We're not sure what the pitch meeting was like, but we know that PRESSURE is an incredible movie. So, we're reviewing PRESSURE, the historical drama about how a meteorologist (played by Andrew Scott) was critical in turning the tide of World War II for the Allies on the beaches of Normandy. Look, D-Day has been done in cinema countless times, so it's great to see a different take on the strategy o...

There's no denying Steven Spielberg is one of the best directors in the history of cinema. There's also no denying that when studios start the hype machine seven months out, it's rarely a good sign. So, does DISCLOSURE DAY live up to the hype? Let's talk about it...

With a reported budget of around $10 million, BACKROOMS has grossed over a quarter of a billion dollars at the global box office. But why? What is it about this little movie that has captured the attention -- and curiosity -- of the average moviegoer? Is it Chiwetel Ejiofor's incredible performance? Is it 20-year-old director Kane Parsons? Is it because of the lore of creepypasta? Let's talk about...

Whether you're fans of the original He-Man and the Masters of the Universe show from the 1980's or not, we think the 2026 MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE reboot is a great time at the theater! Well... two of us do. So let's talk about it!

TUNER quickly became one of our favorite films of the year. Leo Woodall, Havana Rose Liu and Dustin Hoffman's performances are great, Daniel Roher's direction is top notch and the story is compelling. Unfortunately, it's directly competing with THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU, DISCLOSURE DAY, PRESSURE, MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE, BACKROOMS, POWER BALLAD and THE BREADWINNER, all within 14 days of it's wide...

As with any film or show in a massive franchise (Marvel, Star Wars, DCEU, etc.), one of the problems with welcoming new fans into the saga is the amount of homework that needs to happen before you watch something. THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU is a great example of a fun, action-packed Star Wars movie that doesn't require an ounce of research to enjoy. But does that make it a good movie? Let's talk ab...

Here at the Untitled Film Project Podcast, we had an incredible opportunity to bridge a 43-year gap in Michael Jackson history. Marcea Lane was the Pink Zombie Bride over Michael's left shoulder in the original Thriller video back in 1983. Fast forward 43 years, and Nichole Weber portrays that same Pink Zombie Bride in the new MICHAEL biopic. So why not get them together so they can share their ex...

One of the co-stars of the new Netflix/Happy Madison comedy ROOMMATES, Aidan Langford, joins the Untitled Film Project Podcast to talk about the ability to improvise on set, how Sadie Sandler is "an angel," and the nerves involved in meeting Adam Sandler had him taking over an airplane bathroom. So let's talk about it...

The Michael Jackson biopic MICHAEL is about to gross a billion dollars. But, does it honor the King of Pop? Why is Janet Jackson nowhere to be found in the film? Is it just a "concert film" or is there depth? Let's talk about it...

During two recent episodes, we found ourselves talking about what categories we would defend on the game show THE FLOOR, both movie-related and general knowledge. So what topic would you pick if you were cast as a contestant on THE FLOOR? Let's talk about it...

The Super Mario franchise is a cash cow. There's no reason to think THE SUPER MARIO GALAXY MOVIE will be any different. But we noticed that, at the end of the day, the filmmakers relied on the incredible visuals and treasure trove of characters to generate said cash because, quite frankly, there's just about nothing else of value. So let's talk about it!

Maggie Gyllenhaal is an accomplished actor. She's also written and directed an incredible indie film, THE LOST DAUGHTER. But THE BRIDE! is hardly the follow-up anybody wanted to see. There are redeeming qualities of THE BRIDE! -- Jessie Buckley's performance, in particular -- but, all in all, it's a complete mess. Is it a mob movie? Is it an uprising movie? Is it a monster movie? Is it a feminist...

Expectations are high among fans of Project Hail Mary . So for book lovers, audiobook fans, and moviegoers alike—how does it stack up? Is it already the best movie of 2026 so far? We break down the heart, friendship, and humor behind one of the year’s most anticipated films.

Disney/Pixar movies are always fun for kids. But they haven't really made an original, high-quality movie that hits people of all ages in a long time. Probably since 2017's COCO. Is HOPPERS a return to form? Let's talk about it...

This one isn't for everybody. But, if you enjoy dark comedy and appreciate satire, grab your popcorn because GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON'T DIE is a must-watch!

CRIME 101 hit theaters with zero hype. Unlike HOPPERS, PROJECT HAIL MARY, or THE ODYSSEY, CRIME 101 got almost zero promotion... but, in this case, that's a good thing. The ensemble cast including Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Barry Keoghan and Halle Berry (among others) is outstanding, the directing is incredible and the writing is even better. So let's talk about it...

Director Corin Hardy joined the Untitled Film Project Podcast to talk about his new horror film WHISTLE, finding himself directing episodes of GANGS OF LONDON, how King Kong -- and yak hair -- planted the seeds that sprouted his career in Hollywood.

2026 is expected to be a huge year for movies and movie theaters. From TOY STORY 5 to MINIONS 3 to the live-action MOANA to AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY, the recycling of IPs and the laundry list of sequels should keep theaters packed. But what are the most anticipated movies of 2026? Let's talk about it...

We see hundreds of movies a year. So, now that our awards ballot has been submitted to the Music City Film Critics' Association, here are the absolute best films we saw in 2025! Let's talk about it...

A lot of critics have it among their best of 2025, but is WAKE UP DEAD MAN: A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY truly Oscar worthy? How does it stack up to the rest of the franchise? Should it have spent more time in theaters before hitting Netflix? Let's talk about it...

Timothée Chalamet is one of the greatest actors of this generation, no doubt. But does that make every movie he does amazing? Well, no, but every performance he gives is. And that proves to be true for the new A24 film MARTY SUPREME. So let's talk about it...

Let's get down to it: Avatar: Fire and Ash is visually stunning, but incredibly long. Do the visuals do enough to make the movie good? Let's discuss.

Sure, some years are better than others, but great movies come out every year. But in very few years has a film had the emotional impact HAMNET had in 2025. Even if it's not your favorite genre, your soul needs to see Chloé Zhao's HAMNET. Paul Mescal is great as William Shakespeare, but Jessie Buckley and Jacobi Jupe send this one into outer space. So let's talk about it...

Disney's ZOOTOPIA is criminally underrated. Can the sequel live up to the original? Some of us think so, while others don't. So let's talk about Nick Wilde, Judy Hopps, the Zee-bros, Nibbles Maplestick... and Ed Shear-en???

We’re unpacking Bugonia , a film that blends absurd comedy with pointed social commentary. From its bizarre premise to its surprisingly thoughtful moments, there’s a lot to explore. Let’s jump into what makes this movie stand out.
