Join us for Episode 11 of the Offbend Podcast, where we dissect the latest in film with precision and passion.
Together – We unpack this genre-blending body horror romance starring Alison Brie and Dave Franco. The film merges gut‑wrenching physical transformation with sharp emotional stakes—part visceral, part poignant ‑– delivering horror with humor and heart.
The Naked Gun (2025) – We dive into the over-the-top revival of the spoof comedy classic. Liam Neeson takes center stage as Frank Drebin Jr., delivering deadpan brilliance in a relentless stream of gag‑loaded absurdity. The film’s nostalgic spirit is refreshed for 2025 with rapid-fire slapstick, a vibrant ensemble including Pamela Anderson, and bold, ridiculous set‑pieces.
The State of Theatrical Comedy – We tackle the core issue: Are theatrical comedies fading—or waking up? From declining studio risk appetite to recent sparks like Naked Gun pushing humor back into theaters, we plot the path forward for communal laughter on the big screen.
This episode blends deep-dive analysis and sharp cultural critique with the nimble energy of two creators interrogating the future of comedy in cinema.
