🎬 Mostly Film

This week, the Mostly Film crew (Jonathan & JP) are back to break down the latest in movie news, AI ethics, and cinematic chaos — with a few hot takes along the way.

LIST IT or NIX IT
Would we add it to the Letterboxd watchlist or toss it in the bin? We give rapid-fire reactions to the latest trailers for Ballad of a Small Player, The Thing with Feathers, We Bury the Dead, The Roughneck, and Exit Protocol. Expect some disagreements, some hype, and maybe one regretful “LIST.”

What We’ve Been Watching
Jonathan’s been digging into 2025’s newest releases like The Man in the Basement, All the Devils Are Here, and Caught Stealing, while balancing it out with some TV heavyweights like Banshee and Task. JP’s lineup includes Altered States, All the Devils Are Here, and Caught Stealing — plus a binge of Banshee, Slow Horses, and The Lowdown. It’s a mix of crime, chaos, and psychological breakdowns… in other words, a normal week.

The News
From PTA’s One Battle After Another crossing $100M worldwide to Dwayne Johnson reflecting on The Smashing Machine’s soft opening, we’re covering the highs, lows, and headline chaos of Hollywood. Zelda Williams calls out AI’s exploitation of her late father’s likeness, David Ellison goes full mogul with media acquisitions and Paramount shake-ups, and Damien Chazelle’s new prison drama is already stacking stars.

It’s a packed episode of sharp takes, deep dives, and way too many side conversations about Banshee.
