Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die Spoiler Discussion | The Future Is Here & It Doesn’t Look Great for Humanity

Épisode 17

vendredi 17 juillet 2026 • Durée 01:14:04

In this episode of Film Curious, Ashley and Nicole do a deep dive on a smaller, lesser seen sci-fi adventure film that came out earlier this year, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die, directed by Gore Verbinski (the legend who brought you the first three Pirates of the Caribbean films) and starring Sam Rockwell, Juno Temple, Haley Lu Richardson, Michael Peña, and Zazie Beetz.

We had a lot of fun with this movie…but the subject of its story did bring up some fears and feelings that most of humanity is grappling with right now. We talk about technology and how this film’s closer to our reality than the dystopian imagining it may seem to be; is the purpose of life to be entertained; what happens when tech and government mingle; and is it too late to stop AI? And how the movie manages to weave all these ideas and commentary into one (fairly) cohesive story.

⚠️ We get into spoilers at 13:57! Streaming on Hulu📺

Supergirl (2026) Review | As Good As Any Other Smaller Superhero Movie Out There & the James Gunn Effect That May Pose Problems for DC in the Future

Épisode 16

vendredi 3 juillet 2026 • Durée 59:36

In this episode of Film Curious, Ashley and Pete review and break down the latest DC Studios theatrical release and second film under James Gunn’s leadership, Supergirl, starring Milly Alcock, Eve Ridley, David Corenswet, and Jason Momoa!

Aside from giving our overall impressions of the film (what we liked, loved, and didn’t enjoy), we get into a whole lot of superhero discussions, like: can DC succeed without James Gunn directing every movie, is the trend of using older songs going to get old for audiences, the silly double standards fans have for female superheroes, some of the worst superhero movies of all time, Marvel’s missteps, and a bunch of other tangents!

Hokum Non-Spoiler Review - Damian McCarthy's Folk Horror Follow-Up Is Legitimately Good, Seriously Scary

Épisode 7

mardi 5 mai 2026 • Durée 21:46

In this episode of Film Curious, Pete chats about catching a midnight screening of Hokum at the Florida Film Festival before its wide release; Damian McCarthy's follow-up to Oddity, starring Adam Scott in a role unlike anything you've seen from him before. We discuss why this folk horror haunted hotel film genuinely scared Pete despite knowing every trick in the book, why you don't need to have seen Oddity to enjoy it but there’s a clear connection, and how Hokum fits into the recent golden era of emotional journey driven horror.

And then there are a few tangents on the bizarre online criticism that certain horror films are bad because they actually deliver on their premise and there’s no “twist,” and why tells work in certain stories but not in others.

🍿Pro Tip: Skip the trailer entirely with this one and just watch the film.

The Mummy (2026) Review - Is Lee Cronin's Take Just an Evil Dead & Exorcist Movie in Disguise?

Épisode 6

vendredi 1 mai 2026 • Durée 21:19

In this episode of Film Curious, we're reviewing The Mummy (2026), the latest Universal monster reimagining directed by Lee Cronin (Evil Dead Rise), starring Jack Reynor, Leah Acosta, and May Calamawy. Not to be mistaken for the 1999 Mummy starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz. This is an entirely new one.

We debate whether this fresh take on The Mummy works, why Pete couldn’t shake the feeling he was watching an Evil Dead or Exorcist film, how the demon Nasmaranian has zero roots in Egyptian mythology, and whether the 2 hour and 14 minute runtime was necessary.

We also briefly touch on Universal's ongoing series of monster reboots, how it compares to The Invisible Man and Wolf Man, and what Mike Flanagan’s upcoming Exorcist film might mean for this corner of horror.

The Christophers Review - How This Film Feels Like the Kind of Great Movies Hollywood Used to Make

Épisode 5

jeudi 30 avril 2026 • Durée 22:46

In this episode of Film Curious, we're reviewing The Christophers, the NEON dark comedy directed by Steven Soderbergh and written by Ed Solomon, starring Ian McKellen as a once famous aging artist and Michaela Coel as an art forger hired by his children (played by James Corden and Jessica Gunning) to complete some of his unfinished, long-abandoned work so they’ll have an inheritance when he dies.

We discuss how McKellen and Coel's chemistry and performances are at the heart of the film, how Soderbergh quietly does some of his most superb directing through subtlety, why this feels like watching a play in the best possible way, and how this film has rightly earned its 97% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

The Martian Rewatch - 11 Years Later How Similar Is It Really to Project Hail Mary?

Épisode 4

vendredi 24 avril 2026 • Durée 26:04

After watching Project Hail Mary (2026) in theaters and having our deep dive review of it, we decided to do a little Andy Weir novel adaptation comparison with a rewatch of The Martian (2015)—directed by Ridley Scott and starring Matt Damon eleven years ago. Same screenwriter Drew Goddard, same lone astronaut premise… but are these movies the same?

We talk about what makes The Martian’s puzzle box storytelling so satisfying, why Ridley Scott’s controlled direction still holds up, the two films' major differences, and whether we prefer Project Hail Mary or The Martian.

Merrily We Roll Along Review - How Well Does This Great Broadway Musical Translate from Stage to Screen?

Épisode 3

mercredi 22 avril 2026 • Durée 18:31

This episode of Film Curious, Pete gives a brief, non-spoiler review of Merrily We Roll Along (2025)—the filmed version of the smash 4-time Tony Award-winning Broadway revival, starring Jonathan Groff, Daniel Radcliffe, and Lindsay Mendez, directed for the screen by Maria Friedman now on Netflix. He discusses the direction of the pro shot format, the actors' brilliant performances, and how this Tony-winning musical translates to the screen overall.

We also chat about what these stage to screen adaptations will look like going forward since there seems to be more and more of them being made, as well as go on a little side tangent about getting quality at-home movie viewing with 4K formats and OLED TVs.

The Drama Review - A24's New Dark Comedy’s Wild Twist & Who Really Is the Worst Character Here?

Épisode 2

jeudi 16 avril 2026 • Durée 01:13:51

In this episode of Film Curious, we cover one of A24’s latest theatrical releases, The Drama, starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson as a happily engaged couple who is put to the test when an unexpected revelation sends their wedding week off the rails. We do a deep dive on this story’s psychological, anxiety-driven and, at times, darkly humorous sprint down the aisle, as well as pose questions the film seems to be asking, like who really is the terrible character here and are certain thoughts ever as bad or equal to actions?

Things We Mention in the Episode:

“I Don’t Like Mondays” Song by Boomtown Rats

Bowling for Columbine (Documentary)
