    Baseball season is officially back, and we’re stepping up to the plate with a deep dive into one of the most beloved sports films of all time—Moneyball. We break down why this fan-favorite still hits home, from its behind-the-scenes look at the game to its lasting impact on how we think about baseball.

    We also squeeze in a quick review of the thriller They Will Kill You, sharing our first impressions and whether it’s worth adding to your watchlist.

    From there, we round up some of the latest buzz in streaming, including new shows like DTF in St. Luis, Rooster, and Daredevil Reborn Again Season 2. Plus, we take a nostalgic trip back to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Hannah Montana with its new Disney+ special.

    To close things out, we fire up a fun new game—can we correctly guess the top 10 highest-grossing movies of 2011? Tune in to find out how we did.

    Strap in for a cosmic episode as we blast off with our review of Ryan Gosling’s latest sci-fi epic, Project Hail Mary. We dive deep into Phil Lord and Chris Miller’s stunning direction, Drew Goddard’s sharp script, and how this might just be the best space movie since The Martian.

    Back on Earth, we’ve got trailer talk — Dune: Part Three looks massive, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day swings into some bold new territory. Disney’s making waves too with big announcements for Incredibles 3 and Lilo & Stitch 2. Plus, we break down what’s new in the latest season of Invincible on Prime Video, share some rapid-fire movie news updates, and give a quick take on Ready or Not 2.

    It’s a packed episode of reviews, reactions, and speculation — all fueled by caffeine and movie love.

    What’s interesting is how this lineup quietly shows Hollywood’s current split between nostalgic sequels and bold sci-fi—do you think audiences are leaning toward comfort or curiosity these days?
