Why the politics???
It’s getting really obnoxious now… I keep coming back to the podcast because I wanted to hear movie reviews and business discussion about Film etc…. And this whole nonsense about the hosts demanding you hear their opinions on politics it’s just getting pathetic. It’s a great podcast, but one of the first rules of journalism is that you are unbiased…. The moment I hear political rants and micro hints from the hosts… I switch off. I’ve now made the decision to Unfollow and delete this podcast... more

Politics… (sigh)
I love this podcast and the whole crew, I’ve been listening since 2020 but I have to admit the show has gotten worse due to the fact that there are too many toxic political discussions almost in every episode now.
I know politics are everywhere now and its hard to avoid discussing it especially in the US but as someone who’s in the middle of the spectrum I wish Slash crew either discussed it from different perspectives, be more objective or just stick to reviewing the movies without bringing up... more

Good, but used to be GREAT!
I like this podcast and everyone on it, but I am sad that they put my favorite part, the box office rundown, behind a paywall on another podcast. It hurts. Even though the show is weekly now, it can still review the previous weekend’s box office on Wednesday. It is still extremely relevant to THIS podcast. I don’t understand it.

Mixed bag since the format change.
Been listening to this podcast since day one, there’s been some changes that have been good, and many that have been rough. I really do miss the old format. They had way more content than these merged segments squished together. It’s never current with the news. I really miss the box office analysis. You’d think they’d keep that. And no, I’m not gonna join that one dude’s patreon to get it. I still listen, fast forward all the interviews cause I don’t care for them. I guess you get a decent 5 to... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Digger is Obnoxious, Verity Stinks, and The History of Concrete is Delightful (Interview: John Wilson)

Q: What did you want to explore with the Verity conversation that you felt didn't fully land in the film itself?

Nina explains the bones were solid but the execution felt uneven, with high-energy performances saving portions while the overall structure and tonal choices undercut the suspense.

Digger is Obnoxious, Verity Stinks, and The History of Concrete is Delightful (Interview: John Wilson)

Q: Do you think Digger will have lasting appeal or be more of a polarizing Swing-for-the-arts experiment?

Brad suggests the film is divisive but worth discussion for its audacious approach and performances; the key is whether the ambition translates into lasting impact for Cruise's career.

The Social Reckoning, Carrie (with Mike Flanagan), An Early Look at Hexed (with Directors and Producers), and Resident Evil's VFX

Q: What makes a good Stephen King adaptation in your view?

Flanagan emphasizes remembering Stephen King's optimistic humanism at the heart of his work, with horror serving as a vehicle for exploring that humanity. He notes a balance between heart and fear, suggesting adaptations succeed when they hold onto that fundamental optimism while delivering the terror that King's stories promise.

The Paramount/WB Merger is Happening, Resident Evil (Interview: Zach Cregger/Austin Abrams), and The Musical (Interview: Giselle Bonilla and Alexander Heller)

Q: Congratulations on the movie, guys. It is absolutely excellent from what I've seen so far. Zach, what is it to you that speaks to the core of Resident Evil?

The core elements that must remain are the T-virus and Umbrella Corporation, with the survival horror and resource-management dynamic at the center, while adapting to the cinematic form rather than a direct game adaptation.

Hope is An Audacious Sci-Fi Action Flick, Plus: The Paper Season 2 (Interview: Greg Daniels and Michael Koman) and Practical Magic 2

Q: How does the binge-release model impact the writing and pacing for The Paper Season 2?

Daniels and Koman explain that the rapid, binge format changes how they plan arcs, aiming for a coherent season with a clear arc while acknowledging the rhythm differs from traditional weekly releases, and they note the need to balance ongoing work with satisfying finales without forcing a closed-ended conclusion too early.
