A celebratory biopic chronicling Michael Jackson’s journey from his early days with the Jackson 5 to global superstardom. Jaafar Jackson (Michael’s real-life nephew) stars as the King of Pop, with Nia Long, Laura Harrier, Miles Teller and Colman Domingo rounding out the cast.

We discuss how the film follows the classic musical biopic formula - hitting all the expected beats while delivering strong performances and impressive recreations of iconic moments and debate whether its safe, positive approach works as pure entertainment for fans or feels too sanitised by skipping the more controversial chapters of Jackson’s life.

Lee Cronin delivers a fresh horror spin on the classic Universal monster franchise. When a young girl who vanished in the desert years earlier suddenly returns to her family, what should be a joyful reunion quickly turns terrifying as they realise she is not the same daughter they lost.

We discuss how this version leans heavily into body horror, jump scares and an unsettling atmosphere rather than action-adventure, comparing it to past Mummy films, whilst debating the conventional possession tropes it shares with The Conjuring movies. Later in the conversation, we chat about the gruesome practical effects and have a good-natured disagreement about character decisions.

We compare two very different new family films: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, the chaotic, high-energy Nintendo sequel that sends Mario, Luigi and friends on a colourful space adventure and The Magic Faraway Tree, the charming adaptation of Enid Blyton’s beloved books about a family discovering a magical tree that leads to fantastical worlds.

We discuss why one feels like pure sensory overload designed for modern kids while the other offers a gentler, more whimsical British charm with a wholesome message about imagination and family, plus which one we’d actually recommend taking the kids to see.

Fast-forward to hear about:

01:15: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026)

BenDavid Gribinski directs this fun genre mash-up: two lifelong friends get pulled into a dangerous night of organised crime, complete with time travel twists that force them to confront their past mistakes and fractured loyalties. Vince Vaughn plays dual versions of Nick, James Marsden is Quick Draw Mike, and Eiza González is Alice, with Keith David, Jimmy Tatro and more rounding out the cast in this action-comedy that blends mob mayhem with clever temporal shenanigans.

We discuss how well the time-travel gimmick serves the gangster story, praise the strong central duo and their chemistry, unpack the mix of humour, heart and stylish set pieces, and debate whether this fresh spin on old-school crime tropes delivers enough originality or just enough entertainment to hit the spot.

Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett return for this horror-comedy sequel: after surviving the Le Domas family’s deadly game, Grace (Samara Weaving) is thrust into an even deadlier ritual hunted by a cabal of the world’s wealthiest and most powerful families. Kathryn Newton joins as her estranged sister in a fresh round of chaos, with Sarah Michelle Gellar, Elijah Wood, Kevin Durand and more rounding out the ensemble.

We discuss whether the expanded lore and higher stakes work, praise the returning cast’s energy and the film’s gory, over-the-top kills, and debate if this delivers a worthy follow-up or feels like a familiar rerun with bigger production values.
