11 JAN 2026 · In "Have You Seen?" we discuss a movie that some of us know well and others have just now seen for the first time.
This week we revisit Edge of Tomorrow, a 2014 science fiction action movie directed by Doug Liman and starring Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt and Bill Paxton, about two soldiers stuck in a time loop during an alien invasion.
We talk about how this movie did not make many waves when it came out in part due to its confusing name changes but has turned into a celebrated classic since then, the movie's take on the time loop formula and how it compares to other movies like it, how the movie uses the time loops to create stakes and shows just enough repetition to convey the state of mind of its characters without ever becoming tedious, the similarities with video game movies and much more.

7 JAN 2026 · This week we review and discuss Marty Supreme, a drama movie directed by Josh Safdie and starring Thimothee Chalamet, Gwyneth Paltrow and Odessa A'zion, about a table tennis player in 1952 and his struggles to compete in an upcoming championship against all odds.
We talk about the movie's unconventional storytelling and Chalamet's persuasive performance as an unlikeable jerk the audience can sympathise with, how the movie depicts its flawed characters and their choices without telling the audience how to feel about them, the movie's handling of themes such as fairness, ego and achievement, debate whether the movie's ending elevates or deflates Marty's story, and much more.

31 DEC 2025 · This week we review and discuss The Housemaid, an erotic thriller movie directed by Paul Feig and starring Sydney Sweeney, Amanda Seyfried and Brandon Sklenar, which follows a young woman with a troubled past who becomes the live-in housekeeper for a wealthy family. Their seemingly perfect life unravels when she discovers their household hides dark secrets.
We talk about whether the movie delivers on its promise of being a throwback to 90's thrillers and whether the near universally positive audience reaction is justified, whether the resolution to the central mystery makes sense and worked for us, whether the movie accurately depicts abuse and abusive relationships and what the ethics of that are for movies, how we would have changed the movie's ending, and much more.

24 DEC 2025 · This week we review and discuss Avatar 3: Fire and Ash, an epic science fiction movie directed by James Cameron and starring Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana and Sigourney Weaver, which follows the story of Jake Sully and his family as they try to live among the Na'vi while being pursued by Colonel Quaritch and the volcano-dwelling Mangkwan clan.
We talk about our very different experiences with the Avatar franchise and how part 3 stacks up against the previous movies, what we thought of the emerging politics of various Na'vi groups, the various character journeys in particular the villains and whether their stories worked for us, the movie's treatment of war, peace and faith, we disagree about various story choices and their impact on pivotal moments in the story, and much more.

21 DEC 2025 · In "Have You Seen?" we discuss a movie that some of us know well and others have just now seen for the first time.
This week we revisit Monty Python's Life of Brian, a 1979 biblical comedy movie directed by Terry Jones and starring John Cleese, Terry Gilliam and Michael Palin, about a young Judaean man who is born on the same day as Jesus, and is subsequently mistaken for the Messiah.
We talk about our reactions to seeing the movie widely seen as the best comedy ever made for the first time in 2025, look back at why this movie was so controversial and widely banned when it came out and speculate how it might be received if it came out today, what parts of the humor worked for us and which didn't, how the movie's criticism of activism has been overshadowed by the criticism of religion when it actually takes up more time and is more biting and why that might be, and much more.

17 DEC 2025 · This week we review and discuss Fackham Hall, a spoof comedy movie directed by Jim O'Hanlon and starring Thomasin McKenzie, Ben Radcliffe and Damian Lewis, which follows heiress Rose Davenport who is torn between marrying her cousin to save the family estate, and eloping with the man she loves despite class barriers.
We talk about whether Fackham Hall's comedy worked for us, compare favourite jokes, ask whether Fackham Hall deserves to be in one category with timeless classics like Naked Gun and Airplane!, why the movie benefits from meticulous planning and a tight plot and how it compares to this year's Naked Gun, why a movie like this existing is a good sign for movies in general and comedies in particular, and much more.

10 DEC 2025 · This week we review and discuss Five Nights at Freddy's 2, a horror movie directed by Emma Tammi and starring Josh Hutcherson, Matthew Lillard and Elizabeth Lail, in which Abby Schmidt reconnects with her animatronic friends, leading to events that reveal the origins of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.
We talk about whether the movie worked for us as somebody not part of the target audience that had never played the games and went into this without a shred of nostalgia, whether there is enough to the movie once you move part the creepy aesthetics of the Freddy Fazbear animatronics, whether the ending worked for us or if it needed to be developed more and expand more on the lore introduced in the first movie more, how FNAF2 stacks up against recent video game adaptations and why this movie signals a positive future for movies, and much more.

7 DEC 2025 · In "Have You Seen?" we discuss a movie that some of us know well and others have just now seen for the first time.
This week we revisit Rapture-Palooza, a 2013 comedy movie directed by Paul Middleditch and starring Anna Kendrick, Ken Jeong and Craig Robinson, about two people trying to survive in the post-rapture apocalypse while trying to defeat The Beast.
We talk about how this movie bombed in the box office and in reviews and why we think it deserves more credit than it has received, how the movie is not really about religion but rather finding meaning in mundane suburban life, how the humor compares to what we expect from movies today and how it has held up, how the movie actually has more solid fundamentals than a lot of movies and is a better movie and a better comedy for it, and much more.

3 DEC 2025 · This week we review and discuss Now You See Me: Now You Don't, a heist movie directed by Ruben Fleischer and starring Jesse Eisenberg, Morgan Freeman and Isla Fisher, about a new generation of magicians who team up with the original Horsemen to take down an evil diamond mining company using their knowledge of magic.
We talk about what the movie improves from the previous installments of the franchise, whether the use of magic was satisfying to us, whether the movie is too crowded by having eight major characters that need to be balanced and whether the movie manages to strike the right balance between action, comedy and showcasing the magic, whether the twist reveal at the end worked for us, whether this movie strays too far from the classic heist movie formula for its own good, and much more.
