Devil In Disguise: John Wayne Gacy Review
Épisode 293
mardi 4 novembre 2025 • Durée 39:37
This week on The Commentary Booth, Jamie Apps and Corrina Mabey dig up the past to unmask one of America’s most terrifying killers — John Wayne Gacy. The duo dive into Devil In Disguise: John Wayne Gacy, the chilling true-crime drama that pulls audiences deep into the grim 1970s Chicago underworld where the “Killer Clown” hid in plain sight.
Across eight tense episodes, the Peacock miniseries traces Gacy’s horrifying double life as a local contractor by day and serial murderer by night. Jamie and Corrina unpack everything from Michael Chernus’ unsettling portrayal of Gacy to the show’s raw, gritty style that captures the era’s claustrophobic fear. They also discuss how the series resists glamorising violence, instead focusing on the victims and exposing the failures of a homophobic justice system that allowed Gacy’s crimes to continue for so long.
The hosts debate the show’s time jumps, reflect on the haunting realism of its cinematography, and explore why this series feels more Mindhunter and Dahmer than Ed Gein.
Highlights Breakdown:
- A Victim-Centric Masterpiece: Discover why this series stands head and shoulders above other serial killer dramatisations (looking at you, Monster: The Ed Gein Story!) by placing the victims, their families, and the lasting trauma at the forefront.
- The Performance of a Monster: Our take on Michael Chernus's terrifyingly accurate portrayal of Gacy, capturing his chilling instant switch from charismatic public figure to menacing killer.
- Gritty 70s Authenticity: How the show’s raw, unglamorous style and clever editing choices create a gripping and respectful tone, reminiscent of fan-favourites like Mindhunter and Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.
- Societal Failures Exposed: A deep dive into the homophobia and systemic police failures that allowed Gacy to prey on marginalised young men for far too long.
- The Final Verdict: Is the series flawless? We discuss the pros and cons, including some divisive time-jumping narrative choices in the later episodes.
Whether you’re fascinated by true crime or drawn to stories that confront the darkest corners of humanity, this episode delivers a gripping, reflective discussion about this heavy but essential watch for true crime aficionados.
Tune in for a spoiler-filled review that explores the real monster behind the makeup.

IT: Welcome To Derry Review
Épisode 292
mardi 28 octobre 2025 • Durée 44:31
Grab your red balloon and steady your nerves! On this week’s episode of The Commentary Booth, Jamie Apps and Corrina Mabey descend into the sewers of Stephen King's imagination to review the first five episodes of HBO Max's chilling new series, IT: Welcome to Derry.
Serving as a direct prequel to the blockbuster It films, this series plants us in Derry, Maine, in 1962. As a new family arrives, a boy vanishes, and the town's deep-seated darkness begins to fester. Is it the return of Pennywise, or is the real horror the people of Derry themselves?
Across the episode, Jamie and Corrina unpack early impressions of the first five episodes — from its chilling opening sequence to its layered social commentary on racism, military paranoia, and generational trauma. They debate whether Pennywise’s absence makes the horror sharper, discuss how fear manifests beyond the clown, and draw parallels between Stranger Things and It’s young cast. There’s laughter, unease, and a lot of speculation about where this dark mythology will lead next.
Highlights Breakdown:
- First Impressions: Why the opening scene is a gory, tone-setting masterclass that hooks you immediately.
- Standalone Scares: How the series works perfectly for both It veterans and horror newcomers.
- Behind the Mask: Why the show is scarier for not relying solely on Pennywise, and how human evil is the true villain.
- Production Praise: The consistently fantastic CGI and a title sequence packed with hidden clues and lore.
- Era & Atmosphere: How the 1960s setting, with its Cold War paranoia and systemic racism, creates a perfect feeding ground for fear.
- Future Fear: Our theories on the rumoured three-season plan and a potential journey back to 1935 and 1908 to explore the full origin of Pennywise!
- Final Ratings: Our spoiler-free scores for the first five episodes and our high hopes for the finale.
If you're wondering whether Welcome to Derry can stand on its own, if it's truly scary, or how it sets up a potential multi-season journey through the 27-year cycle of fear, this is the review you can't miss.
IT: Welcome to Derry is streaming now on HBO Max with new episodes weekly.

Eenie Meanie Review
Épisode 283
mardi 26 août 2025 • Durée 26:24
Buckle up for a high-octane episode of The Commentary Booth. This week, host Jamie Apps is joined by colour commentator Corrina Mabey to peel out and review the new action-thriller Eenie Meanie, streaming now on Disney+ and Hulu.
Starring Samara Weaving (not Margot Robbie!), the film follows Edie, a reformed teenage getaway driver dragged back into her unsavoury past to save her chronically unreliable ex-boyfriend. Think Baby Driver meets Bonnie and Clyde with a toxic twist.
Jamie and Corrina break down the film's thrilling car chases, surprising emotional depth, and Samara Weaving's fantastic shift from Scream Queen to action hero. They discuss the gritty practicality of the stunts, the hilarious comedy beats (including a scene-stealing Tesla gag), and the film's shocking third-act twist you won't see coming.
Highlights Breakdown:
The fantastic, practical car chase choreography that outshines modern Fast & Furious
Samara Weaving's stellar performance and her move from horror to dramatic action
The complex, toxic relationship at the heart of the film and its surprising parallels to the crime boss subplot
The standout comedy moments, including a scene with Marshawn Lynch that had us in stitches
The surprisingly wholesome ending and why the film's emotional core makes it more than just a heist movie.
Is Eenie Meanie a solid streaming gem or just another forgettable car flick?

Épisode 192
mardi 28 novembre 2023 • Durée 45:01
This week on The Commentary Booth Jamie is joined by Blake Robinson to review Ridley Scott's latest masterpiece, Napoleon, featuring the enigmatic Joaquin Phoenix in the lead role.
Napoleon a pseudo-biopic is an epic that details Napoleon Bonaparte's checkered rise, fall & relentless journey to power. In doing so, the film cements why the term "Napoleon Complex" is common in modern-day vernacular.

This new film is a sci-fi psychological thriller based on Iain Reid's 2018 novel of the same name. In this story, set in 2065, the lives of a married couple are turned upside down when a mysterious stranger arrives on the doorstep of their secluded farmhouse. Upon welcoming this stranger into their house the couple is informed that the husband is to be sent to live on a space station for an extended period, while in his place an articulate replica of himself will be left in his place with his wife. As the film progresses we soon learn there is much more than meets the eye with this replica & this story overall.
