From the art of kung-fu mastery to artistic genius, we explore a couple of wildly different new releases, “Fist of the Condor” and “Paint”.
Johnny Depp has helped audiences through some difficult times. We are not talking about any of his movies. We mean his trial with Amber Herd, which provided hours of entertainment during some dark moments. Just when it looked like Depp’s career was over, he is back, and you will not believe where. Plus, we dive into our excitement over the cast details for MaXXXine.
We recently saw John Wick: Chapter 4 and loved every second of it. When he found out one of the cast was in their own kung-fu movie, we knew we had to watch it. And we were not surprised, as Fist of the Condor had one of the most satisfying endings we have ever seen. But the rest of it was a confusing mess. Was a Renegade reference enough to save it?
Anyone who sees the posters for Paint will immediately think of Bob Ross. While The Joy of Painting host was a major influence, the IFC film tells its own story.
We discuss its varied comedy, well-written characters, and the strange decision to completely ignore one of the central characters. We also discuss the reason why the movie is receiving so much hate.
Plus, Genre of the Future!
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:
Last week, we talked about Smoking Causes Coughing, which is unlike any other superhero movie out there. It brings together Power Rangers, anthology storytelling, and a talking fish.

Episode: 367: ‘Speed Demon’ (2026)
Over the years, we have seen and discussed how horror has become more acceptable in the mainstream. This week we talk about two of the most striking examples of this. One is interesting while the other is just straight up weird. But both have us interested.
The idea of a nun who has lost her faith is not strange for an exorcism movie. Having the first introduction of said nun has her completely nude and coked up after a threesome is a little different. After showing off this incredibly buff nun, the awesomely titled Speed Demon takes off from there.
The film is an example of less being more. It does not reinvent the wheel and tells the simple story of a person trying to overcome their personal demons in order to defeat a literal one. And it works thanks to its setting and quick pace.
But it is in the closing moments that Speed Demon truly shines. In a whirlwind of revelations, the most powerful people in the world become entrenched in Sister Lu’s world. It also sets up the promise of what could be an exciting franchise.
