We discuss two new films that surprised us in very different ways: “The Conqueror: Hollywood Fallout” and “The Omicron Killer”.
Whenever we review a movie for our humble little podcast, we inevitably ask ourselves, “Who is this movie for?”
Never has the answer been harder than with The Conqueror: Hollywood Fallout. There is something here for those who like to hear stories about troubled productions, but this is not that kind of movie overall. The film has a much darker story to tell. Along with the multiple cancer cases among the cast and crew, it also goes into how the production affected the surrounding towns.
A hard-hitting watch, this is one of those releases that seems designed for a niche audience but is accessible to anyone.
You can stream the film on Hoopla or rent it on Spectrum On Demand online.
Next, it’s time for our featured new indie horror review, a look at The Omicron Killer.
Unlike our first film covered on today’s podcast, The Omicron Killer is not for anyone.
This is bad in more ways than we can adequately describe. It contains awful comedy, a confusing plot, and nude scenes that even we find pointless. The film seems to go out of its way to alienate audiences—and not in the cute Troma way that ends up being charming.
The film is about a copycat serial killer who goes on a rampage to prove he’s even more deadly than the original. The media redubs him as The Omicron Killer. It’s not yet available to stream.

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.
