The MovieBabble Podcast

As the box office's heartbeat continues to wane, Nick and Collin take a look at Disney's latest release-date push. Everything from Kenneth Branagh's Death on the Nile to Black Widow has been pushed. With most studios skipping October, the question of whether or not November will still see the release of No Time to Die and Soul is still on everyone's mind. Netflix, on the other hand, remains relati...

The theatrical release train has come to a grinding halt this week. While nothing new has gained much attention, Tenet still keeps trudging along as best it can. And, reliable as always, Netflix dropped The Devil All the Time this weekend as well. Plus, as a bonus, Brennan brings the inside scoop on some of TIFF's biggest hits. We discuss these new items plus we pay our respects to Tim Burton's cl...

Tenet is here, though it may not be financially performing like it, and we have questions. Nick, Brennan, and Collin dive into the unpleasantries of how bodily functions might work for someone running through time in reverse. We also discuss our thoughts on the film, as well as several other recent releases. Later, we check in with the latest QAnon conspiracy theory, revolving around the movie Cut...

One of the few silver linings of the COVID-19 pandemic is the increased flexibility in covering film festivals all over the globe, which gave MovieBabble the wonderful opportunity to cover the Fantasia Film Festival for the last two weeks. While (in a perfect, far less contaminated world) the ideal scenario would be for everyone to have the chance to see Fantasia's slate of films in person, there...

Chadwick Boseman's death has rocked the industry and left millions mourning. Nick and Collin take some time to reflect on who he was and what his career means to us and so many others. He was an actor of a caliber and class rarely seen, he will be missed dearly. Later, we debate whether or not The New Mutants is a real movie. We also discuss The Personal History of David Copperfield and its effort...

If you enjoy kiddie superhero movies or Saturday morning cartoons, this isn't for you. This episode of the MovieBabble Podcast is made for grown-ups, so you're not in the demographic. Grown-up topics include: The Box Office Re-Opening The Batman The Snyder Cut The Suicide Squad DC Fandome Back to the Future The Dark Knight The New Mutants? All this and more on this week's episode of The MovieBabbl...

On this week's podcast, we continue to answer the tough questions, such as: Is Project Power worth discussing? Why do people like Josh Duhamel so much? Do teenage boys make up all of MovieBabble's site traffic? Additionally, Brennan and Nick also discuss the provocative new documentary Boys State from A24 and Apple TV+. And guess what! We actually have box office news to report on! We rundown the...

This week on The MovieBabble Podcast, we ask the tough questions that other critics are too afraid to tackle. For example: What does the abolition of the Paramount Decrees mean? When does the Kissing Booth Franchise stop? What is the full title of Ferris Bueller's Off Day??? But for the most part, we just stan Steven Spielberg... Among other things, we also discuss the Disney+ release of Mulan, th...

Psyche, just when we thought we were out of the Tenet release date discussion, it drags us back in. The Christopher Nolan blockbuster has once again planted its flag, though this time over a usually under-performing holiday weekend. As theaters start to announce their opening up plans, will the tide change for Labor Day's box office dividends? But some movies don't need a theater to release. Yes,...

Everything is canceled! Or, at least that's what it feels like. In the wake of a slew of indefinite delays for Tenet, Mulan, Top Gun, and even Star Wars, the box office will remain empty for some time. Nick and Collin discuss what some of this might mean for the immediate and future global box office. However, The New Mutants still stands as an optimistic holdout for its August 28th release date....

The new content train has come to a sudden halt after last week's torrent of new movies. However, Nick, Brennan, and Collin still watch things like the good movie babblers they are. Peacock is here, and despite Nick's distaste for its name, we're overall pretty pleased. Though it lacks the quantity of content that giants like Netflix and Amazon Prime boast, NBC's Peacock makes up for it with high-...

With the releases of Greyhound, The Old Guard, and Palm Springs on various streaming services, the weekend felt pretty normal (if you avoid thinking about the hellscape of a situation we still all find ourselves in at the moment)! We dissect the prospects Apple TV+ moving forward in the wake of Greyhound's release, and how consumers should approach it when they have approximately 10,000 other stre...

Surprise! Tenet has once again been rescheduled, but Christopher Nolan is probably more frustrated by his greatest films being streamed via Fortnite...  In the wake of another round of COVID-19-related delays, will The New Mutants face yet another rescheduling? Unphased by Coronavirus, Netflix continues to pump out an endless stream of content. We talk Eurovision and 365 Days in more detail than w...

Trying to wash the memory of Artemis Fowl from their minds, Brennan and Nick take some time to deep dive into Spike Lee's Da 5 Bloods (spoilers). It's also a crazy time in the movie world, with Regal, AMC, and Cinemark having announced their reopening plans. Amid this news, Nick caught up with The Last Days of American Crime...and hated all of it. All this and more on this week's episode of The Mo...

This past week was strangely one of the more crowded for movies since the start of quarantine with the releases of Da 5 Bloods, Artemis Fowl, and The King of Staten Island on various streaming platforms and VOD. (If you squint hard enough, everything feels normal!!!) We break down the success of Spike Lee's new film, the utter WTF-ness of Artemis Fowl, and our expectations for Judd Apatow's latest...

Becky is taking the box office by storm... or at least as much of a storm as it can muster between 42 drive-in theaters. The box office has yet to fully return, but Tenet still remains boldly on the near horizon. In the meantime, Brennan and I content ourselves with the Netflix Top 10 List. While not every film on the list is a winner, it's a better lineup than we've seen in week's past. We also d...

HBO Max is here, and it is loaded to the brim with classic and contemporary content. Between Warner Bros' century-old library, Turner Classic Movies, Studio Ghibli, and more, it is a real contender with Netflix and Disney+. But, HBO Max was made completely irrelevant this week by the arrival of Uncut Gems on Netflix. Brennan and I discuss this and Netflix's vast library of Adam Sandler-centric con...

The internet (or at least the specific corners of it) finally got what it wanted: The Snyder Cut is coming to HBO Max in 2021. Zack Snyder will go back to the editing bay and finish his vision of Justice League...for better or worse. What should we expect from this latest streaming experiment? Is there any chance it's actually good? In other Warner Bros. news, Christopher Nolan and the studio rele...

Scoob! forwent its theatrical release and landed on digital this week. Though none of us thought it was worth dropping $20 on, we still took the time to pay it some respect and discussion. We discuss James Gunn's live-action adaptations as well as some of our generation's guilty pleasure films. As is typical during these trying times, we also talk in-depth about what is currently hot on Netflix, w...

AMC appears to have found a potential ally, or overlord, in Amazon. After preliminary meetings between the two this week, AMC's stock rose astronomically. As the theater slump continues, any news is good news to The MovieBabble Podcasters. Brennan and Collin discussed this, along with some of the newer releases available through Amazon, Netflix, and more. We also discussed some of what we've been...

AMC has declared war on Universal Pictures after the studio claimed it would further utilize Video On Demand launches following the success of Trolls: World Tour. Cineworld quickly backed AMC up but Regal later recanted and said they would not be following in their parent company's footsteps. Nick and I discuss the merits and pitfalls of either company trying to continue without utilizing the othe...

Another week, another 897 films dropping on Netflix. The service dropped two big-time films this weekend in Extraction and The Willoughbys, and both appeared at the top of Netflix's "illustrious" Top 10. Are they deserving? Aside from Netflix's Top 10, the team goes through some of their own recommendations, including a re-examination of Roma, Robert Altman's The Player, and a pair of movies about...

As we roll further into quarantine, Netflix looks like more of a winner. Its stock is at its all-time high, and they're the only studio consistently releasing new movies. For now, all is going right for them. As such, we discuss Netflix's Top 10 as well as some of their recent releases like 'The Main Event', 'Sergio', and 'Crip Camp.' Elsewhere, Brennan and Nick take a brief dive into the films of...

Have you ever noticed how every movie that has the word "rise" in the title is the worst movie in the trilogy? Well, Brennan and I have. Quarantine leads the mind to many an unusual thought. This week on The MovieBabble Podcast, Brennan and I discuss this trend deeply. We also dive into the mysterious world of streaming statistics, and the success Trolls: World Tour is or isn't having. Without any...

We're well into quarantine, and now movies that were supposed to come out in the prime summer months are all starting to push back their release dates. The last week saw 'Top Gun: Maverick', 'The French Dispatch', everything on Sony's slate, and more move back or get taken off the schedule entirely. What will be next? Brennan and Nick also break down the Netflix Top 10 and some of their streaming...
