOLLS.

Rebecca and Jason start the new year (in March) with some Oscar catchup chat, followed by reviews of Denis Villeneuve’s DUNE 2, S.J. Clarkson’s MADAME WEB, J.A. Bayona’s SOCIETY OF THE SNOW, and Dave Meyers’ THIS IS ME… NOW.

In their final episode of 2023, Rebecca and Jason celebrate the holidays with four crushingly dark and frequently depraved awards contenders: Todd Haynes’ MAY DECEMBER, Emerald Fennell’s SALTBURN, William Oldroyd’s EILEEN, and Bradley Cooper’s MAESTRO.

Post-summer but pre-prestige season, Rebecca and Jason review Emma Seligman’s BOTTOMS, Roger Ross Williams’ CASSANDRO, Chloe Domont’s FAIR PLAY, and Brian Duffield’s NO ONE WILL SAVE YOU.

Babe wake up, new BARBENHEIMER episode just dropped! We review the summer’s biggest movies, from Greta Gerwig and Christopher Nolan, plus Rebecca’s personal biggest summer movies: Adele Lim’s JOY RIDE and Jeff Rowe and Kyler Spears’ TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: MUTANT MAYHEM.

It’s the second half of 2023 and we’re kicking it off with four wildly different recent releases: Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, and Justin K. Thompson SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE MULTI-VERSE, Wes Anderson’s ASTEROID CITY, Andrea Pallaoro’s MONICA, and Matt Johnson’s BLACKBERRY.

Rebecca and Jason are joined by writer/producer George Northy (G.B.F., Charmed) to break down the WGA strike and guest review an especially nerdy slate of recent releases: GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3, THE SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE, DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: HONOR AMONG THIEVES…and odd-man-out queer horror comedy SUMMONING SYLVIA.

Rebecca and Jason are joined by fan favorite guest Ashley De La Torre for an Oscars recap and a sequel-palooza of reviews: CREED III, SCREAM VI, and ANT-MAN AND THE WASP: QUANTUMANIA.

Rebecca and Jason are ready to surprise each other with their top and bottom five movies of 2022. Will they have any overlap? Will it come to blows? Will M3GAN preemptively claim top honors for 2023? Only one way to find out!

Guys, it finally happened: Rebecca and Jason recorded together IN PERSON for the first time in nearly three years! Did it become a cautionary tale about our Covid-weakened immune systems? Irrelevant! The important thing is that they sat together in Jason’s LA living room and discussed Tobias Lindholm’s THE GOOD NURSE (which they’d just watched together!), Halina Reijn’s BODIES BODIES BODIES, and J...

For our first episode of 2022 prestige movie season, we break down Nicholas Stoller’s BROS, Andrew Dominik’s BLONDE, Anne Fletcher’s HOCUS POCUS 2, and Lena Dunham’s CATHERINE CALLED BIRDY.

We’re on a roll with a new all-or-nothing episode! This week, we review Dan Trachtenberg’s PREY, John Logan’s THEY/THEM, Lena Dunham’s SHARP STICK, James Morosini’s I LOVE MY DAD, and Mariano Cohn and Gastón Duprat’s OFFICIAL SELECTION.

Our comeback train continues running right on schedule! On this episode, we review the Russo Brothers’ THE GRAY MAN, Billy Porter’s ANYTHING’S POSSIBLE, Audrey Diwan’s HAPPENING, and Peter Strickland’s FLUX GOURMET—and agree on all except one!

After our fully planned and thoroughly communicated nine-month hiatus, we are BACK at the exact time we always said! On this episode featuring exactly zero mutual ratings, we dive into Taika Waititi’s THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER, Sophie Hyde’s GOOD LUCK TO YOU, LEO GRANDE, and recent queer releases Andrew Ahn’s FIRE ISLAND and Sammi Cohen's CRUSH.

Rebecca and Jason return from an unplanned three-month hiatus to delve into Chloe Zhao’s ETERNALS, Denis Villeneuve’s DUNE, Rebecca Hall’s PASSING, Jeymes Samuel’s THE HARDER THEY FALL, and Julia Ducournau’s TITANE.

We assess James Gunn’s long overdue crack at THE SUICIDE SQUAD and a trio of docs: Kristine Solakis’ gay conversion history PRAY AWAY, Peter Nicks’ snapshot of Oakland’s class of 2020 in HOMEROOM, and Ting Poo and Leo Scott’s portrait of Val Kilmer, VAL.

In which a slight difference of opinion on Cate Shortland’s highly anticipated BLACK WIDOW leads to lethargic semi-discussions of Janicza Bravo’s ZOLA and Enrico Casarosa’s LUCA, before we’re revived by Questlove’s SUMMER OF SOUL and restore harmony by being unimpressed with Vanessa Roth’s MARY J. BLIGE’S MY LIFE.

We have polar opposite reactions to Jon M. Chu’s IN THE HEIGHTS, get spooked by Michael Chaves’ THE CONJURING: THE DEVIL DO IT, muddle through Zack Snyder’s ARMY OF THE DEAD, revel in Anders Thomas Jensen’s RIDERS OF JUSTICE, and exalt in Natalie Morales’ PLAN B.
