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.
ABOUT THIS PODCAST:

Episode 370: Mid year recap
Time moves more quickly now than it ever has. It was not that long ago that we were talking about a new show executive produced by the Duffer brothers. About a month later, it is one and done. As someone once reminded us, we are just two guys who watch movies. Production budgets and domestic grosses are only a passing interest to us. Still, there are some things that catch our attention. Were we right to say that Michael would get to $1 billion? And what does the future hold for Obsession?
There was a major change to our humble little podcast this year. We decided it would be in our best interests to be a little more focused. To that end, we went to just covering one movie each show. Despite this, we still managed to cover twenty-three movies over seventeen episodes. And twenty of them were released in 2026.
So, what do we have to talk about? And will we get as worked up as we did last week? The horrors of high school, zombies, musicals, buff nuns, and grindhouse adjacent fun. It may not all have been good, but everything left some sort of impression on us.
