The Fantastic Four: First Steps
Marvel’s first family finally makes their MCU debut, but is it a first step worth taking? The Film Board dives into Fantastic Four: First Steps with cosmic ethics, Silver Surfer highs, and Galactus-sized questions about what comes next.
Superman
James Gunn’s Superman reboot flies in with big hopes, bigger swings, and a literal flying dog—and somehow, it works. The Film Board tries to make sense of clone fights, emotional journalism, and whether Supergirl really just called Superman a bitch. (She did.)
Jurassic World Rebirth
The Film Board dives into Jurassic World: Rebirth, a soft reboot that forgets why we ever cared about dinosaurs in the first place. From missing raptors to sarcastic ADR, we ask: is this a franchise reborn—or just another extinction event?
The Phoenician Scheme
Exterior. A moderately obscure European airstrip. Day. The camera dollies past a series of neatly arranged suitcases, a broken harmonium, and a pigeon holding a classified microfilm in its beak. We hear the narrator: The Film Board Gathers. This week, a gang of thugs donned their finest pastels to unravel: The Phoenician Scheme.
Thunderbolts*
Earth’s Most Reluctant Group Project has arrived. The Film Board assembles for a rare Marvel movie we all genuinely like—Thunderbolts—digging into found families, unresolved trauma, and why sometimes the real villain is the emotional baggage we drag behind.
Sinners
Ryan Coogler’s Sinners blends vampires, blues, and bootlegging into a supernatural epic that’s as soulful as it is bloody. This month, Pete, Tommy, and Andy dive deep into the film’s genre-bending ambition, emotional weight, and why it just might be one of the year’s most surprising masterpieces.
Mickey 17
Prepare yourselves for a journey into the bewildering world of Bong Joon Ho’s latest sci-fi offering. That’s right—the director who brought you parasites in the basement and tentacles in the river has now delivered expendable humans on a frozen planet.
Captain America: Brave New World
Is “Captain America: Brave New World” a Dr. Thunder – a pale imitation of past glories? Or is it a flawed but ultimately compelling glimpse into the future of the MCU?
Wolf Man
Forget full moons and silver bullets—Leigh Whannell’s latest universal remake WOLF MAN is a story of family drama, generational trauma, and, oh yeah, turning into a terrifying wolf-man-foster-thing. It’s part horror, part body horror, part marriage horror… and part parenting horror… all of it’s gone horribly wrong.
Red One
From buff Santas to beach-fighting snowmen, this episode explores how Hollywood’s attempt to “Marvelize” Christmas might have missed the spirit of the season.
