THE SUPER MARIO GALAXY MOVIE is candy!

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 11:00:00 -0500

The Super Mario franchise is a cash cow. There's no reason to think THE SUPER MARIO GALAXY MOVIE will be any different. But we noticed that, at the end of the day, the filmmakers relied on the incredible visuals and treasure trove of characters to generate said cash because, quite frankly, there's just about nothing else of value. So let's talk about it!

These are all the reasons THE BRIDE! is a mess...

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 14:45:00 -0500

Maggie Gyllenhaal is an accomplished actor. She's also written and directed an incredible indie film, THE LOST DAUGHTER. But THE BRIDE! is hardly the follow-up anybody wanted to see. There are redeeming qualities of THE BRIDE! -- Jessie Buckley's performance, in particular -- but, all in all, it's a complete mess. Is it a mob movie? Is it an uprising movie? Is it a monster movie? Is it a feminist movie? So let's talk about it...

Is HOPPERS the best Disney/Pixar movie since COCO???

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 15:00:00 -0500

Disney/Pixar movies are always fun for kids. But they haven't really made an original, high-quality movie that hits people of all ages in a long time. Probably since 2017's COCO. Is HOPPERS a return to form? Let's talk about it...

If you like dark comedy, you'll love GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON'T DIE

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 14:40:00 -0500

This one isn't for everybody. But, if you enjoy dark comedy and appreciate satire, grab your popcorn because GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON'T DIE is a must-watch!

We need more movies like CRIME 101

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 11:45:00 -0500

CRIME 101 hit theaters with zero hype. Unlike HOPPERS, PROJECT HAIL MARY, or THE ODYSSEY, CRIME 101 got almost zero promotion... but, in this case, that's a good thing. The ensemble cast including Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Barry Keoghan and Halle Berry (among others) is outstanding, the directing is incredible and the writing is even better. So let's talk about it...

Sat, 24 Jan 2026 09:53:00 -0500

2026 is expected to be a huge year for movies and movie theaters. From TOY STORY 5 to MINIONS 3 to the live-action MOANA to AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY, the recycling of IPs and the laundry list of sequels should keep theaters packed. But what are the most anticipated movies of 2026? Let's talk about it...

Wed, 31 Dec 2025 06:45:00 -0500

A lot of critics have it among their best of 2025, but is WAKE UP DEAD MAN: A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY truly Oscar worthy? How does it stack up to the rest of the franchise? Should it have spent more time in theaters before hitting Netflix? Let's talk about it...

Timothée Chalamet makes MARTY SUPREME a must-watch

Wed, 24 Dec 2025 10:30:00 -0500

Timothée Chalamet is one of the greatest actors of this generation, no doubt. But does that make every movie he does amazing? Well, no, but every performance he gives is. And that proves to be true for the new A24 film MARTY SUPREME. So let's talk about it...

AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH is like a super model. Let us explain...

Mon, 22 Dec 2025 12:35:00 -0500

Jessie Buckley, Jacobi Jupe send HAMNET into the Best Movies of 2025 category

Fri, 19 Dec 2025 07:00:00 -0500

Sure, some years are better than others, but great movies come out every year. But in very few years has a film had the emotional impact HAMNET had in 2025. Even if it's not your favorite genre, your soul needs to see Chloé Zhao's HAMNET. Paul Mescal is great as William Shakespeare, but Jessie Buckley and Jacobi Jupe send this one into outer space. So let's talk about it...

Is ZOOTOPIA 2 fun for the whole family??

Sat, 13 Dec 2025 08:00:00 -0500

Disney's ZOOTOPIA is criminally underrated. Can the sequel live up to the original? Some of us think so, while others don't. So let's talk about Nick Wilde, Judy Hopps, the Zee-bros, Nibbles Maplestick... and Ed Shear-en???

Fri, 28 Nov 2025 07:45:00 -0500

We sat down with Southern and talked to him about the efforts he made, the pit stops of making his first non-documentary film and the movies that inspired him...

How, on Earth, did THE RUNNING MAN bomb??

Tue, 25 Nov 2025 06:15:00 -0500

Glen Powell, Colman Domingo, Josh Brolin... THE RUNNING MAN should be a bigger hit than it is. It's a blockbuster/popcorn movie through and through, so how did it lose out to NOW YOU SEE ME 3? Let's talk about it...

Here's why you should -- and should not -- see WICKED FOR GOOD

Fri, 21 Nov 2025 09:15:00 -0500

The epic conclusion of WICKED is here with WICKED FOR GOOD. But does it compare to last year's masterpiece? Does Ariana Grande steal the show? Does Jeff Goldblum go full "Jeff Goldblum"? Is it a musical that audiences beyond musical fans should go see? Let's talk about it...

Wed, 22 Oct 2025 06:00:00 -0500

In this episode of the Untitled Film Project Podcast, we break down Kathryn Bigelow’s latest nuclear-tension masterpiece and explain why watching it on Netflix can’t match the big-screen experience.

Tue, 14 Oct 2025 12:46:00 -0500

Austin Butler "effortless" in CAUGHT STEALING

Sun, 28 Sep 2025 19:15:00 -0500

Typically, Darren Aronofsky's films are of high quality but can be challenging to watch. CAUGHT STEALING, thankfully, is very accessible!

Wed, 24 Sep 2025 23:22:00 -0500

Making a special appearance at the 56th Annual Nashville Film Festival was actor Tonatiuh.

Sure to get some Oscar buzz for his portrayal of Luis Molina and Kendall Nesbitt in the musical film, Tonatiuh spent some time with us on the red carpet and chatted about working with veteran actors Lopez and Luna, his dance background that came into play here and how he's waited his whole life for a role like this.

Spike Lee's HIGHEST 2 LOWEST has highs and lows

Wed, 24 Sep 2025 10:57:00 -0500

There's an awful lot to like about Spike Lee's newest film, HIGHEST 2 LOWEST. Unfortunately, there's also a lot to dislike about it. Denzel Washington and Jeffrey Wright are spectacular -- especially when they're on the screen together -- but A$AP Rocky might've been a casting misstep. So let's talk about it...

SPINAL TAP II: THE END CONTINUES is what a legacy sequel should be!

Tue, 16 Sep 2025 10:19:00 -0500

AXEL F and HAPPY GILMORE 2, for example, were legacy sequels released just for streaming. In the court of public opinion, they didn't do well and we think they were hurt by zero theatrical release. So, thankfully, SPINAL TAP II: THE END CONTINUES gets it right! Go laugh with like-minded people who enjoy the original! So let's talk about it...

Joe Kwaczala on his new film AMERICAN COMIC, a mockumentary about stand up comedy

Tue, 16 Sep 2025 06:00:00 -0500

We've been fans of stand-up comic Joe Kwaczala since we saw his Comedy Central half-hour special back in 2019. So when we found out he was doing a movie about stand-up -- in the mockumentary style -- we knew we had to talk with him about it. Hear about how AMERICAN COMIC came together, the hustle behind getting into film festivals all over the country and how he wants it to be the SPINAL TAP for comedians.

How, in the world, is THE LONG WALK one of 2025's best movies??

Thu, 11 Sep 2025 13:15:00 -0500

There is zero reason this movie should work. It's an hour and 40 minutes of dudes walking. But, holy smokes, what a movie! The performances are great, the concept is great, the drama is great and the finale is great. THE LONG WALK has earned its place among 2025's best! So let's talk about it...

Basically, 30 years after the original comedy classic, Sandler and a laundry list of cameo appearances try to recapture the funny, the charm, and the enjoyment of the first installment in HAPPY GILMORE 2. Did they do it? Let's talk about it...

Did Marvel finally get THE FANTASTIC FOUR right?

Sat, 26 Jul 2025 19:49:00 -0500

After numerous attempts to bring the Fantastic Four to the screen, have we finally got a major movie release that does these legendary characters justice? Mister Fantastic, the Invisible Woman, The Thing, and Human Torch have consistently been some of the richest characters in the Marvel pantheon, but have gotten an absolute shaft when turned into a major motion picture. Let's talk about The Fantastic Four: First Steps.

A star is born in Alfie Williams with 28 YEARS LATER

Wed, 16 Jul 2025 13:17:00 -0500

Whether you're a fan of the existing movies, the horror genre, the zombie genre, or a good ol' summer blockbuster, you'll come down on various sides of the fence with 28 YEARS LATER.

Sun, 13 Jul 2025 11:20:00 -0500

There's been a lot of hype -- like, too much hype -- surrounding James Gunn and his attempt at resurrecting the DC Universe. First up? SUPERMAN. We're pleased to say that it's a strong foundation for the incredible catalogue of characters that DC Comics has in its portfolio.

Is JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH just a recycled JURASSIC PARK?

Sun, 06 Jul 2025 11:07:00 -0500

About two years after we supposedly got the final installment of the JURASSIC PARK/WORLD franchise, we get yet another. JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH is full of great performers such as Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey, and Rupert Friend -- as well as a great performance by the young Audrina Miranda -- but the characters they portray are one-dimensional, cookie-cutter characters that prove it's time for this film franchise to go extinct.

M3GAN goes from horror to action, keeps comedy

Mon, 30 Jun 2025 23:00:00 -0500

We were surprised by the first M3GAN and that continues through this one! While the first movie was "a comedy masquerading as horror," M3GAN 2.0 is a comedy masquerading as action. Kudos to Blumhouse for knowing what worked about the first installment and going back to the well!

F1® THE MOVIE is what a summer blockbuster should be!

Sun, 29 Jun 2025 22:14:00 -0500

With incredible cinematography, a thriller soundtrack and score and full IMAX screen viewing for the entirety of the film, F1® THE MOVIE is what a summer blockbuster should be.

Here's why BALLERINA is one of the best JOHN WICK movies

Fri, 27 Jun 2025 05:00:00 -0500

Disney strikes live action gold with LILO & STITCH

Sat, 24 May 2025 18:12:00 -0500

We are so tired of Disney turning its animated classics into live-action films. Yes, JUNGLE BOOK was good, but most of the other attempts (ALADDIN, LITTLE MERMAID, LION KING, etc.) were average at best. Don't look now, but they've got something here with LILO & STITCH! So let's talk about it!

FINAL RECKONING is for the die hard MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE fan, not the average movie fan

Fri, 23 May 2025 19:19:00 -0500

Tom Cruise is back -- for the 8th time -- as Ethan Hunt as the MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE franchise comes to a close (??) in THE FINAL RECKONING. In an attempt to connect the entire franchise in one epic climax, this direct sequel to 2023's DEAD RECKONING, features loads of fan service for the die-hard M:I fan... but, unfortunately, will leave average movie fans feeling completely lost and confused. Let's talk about it!

Is Marvel back??? (Thank you THUNDERBOLTS*)!

Fri, 02 May 2025 11:37:00 -0500

Featuring an incredible ensemble cast of Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, Wyatt Russell, Olga Kurylenko, Lewis Pullman, Geraldine Viswanathan, Chris Bauer, Wendell Pierce, David Harbour, Hannah John-Kamen, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, THUNDERBOLTS* "brings Marvel back to center" and we couldn't be happier. Now let's hope they don't screw it up! Let's talk about the first summer blockbuster of 2025...

You like weird? DEATH OF A UNICORN is weird.

Thu, 10 Apr 2025 10:45:00 -0500

If you took laughter, fear, jump scares, mystery, mythical creatures, and put 'em all in a blender, you'd have this movie. DEATH OF A UNICORN is a dark comedy in every sense. And it's weird. Like... weird. So let's talk about it...

Tom Basden and Tim Key talk making THE BALLAD OF WALLIS ISLAND

Tue, 08 Apr 2025 15:55:00 -0500

A MINECRAFT MOVIE has one, SNOW WHITE has one, BARBIE had one, DUNE: PART TWO had a famous one... but, if you could go back in time and buy a popcorn bucket, what movie would it be for.... and what would it look like? Let's talk about it...

Let DISNEY'S SNOW WHITE earn your hate, forget the controversy!

Wed, 02 Apr 2025 16:18:00 -0500

Forget the controversy surrounding DISNEY'S SNOW WHITE. Did this movie even need to be made? Much has been made about Rachel Zegler's comments about the original SNOW WHITE, fueling controversy. But why judge it before you've seen it? Let Disney's live-action remake of SNOW WHITE earn your hate. Let's talk about it...

Amazon Prime's HOLLAND deserved to be in theaters

Sat, 29 Mar 2025 20:53:00 -0500

A suspense thriller, Mimi Cave's HOLLAND is a little slow to start but worth investing in the third act. With Nicole Kidman at the helm, you would think this would've gotten a theatrical release, but it went straight to Prime Video. Let's talk about it...

MICKEY 17 is weird... but worth seeing!

Thu, 27 Mar 2025 15:01:00 -0500

Fri, 21 Mar 2025 13:00:00 -0500

Everything from OCEAN'S ELEVEN to ERIN BROCKOVICH to TRAFFIC to MAGIC MIKE, Soderbergh's routine leaves audiences cheering in one fashion or another, with BLACK BAG, that holds true. With an incredible cast of Cate Blanchett, Michael Fassbender, Marisa Abela, Tom Burke, Naomie Harris and Regé-Jean Page, Soderbergh and writer David Koepp create a soon-to-be classic spy thriller. So let's talk about it...

Thu, 27 Feb 2025 13:10:00 -0500

We're thrilled to have spent some time with the director of the new black comedy film RIFF RAFF, Dito Montiel.

Peter Facinelli explains how THE UNBREAKABLE BOY went from book to film

Thu, 20 Feb 2025 23:02:00 -0500

Scott Michael LeRette and Susy Flory wrote a book called The Unbreakable Boy: A Father's Fear, a Son's Courage, and a Story of Unconditional Love.

Mackie, Ford, Esposito stellar in CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD

Fri, 14 Feb 2025 11:57:00 -0500

We've been rooting for Anthony Mackie for a while now. His take on Captain America is exactly what the Marvel Cinematic Universe needs and, quite frankly, what the world needs. Making their debuts in BRAVE NEW WORLD, Harrison Ford and Giancarlo Esposito are incredible additions to the MCU, but the movie as a whole? Well... it could've been better. Let's talk about it.

Celebrating SNL50 with our reaction to SATURDAY NIGHT!

Sat, 01 Feb 2025 06:30:00 -0500

Saturday Night Live has been a staple for all of us. This year, the late-night institution is celebrating its 50th season, so we thought, why not honor SNL with a review of Jason Reitman's amazing comedy film SATURDAY NIGHT? The original cast of Gilda Radner, Laraine Newman, Jane Curtin, Garrett Morris, Dan Aykroyd, Chevy Chase, and John Belushi are played by near-no-name actors Ella Hunt, Emily Fairn, Kim Matula, Lamorne Morris, Dylan O'Brien, Cory Michael Smith, and Matt Wood, respectively. SATURDAY NIGHT received the top honor for Best Ensemble Cast by the Music City Film Critics' Association awards, and it's easy to see why.

THE BRUTALIST is art for art's sake

Wed, 29 Jan 2025 16:04:00 -0500

THE BRUTALIST has incredible, award-nomination-worthy pieces. The cinematography is outstanding, Adrien Brody and Guy Pearce are superb and there's a perfectly timed intermission... but that doesn't mean it's entertaining. Whether you liked THE BRUTALIST or not, let's talk about it...

Is FLIGHT RISK worth the ticket?

Wed, 29 Jan 2025 13:49:00 -0500

Disney should've left MOANA 2 as a TV show

Sat, 07 Dec 2024 09:57:00 -0500

When Disney announced they were making a MOANA show for streaming, it was an interesting premise. But when they then announced they were making the show into a movie, it was even more interesting.

WICKED is a "feast for the eyes" and ears

Sun, 24 Nov 2024 14:16:00 -0500

Broadway musicals adapted for the silver screen rarely hit with general movie audiences. This is admitted to by production companies and distributors who are known for "hiding" the fact that a film is a musical in trailers and promotion. WICKED is the exception to the rule. Director Jon M. Chu, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo bring you one of 2024's best films. Let's talk about it...

Does VENOM: THE LAST DANCE close out the trilogy on a high note?

Tue, 12 Nov 2024 11:26:00 -0500

In a sea of laughable and hate-watchable Sony Marvel products, the Venom franchise has at least entertained audiences enough thanks to the buddy-buddy interactions on screen between Tom Hardy's Eddie Brock and his symbiote, Venom. So, does The Last Dance close out the trilogy on a high note? We discuss.

THE WILD ROBOT "is better than the book"

DreamWorks knocked it out of the park with THE WILD ROBOT. It's one of the best films of the year and here's why...

This is why JOKER: FOLIE A DEUX isn't as bad as they say...

Sun, 06 Oct 2024 14:43:00 -0500

It's getting blasted by critics and audiences alike, but buckle up. We didn't think JOKER: FOLIE A DEUX was as bad as the current 33% Rotten Tomatoes rating indicates. We think Todd Phillips took some risks—some paid off, some didn't—but once you figure out what's fantasy and what isn't, JOKER 2 becomes a film that movie-making classes could spend some time on.

Two-time Canadian Magician of the Year Shawn Farquhar discovers a murder mystery hidden in front of everyone's faces for centuries. LOST IN THE SHUFFLE brings that theory to life while documenting the genesis and execution of a card trick that explains it all for audiences in a fun and unique way. Recently we got the opportunity to sit down with Farquhar and the film's director Jon Ornoy and talk about the process, flying around the world to make this movie and, maybe most importantly, how it will entertain non-magician audiences.

Movies, Paris & chocolate muffins with Olympic Gold Medalist Olivia Reeves!

Sat, 24 Aug 2024 10:21:00 -0500

Chattanooga is just down the road from Nashville, so when we saw Olivia Reeves win gold in Paris, we reached out to USA Weightlifting and asked if we could get a few minutes of her time. She graciously said yes, so the Untitled Film Project Podcast took the show on the road, drove down to Chattanooga, and ended up talking movies, Paris and chocolate muffins with the 2024 Olympic Gold Medalist weightlifter!

Does BORDERLANDS tarnish Oscar winners?

Mon, 19 Aug 2024 11:27:00 -0500

Its pedigree is in a successful video game, it's got the backing of a massive existing fanbase, and it boasts Oscar winners, Golden Globe-nominated, and future Academy Award winners in its cast... but BORDERLANDS squanders all that and will go down as one of the biggest box office bombs of the decade. MADAME WEB... meet BORDERLANDS.

Mon, 08 Jul 2024 12:04:00 -0500

Lupita Nyong'o is perfection in A QUIET PLACE: DAY ONE

Mon, 01 Jul 2024 16:00:00 -0500

Joseph Quinn also stands out in this apocalyptic drama, which forces the audience to hold its breath along with the characters on screen.

Sat, 22 Jun 2024 12:01:00 -0500

Welcome back, Pixar! INSIDE OUT 2 handles puberty perfectly!

Sat, 15 Jun 2024 16:01:00 -0500

Deep emotional stories, incredible character development and constant smiles are Pixar's hallmarks. But, after LIGHTYEAR (2022) and ELEMENTAL (2023), people were starting to wonder if Pixar still had those hallmarks in them. Thanks to INSIDE OUT 2, we know they do! Welcome back, Pixar!

Is THE FALL GUY one of the best movies of 2024??

Mon, 06 May 2024 16:40:00 -0500

Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt are magnetic in THE FALL GUY... but that's not all the movie has to offer! With multiple references to other films, an incredible cast, a fun story and a predictable-yet-welcome twist, THE FALL GUY is the most fun you'll have at a movie theater so far in 2024.

Is THE MINISTRY OF GENTLEMANLY WARFARE worth your time?

Sun, 28 Apr 2024 06:17:00 -0500

While reviewing Guy Ritchie's THE MINISTRY OF UNGENTLEMANLY WARFARE, we ask ourselves "Why do we have to say Guy Ritchie's name before every one of his projects?" We also dive into how great the cast was, whether or not Henry Cavil has any on-screen charisma and how cool a new World War II story is.

MONKEY MAN is so much more than just another JOHN WICK

Tue, 09 Apr 2024 10:43:00 -0500

Dev Patel writes, stars, directs -- and seemingly everything else -- MONKEY MAN, a new action flick based in India. Since the trailer dropped, it's had a striking resemblance to JOHN WICK and that might have been deliberate. Whether it was or not, an action movie with a deep, emotional story is always worth checking out. So go watch MONKEY MAN and then come listen!

Is GODZILLA x KONG just for kaiju super fans??

Sat, 30 Mar 2024 14:20:00 -0500

One of us thinks GODZILLA x KONG: THE NEW EMPIRE shows the studio listened to fans wanting more kaiju fights. Another thinks it had too many kaiju. Let the fighting commence!

Does Kristen Stewart help or hurt LOVE LIES BLEEDING?

Fri, 29 Mar 2024 11:01:00 -0500

For whatever reason, Kristen Stewart is a very polarizing actor. Whether it's because the Twilight movies are guilty pleasures or because she's been relegated to weird roles, there's a sense of reputation that comes with a film she's in. LOVE LIES BLEEDING is no different. But does she actually hurt or help the A24 release?

Does GHOSTBUSTERS: FROZEN EMPIRE entertain enough with original and new cast?

Thu, 21 Mar 2024 13:42:00 -0500

When the first trailer dropped, there was a lot of excitement surrounding GHOSTBUSTERS: FROZEN EMPIRE. But when the final trailer dropped, there was a lot of fear surrounding GHOSTBUSTERS: FROZEN EMPIRE. Did they give away too much in the previews? Let's review the latest Ghostbusters film and find out...

We also ask The Big Question: What movie/franchise would you like to see rebooted with a younger cast? Let us know in the comments!

Does MEAN GIRLS work as movie a musical?

Wed, 06 Mar 2024 17:03:00 -0500

We all love the original MEAN GIRLS -- it's a comedy classic -- but does it work as a musical? It's now streaming so we figured we'd dive into Tina Fey's updated version. Does it work?

Is DUNE: PART TWO a sci-fi masterpiece? Reviewing Dune 2

Thu, 29 Feb 2024 13:56:00 -0500

One of us called it "epic." Another called it "a masterpiece." What is DUNE: PART TWO? Whatever it is, it's damn good and could be one of the rare examples of a sequel being better than its original.

Director Jon Gunn talks Taylor Swift, Dave Matthews and his new movie ORDINARY ANGELS

Fri, 23 Feb 2024 06:30:00 -0500

We recently spent a few minutes with ORDINARY ANGELS director Jon Gunn and asked him about his new film, avoiding Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour movie and how Dave Matthews got a Producer credit. It's one of the best interviews we've done in our short history here at Untitled. We hope you enjoy!

Go see ORDINARY ANGELS in theaters everywhere starting February 23.

This is why BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE is the first great movie of 2024...

Thu, 22 Feb 2024 11:45:00 -0500

Very few artists are in the "please don't imitate" category. Bob Marley is one of those. Despite that, Kingsley Ben-Adir does the impossible... he's spectacular as Bob Marley. Not to be outdone, Lashana Lynch is award-worthy as Rita and BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE is clearly the first great film of 2024.

Please Sony, stop doing making movies like MADAME WEB...

Mon, 19 Feb 2024 17:54:00 -0500

On this episode, we tackle the film that is MADAME WEB, starring Dakota Johnson, Sydney Sweeney, Celeste O'Connor, Isabela Merced, Tahar Rahim (kind of), Mike Epps (for like 47 total seconds), Emma Roberts and Adam Scott's monotone acting choice.

ARGYLLE is so fun... until it's not

Tue, 06 Feb 2024 16:10:00 -0500

ARGYLLE has had a disappointing box office showing and is disappointing audiences because of its strong, fun and curious beginning giving way to an over-complicated script about halfway through. The cast is excellent, the story starts so promising but then... yeah.

Plus, we name our favorite character in a spy film or show.

Writer, Actor, Director Leah McKendrick gives us the story behind SCRAMBLED!

Sun, 04 Feb 2024 13:15:00 -0500

The next great comedy is out and it's called SCRAMBLED! Leah McKendrick draws from her own experience of freezing her eggs to possibly have a child later in life and pens this incredibly funny, witty and vulnerable movie. We got to talk with her recently and we wanted to bring you that conversation so you could get even more insight into SCRAMBLED which comes out in theaters on February 2, 2024.

WONKA is a charming stroll into a fantastical world

Thu, 11 Jan 2024 18:05:00 -0500

When Warner Bros. announced they would be releasing a new Wonka movie, many asked "But why?" The original Gene Wilder version is a classic and the Johnny Depp version is... interesting. So while we didn't go into the movie with excitement, we certainly left charmed by its sweetness and character. Here's our full review of the Timothée Chalamet-led WONKA.

THE COLOR PURPLE is a masterpiece!

Sun, 24 Dec 2023 14:00:00 -0500

Everything including casting, vocals, set design and costume design are incredible in the adaptation of The Color Purple musical.

Is AQUAMAN AND THE LOST KINGDOM the worst super hero movie since CATWOMAN??

Thu, 21 Dec 2023 14:50:00 -0500

Our tagline here at the Untitled Film Project Podcast is "Go watch. Then Come Listen." But, in the case of AQUAMAN AND THE LOST KINGDOM... just listen. Don't subject yourself to two hours you'll never get back.

The best part of Disney's WISH is the credits... and that's a compliment

Wed, 29 Nov 2023 17:13:00 -0500

The SAG-AFTRA strike may have affected Disney's marketing efforts for WISH. Ariana DeBose is a gift to this movie and Chris Pine is excellent as the villain. It's too bad Disney missed one small thing that would've made its latest animated film a classic. Plus, we name our most underrated Disney animated films.

Some casting criticisms for HUNGER GAMES: THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS AND SNAKES

Tue, 21 Nov 2023 16:59:00 -0500

For the most part, The Hunger Games prequel, SONGBIRDS AND SNAKES is an entertaining, drama-steep romp. But it should be two movies, not one. And, on top of that, we have some criticisms on the casting of this movie. Should Tom Blyth had played Coriolanus Snow? Should Josh Andrés Rivera had played Sejanus Plinth? Should Rachel Zegler had even played Lucy Gray? Let us tell you our takes and then you tell us yours!

So apparently Elvis supporters hate Priscilla... and us for some reason

Fri, 17 Nov 2023 15:28:00 -0500

Our PRISCILLA episode has blown up (14k views and counting). But, with those views, came a lot of comments hating on Priscilla. We love comments, good and bad, because it helps the YouTube algorithm which puts our show in front of more people which helps our numbers, etc. But then we noticed a pattern. Most of them were hating on Priscilla Presley the person (fine, whatever) and unabashedly -- borderline ignorantly -- supporting Elvis. But they were supporting Elvis by attacking us which makes no sense. We're a movie review podcast. We review movies. Apparently, Elvis supporters think we're relationship counselors who give horrendous advice.

So we decided to read some of them. :)

Iman Vellani absolutely saved THE MARVELS

Mon, 13 Nov 2023 13:54:00 -0500

Brie Larson is great with what she's given. Teyonah Parris is great with what she's given. Zawe Ashton is great with what she's given. But Iman Vellani absolutely saves this movie. THE MARVELS is a fun, entertaining ride that ends up being a whole lot of nothing in the end. The decision-makers at Disney and Marvel seemingly ruined this film and we talk about it on this episode of Untitled.

Is the Superhero movie genre dying a slow death?

Thu, 09 Nov 2023 06:45:00 -0500

With the disappointment of Secret Invasion setting up this week's big release of The Marvels, we ask the question: Is the superhero genre dying a slow death? Or, probably more accurately, Is the Golden Age of the Superhero Movie Over?

Is FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S worth the visit?

Wed, 08 Nov 2023 11:19:00 -0500

Josh Hutcherson gives it everything he has and Piper Rubio announces her arrival to the big screen in FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S. But just how good is the newest Blumhouse release?

Sofia Coppola does a masterful job with PRISCILLA

Sun, 05 Nov 2023 18:30:00 -0500

Elvis Presley's estate is none too happy about the new movie PRISCILLA. Sofia Coppola does a masterful job adapting Priscilla Presley's book ELVIS & ME to the big screen nearly 30 years after its release. But what's true? What isn't? Did Elvis groom a girl in the 9th grade to be his wife? Was he a sexual predator? This is a telling of Priscilla Presley's point of view, sure, but how much of that point of view is character protection... for both her AND Elvis? We dive into those topics and more on this episode of Untitled.

An interview with THE MARSH KING'S DAUGHTER author Karen Dionne

Wed, 01 Nov 2023 07:00:00 -0500

In this edition of An Untitled Interview Session, we talk with best-selling author Karen Dionne. A feature film adaptation of her book, THE MARSH KING'S DAUGHTER, hits theaters on November 3, 2023, with Daisy Ridley starring.

People often wonder why movies differ from the books they were based on. We ask Dionne about that along with how she emotionally "let go" of her story and characters in order to let somebody bring them to the big screen.

TAYLOR SWIFT: THE ERAS TOUR captures Taylor's magic perfectly

Wed, 25 Oct 2023 14:30:00 -0500

All three hosts are at a different place in their Taylor fandom... so we went to see TAYLOR SWIFT: THE ERAS TOUR. Some awkward moments occurred, some fun was had and some astute observations were made. Go watch Taylor do her thing and then come listen to our review (of the film... not the concert).

Lily Gladstone is the Best Actress Frontrunner after KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON

Sun, 22 Oct 2023 22:31:00 -0500

Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro are great. They're always great. But Lily Gladstone absolutely shines in KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON and becomes the front-runner for the Best Actress Oscar in March.

Martin Scorsese is masterful once again in his telling of the Osage people and their war with the greedy who come to steal their women for the sole purpose of inheriting oil money.

Is THE EQUALIZER 3 the best of the trilogy?

Wed, 13 Sep 2023 12:51:00 -0500

The first Equalizer is one of the best action movies of the 2010s. But how does THE EQUALIZER 3 stack up against its predecessors? Plus, our favorite Denzel Washington roles and films.

BLUE BEETLE was good but we've seen all this before...

Wed, 06 Sep 2023 14:31:00 -0500

Blue Beetle is surprisingly entertaining... but we've seen all of this before. Come hang out with us and let's talk about the final DCEU film before James Gunn's true takeover. Plus, a discussion on superhero movie fatigue.

Did GRAN TURISMO actually turn out to be a good movie?

Wed, 30 Aug 2023 12:50:00 -0500

A video game "based on a true story" movie with an August release date? Usually not a good sign. But we were impressed with Neill Blomkamp's GRAN TURISMO!

Plus, what is a major sporting event that's on our bucket list?

Celebrating AHSOKA by drafting STAR WARS characters for a movie!

Tue, 22 Aug 2023 05:30:00 -0500

Is THE LAST VOYAGE OF THE DEMETER worth sailing on?

Tue, 15 Aug 2023 14:18:00 -0500

Released almost three whole months prior to Halloween might just tell you everything you need to know about THE LAST VOYAGE OF THE DEMETER. But listen to our review anyway because a horror genre fan, a casual fan and a horror detractor watched it for your pleasure.

Follow along on socials: https://linktr.ee/untitledfilmproject

Disney's HAUNTED MANSION is a horror movie for the whole family

Fri, 11 Aug 2023 09:57:00 -0500

Not sure why they didn't release it in late September or early October but here we are. Disney's latest installment of Haunted Mansion is a horror movie the whole family can enjoy.

Plus, what movie would you like to see made into a ride?

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: MUTANT MAYHEM packs a pleasant punch

Wed, 02 Aug 2023 13:33:00 -0500

Expectations weren't as high going into Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, but it pleasantly surprised us all. It packs in nods of nostalgia while also including witty writing to include Gen Alpha and Gen Z humor. It's a movie the whole family can enjoy.

Plus, we play a game regarding dinosaur romance novels (not even kidding).

BARBIE deserves all the praise and discussion it's garnering

Sun, 30 Jul 2023 14:34:00 -0500

We visit Barbieland for a deeper discussion on the highly successful Barbie movie from Great Gerwig. Starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, this film gave us so much more than the trailer teased, and that's a great thing. Join us to discuss the movie that has fully engulfed pop culture.

Plus, we read your answer to the question "What strange things did you do to your Barbie to make her 'Weird Barbie'"?

OPPENHEIMER is a filmmaking masterpiece

It's not often that we all agree on a film, but Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer makes us agree...it's an incredible work of out. Oppenheimer is decked out with an all-star cast including Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr., Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Florence Pugh and more.

THE FLASH: Loaded with fan service, but is it good?

Thu, 15 Jun 2023 08:00:00 -0500

The Flash is loaded with fan service including Michael Keaton, but is it good and is Ezra Miller a distraction?

Let's find out!

Also, the big question: if you could go back in time and change one seemingly insignificant thing, what would it be?

Halle Bailey proves she's a star in THE LITTLE MERMAID

Thu, 25 May 2023 13:00:00 -0500

Come hang out with us as we review Disney's live-action remake of THE LITTLE MERMAID.

Halle Bailey puts all (unwarranted) controversy to rest as she forces her name into the conversation for the next greatest Disney princess. Along with Melissa McCarthy (Ursula), Jonah Hauer-King (Prince Eric), Daveed Diggs (Sebastian), Awkwafina (Scuttle), Jacob Tremblay (Flounder) and Javier Bardem (King Triton) are a tremendous ensemble cast and do nothing but raise up Bailey in an otherwise already spectacular performance.

Jim, Justin and Jeremy break down the latest installment of the Disney live-action remakes AND ask you the big question: If you could ask a real-life mermaid any one question, what question would you ask them?
