We talk about the film's shift from a disaster movie to a post-apocalyptic survival thriller, Gerard Butler's return, the expanded world-building, the action sequences, and whether the emotional core that made the first film work is still intact. We also share our thoughts on the SC...

This week on CinemaChat... we enter the TOURNAMENT once again (for the first time) with our review of Mortal Kombat II !

We talk about...

This week we’re checking out War Machine (2026), a military thriller that takes a hard left turn into full-blown sci-fi chaos on Netflix. Led by Alan Ritchson, the story blends military with sci-fi spectacle, as the squad is forced to adapt, survive, and figure out how to take down an enemy that’s faster, stronger, and unlike anything they’ve trained for. We get into whether the genre mashup actua...

The film leans heavily into uncomfortable territory, mixing humor with some pretty heavy themes as the relationship be...

This week we’re checking out They Will Kill You (2026), a horror-thriller that leans into paranoia, isolation, and the creeping sense that something isn’t quite right.

So is They Will Kill You the kind of horror that sticks with...

The movie leans into tension, dark humor, and the uncomfortable dynamic be...

This week we check out Crime 101 (2026), a crime thriller that looks like it’s setting up a classic heist story… but takes a slightly different path getting there. The film leans into a slower, more methodical approach, focusing on the investigation and the characters circling each other rather than nonstop action. So where does Crime 101 land for us — worth checking out, or one you can safely ski...

This week we’re reviewing Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die (2026) —a time-travel comedy where one guy is sent back to stop humanity from handing the keys to the world over to AI.

This week we’re diving into The Rip (2026) . BE WARNED...This one has spoilers to the point where I put a spoiler warning in the beginning of the episode. It's worth your time and it's on Netflix.
