It’s a surreal sci-fi double feature with two new releases, indie horror “Capsules” and the absurdist comedy “Smoking Causes Coughing”.
Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the biggest movie stars of all time. His new movie comes out this October. We talk about his penchant for working with the same directors and his history with horror movies. Plus, we discuss the scientifically proven scariest movie of all time.
Capsules is a film with some cool ideas. It does a good job of building tension and has an interesting premise. But the script ignores the characters, continuity, and its own logic. What good it does is usually in scenes that do not make sense. Most of all, it is filled with privilege.
Smoking Causes Coughing is the most absurd superhero movie ever released. It includes heroes named after cancer-causing chemicals, a talking barracuda, and lots of blood. It does not make any sense on paper, but it is one of the most interesting films to come out this year.
We also talk about a modern kung fu movie, a quick remake, one of the biggest releases of the year, and a new release from Shudder.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:
Last week, we talked about one of the most unique movies to screen at this year’s SXSW film festival, Only the Good Survive. We talk about the good, the bad, and the weird.

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.
