This podcast was recorded during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the movie being covered here wouldn’t exist.

Wowabunga! Special guest Cory Woodroof joins the show this week for a review of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, a computer-animated reimagining of the famous pizza-loving turtles from some of the same talent behind Mitchells vs. The Machines.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem was directed by Jeff Rowe, who co-wrote the screenplay with Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, Dan Hernandez, and Benji Samit. The voice cast includes Micah Abbey, Shamon Brown Jr., Nicolas Cantu, Brady Noon, Ayo Edebiri, Maya Rudolph, John Cena, Seth Rogen, Rose Byrne, Natasia Demetriou, Giancarlo Esposito, Jackie Chan, Ice Cube, Paul Rudd, Post Malone, and Hannibal Buress. The film opened in theaters on August 2 through Paramount Pictures and has a 100-minute runtime.

Our intro music this week is “Which One?” by Glimlip & .multibeat.

You're not going to believe this, but Disney made another movie based on a theme park ride that barely anyone watched. That's right, we're talking about Haunted Mansion this week, based on the Disneyland attraction and a reboot of the 2003 film starring Eddy Murphy. It's not exactly scaring people into buying a ticket so far, but you better believe we'll exorcise caution in our takes. And most importantly...how does it compare to Muppets Haunted Mansion?

Haunted Mansion was directed by Justin Simien (Dear White People, Bad Hair) and written by Katie Dippold. The film stars LaKeith Stanfield, Tiffany Haddish, Owen Wilson, Danny DeVito, Rosario Dawson, Dan Levy, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Jared Leto (sort of?) The film opened in theaters on July 28 through Walt Disney Pictures and has a 123-minute runtime.

Special guest Parth Sanghvi joins us for the first time ever to review Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan's follow-up to 2020's Tenet, which for sure came out under normal circumstances. We open the show, however, with a quick visit from a couple old friends and Nolan super-fans before diving into the discussion (00:04:00) and finishing out with the Rotten Tomatoes Game.

Oppenheimer was also written by Nolan and is based on the 2005 biography of J. Robert Oppenheimer, American Prometheus, by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin. The ensemble cast is quite massive, but we'll let you know a few of the heavy hitters: Cillian Murphy (as Oppenheimer himself), Robert Downey Jr., Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Florence Pugh, Josh Hartnett, Casey Affleck, Rami Malek, Kenneth Branagh, and many more. Oppenheimer opened nationwide on July 21 through Universal Pictures and has a 180-minute runtime.

Looks like the PG-13 live-action Barbie isn't exactly child's play. That's right, we're taking a close look this week at Barbie, a smash hit at the box office and fourth film by Greta Gerwig, star of such massive projects like "How I Met Your Dad." A fantasy comedy released alongside a far more "serious" Christopher Nolan movie, Barbie has a lot of critics living in a metaphorical dream house this weekend. The "Barbenheimer" double feature phenomenon has definitely overshadowed a lot of the conversation around these individual movies. No longer! We're reviewing these one at a time, starting with...well, you know.

Barbie was co-written by Gerwig and Noah Baumbach and stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. The film also boasts a huge ensemble cast: America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, Issa Rae, Rhea Perlman, Will Ferrell, Alexandra Shipp, Emma Mackey, Hari Nef, Simu Liu, and many more. It opened nationwide on July 22 through Warner Bros. and has a 114-minute runtime.

Does the seventh Mission: Impossible movie fall off a cliff? That's right, we're reviewing the good, bad, and Tom Cruise of it all in Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One. A movie with as many stunts as it has words in the title. Starting off, we give our takes on how Dead Reckoning Part One, officially one of the most expensive movies ever made, compares to previous installments. Additionally, we play the Rotten Tomatoes game and react to a few popular reviews of the movie on Letterboxd.

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One was directed by Christopher McQuarrie, who also co-wrote the film with Erik Jendresen. The film stars Tom Cruise, Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Vanessa Kirby, Esai Morales, Pom Klementieff, Mariela Garriga, and Henry Czerny. It opened nationwide on July 12 through Paramount Pictures and has a 163-minute runtime.

More like Ridemaids. That's right, Joy Ride hit theaters this past weekend, and you'll never believe it. An R-rated raunchy comedy with positive reviews didn't make a ton of money at the box office. We know. Super surprising! But because we don't care about the Insidious franchise (and Jon watched Joy Ride twice for some reason), we thought it only fitting to find our cinematic Seoulmate. Well, Jon's at least.

Joy Ride was directed by Adele Lim in her feature directorial debut and she developed the story with screenwriters Cherry Chevapravatdumrong and Teresa Hsiao. The film stars Ashley Park, Sherry Cola, Stephanie Hsu, and Sabrina Wu, Ronny Chieng, Meredith Hagner, David Denman, Annie Mumolo, and Timothy Simons. It opened nationwide on July 7 through Lionsgate Films and has a 95-minute runtime.

The Indiana Jones franchise might be out of time, but maybe that's why the fifth and final entry, Dial of Destiny, is about time! And it's about time we review it. Harrison Ford returns, naturally, as the titular adventurer, now in his golden years as the series enters 1969. But you know who doesn't return? Steven Spielberg! Or George Lucas. Since its premiere at Cannes, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny has certainly divided critics and longtime fans alike. But we'll do our best to excavate our own thoughts on a movie that may or may not belong in a museum.

Dial of Destiny was directed by James Mangold, who co-wrote it with Jez Butterworth, John-Henry Butterworth, and David Koepp. In addition to Ford, the cast includes Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Antonio Banderas, Toby Jones, Boyd Holbrook, Ethann Isidore, John Rhys-Davies, Karen Allen, and Mads Mikkelsen. The film opened nationwide on June 30 through Disney and Lucasfilm and has a 154-minute runtime.

Raunchy comedies don't come easily. That's right, we're reviewing No Hard Feelings this week, a new film from Gene Stupnitsky, who previously directed Good Boys and co-created Jury Duty. No Hard Feelings marks the return of Jennifer Lawrence to the big screen (if you don't count the limited release of Don't Look Up) since she made us wonder if her agent needs a strict talking-to in 2018's Red Sparrow. We discuss the somewhat divisive comedy, which Lawrence co-produced, and of course finish the show with the Rotten Tomatoes Game.

No Hard Feelings was co-written by Stupnitsky and John Phillips. In addition to Lawrence, the cast includes Andrew Barth Feldman, Laura Benanti, Natalie Morales, Kyle Mooney, Hasan Minhaj, and Matthew Broderick. The film opened nationwide on June 23 through Sony Pictures Releasing and has a 103-minute runtime.

Elemental received a chilly reception at the box office in its opening weekend, and sparks are certainly flying between lovers and haters of Pixar's 27th feature film. Some call it one of Pixar's hottest while others find it to be watered down. So this week we review this force of nature film and discuss what works and doesn't, plus we play the Rotten Tomatoes Game to see how the critical consensus is shaping up.

Elemental was directed by Peter Sohn, a longtime Pixar mainstay who previously directed The Good Dinosaur. Sohn also co-wrote the film with John Hoberg, Kat Likkel, and Brenda Hsueh, with Pete Docter serving as executive producer. The voice cast includes Leah Lewis, Mamoudou Athie, Ronnie del Carmen, Shila Ommi, Wendi McLendon-Covey, and Catherine O'Hara. Elemental premiered at the 76th Cannes Film Festival and was released nationwide through Disney on June 16. The runtime is a breezy 109 minutes.

Special guest Brogan Luke Bouwhis joins us this week to review The Flash, which stars Ezra Miller as the fastest person alive...at avoiding crimes? Anyway, the DCEU is currently being taken over by James Gunn, which makes The Flash a bit of a holdover from another era. That's probably why it has plenty of other eras inside its runtime, because yes, it's a multiverse plot. Comic book movies have no other choice these days. We give our thoughts on the movie, which certainly Vary Allen. We then open up the show for some spoiler discussion (with plenty of warning) then finish the show with the Rotten Tomatoes Game.

The Flash was directed by Andy Muschietti (the It movies) and written by Christina Hodson (Birds of Prey). In addition to Miller, the cast includes Sasha Calle, Michael Shannon, Ron Livingston, Maribel Verdú, Kiersey Clemons, Antje Traue, Michael Keaton, and plenty of spoilery cameos we won't give away. The film opened nationwide on June 16 through Warner Bros and has a 144-minute runtime.

On this special bonus episode of Cinemaholics, we discuss Asteroid City, the latest movie from writer/director Wes Anderson. His new feature has a few things in common with his previous one, The French Dispatch, particularly when it comes to his ability to convince almost every recognizable actor in Hollywood to show up. And show up they did for this quirky sci-fi romantic comedy drama about a Junior Stargazer convention in a 50s desert town where events take an alienating turn, so to speak.

Asteroid City was directed and written by Wes Anderson and is based on a story by Anderson and Roman Coppola. The ensemble cast includes Jason Schwartzman, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hanks, Jeffrey Wright, Tilda Swinton, Bryan Cranston, Edward Norton, Adrien Brody, Liev Schreiber, Hope Davis, Steve Park, Rupert Friend, Maya Hawke, Steve Carell, Matt Dillon, Hong Chau, Willem Dafoe, Margot Robbie, Tony Revolori, Jake Ryan, and Jeff Goldblum. The film premiered at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival and opens in limited release on June 16 through Focus Features. It will later go wide on June 23.

The Transformers franchise is back, but only sort of? This week on Cinemaholics, we discuss Transformers: Rise of the Beasts. The new film takes place in the 90s and departs from the mainline Transformers movies by Michael Bay. It's maybe barely a sequel to Bumblebee, the prequel we declared as the best Transformers by default in 2018. But this time around the Autobots, still led by Optimus Prime, team up with new allies inspired by the Beast Wars cartoon to stop a worldwide alien threat you probably don't care about. That said, Jon and Will don't fully see eye-to-eye on this one. So stay tuned to hear where they both ultimately land on this transformative new take on the series.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts was directed by Steven Caple Jr. (Creed II) and written by Joby Harold, Darnell Metayer, Josh Peters, Erich Hoeber, and Jon Hoeber. The cast includes Anthony Ramos and Dominique Fishback in live-action roles, with the voice cast including Ron Perlman, Peter Dinklage, Michelle Yeoh, Liza Koshy, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, Pete Davidson, Colman Domingo, Cristo Fernández, and Tongayi Chirisa. Plus longtime returning voices to the franchise: Peter Cullen, John DiMaggio, and David Sobolov. The film is being released through Paramount Pictures.

We've been bit by the love bug. Special guest Matt Serafini joins us to review Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, the sequel to 2018's Oscar-winning Into the Spider-Verse. Despite being the longest animated film ever made in America, Across the Spider-Verse has been collecting cash across the box office-verse, with both critics and audiences agreeing that this is a sight of a comic book movie to behold. But what do the Cinemaholics think? We start the show with a brief rundown of the movie's backstory, then swing into a spoiler-free review. We do open up for spoilers later on in the show with plenty of warning, and be sure to stick around for this week's Rotten Tomatoes Game.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse was directed by Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, and Justin K. Thompson. Screenplay by Phil Lord, Christopher Miller (both also as co-producers), and David Callaham. The voice cast includes Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld, Brian Tyree Henry, Luna Lauren Vélez, Jake Johnson, Jason Schwartzman, Issa Rae, Karan Soni, Daniel Kaluuya, Mahershala Ali, Oscar Isaac, and many more.

Well, Disney remade another one of their classic animated movies in live-action format, which means it's time to dive into The Little Mermaid, from the same director of the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean movie. We open the show this week briefly chatting about other movies we're looking forward to this coming month, then it's onto our review and a general look at what's coming next for these Disney live-action remakes. Last, we finish the show with the Rotten Tomatoes Game and a bonus segment looking at a ranking of the Disney live-action remakes according to their RT scores.

The Little Mermaid was directed by Rob Marshall with David Magee as screenwriter. The original story is adapted, loosely, from Hans Christian Andersen's 1837 fairy tale. The film stars Halle Bailey, Jonah Hauer-King, Daveed Diggs, Awkwafina, Jacob Tremblay, Noma Dumezweni, Art Malik, Javier Bardem and Melissa McCarthy. It features new music by Lin-Manuel Miranda and reworked compositions from Alan Menken (who composed the original 1989 animated film).

The Fast Saga isn't out of gas yet. We're back this week to review Fast X, the tenth installment in the "main" Fast & Furious series of movies starring Vin Diesel as everyone's favorite Family Man. But this isn't just any fast movie. For one thing, it's the eighth most expensive movie of all time. But also, it's the first part of a finale (that might span three films?) promising to bring this franchise to a dead end. This is a spoiler-free review, as usual, and stick around for the end of the show as we play the Rotten Tomatoes Game. Fast X also stars Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Christopher "Ludacris" Bridges, John Cena, Nathalie Emmanuel, Jordana Brewster, Sung Kang, Scott Eastwood, Daniela Melchior, Alan Ritchson, Helen Mirren, Brie Larson, Rita Moreno, Jason Statham, Jason Momoa, and Charlize Theron. Louis Leterrier directs with Dan Mazeau and Justin Lin (who left the project) co-writing the script.

Time to talk about a movie that really clicks. BlackBerry is a Canadian biographical dramedy that covers the history of the titular phone developed by Research in Motion (RIM) from its meteoric rise starting in the late 90s to its inevitable downfall in the late 2000s. The movie stars Jay Baruchel and Glenn Howerton as the polar opposite co-CEOs, with Matt Johnson as one of the co-founders and true heart of the film. Plus, Johnson also directed BlackBerry and co-wrote the screenplay with Matthew Miller. BlackBerry was adapted from Jacquie McNish and Sean Silcoff's book Losing the Signal: The Untold Story Behind the Extraordinary Rise and Spectacular Fall of BlackBerry. And the rest of the cast includes Rich Sommer, Michael Ironside, Martin Donovan, Michelle Giroux, SungWon Cho, Saul Rubinek, and Cary Elwes.

James Gunn brings it home this week with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, the 32nd Marvel Cinematic Universe movie. But more importantly, Vol. 3 rounds out what might be Marvel's best trilogy with Gunn out the door to help out DC. Does this latest adventure with the freakin' guardians of the galaxy hit all the right emotional heartbeats? Well, we're here to hash all that out, along with our general thoughts on the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise thus far, and we of course end the show with the Rotten Tomatoes Game. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 stars (deep breath) Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldaña, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Will Poulter, Sean Gunn, Chukwudi Iwuji, Linda Cardellini, Nathan Fillion, and Sylvester Stallone.

Special guest Cameron Culbertson joins us this week for our annual summer movie preview. That's right, the summer is upon us, and it's time to take a closer look at what Hollywood has in store for us. A new Pixar movie, Elemental, could be a huge turning point in the studio's future. The Flash, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse could signal a huge turning point for the future of comic book movies. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny could be a huge turning point for Harrison Ford buying a new Maserati or going for the Chevy Tahoe. And then there's Barbie. We also discuss which summer movie we think will win the box office, list out our most anticipated features, and play a quick, new game.

Special guest Ryan Oliver joins Will this week to review Evil Dead Rise, the fifth movie in the Evil Dead franchise, this time written and directed by Lee Cronin (The Hole in the Ground). The horror flick has been a modest hit with critics and audiences alike, but what do our resident dead heads think of this new installment originally destined for HBO Max, along with the rest of the Evil Dead movies? Evil Dead Rise stars Lily Sullivan, Alyssa Sutherland, Morgan Davies, Gabrielle Echols, and Nell Fisher.

He taught us about grief in Hereditary. He showed us the true horrors of a breakup in Midsommar. And now Ari Aster is back with Beau is Afraid, a movie about how Jon and Will have vastly different tastes. Good thing they're not afraid to voice it. That's right, we review Beau is Afraid this week, the latest A24 surrealist horror from the mind of Ari Aster, starring Joaquin Phoenix as anxiety in human form. The film also stars Nathan Lane, Amy Ryan, Parker Posey, Patti LuPone, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Michael Gandolfini, Zoe Lister-Jones, and plenty more.
