This week on Mostly Film, we’re back with another round of sharp opinions, movie news mayhem, and just enough chaos to keep it interesting.

We kick things off with LIST IT or NIX IT, where we run through the freshest trailers and give our snap judgments: are they Letterboxd-worthy or going straight to the bin? This week’s lineup includes Weapons, The Smashing Machine, Highest 2 Lowest, Everything is Going to Be Great, The Unholy Trinity, and Now You See Me Now You Don’t. No plot summaries here—just instinct, vibes, and a little cinematic judgment.

Then it’s on to What We’ve Been Watching, where Jonathan dives into the weird wild ride of Death of a Unicorn and revisits the rebellion in Andor. JP brings Eephus and Drop into the spotlight, plus some TV thoughts on The Rehearsal and The Righteous Gemstones. We skip the spoilers and zero in on what stuck with us—performances, atmosphere, and themes that hit.

Finally, The News segment covers all the latest chaos from Hollywood:

• The Studio is getting a Season 2

• GTA VI trailer fever

• Pleakley’s dress scene cut from the new Lilo & Stitch (seriously?)

• Jenna Ortega and Robert De Niro team up for Shutout

• Kevin Feige says watching Marvel started feeling like homework (we feel you)

• Jeremy Renner says “no thanks” to Hawkeye Season 2

• Harrison Ford learns he almost played Batman

• And yes, Guy Ritchie is directing Road House 2

It’s a packed episode—fun, fast, and full of film. Let’s get into it.
