Introduction and Upcoming Horror Highlights
00:00:19
Brandon
Good evening and welcome to Fright Central where we talk all things horror. My name is Brandon Keck and I'm here with Kevin Dock. And tonight ah Kevin's going to be talking about some of ah upcoming shows, films, television shows, things that we're really looking forward to 2026. But just before we get to that, I have a little bit of news related to the upcoming Camp Crystal Lake television series. And that is, all I mean, this is news that ah will mainly be relevant for people that live in New Jersey or surrounding areas.
Exploring Camp Crystal Lake Tours
00:01:00
Brandon
Well, especially good if you um live up in the Poconos region. But there are ah Camp Crystal Lake tours now offered.
00:01:10
Brandon
Guided Tours of Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco. I think that's I'm saying it right, but No-Be-Bo-Sco. Yeah, it's actually, that is how it is pronounced. is in Hardwick, New Jersey, which is way up in the northern part of the state, I just learned. And it is the primary filming location of the original 1980 Friday the thirteenth movie.
00:01:36
Brandon
um It says that it is because the site is an active Boy Scout camp, access is strictly limited to ticketed guests during the official tour dates. And the tour dates that I am seeing right now, ah it looks like there are three of them for 2026. One is on Friday the which is March thirteenth And the other dates are one in the summer, one in the fall. The summer date is June 7th, and the fall date is October the 11th. And ah the one thing that, I mean, this sounds really cool to me. I mean, what do you think, Doc?
00:02:22
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, I mean, I've heard about the ones that they usually put on in October, but it's nice that they're doing one Friday the 13th as well.
00:02:29
Brandon
Yeah, yeah, Friday 13th is like a winter thing, but the one thing that I find a little bit um fucked about this, I guess, is that it seems incredibly pricey. Like, for example...
00:02:44
Brandon
um It says the extended tour is between and all right, this is I don't know if this is officially from the site. I did. um I'm doing like an AI overview.
00:02:56
Brandon
So forgive me if there's some errors in here.
00:02:59
Kevin Dougherty
Oh, there probably is with AI.
00:02:59
Brandon
But.
00:03:00
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah.
00:03:00
Brandon
maybe Maybe. It says it's all sourced from the official ah Crystal Lake Tour site. um There's links to the site. And I mean, but the extended tour, it says it's between $150 and $170. And it says what you get for that is a full-length tour, visiting all filming locations at the campus. including cabins, lakefront, and archery range.
00:03:28
Brandon
And that sounds like it's one package. And then it says lakefront tour, and that's $100. And that the description for that is a shorter session focused on the location surrounding the lake. And that sounds incredibly
VIP Experience and Tour Costs Discussion
00:03:45
Brandon
pricey to me. um And then the winter screening, which is going to be on Friday the 13th, March 13th, It says movie screening slash winter exploration, ah special winter events, including a movie screening on location, which sounds like the coolest thing that I would be into.
00:04:06
Brandon
But it says the pricing for that is between $75 $95.
00:04:12
Kevin Dougherty
Jesus.
00:04:12
Brandon
So, I mean, that just sounds... And then you had mentioned, ah you know, it would make a little bit more sense if it was like an overnight event. And now I'm looking and it says VIP overnight experience includes a full tour, dinner, movie screening, and an overnight stay in the camp's cabins.
00:04:27
Kevin Dougherty
Ooh.
00:04:37
Brandon
So if that's the case, that's dope. I would pay...
00:04:41
Kevin Dougherty
How much is that one?
00:04:43
Brandon
what's ah It does not have a price for that.
00:04:44
Kevin Dougherty
it doesn't say okay
00:04:45
Brandon
So what I would um encourage people to do, if you're interested in any of this, if you're in the area or you're planning on being in the area, either March 13th, June 7th, or October 11th, I highly recommend that you visit the official Crystal Lake Tours website.
00:05:05
Brandon
Just do a simple Google search. And you should get all your information about that. But, I mean, if it is overnight dinner, movie screening, and a full tour, I think I'd pay $150 that.
00:05:20
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, yeah, that sounds pretty good.
00:05:21
Brandon
I mean, yeah, I guess even going up to $175, but that says it's like a VIP thing, and it didn't even have pricing. So I wouldn't be surprised if that's like a $250 to $300 based on the other pricing.
00:05:37
Brandon
I mean, if they're charging $100 for just a tour of the fucking lake, it's a short thing.
00:05:41
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah.
00:05:43
Brandon
is i mean i um i mean, that sounds incredibly pricey to me, but, um you know... If it was, you know, if it was like $150 to $175 and it included an overnight stay, dinner, movie screens, full tour, I think that would be really fucking cool.
00:06:01
Brandon
I mean, you know, I mean, yeah that's, it's ah going to be a very exclusive event with only three dates.
00:06:02
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah.
00:06:07
Brandon
um You know, so, I mean, ah for me, spending between $150 and $200, I could see that being justified.
Brandon's Interest in VIP Tour
00:06:15
Brandon
But anything less than that. It just sounds like it's a little bit, a little bit pricey, but Hey, you know, if you're a real big fan of ah Friday, the 13th series, and you're as excited as I am about the ah resurgence of the whole, um you know, the whole franchise that maybe that is worth it to you.
00:06:37
Brandon
You know I mean? Like, I guess it's, subjective, you know, if you, if you have the money and you're that pumped up, like by all means, but, um, yeah, I would, uh, again, go to the official site.
00:06:48
Brandon
Maybe I have things wrong. I literally just found out about this, um, about 10 minutes before we started to cast. So if I have some errors in there, I apologize, but, uh, I think it's really cool.
00:07:02
Brandon
I'm certainly going to do a little bit, uh, more research and, uh, maybe I'll go out there with some friends, some specially, especially interested as long as the weather improves a little bit because it's been very cold this winter in New Jersey.
00:07:17
Brandon
But ah um the Friday the thirteenth on March I would be very interested in doing the VIP thing and staying overnight in the cabins.
00:07:28
Brandon
And I think, I think that would be a really good time weather permitting. And, you know, as long as they don't like charge like something like $500 or something like that, like I get, I get, I get, I get see, you know, dropping between 150 and $200 on
00:07:38
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, right. Yeah.
00:07:46
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah.
00:07:47
Brandon
Yeah, especially like, you know, something to do like with your girlfriend or something like that. Or if you're in like a group of friends and something like that. And like, you know, you guys maybe, I don't know how, if they do like party rates, like group rates, like maybe you guys could get your own cabin or something like that. That that would be a lot of fun, I think.
00:08:05
Brandon
So anyway, but that is, yeah.
00:08:05
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah. yeah man If I lived in Jersey, I'd be we'd be going up there guaranteed.
00:08:11
Brandon
Oh yeah. A hundred percent.
00:08:11
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah.
00:08:12
Brandon
Yeah. it It would, it would be something I'm um'm actually going talk to a couple of friends of mine tomorrow about this.
00:08:12
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah.
00:08:20
Brandon
I'm going do a little bit more research on the official site and see if I could get some pricing. It says it looks like you can do like online tickets and stuff like that. So, uh, yeah, but anyway, if you you are in the area and that sounds appealing to you, uh, please visit the, uh, Crystal Lake tours website.
00:08:38
Brandon
Uh,
00:08:38
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, they probably will sell out too because I know the ones when they announce it and in October, they sell out fast.
00:08:42
Brandon
Yeah, it infers that they're selling very rapidly so that, you know, you're going to want to take advantage of this.
00:08:47
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah.
00:08:51
Brandon
The only thing that I'm a little bit surprised is that being that it's like a New Jersey local event, I haven't seen like any like promotion of it. Um, in like, you know, I haven't seen like commercials on TV or anything like that. Um, you know, I haven't gotten, I had to, you know, actively look into this. I didn't get like a pop-up on my newsfeed because I generally get news alerts for like Crystal Lake stuff. So this was something that I had to like proactively search out myself.
00:09:21
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, it seems like they probably don't need to advertise on TV for something like that.
00:09:25
Brandon
Yeah.
00:09:25
Kevin Dougherty
Like, just just hit up social media is is the way to go for something like this.
00:09:27
Brandon
Yeah. Yeah. but That's true.
00:09:29
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah.
00:09:30
Brandon
Yeah, I'm not on social media. So yeah, you have a point there.
00:09:31
Kevin Dougherty
yeah
00:09:33
Brandon
It's probably on like Facebook and Twitter and stuff like that.
00:09:36
Kevin Dougherty
and Instagram. Yeah.
00:09:37
Brandon
Yeah, true.
00:09:37
Kevin Dougherty
yeah
00:09:38
Brandon
Yeah, true.
00:09:38
Kevin Dougherty
Cool.
00:09:38
Brandon
Yeah, that's, that's fair enough. I'm ah a lot more... um uh, socially reclusive in my, ah online presence these days.
00:09:48
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah.
00:09:49
Brandon
So, uh, anyway, but, um, aside from that, that's pretty much all the news I have. Kev, you want to, uh, lead us off and talk about some, uh, upcoming films and television shows in 2026 that you've been, uh, anticipating?
2026 Horror Film Anticipation
00:10:05
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, because ah considering we talked about this recently with last year being kind of like mid at best with like not as many releases, there's been a whole like spew of of things this year that like I keep seeing.
00:10:21
Kevin Dougherty
And they actually have dates, too, that I'm like, oh, I'm interested in that. Oh, I'm interested interested I mean, I hope to.
00:10:25
Brandon
Yeah, you posted a pretty epic list.
00:10:26
Kevin Dougherty
obviously... Yeah, i I hope they're always good, too. And these are just like mostly my horror with a couple like ah sci-fi in there. this It doesn't even include like all the other like you know action and and comedy movies. Well, mostly action movies that I go see as well. ah Yeah, I didn't include those in this list. But like there's only been one that I've missed so far this year that I wanted to see, which was Night Patrol.
00:10:56
Kevin Dougherty
Um, and cause it only, it only lasted like a week in, uh, theaters cause it was like pretty low budget and it, uh, you know, just barely got, um, distribution.
00:11:07
Kevin Dougherty
um So I guess they were only able to keep it in for a week. I mean, it's available on like, ah you know, on demand now, but I'll probably wait until it's like available somewhere to watch. But it's got, it's got, um it's it's got our boy fucking, God damn it. What's his name?
00:11:25
Kevin Dougherty
He always dies and fucking everything. Justin Long.
00:11:29
Brandon
Oh, just so long.
00:11:30
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah. Yeah.
00:11:31
Brandon
He does a really good job dying.
00:11:34
Kevin Dougherty
yeah yeah yeah
00:11:35
Brandon
Or, you know, if he doesn't die, he usually, like, suffers, like, really badly. I just got, like, an image of the end of the movie Tusk, where, you know, he becomes walrus.
00:11:45
Kevin Dougherty
yeah yeah yeah sometimes he doesn't die but like yeah
00:11:47
Brandon
He goes, oh, he goes, oh, I mean, he definitely wanted people to kill him. But, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:11:56
Kevin Dougherty
sometimes yeah sometimes lives he just goes through some shit and fucking survives in the end and like he's probably like man i kind of wish i'd died
00:12:04
Brandon
He definitely wished he died in a while. I mean, objectively, going full walrus might have been worse than like slowly dying at the hands of the creep.
00:12:18
Brandon
I mean, it's it's a toss-up because it sounded like the Creeper was like eating him alive at the end of Jeepers Creepers. But again, like at least he did get to die and he didn't have to live the rest of his life as a walrus.
00:12:26
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah.
00:12:33
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah.
00:12:33
Brandon
um you know But you know I guess it really depends.
00:12:36
Kevin Dougherty
know that Yeah. The ah description of this ah looks like it's a vampire movie, but it's ah an L.A. cop discovers a local task force is hiding a secret that puts the residents of his childhood neighborhood in danger.
00:12:51
Brandon
That sounds interesting.
00:12:52
Kevin Dougherty
Smart. Yeah, um and I thought it got decent people, at least people that i had seen it had talked about
00:13:02
Brandon
And is that out now or is that coming?
00:13:02
Kevin Dougherty
man
00:13:05
Kevin Dougherty
it. I mean, it came out in January, but it was only out for a week. So it's on on demand now, so you can rent it or buy it. ah but it' So it's not out on ah anything else right now.
00:13:13
Brandon
Oh, okay.
00:13:17
Kevin Dougherty
But I'll let you know when it becomes available on ah a streaming service or something. Because it's something I want to check out. ah One of the other ones I happened to miss was a Primate.
00:13:31
Kevin Dougherty
But I wasn't that excited to see it because I saw the trailer and I was like, oh, it's just Cujo with a monkey, basically.
00:13:37
Brandon
I saw the trail or two and it's just like, eh.
00:13:40
Kevin Dougherty
But like I've heard a lot of people say, oh, this is this is good. It's a lot of fun. so I'm like, all right, I guess I'll check it out. But um it wasn't one I really needed to rush to to go see in theaters. I missed the, I didn't see the Return to Silent Hill, the third ah movie in that franchise. I've heard that wasn't that great.
00:13:58
Brandon
Yeah.
00:13:58
Kevin Dougherty
um The Whistle, I don't really know anything about. That also came out as well. The ones I did see that came out in January were 28 years later Bone Temple.
00:14:10
Kevin Dougherty
um which i do I did kind of enjoy that one. It was it's kind of like fucking Ray Fiennes was just kind of getting high with that fucking zombie with the dick with his dick out.
00:14:22
Kevin Dougherty
Like half the movie.
00:14:24
Brandon
That that and that um occurs like right after the events of 28 Years Later that week.
00:14:32
Kevin Dougherty
Yes.
00:14:33
Brandon
Yeah, so it's like a direct sequel occurring right after.
00:14:34
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, yeah. Correct sequel to that, yeah, yeah. Yeah, mostly follows Ralph Fiennes
00:14:43
Brandon
Zombie way to stick out.
00:14:43
Kevin Dougherty
and that zombie with his dick out. And then the other half of the story is those jimmies and that that kid. And they like you know come to the head. I mean, I enjoyed it. I thought that despite the jimmies being real fucking stupid at the end of the last movie, I thought they were pretty fucking brutal in this one.
00:15:02
Kevin Dougherty
Like, yeah.
00:15:02
Brandon
oh
00:15:03
Kevin Dougherty
and ah And there was a good ah good scene at the end where um Ray Fiennes kind of puts on this Number of the Beast ah Iron Maiden performance. that That was one of the highlights of the movie for me. Yeah.
00:15:22
Kevin Dougherty
that I saw, I mean, it's definitely more of a comedy, but the Anaconda movie, it's with Jack Black and Paul Rudd, and they set out to remake Anaconda.
00:15:35
Brandon
Oh, so Anaconda, the reboot is actually a story of them rebooting Anaconda?
00:15:45
Kevin Dougherty
Yes, yeah. so yeah and like they So they set out to the jungle to fucking shoot the movie on like no budget.
00:15:47
Brandon
That's dope.
00:15:55
Kevin Dougherty
and And then like they have this snake, and the snake accidentally like gets killed in one of the scenes, so they have to like go into the jungle to find a new anaconda. And then there is an anaconda there. and them It's fucking hilarious.
00:16:09
Brandon
It sounds dangerous.
00:16:10
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, it was it was fucking fun. it It was funny. I really enjoyed it. Yeah, I
00:16:16
Brandon
kind of It kind of sounds like ah that performance Jack Black did. what I think he when he was going after King Kong and he was trying to document it, wasn't he in one of the King Kong movies?
00:16:27
Kevin Dougherty
yeah think it was just called King Kong. Yeah.
00:16:28
Brandon
Yeah, yeah, something like that.
00:16:29
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah. yeah
00:16:30
Brandon
Yeah, i ah yeah, yeah. That sounds good.
00:16:32
Kevin Dougherty
That was... ah
00:16:32
Brandon
And that's just called that's just called Anaconda?
00:16:35
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah. Yeah.
00:16:36
Brandon
Okay, yeah, that's so I had not heard about that at all.
00:16:37
Kevin Dougherty
So, yeah.
00:16:41
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah.
00:16:41
Brandon
um And and that's is that in theaters now or is that ah streaming?
00:16:46
Kevin Dougherty
It's probably demand-ish at this point.
00:16:49
Brandon
Gotcha.
00:16:50
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, because these are the ones I saw that came out in January. So they're not on streaming services yet.
00:16:55
Brandon
Gotcha.
00:16:56
Kevin Dougherty
So um another one that I saw that you might be able to find in theaters is ah Iron Lung.
Movie Reviews: Iron Lung and Send Help
00:17:02
Kevin Dougherty
Now, I did not like this movie at all. I know a lot of people did. But it's based on a video game. And it's done by this YouTube streamer Markiplier.
00:17:13
Kevin Dougherty
that I don't know anything about, but apparently he, like, streams a bunch of video games. But it's basically, like, Markiplier?
00:17:17
Brandon
Yeah, I'm not familiar.
00:17:20
Kevin Dougherty
That's his YouTube name, anyway. Like,
00:17:22
Brandon
Yeah, I... i'm not familiar
00:17:25
Kevin Dougherty
he shot it for, like, maybe, like, $3 million, dollars and it made, like, $20 million so far, or something like that. So, I mean, good on him for, like that like, his fans really pushed to get this put in theaters, and they found distribution, put it out in theaters, and it made a ton of money. but Good on him, but, like,
00:17:44
Brandon
I mean, I don' like the idea of that. I mean, I think that's cool. I mean, you know, people that like talk about like supporting like independent fucking cinema and themmon shit like that.
00:17:55
Brandon
I mean, that's about as independent as you're going to get. Yeah.
00:17:59
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, exactly. ah Yeah, I mean, I thought it was a little too long. And like it was a lot of like repeating some of the same dialogue over and over. and and like But ah it's basically like it. I mean, I thought the setup was cool. It was like um it takes place in a world where like all the stars have disappeared. and they're on this other planet with a blood ocean, and like he gets into his sub, and like he has to go like search on like on this blood ocean, and he's like a prisoner. so But the whole thing takes place on this sub, and it's not a very big set, and I thought it looked kind of poorly made. It kind of looked like an escape room, if anything.
00:18:38
Kevin Dougherty
And he kind of presses a few buttons, and then he goes and hits a button to take a picture, then he's like, can I go back up now? I've done my part. And they're like, no, you got to go do this now. And then it's just like, okay, I did that.
00:18:49
Kevin Dougherty
Can I come back up? And it was just like that for like two hours. And I'm like, come on, dude, like and anything. But I mean, he does like, so he is like slowly ah losing air. So he is like, you've used some of the really cool parts where like, you can see like the, what's happening to his skin when, you know, you lose, start to lose oxygen.
00:19:07
Kevin Dougherty
And like, he does go like a little like crazy shit.
00:19:08
Brandon
Yeah.
00:19:10
Kevin Dougherty
And there were some really cool like cinematography in it and shit too. But like, I thought it could have been an hour shorter, honestly. But, uh,
00:19:18
Brandon
Do you know what the run time was? I mean, it it was like a two-hour run time?
00:19:23
Kevin Dougherty
it was like two hour and like 10 minutes or something like that.
00:19:26
Brandon
No shit.
00:19:26
Kevin Dougherty
It was, yeah.
00:19:27
Brandon
On a $3 million dollar budget? and ah Now, did he get any um
00:19:30
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah.
00:19:34
Brandon
Any actor of any note in that? Or was that all like newcomers?
00:19:37
Kevin Dougherty
It's, it's just him.
00:19:40
Brandon
Oh, it's just him.
00:19:43
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah.
00:19:43
Brandon
The actual YouTuber.
00:19:43
Kevin Dougherty
They're, Yeah, and it's, um there's, no, there's another, there's at least one or other actor that you see at one point, but you just see them through, like, the porthole, and then you hear ah her voice over the intercom.
00:19:46
Brandon
He's the only credited character. Like he's the only actor.
00:19:57
Brandon
Okay.
00:20:01
Kevin Dougherty
So he's talking to the person over the intercom, and, like, she's, like, doing a lot of the heavy lifting of the story building and story dump, too.
00:20:09
Brandon
Okay.
00:20:10
Kevin Dougherty
But it was really, a like, two,
00:20:11
Brandon
So she's kind of doing like a narration type thing or?
00:20:14
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, pretty much. not Not necessarily a narration, but like, yeah like here's what's going on and we have to do this.
00:20:16
Brandon
Okay.
00:20:21
Kevin Dougherty
you know It kind of felt like really heavy handed. And and like I'm a big fan of show, don't tell when it comes to movies. like show me something Show me what's happening instead of telling me the story.
00:20:29
Brandon
Yeah.
00:20:34
Kevin Dougherty
You know what I mean? But yeah, other than that, yeah like I said, it could have been like an hour shorter.
00:20:41
Brandon
Yeah, but I mean, it it sounds like for what it was and, you know, just in the spirit of like, you know, independent somebody going out and doing that, like overall, like you're glad that like you had like a decent reception, even though that wasn't really your cup of tea.
00:20:55
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah. yeah Yeah. Yeah. I mean, i think most of the people that are going to like this are going to be fans of his and like watched him on and like watched him on YouTube and stuff like that.
00:21:03
Brandon
Yeah, yeah.
00:21:06
Kevin Dougherty
Like I didn't know anything about him or really about the movie except for the basic plot before I went in. So and I like doing that because like I didn't see a trailer or anything. I like to go in cold for for movies like that.
00:21:18
Kevin Dougherty
So i have no bias. Yeah. But yeah, i just I just didn't really enjoy it. It was it was frustrating a few times in the movie. And I heard some other kids who were like, it was like a younger, like that that probably watched them on YouTube. I definitely heard them go like, I didn't get it at the end. And I was like, well, I like i didn't say this to them, but like I understood what was happening. it was just, you know, it was just kept happening over and over. it was just like almost repeating the same dialogue to me over and over.
00:21:49
Kevin Dougherty
And it it was just really fu and annoying that way. But I understood, like, the whole world building and what was happening in the movie. Like, I got i got all that. So, but, yeah. Anyway, moving on. um I did also see Sam Raimi's new movie, Send Help.
00:22:05
Kevin Dougherty
I thought that was pretty good. It's with the... Oh, what is... I'm sorry, I didn't have this one prepared. Yeah.
00:22:15
Brandon
So, cut. We are non-scripted here at Fright Center.
00:22:18
Kevin Dougherty
right But it's basically two people, ah you know, Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien. They're ah on a plane and they get stranded on ah on an island.
00:22:29
Kevin Dougherty
And i ah he's the he was the boss in the office and, like, she was trying to get partner, but they're, like, kind of passing her up on partner. And they get on this island and he's kind of injured and she, like...
00:22:42
Kevin Dougherty
Kind of takes control of everything because she knows how to do all this because she wanted to like get on Survivor and stuff. So she knows how to like you know survive and in this in this environment. and like So she so she's you know she becomes the boss on the island. And it was it was really it was really cool I really liked it.
00:23:00
Brandon
Naked and Afraid.
00:23:01
Kevin Dougherty
And
00:23:02
Brandon
yeah.
Kevin's Zombie Flick Review and Recommendations
00:23:03
Brandon
but but
00:23:06
Kevin Dougherty
and then I also saw a Cold Storage with ah Steve the Hare Harrington. from Stranger Things, although they mop his hair down.
00:23:14
Brandon
oh yeah
00:23:17
Kevin Dougherty
he he really wasn't rocking a good hair style for this. It also had a Liam Neeson. i mean, this could have been a straight to a Netflix movie as far as I'm concerned.
00:23:29
Kevin Dougherty
I mean, was the was it fine? Yeah, it was like it it it was funny. It was basically like um the um it used to be an army base and there was like they have this fungus down in the you know down in cold storage, but you know, Because of the you know the change in environment over the years, it's kind of unleashed this fungus that kind of grows and infects people and animals and creatures and stuff.
00:23:57
Kevin Dougherty
So it's starting to get out. Liam Neeson was the um old army guy that was like in charge of when they first found it. And he's the one that locked it up. So he knows what to do. So he's coming to like stop this and everything.
00:24:10
Kevin Dougherty
And yeah.
00:24:10
Brandon
He's using this particular set skills.
00:24:11
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah. I mean, I thought it was and i thought it was entertaining, but like I don't think it'll make my top 10 list, that's for sure. At the end. like it It was a short 90-minute movie, so it was it was it was a cool watch, but like I said, it probably didn't need to go to theaters.
00:24:26
Kevin Dougherty
Probably could have just been like a Netflix straight-to-video release.
00:24:30
Brandon
Yeah, what you're describing kind of sounds like that. Yeah, yeah.
00:24:34
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, it was a fun little zombie flick. I mean, there was there's definitely plenty of funny parts and some good gore, but like other than that, was like,
00:24:40
Brandon
and tons fungus.
00:24:41
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah. And then my favorite ah one that I saw. and the ah Actually, um Send Help and Cold Storage you can still find in theaters. And then my favorite, and this is going to be definitely in my top five for this year, is Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die.
00:24:59
Kevin Dougherty
And it's Gore Vrabalski, who did ah the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. And it's Sam Rockwell. And it's basically like a sci-fi horror dark comedy is the best way to put it, I guess.
00:25:13
Brandon
really
00:25:13
Kevin Dougherty
and And I won't spoil anything, but and that's not in the trailers anyway. But it's Sam Rockwell is from the future and he's come back to recruit people in this diner to help stop AI from taking over.
00:25:29
Kevin Dougherty
And this shit gets real fucking, like, some of the fucking comedies are fucking real dark. Like, like i don't even want to fucking say anything, but some of that fucking shit, they fucking, like, some of the subject matter is fucking like, oh shit, they fucking went there? Like, alright.
00:25:48
Kevin Dougherty
and But yeah, it and it gets real weird, too. And I thought it was just such a blast and in theaters, too. And it was only like a $20 million dollars picture, so So it wasn't wasn't a huge blog post, but Sam sam Rockwell just just fucking steals the show.
00:26:01
Brandon
Nice. Yeah, I haven't seen Sam much as of late.
00:26:05
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah.
00:26:06
Brandon
I don't know if he's just been doing stuff that I haven't been ah been checking out or if he you know hasn't been as active ah lately.
00:26:16
Brandon
But ah I'm a real big fan of his. So, yeah.
00:26:19
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, yeah. And it has a Juno Temple as well. and And Michael Pina was the other big name that I saw in there too.
00:26:22
Brandon
Oh, nice. Nice.
00:26:27
Brandon
Juno Temple. She's so hot right now.
00:26:29
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah.
00:26:29
Brandon
Juno Temple.
00:26:30
Kevin Dougherty

00:26:41
Kevin Dougherty
Those three just came out. like Well, Send Help was maybe a week ago, two weeks ago, and um the other two just came out this past weekend. so But I highly recommend Good ah good Luck. ah Sorry. Yeah. Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die.
00:26:57
Kevin Dougherty
that's That's a highly recommended one.
00:26:58
Brandon
Have don't die.
00:27:00
Kevin Dougherty
Won't die. It's a good sign-off, too.
00:27:01
Brandon
Yeah.
00:27:04
Brandon
Yeah, yeah, yeah, sounds it.
2026 Film and TV Release Previews
00:27:06
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah. And then ah some of the ones I'm looking forward to are ah this psycho killer movie coming up. It's basically a police officer tracks a killer after her husband becomes one of the victims.
00:27:20
Kevin Dougherty
And, yeah, it looks very... And it's got Malcolm McDowell in it, which is always a good thing. And yeah, it just it looks kind of like a almost a 7-ish style movie. it's ah's It's kind of hard to explain. I mean, it does say from the Twisted Mind writer 7 and 8 millimeter.
00:27:45
Brandon
They always like to turn from the twisted mind of Stephen King.
00:27:48
Kevin Dougherty
From Twisted Mind, yeah. Mm-hmm.
00:27:49
Brandon
You know. Yeah. Yeah.
00:27:54
Kevin Dougherty
But did he even write this or is it from one of, you know, sometimes they say that and it's like, they end up just producing it. They don't really have much to do. Like, I hate the ones that are like from the producers of, or like the even worse from the studio that brought you. And it's like, that means nothing to me. Give me a writer or director.
00:28:15
Brandon
in a world no
00:28:16
Kevin Dougherty
But that comes out on the 20th. And then the following week we get Scream 7. I don't need to explain that one to anybody. ah we get Monarch Season 2 that comes out March 27th on Apple Plus.
00:28:34
Kevin Dougherty
i For people who don't know, that's the Godzilla series that's on Apple. Then we've got The Bride, which comes out on March 6th.
00:28:46
Kevin Dougherty
And that's a you know Frankenstein's Bride. and's Written and directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal, and it stars Jesse Buckley and Christian Mayle.
00:28:58
Brandon
Interesting.
00:28:59
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah.
00:28:59
Brandon
Yeah, i I knew that Maggie Gyllenhaal had been, i had heard that, now this is not her directorial debut though, right? She's, or is this?
00:29:10
Brandon
Do you know? i'm just I'm just curious. I mean, it's not really ah that big of a deal. I mean, I know that um she she has written a lot of the stuff, too. I mean, she she's a very multi-talented, multifaceted individual.
00:29:25
Brandon
I was just curious as to whether or not it is her directorial debut.
00:29:25
Kevin Dougherty
It looks like she... It looks like she directed one episode of um a TV miniseries called Homemade and then a movie called The Lost Daughter, which came out in 2021.
00:29:40
Brandon
Oh, yeah, I think that was the one where she had a British accent. I'm not sure. I could be mistaken, though.
00:29:46
Kevin Dougherty
It's got...
00:29:47
Brandon
but
00:29:47
Kevin Dougherty
ah Well, no, Maggie Gyllenhaal's not in it. She just wrote and directed it. It's with... a With...
00:29:51
Brandon
Oh, okay. And I'm thinking of something totally different.
00:29:52
Kevin Dougherty
a It's got Jesse Buckley as well and Olivia Colman, Decatur Johnson, Peter Skarsgård. So it's got a very ah pretty good cast.
00:30:02
Brandon
And... Joan Hall solely directs this. She does not star in this film that you're talking about, right?
00:30:08
Kevin Dougherty
No, she just wrote and directed it.
00:30:09
Brandon
Okay.
00:30:11
Kevin Dougherty
And it takes place in nineteen thirty s Chicago. And Frankenstein asks Dr. Euphornius to help create a companion. And they give life to a murdered woman as the bride, sparking romance, police interest, and and radical social change.
00:30:30
Brandon
Huh.
00:30:30
Kevin Dougherty
So yeah.
00:30:31
Brandon
That sounds very interesting. well i ah I'm a fan of Maggie Gyllenhaal's and halls and i'd I'd really like to see what she's put together there. that that does she Does she also have writing credits for this or just?
00:30:42
Kevin Dougherty
Yes, yes.
00:30:43
Kevin Dougherty
She wrote wrote and directed it.
00:30:43
Brandon
Oh, nice.
00:30:44
Brandon
So written and directed in her.
00:30:46
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah.
00:30:46
Brandon
This sounds like it's her like, you know, first like big film now, like, you know.
00:30:51
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah.
00:30:52
Brandon
yeah I mean, you could say that this is going to be her real directorial debut in terms of like, you know, putting something that has like a substantial budget behind it, I'm guessing.
00:31:03
Kevin Dougherty
ah So at least a substantial release, that's for sure.
00:31:06
Brandon
Yeah. And I mean, it sounds like she she um has also attracted some decent acting talent. So, yeah. Well, that's that's something I'm going to pumped about. I'll definitely check that out.
00:31:16
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, it also has Penelope Cruz, Peter Skarsgård, Annette Bening, and Jake Gyllenhaal as well in this.
00:31:23
Brandon
Oh, nice. Well, of course she had to bring her fucking brother involved. So, yeah.
00:31:28
Kevin Dougherty
Hey, Jake Gyllenhaal is great, man.
00:31:29
Brandon
Eh.
00:31:31
Brandon
Eh.
00:31:33
Kevin Dougherty
ah Anyway, moving on. the oh Sorry. until Next week, yeah it's more of a sci-fi project.
00:31:46
Kevin Dougherty
Well, not even the next week, sorry. It's ah the 20th is Project Hail Mary. I believe this is just strictly like sci-fi, space sci-fi, but it's ah basically um Ryan Gosling is, ah you know, sent, um you know, on a mission to stop a mysterious substance from killing the sun and save Earth.
00:32:09
Kevin Dougherty
And like i've been avoiding most of the I've been avoiding most of the trailers for this because apparently there's like huge spoilers in it.
00:32:11
Brandon
This
00:32:17
Kevin Dougherty
But everybody like really has been talking about how great the book is and they're looking forward to this. It's by ah Lord and Miller. and it's written by Drew Gardett.
00:32:28
Brandon
this is Project Hail Mary.
00:32:30
Kevin Dougherty
Project Hail Mary, yeah. So, and if you know who Lord and Miller is, they did the the Lego movie and the Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse and Across the Spider-Verse movies.
00:32:42
Brandon
Yeah, ah I'm not personally familiar, but.
00:32:46
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah. But ah yeah, they're they're a pretty big name. And it looks, I mean, it looks, from the first trailer I saw, looks pretty cool. But yeah, that's more of a strictly like space sci-fi one than, I don't know how much of a horror movie it's, or how much horror it's going to be in there, but I just thought it was worth ah worth mentioning.
00:33:01
Brandon
Yeah.
00:33:04
Brandon
Yeah. The next one you have is something I'm interested in. Go ahead. Continue.
00:33:08
Kevin Dougherty
Writer or not 2, yeah.
00:33:10
Brandon
Yeah, ah because I really liked the first one. I actually um had rewatched it with ah my ah friend the other night. She had not seen it. And it was ah really got a kick out this part. I had forgotten about where the guy was looking. He was like in the bathroom and he was like looking on his phone. It was like, Packs with the devil, real or bullshit. And fucking, it just, ah you know, that, that always like really cracked me up. I thought that movie was lot fun.
00:33:42
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, and ah speaking of a Ready or Not 2, there's another movie that's coming out that sounds very similar to it. It comes out maybe like a week later on the 27th is They Will Kill You.
00:33:57
Kevin Dougherty
and it's with Zazie Beetz, and she's in a ah she gets hired as a maid in this hotel. And the hotel is run by you know some death cult that that tries to like kill her for a ritual.
00:34:11
Kevin Dougherty
And she, you know, go goes and starts fucking like murdering everybody. lot it And it looks a lot of fucking fun too. So I think if you like right or not, I think they will kill you is also right up the same alley for this one as well.
00:34:25
Brandon
that Yeah, that's that definitely something.
00:34:25
Kevin Dougherty
most fla
00:34:27
Brandon
Yeah, i was i was I thought the first movie was just a lot of fun. You know what I mean?
00:34:30
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah. Yeah. It might be a good double feature since they come out like almost right next to each other.
00:34:36
Brandon
ah Just out of curiosity, do you know if the second film is going to include like – the ah like Do you know if it's like a direct sequel to the first film?
00:34:51
Brandon
Because at the end of the first film, almost everyone dies.
00:34:52
Kevin Dougherty
Yes.
00:34:55
Kevin Dougherty
Yes. So...
00:34:56
Brandon
So I'm wondering if the, um I can't think of the name of the actress that ah played the bride that got away, but I'm assuming she's going be back in it.
00:35:03
Kevin Dougherty
Samara Weaving. Yes, Samara Weaven's back. It pretty much takes place right after the last one. She is now like ah kidnapped by like this group of of like you know heads of different families.
00:35:19
Kevin Dougherty
And they now, like it's like round two but pretty much. and like if she if if she survives the night, she ends up controlling pretty much like all of the heads. So pretty much the you know she controls like all those these really powerful families. So pretty much the world.
00:35:35
Kevin Dougherty
And like they're all trying to fucking kill her. And it's awful.
00:35:41
Brandon
so So it turns out that like a whole bunch of families had packs with the devil too. And like, they like, and So that like family was just like one faction in like a whole cog of people that like had a similar thing going with the devil where they all played the same type of game.
00:35:58
Kevin Dougherty
yeah yeah they're pretty much going to be uh they're pretty much hunting her down as well and it's also um and the way they drag her back into it is like they have like she's you know attached like her they bring her sister into it as well who's played by katherine newton so
00:36:15
Brandon
Oh, shit. So, they're like, a it's like a whole cabal.
00:36:18
Kevin Dougherty
yeah pretty much and it's got the fucking elijah wood and sarah michelle geller as well and and and
00:36:23
Brandon
Oh, no shit.
00:36:25
Kevin Dougherty
Kevin Duran, and it looks like David Cronenberg is starring in this as well.
00:36:27
Brandon
I haven't really fucking seen anything with Sarah Michelle Gellar in a really long time.
00:36:37
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah.
00:36:37
Brandon
Huh. I'll have to – I'll definitely plan that because now that I know it's like a whole cabal.
00:36:38
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah.
00:36:44
Brandon
don't know. i'm I'm nervous. I have an interview next week with the Christmas Adventurers. I'm trying to ah become a member.
00:36:53
Kevin Dougherty
From one battle after another?
00:36:54
Brandon
i yeah they're they're They're considering me. I'm just not sure if I'm going to make it. I'm pretty nervous.
00:37:00
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, I think you might have had some interracial ah relationship in the past.
00:37:01
Brandon
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They asked me. I denied it, but yeah, there has been a lot of interracial um outreach in my past.
00:37:14
Brandon
So, yep, yeah.
00:37:15
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, they don't they don't like that at all.
00:37:15
Brandon
yeah Uh-uh. So, anyway.
00:37:18
Kevin Dougherty
if you don't know what you're talking If you don't know what we're talking about, it's from one battle after another.
00:37:23
Brandon
I'm just saying, i I just think I'd say, I don't know.
00:37:25
Kevin Dougherty
<unk>
00:37:26
Brandon
You know, that Christmas is, I want to be a Christmas adventure.
00:37:32
Kevin Dougherty
ah
00:37:32
Brandon
Hail St. Nick.
00:37:33
Kevin Dougherty
But yeah, Raider or Not 2 and They Will Kill You, I think would make a good double feature um if you want to just spend money on one and go see the other, if that's little a thing people do anymore It's kind of harder these days when you have to pick your own seat. but ah But some of the other ones coming out in between there is the the other American Godzilla, X-Kong, Supernova.
00:38:00
Kevin Dougherty
Then we've got ah For All Mankind Season 5.
00:38:02
Brandon
Welcome forward. That's probably my most anticipated thing. Cause I'm actually rewatching. Um, I just rewatched, uh, over the last couple weeks, the first two seasons of for all mankind. So i got two more to go. I'm kind trying to kind of time it so that, uh, You know, um I'm going wait till ah the season has like fully come out and then I'm going to try to binge it. It's been one of my favorite shows over the last few years. I just think ah that their ability to really keep the cast together, you know, they kill off certain characters. I thought they've all been like very appropriate kill offs. And, um, but I just think it's very well written, very well acted. Uh, I think that the, uh, effects have been really great. Uh, yeah, I'm, I'm very excited about it.
00:38:53
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah. And ah yeah, I am too. um I mean, it's, it's
00:38:58
Brandon
And I mean, that's just, it's just, uh, another thing. I mean, Apple, like, you know, Apple really, their content has just been spectacular.
00:39:03
Kevin Dougherty
yeah.
00:39:07
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, I mean, it's it is ah one of those that's way more sci-fi than horror, but i we're talking we're talking about it.
00:39:12
Brandon
yeah Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:39:14
Kevin Dougherty
it's It's fucking worth fucking checking out. ah
00:39:17
Brandon
Yeah, yeah.
00:39:18
Kevin Dougherty
And then I have The Boys on here. This is the final season. I mean, it is more of a a superhero show, but it is like, what if superheroes were controlled by, you know, um weren't they weren't necessarily controlled by, but what if they were evil? but You know what I mean? like And it's real gory.
00:39:36
Kevin Dougherty
and it's it's funny, and it's ridiculous.
00:39:40
Brandon
So it's like more like gore than horror, like just gore to, you know, intentionally unnecessary gore.
00:39:44
Kevin Dougherty
It's...
00:39:48
Kevin Dougherty
yeah Yeah. And I think if you if think if you're not a superhero fan, and like it's worth watching anyway, because the it's really good.
00:39:50
Brandon
That's fine.
00:39:57
Brandon
Yeah, no, it it sounds like it could be for people that like are not a real big fan of the superhero.
00:40:03
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, yeah.
00:40:04
Brandon
Yeah, that that that sounds interesting.
00:40:06
Kevin Dougherty
It's almost like, what if the Justice League were a bunch of fucking pricks and assholes? And then it's got, like, Karl Urban and... um Oh, what is that kid's name? the Isn't he the ah son of... Oh, Jack Quaid.
00:40:26
Kevin Dougherty
The son of Dennis Quaid.
00:40:29
Brandon
Quaid, open your mind, Quaid.
00:40:30
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah.
00:40:33
Brandon
Open your mind.
00:40:34
Kevin Dougherty
Not that great. It was Jack Quaid. And yeah, like the opening scene of that is like Jack Quaid, like, you know, like, you know, standing on like the curb ah of a street, like, you know, saying like, like talking to his girlfriend or like kissing his girlfriend.
00:40:49
Kevin Dougherty
And then one of like the the speedsters runs by and just runs right through her. And she just explodes. So like he teams up with Carl Urban to help bring down these superhero groups. And it's got like this one character that's called the Deep that like is in love with this octopus. He's like the Aquaman. And he like he like fucks an octopus and shit. there's like There's like the evil Superman and shit.
00:41:16
Brandon
Well, that...
00:41:18
Kevin Dougherty
There's like the whole like ah white supremacist superheroes and shit too. It's fucking hilarious. And it's fucking worth fucking checking out. ah So I needed to mention that.
00:41:31
Kevin Dougherty
but And then coming up on AMC Plus is the third season of Interview with Vampire, which has been retitled Vampire Lestat. So it's obvious...
00:41:42
Brandon

00:41:50

Brandon
Yeah.
00:41:52

00:42:35
Brandon
Yeah.
00:42:36

Yeah, when they started remaking Interview with the Vampires.
00:42:48
Brandon
Yeah. ah
00:42:53
Kevin Dougherty

00:43:07
Kevin Dougherty

00:43:29
Brandon
Oh, God, they are?
00:43:30
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah. Yeah. So they're bringing back the ah the old cast and everything. i mean, i I doubt he'll be doing as many of his own stunts as he used to, that's for sure.
00:43:38
Brandon
Interesting.
00:43:42
Brandon
Yeah, yeah.
00:43:44
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah. ah
00:43:45
Brandon
Well,
00:43:47
Kevin Dougherty
Then we've got this movie called Mother Mary coming out.
00:43:52
Brandon
I've never heard of that at all. What?
00:43:53
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, it's ah Long Buried Wounds Rise to the Surface When Iconic Pop Star Mother Mary reunites with her restrained best friend and former costume designer on the eve of a comeback performance.
00:44:06
Kevin Dougherty
It's written and directed by David Lowery, who did The Green Knight. don't know if you you ended up seeing that one.
00:44:14
Brandon
I'm not, I'm not familiar.
00:44:15
Kevin Dougherty
all The Green Knight is ah really cool. like It's based on, you know, that that story of the Green Knight from the Knights of the Round Table. And it's like this weird like horror fantasy movie.
00:44:29
Kevin Dougherty
It's really well, like it's like the cinematography is fucking fantastic. And I thought it was a really cool fucking movie. But it's got Anne Hathaway and Hunter Schaefer and Michaela Cole.
00:44:43
Kevin Dougherty
not really familiar with her. But yeah, this I mean, it sounded really interesting. And I really like that director. So going to be checking this out.
00:44:51
Brandon
Anne Hathaway has a special place in my heart. So, yeah, that's going to be.
00:44:54
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah.
00:44:56
Brandon
Oh, and now I think I'm excited with the next one that you have up here.
00:45:03
Kevin Dougherty
From season four?
00:45:05
Brandon
And it's going to be the series finale, correct?
00:45:09
Kevin Dougherty
is Is it or are they doing the movie?
00:45:09
Brandon
This is. I thought that I thought they said that. it
Discussions on TV Series and Show Finales
00:45:14
Kevin Dougherty
Was ending four?
00:45:14
Brandon
Am i I on that?
00:45:15
Kevin Dougherty
Five.
00:45:16
Brandon
I thought we talked about the last one we did the the third season. You yeah, I mean, well, I would say i would have preferred five seasons if season three was maybe a little bit different.
00:45:21
Kevin Dougherty
I mean, I kind of hope they are because i mean, how much longer are they going to like not tell us what the heck is going on?
00:45:36
Brandon
But I thought – you know, we talk – I'm not going to like, ah you know you know, completely – you know, reiterate the entire cast that we did on season three, but, like, we had both talked that season three seemed to kind of stall a bit, and i think we both agreed that it was our least favorite of the seasons. So, I mean, ah there just wasn't very much, like,
00:46:03
Brandon
moving forward in terms of like the whole plot and everything. So, I mean it seems like season four would probably be the time to wrap up, but you never know.
00:46:07
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah.
00:46:15
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, yeah. I'm not completely 100% sure on that. I mean, we'll know closer to the release date. or I'm not going to look it up right now. So, yeah.
00:46:23
Brandon
Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Fair enough.
00:46:25
Kevin Dougherty
But ah I actually had that one down as the to be determined later on, but I think that did get a release date of April on nineteenth That's to be on MGM Plus as well.
00:46:34
Brandon
Okay.
00:46:37
Kevin Dougherty
Then we got Steven Spielberg's new movie, Disclosure Day.
00:46:41
Brandon
Yeah, I heard about this.
00:46:42
Kevin Dougherty
This is like an ah not really an alien invasion movie, but it is like in you know another Spielberg alien movie. Then we've got Evil Dead Burn that comes out on July twenty fourth
00:46:59
Brandon
yeah Yeah, we were talking about this, the last cast, I believe, a little bit.
00:47:03
Kevin Dougherty
Yes, yeah. I mean, I don't need to tell anybody what Evil Dead is about. I don't know what the plot details necessarily are.
00:47:08
Brandon
Yeah. Yeah, you should you should definitely not have to tell anybody anything about Evil Dead. But ah just to interrupt one second, um I did just do a quick pop-up.
00:47:17
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah.
00:47:19
Brandon
And um ah from season four is not yet confirmed to be the final season.
00:47:26
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, yeah.
00:47:27
Brandon
So, you know, take that as you will.
00:47:29
Kevin Dougherty
I feel like if they haven't confirmed it, then they're probably going to do it. That means I don't have it all wrapped up, that means.
00:47:35
Brandon
Yeah, or maybe they're going to let season four roll and see, you know, what kind of viewership they get and stuff like that. And then, you know, depending, they might be 99 it.
00:47:46
Kevin Dougherty
i need to have I need to have an ending, though.
00:47:49
Brandon
Yeah. Yeah.
00:47:50
Kevin Dougherty
I need to have an ending. I can't watch four seasons of this series and then it not have a proper ending going be mad that it left fucking things on'm unresolved.
00:47:58
Brandon
yeah
00:48:01
Brandon
Yeah, inside times, though, you know, I mean, I could definitely see that happening. I could see them just pulling the plug. i hope I hope that doesn't happen anyway. But, yeah, anyway, Evil Dead Burn, I'm pumped about it.
00:48:16
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, then there was a couple that I've just heard about recently, like this Flowervale Street. ah It's got Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor.
00:48:22
Brandon
Yeah, I've never heard of anything. Yeah. Really?
00:48:26
Kevin Dougherty
And it's a family in the 80s start to notice bizarre happenings in their neighborhood.
00:48:27
Brandon
Really?
00:48:33
Kevin Dougherty
And it's written and directed by David Robert Mitchell. And he's the guy who did It Follows.
00:48:41
Brandon
Oh, yeah. Oh, God. Now you mentioned just, God, now I could go on like a huge sidebar, but i i was thinking um I was thinking about this the other day. I was going to bring this up to you.
00:48:53
Brandon
2026, I was thinking that we were going to have the sequel to It Follows, and there doesn't seem to be very much news on that front that I know of.
00:48:57
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, well,
00:49:02
Kevin Dougherty
apparently this is what he was, we all thought that he was going to be doing They Follows next, which would have been the sequel, and apparently this was his next project, so I think he's going to be doing They Follows next after this.
00:49:08
Brandon
Yeah.
00:49:15
Kevin Dougherty
So we're probably not going come out. Yeah, probably.
00:49:15
Brandon
Okay, so that's more going to be like a 2027 thing,
00:49:20
Brandon
if that all
00:49:21
Kevin Dougherty
So, yeah, that's that's one of what I heard about, and I was like, oh, like, i was like, okay, like, okay, it's set in the 80s, bizarre happenings, okay. And then, like, okay, Anne Hathaway, Ewan McGregor, I was like, that's cool. But then when I saw who direct who's writing and directing, was like, okay, now I'm in.
00:49:36
Kevin Dougherty
Like, the guy didn't fucking hit follow. like, I'm on top of that. And then ah that that one's release date is August 14th.
Speculations on Ridley Scott and Resident Evil
00:49:47
Kevin Dougherty
And then August 28th is another one I've just heard about, which is called Dog Stars.
00:49:54
Kevin Dougherty
And it's got ah it's a directed by Ridley Scott, first of all.
00:50:01
Brandon
interesting
00:50:01
Kevin Dougherty
You got that. um It's got Jacob Eldory. He was Frankenstein, the latest Frankenstein movie. He's also, the I think, the lead in with wing Weathering Heights or whatever.
00:50:16
Kevin Dougherty
um But it's got him, it's got Margaret Qualley, Josh Brolin, Guy Pearce, Benedict Wong. so And it's it's set in a post-apocalyptic world where a virus wipes out humanity, survivors face Roman scavengers called Reapers.
00:50:24
Brandon
Margo
00:50:33
Brandon
Of course they do. Fucking. Oh, yeah. i was thinking for I was thinking of the Reapers from Mass Effect. Like, dude, you got real big problems then.
00:50:39
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah.
00:50:42
Brandon
But, ah yeah. Interesting.
00:50:44
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, so yeah that was one I just heard about as well, and like for a Ridley Scott movie to kind of go under the radar. I mean, we we have there's no trailer or anything out for this yet, since it's still a few months away, but well yeah.
00:50:51
Brandon
Yeah. Yeah.
00:50:56
Brandon
Yeah. so So this this is pre-production. This hasn't even started filming yet or?
00:51:02
Kevin Dougherty
Oh, no, no, no, these are all out this year. Yeah, yeah.
00:51:05
Brandon
Oh, OK. Oh, OK. Oh, OK. Gotcha.
00:51:07
Kevin Dougherty
I'm just saying there hasn't been a trailer released yet.
00:51:08
Brandon
Sorry.
00:51:10
Kevin Dougherty
Okay.
00:51:10
Brandon
Yeah, these are the 2020. This is the list of 2026 releases.
00:51:14
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, these are all things that are filmed and are definitely coming out.
00:51:15
Brandon
Sorry about that. Yeah, i so I apologize.
00:51:17
Kevin Dougherty
this year Yeah. Yeah,
00:51:20
Brandon
I had a momentary brain freeze.
00:51:22
Kevin Dougherty
yeah, yeah. So that, yeah, that release date is August 28th. And then September 19th, we've got ah Zach Krieger's Rise of the Evil.
00:51:32
Brandon
Yeah, I wonder if this is going to – I just assume it's going to be good, like ah you know like ah kind of like a reboot, or it's going to just be dead terrible.
00:51:44
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, apparently he's straying away from the video games and wanted and kind of doing it his own thing.
00:51:50
Brandon
Yeah, that's what I have heard.
00:51:53
Kevin Dougherty
But i mean, i hear i mean he has a barbarian and weapons for both goods. So...
00:52:01
Brandon
They were. Yeah, they were good.
00:52:02
Kevin Dougherty
i
00:52:02
Brandon
And I mean, we don't know. I mean, like how far away is he going to stray? Is he going to, you know, try to maybe like integrate like some new ideas and also keep like the fan favorite elements of the video game that everybody likes and wants more of?
00:52:20
Brandon
um You know, I think it's going to be interesting. I'm definitely going to check it out.
00:52:25
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, yeah.
00:52:25
Brandon
yeah I say I'm pretty psyched up about it, honestly.
00:52:25
Kevin Dougherty
I think this might be more...
00:52:30
Brandon
But I think if this is a flop, I think like the Resident Evil franchise, at least in terms of like films, is going to be dead for a while.
00:52:41
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, who knows? that a We'll end up just bringing back Paul Thomas, ah not Paul Thomas, so Paul W.S.
00:52:42
Brandon
that's my That's my thought.
00:52:48
Kevin Dougherty
Anderson and doing another one of those Milo Jovovich progressive equalities.
00:52:52
Brandon
Oh, Jesus Christ. I would hope that she would say to that at this point. But, yeah. Actually, you know what? If it is a big flop, I'm sure they'll just keep making more.
00:53:04
Brandon
Yeah.
00:53:04
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah. Why wouldn't I keep trying?
00:53:05
Brandon
Yeah. one wonder Why wouldn't they?
00:53:08
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah.
00:53:11
Kevin Dougherty
Oh boy. And then, uh, then we've got the, uh, Batman, uh, spinoff Clayface, uh, which has got, just got pushed back to an October 23rd release to coincide with Halloween more.
00:53:23
Kevin Dougherty
And, uh, it's basically a, uh, Hollywood actor who becomes deformed and turns into, uh, the Batman villain Clayface. And, uh, I think this looks pretty, i mean, at least it sounds pretty interesting.
00:53:40
Brandon
So it's like kind of what happens to Tom Cruise in Vanilla Sky, except, like you know, he's known as an actor.
00:53:44
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I don't know if like Batman is even going be making an appearance.
00:53:55
Kevin Dougherty
ah
00:53:56
Brandon
ah Maybe it's maybe it's better if he stays away.
00:53:57
Kevin Dougherty
But...
00:53:59
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah. But it's the guy who did the remake of Speak No Evil and he did Eden Lake. and don't know if you ever saw that one.
00:54:08
Brandon
Eden Lake does actually sound – feel like I have the cover art in my head.
00:54:09
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah.
00:54:14
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, I mean, that shit is with ah Kelly Riley and Michael Fassbender. The shit is fucking grim. Shit does not go well for that.
00:54:22
Brandon
Yeah.
00:54:23
Kevin Dougherty
Let me just say that. Yeah.
00:54:26
Brandon
Now, where is this? Gorilla minus zero? or go Sorry, Gorilla. Godzilla minus – Godzilla. I mean – Godzilla minus zero? ah This is...
00:54:39
Kevin Dougherty
This is the sequel to Godzilla minus one, the Japanese version.
00:54:39
Brandon
Wasn't...
00:54:43
Brandon
God. For some reason, I thought the Godzilla Minus One was actually Godzilla Minus Zero. And I was like, what? Is this like a re-release or and like an extended director's cut of like...
00:54:56
Kevin Dougherty
ah how Kind of like how they did Godzilla minus one minus color.
00:55:00
Brandon
Yeah, yeah.
00:55:00
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, yeah. No, this is a new movie.
00:55:01
Brandon
You know, I mean, can see them milking it.
00:55:04
Kevin Dougherty
This is a new movie. I mean, rumor is the monster is going to be... Well, they said it wasn't going to be just one Kaiju, but two But that could include Godzilla.
00:55:16
Kevin Dougherty
It could be Monster Zero. But, I mean, with the title, I would assume it's Monster Zero. But I'm not really sure what they're going to But I think this i think the Godzilla Minus one was amazing.
00:55:27
Kevin Dougherty
So I'm looking forward to this one.
00:55:28
Brandon
Yeah. Well, I received such, uh, such huge praise. Uh, and i mean, I thought it was really dope. It's just like, I thought that that it was pretty complete and i don't, ah I don't know. I guess I,
00:55:43
Brandon
feel like it doesn't really need like um a follow-up to it but i mean shit you know what ah my hope would be that like mothra makes an appearance in this that that would be like because mothra is my favorite and
00:55:54
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah.
Creature Features and TV Show Anticipations
00:55:58
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah.
00:55:58
Brandon
like you know even like mothra like saving the day at the end and taking out godzilla that'd be dope
00:56:04
Kevin Dougherty
But you know, ah I mean, you know Godzilla. He always fucking resurrects and comes back. Yeah.
00:56:11
Brandon
yeah Yeah, yeah, he's kind of an unstoppable killing force.
00:56:14
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, he's kind of like Jason where he just kind of, you think you've defeated him, he's just kind of resting for a while. Yeah.
00:56:20
Brandon
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:56:22
Kevin Dougherty
And then we've got ah Robert Eggert's Werewolf, spelled W-E-R-W-U-L-F.
00:56:30
Brandon
Very clever.
00:56:31
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah.
00:56:31
Brandon
I wasn't sure if that was a typo on your part or if, like, you know, that was them trying to say something.
00:56:31
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah.
00:56:38
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah. Well, it ah takes place in medieval Britain. a Mysterious creature stalks foggy countryside, transforming local folklore into terrifying reality. Visitors as villagers face an ancient and supernatural threat.
00:56:51
Kevin Dougherty
Because we know almost
00:56:51
Brandon
It sounds like it's that's been done before many, many times, but, you know, still, I like werewolves, so.
00:56:57
Kevin Dougherty
And it's Robert Eggers who did Nosferatu and, you know, like White House.
00:56:59
Brandon
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you know, just a quick mention, I think when we, our last cast, when we talked about, like, Best of 2025, I think we left out Nisratto.
00:57:11
Brandon
I just wanted to...
00:57:12
Kevin Dougherty
Nosferatu came out in December of 2024.
00:57:15
Brandon
24. Okay. I was not 100% certain of that, and i just wanted to quickly sidebar.
00:57:16
Kevin Dougherty
yeah
00:57:21
Brandon
um go I'm glad.
00:57:21
Kevin Dougherty
I think it was because because it was in the Fangori Chainsaw Awards because of the way they do the end of 24 beginning of 2025.
00:57:22
Brandon
I'm glad that.
00:57:27
Brandon
Yeah. Yeah.
00:57:30
Kevin Dougherty
So that's why it was on there.
00:57:31
Brandon
I think that's what screwed me up. Because, yeah, we had gone over that in length in the Chainsaw Awards.
00:57:36
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, and I saw it in January of that year. I didn't happen to see it in December.
00:57:39
Brandon
Yeah.
00:57:41
Kevin Dougherty
so
00:57:41
Brandon
Yeah. Yeah.
00:57:42
Kevin Dougherty
but yeah, it's Robert Eggers.
00:57:42
Brandon
so Same here.
00:57:44
Kevin Dougherty
I'll watch anything he puts out, and it's Robert Eggers doing Werewolves. So yeah, I'm into it.
00:57:47
Brandon
Yeah, that's dope. And then, of course, the next one that you have on here is, I would say, like, one of my most, I mean, aside from, like, For All Mankind, this would probably be one of my most anticipated TV shows for 2026. yeah, saw it.
00:58:04
Kevin Dougherty
the next ah The next few that I have don't have release dates yet, so they're all to be determined, but they are supposed to be released this year. And I'll go over some of the ones that we already know of.
00:58:16
Kevin Dougherty
ah Silo Season 3.
00:58:19
Brandon
Yeah.
00:58:19
Kevin Dougherty
If you haven't seen Silo, on um it's also on Apple. It's kind of like Fallout, but if the whole series was in a bunker...
00:58:29
Brandon
Yeah. And there's still like a lot of mystery as to exactly what happened to the world and stuff like that.
00:58:35
Kevin Dougherty
Yes, yes.
00:58:36
Brandon
So, I mean, it, it, it, it's, it's dope. I would definitely check it out. If you've missed that one, we did, we've already done, uh,
00:58:40
Kevin Dougherty
Yes.
00:58:45
Brandon
two previous, one or two. pre I think we actually covered both seasons in one.
00:58:48
Kevin Dougherty
think we thought about both of them.
00:58:50
Brandon
um But yeah, we did that in the previous cast.
00:58:50
Kevin Dougherty
yeah Yeah.
00:58:53
Brandon
stop Yeah, it's it's dope. I don't have much more ad than that.
00:58:57
Kevin Dougherty
Yellow Jackets Season 4, which will be the final season. That I know of.
00:59:01
Brandon
Yeah.
00:59:03
Kevin Dougherty
Crystal Lake is coming out this year.
00:59:03
Brandon
Yeah.
00:59:06
Kevin Dougherty
Three Body Problem.
00:59:07
Brandon
Hopefully. Hopefully.
00:59:09
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, Three Body Problem season two is supposed to come out this year. Witcher season five is supposed to come out this year because they shot that back to back as well.
00:59:18
Brandon
Yeah, three-body problem, that that um has been on hold for a really long time.
00:59:18
Kevin Dougherty
and
00:59:24
Brandon
like there was I've been seeing rumors in the Reddit mail, which you can't really trust, that like it may or may not, like for a while, that like season two is kind of on the fritz as to whether or not, because they were supposed to make
00:59:37
Kevin Dougherty
Oh, really?
00:59:40
Brandon
three seasons going in.
00:59:41
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah.
00:59:42
Brandon
It's been determined that there are three seasons because I believe there are three novels and, you know, they were going to do like one season per novel. And, you know, because the last season I believe was out in 2022.
00:59:57
Brandon
So there's been, I believe it was, I could be wrong.
00:59:58
Kevin Dougherty
Wasn't that one, wasn't it?
01:00:02
Brandon
I know it's been at least it's got have been at least three years since, what was it, 2023?
01:00:08
Kevin Dougherty
Oh, it was 2024.
01:00:10
Brandon
No shit.
01:00:11
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah.
01:00:11
Brandon
Huh. I guess time is just moving really slow for me for some reason.
01:00:17
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, and it's the filming wrap.
01:00:19
Brandon
I didn't know. What? 2024? No shit. All right. Oh.
01:00:21
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, they started filming in 2025, and they wrapped early 2026.
01:00:22
Brandon
no shit
01:00:26
Kevin Dougherty
So they've confirmed to be released and on Netflix in 2026.
01:00:31
Brandon
I apologize. I was off by two years. And again, I was in the Reddit zeitgeist for that. And there were like a lot of rumors as to this um it potentially being canceled because of poor um viewership.
01:00:50
Brandon
And I'm just saying like Netflix is really known for that. You know, call it Gang you know it's just...
01:01:00
Brandon
for For people to put out that rumor, it's a very believable rumor, but I'm glad that it appears that that is not true.
01:01:07
Kevin Dougherty
yeah
01:01:09
Brandon
And there's just one thing I wanted to go back because you mentioned these are all to be announced. I found an unconfirmed ah rumor right before doing the cast that Crystal Lake is supposed to be December of 2026.
01:01:26
Brandon
But there's no definitive date.
01:01:26
Kevin Dougherty
okay
01:01:28
Brandon
It's just a month. And... Apparently, a twenty four said that, but I do not have a definitive source quote for that, so take it with a grain of salt.
01:01:39
Brandon
Anyway.
01:01:39
Kevin Dougherty
Well, if it ends up coming out like ah Fallout did, and there's only a couple episodes in December, we'll have to put that in with our 2027 list, I think, would be the way to go Hopefully it comes out closer to Halloween, though, is what I'm hoping for.
01:01:48
Brandon
2027, yeah, yeah, yeah, agreed.
01:01:54
Brandon
Yeah, yeah. I would i would think that like a Halloween launch would give like maximum yeah maximum impact, deep impact.
01:02:02
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah. And then we've got Mike Flanagan's Carrie series. coming out this year. Then we've got ah a remake of Cape Fear turned into a TV series with Amy Adams, Patrick Wilson, and harvi Javier Bardem playing the De Niro role.
01:02:28
Kevin Dougherty
So I thought,
01:02:29
Brandon
I'm sorry, were you waiting for a reaction on that?
01:02:32
Kevin Dougherty
yeah. Because know you're a big fan of Cape Fear, so
01:02:36
Brandon
i am ah I am a big fan Cape Fear, but like that just kind of caught me by surprise because I didn't realize that um there was a series of Cape Fear in the works.
01:02:39
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah,
01:02:47
Brandon
Yeah, I used to quote Cape Fear all the time.
01:02:47
Kevin Dougherty
yeah i didn't leave her until I...
01:02:50
Brandon
you know I thought De Niro just... I mean, we had talked about ah Cape Fear like when we were in a film class in college. like when We were talking about it being like one of like the best like remakes of like you know ah a ah a beloved film.
01:03:08
Brandon
um Because the original yeah ah the original with Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum, I believe, were
01:03:14
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah.
01:03:15
Brandon
and how they had them both in it and De Niro just completely like, sort of like rewriting the character because it was changed from the original where it was like a juror was the one that I believe, yeah, he was a juror and not the actual lawyer and the way they restructured it and you know, repackaged it was just fucking tremendous.
01:03:37
Brandon
I mean, great performances all around Nick Nolte, Juliette Lewis and can't think of who played this, what, Shelly, not Shelly Duvall.
01:03:48
Brandon
I can't think of it, but anyway, it was, you know, very yes, Jessica Lange.
01:03:51
Kevin Dougherty
Jessica Lange?
01:03:54
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, yeah.
01:03:55
Brandon
Yeah, I mean, it it was brilliant. I am a very big fan of Kate Fear, but yeah, you caught me by surprise because I had no idea that was in the works.
01:04:04
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, i didn't know I didn't either.
01:04:04
Brandon
Yeah.
01:04:05
Kevin Dougherty
And then I heard Harvey Bardem was playing the engineer role, and I was like, oh, OK, I'm in now. Yeah.
01:04:14
Brandon
And ah it just also reminds me, um I meant to ah mention this with news before we start the
Tribute to Robert Duvall and Catherine O'Hara
01:04:22
Brandon
cast. um Robert Duvall is no longer going to be available for the foreseeable rest of time.
01:04:32
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, well, I mean, he did make it to 95,
01:04:33
Brandon
Wow. Yeah, so I'm just saying like you know classic actor.
01:04:37
Kevin Dougherty

01:04:45
Brandon
Yes, yes, yes, yeah.
01:04:47
Kevin Dougherty
and I was just watching her in Last of Us Season 2, and like she's just such such a brilliant actress. so go be that That's a tough one.
01:04:53
Brandon
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:04:57
Kevin Dougherty
Tim Cynova, But oh this I just found out that when I was looking up Cape fear that it does have a release date of June 5 so that's coming out sooner than expected.
01:05:05
Brandon
Yeah, cool. Okay.
2026 Theatrical Releases and Cinema Hopes
01:05:08
Kevin Dougherty
Tim Cynova, I'll have to update my list.
01:05:09
Brandon
And um I don't know, um I know you had it listed, and The Witcher Season 5 is also, they Netflix has not mentioned when they're airing that in 2026.
01:05:11
Kevin Dougherty
Tim Cynova,
01:05:23
Kevin Dougherty
No there's no air date yet for that one. At least not the normal.
01:05:26
Brandon
I think they should just drop it right now and just, you know, get things out of the way, but, you know, well.
01:05:32
Kevin Dougherty
Well, they probably still have a lot of post-production to do. Even though it was filmed up pretty much right after the other one, they still post-production.
01:05:38
Brandon
Back to Yeah, I mean, they were filmed concurrently, right?
01:05:42
Kevin Dougherty
I don't know they film currently, but definitely back-to-back. But yeah.
01:05:48
Kevin Dougherty
they yeah
01:05:48
Brandon
Yeah, I wouldn't.
01:05:49
Brandon
Yeah, it wouldn't make. ah Yeah, sorry, that doesn't even make sense.
01:05:51
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah. Yeah.
01:05:53
Brandon
My bad.
01:05:54
Kevin Dougherty
No, I mean, it does if you you can budget for film in two seasons why not use if you're a using the one set as much as possible without having to like go back yeah it works out but uh yeah and then there was a ah couple other movies that had popped well ah star cities uh the spin-off and for all mankind we talked about uh that as well that's supposed to come out this year as well but then there was
01:06:04
Brandon
Yeah.
01:06:17
Brandon
Yeah.
01:06:19
Brandon
Yeah, because that that's like the, that's the Soviet program. That's Star City, you like is in Moscow, right, I believe.
01:06:26
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, yeah.
01:06:27
Brandon
Yeah, yeah.
01:06:27
Kevin Dougherty
It's their race or whatever. Then there's two other ones that I've just heard about. One was this so more of an independent ah flick called Bone Keeper it's about six friends investigate a missing person's case in a remote cave system unaware they're being stalked by an aging creature lurking in the depths.
01:06:49
Kevin Dougherty
And it's
01:06:49
Brandon
Wait, is it? Oh, no. i I was thinking of Bone Collector for a second.
01:06:53
Kevin Dougherty
No, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:06:53
Brandon
Yeah.
01:06:54
Kevin Dougherty
It's not that. And it looks interesting. I don't really know any of this guy's other works that I have heard of, but ah I mean, and looks like a Cthulhu type of creature.
01:07:11
Brandon
And this is confirmed for 2026?
01:07:14
Kevin Dougherty
Yes, it's it's been completed. i heard about it, like, i want to say... like early last year and it just has it just says complete it i don't know actually if it's i think it's looking for distribution now so but it's the film's done and i think it may have already been in like festivals or submitted to festivals but i'm not sure but like i've only heard a little bit of buzz about this
01:07:45
Kevin Dougherty
And it looked looked interesting. So um that's why I put it on my list. And then the other one I have is um Her Private Hell. And that also has Dougary Scott and Sophie.
01:07:58
Brandon
That fucking sounds grim.
01:08:00
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, it's got Sophie Thatcher as well. And it's ah Nicholas Wending Riff, reff however you say his name. He did um Neon Demon, Drive, Valhalla Rising, Only God Forgives.
01:08:13
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah.
01:08:13
Brandon
Oh, yeah.
01:08:14
Kevin Dougherty
for forgive yeah So when I saw that, I was like, well, I do like that director as well. So I'll be adding that to my list. and And that is all the movies I'm looking forward to and TV shows I'm looking forward to this year.
01:08:27
Kevin Dougherty
So that's a massive list.
01:08:27
Brandon
That's a pretty fucking long list. So maybe 2026 will be what I thought 2025 was.
01:08:36
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah.
01:08:36
Brandon
I mean, it sounds like that's a pretty epic list. And I mean, I'm sure that there's a few things in there that will probably come up that, you know, is not in that list that like turn out to be like, ah you know, worthy of discussion as well.
01:08:52
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, absolutely.
01:08:52
Brandon
Yeah.
01:08:52
Kevin Dougherty
I think like ah think this year it could be a lot harder to pick a top 10.
01:08:58
Kevin Dougherty
or um I feel like some of these I can already tell. like i think ready or not, too, I think I'm going to love. You know what mean? Like...
01:08:59
Brandon
Yeah.
01:09:06
Brandon
Yeah.
01:09:07
Kevin Dougherty
ah i think I think they will kill you. I think it will be a lot of fun as well. I think Evil Dead Burn could be really good as well. But I think some of the other ones, kind of like the Godzilla Kong, that's not going to make my list, but it' will be it's going to be fun to see that in theaters because I like watching giant monster movies in theaters.
01:09:23
Kevin Dougherty
You know what mean? like
01:09:24
Brandon
Yeah, I mean, like I said, I mean, think like Resident Evil could go either way. i do not have high expectations for the second season of Three Body Problem.
01:09:36
Brandon
I hope I'm wrong about that. I i hope it's a lot better than I think it's going to be.
01:09:41
Kevin Dougherty
Same thing with the yellow jackets.
01:09:41
Brandon
um
01:09:42
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah.
01:09:43
Brandon
ah Yeah, I do not have high hopes for the final season of Yellow Jackets, which is why we've kind of hold held off on doing season three. um You know, we're going to do a cast went after season four has concluded.
01:09:57
Brandon
But um is there any last things that you want to mention? Anything you think we missed ah in terms of upcoming 2026? Yeah.
01:10:07
Kevin Dougherty
Well, that's everything that I have written down and put dates to that I've heard. At least most of these, if not all of them, besides the TV shows, obviously, these are all going theatrical releases, too.
01:10:20
Kevin Dougherty
So I haven't looked at...
01:10:20
Brandon
Yeah. All theatrical releases.
01:10:23
Kevin Dougherty
These are all theatrical releases.
01:10:24
Brandon
Okay. that That's interesting.
01:10:27
Kevin Dougherty
That's...
01:10:27
Brandon
But yeah, ah obviously, except for the TV shows. But yeah, that's that's interesting.
01:10:30
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah. Yeah, that's...
01:10:32
Brandon
I didn't realize. Yeah, I didn't actually know that.
01:10:35
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, that's why I think that's a...
01:10:36
Brandon
Yeah.
01:10:37
Kevin Dougherty
I mean, obviously, except for the ones that I missed that only got like a week run or whatever earlier this year, all these are theatrical releases, so I haven't included anything that I've heard about that's coming straight to to streaming or anything like that.
01:10:42
Brandon
Yeah.
01:10:50
Kevin Dougherty
So that's a...
01:10:51
Brandon
And yeah, that's going to be good for theaters. So, you know, um yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:10:53
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah. That's why I think it's going to be, ah i think, a good year, even if like... I mean, I hope all of them are good, obviously, because I don't want to sit through something that's bad, but...
01:11:02
Brandon
Yeah, but I mean, in the real, in the real world, I mean, i would be happy if 50% of them were good.
01:11:09
Kevin Dougherty
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
01:11:10
Brandon
