This week, it’s all about surprises, good and bad, with one unexpected hit (The Inheritance) and one big miss (The Mandela Effect Phenomenon).
The Inheritance sounds cut and dry. A rich family comes together for the first time in years to celebrate their father’s 75th birthday. He has brought them together because he knows someone is going to kill him that night, and he wants them to stop it from happening. If they fail, they lose all of their inheritance.
It is not long before things take a completely different turn. What initially sounds like a straightforward mystery becomes a haunted house movie with twists and turns.
Great visuals and a paranoid atmosphere make this one of the most pleasantly surprising movies of the year.
The Inheritance is now available to rent via most PVOD platforms.
And now for something completely different…
On the other end of the spectrum is The Mandela Effect Phenomenon. It sounds interesting enough—a look at the possible causes and what it means for the future of humanity. But from the jump, it is clear that something is very wrong about this documentary.
The film is littered with bad interview subjects who do not seem to know what they are talking about, misleading videos, and contradicting information. It aimlessly wanders until it gets to the actual point. You need to read the Bible. Oh boy.
The Mandela Effect Phenomenon is available on Apple TV.

Episode 373: ‘Mockbuster’ (2026)
We have spent years talking about how important The Blair Witch Project is. We discuss the pros and cons of the latest reimagining of the iconic found footage classic. And we are definitely interested. Plus, the latest internet horror fad that Hollywood wants to adapt into a movie. And while it does seem a little silly to us, they do have a strong director attached to it.
The Asylum has been putting out grade-A quality B movies for a long time. Sharknado may be their most well-known, but their specialty are mockbusters like Tomb Invader and Top Gunner. We could not wait to take a look at their inner workings.
Mockbuster does much more than that. Sure, there is plenty of footage from The Asylum library. And yes, all of it is amazing. The interviews with the people at the top of the company are also great. They know the score and are funny, entertaining, and informative.
But it is the documentary’s subject that is the beating heart of the film. Anthony Frith is one of the most charming people we have ever seen and we enjoyed watching his journey. Mockbuster ended up being an unexpected feel-good watch thanks to Frith and all of the incredibly supportive people featured.
On top of all that, we get to see how a movie from The Asylum gets made!
