This week, Pete and Tommy explore the two most emotionally loaded things you can give another person — your money and your gratitude — and discover they’ve both been doing it sorta wrong, for completely understandable reasons.
Kevin Williamson returns to the franchise he created, Neve Campbell returns to the role she built, and Scream 7 opens to franchise-record box office and a 34% on Rotten Tomatoes. Pete Wright, Tommy Metz III, Steve Sarmento, and Mandy Kaplan dig in. Full spoilers. Strong opinions. One and a half stars from Tommy.
Home repairs and tipping culture. Nobody walks away with answers. Somebody walks away with five podcast dollars. It’s a good episode.
Giant monster month turns out to be less about creatures and more about systems that collapse the moment they’re needed. The Host, Troll Hunter, and Godzilla Minus One (Minus Color) all ask the same question: what do you do when the biggest thing in the room isn’t the monster?
Tommy’s steering wheel once came off at a stoplight, Pete has opinions about your dryer that will make you uncomfortable, and both hosts discover that the invisible labor of adulthood — from oil changes to fabric weight sorting — is basically a series of maintenance rituals nobody trained us for.
Welcome to Season 11 of All The Feelings: Still Adulting, where Pete and Tommy prove that being a grown-up is just an elaborate prank we’re all somehow still falling for. This week: The culinary industrial complex.
No judgment. Just two guys, a microphone, and the shared understanding that being a grown-up is less “having it all figured out” and more “Googling things frantically at 2 AM while pretending you’re fine.”
Chris Pratt wakes up strapped into a futuristic courtroom chair with 90 minutes to live and an AI judge who looks like Rebecca Ferguson, so naturally the movie turns into Minority Report: Touchpad Edition. Pete Wright, Andy Nelson, Tommy Metz III, and Steve Sarmento argue whether Mercy is a cautionary tale about surveillance and AI… or just a very shiny roller coaster that keeps finding new ways to trip over its own shoelaces.
Ever stayed in a situation one beat too long because leaving felt worse than staying? This month on Sitting in the Dark, we’re talking The Invitation, The Night House, and Caveat—three films that understand the terrifying math of “just a few more minutes.”
The Smile films ask a brutal question: what if understanding your trauma doesn’t save you—it makes you easier to consume? This month on Sitting in the Dark, we follow that question from a therapist’s office to a sold-out arena, and it never stops grinning.
