The new A24 horror film is "Backrooms," and it's a huge hit AND made by a 20-year-old. Is it good? We discuss. We also dig into Nate Bargatze's feature debut "The Breadwinner." Then, in our Reboot segment, we talk about Atom Egoyan's 1994 hit "Exotica." Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy.

Grierson is back from Cannes, even if his bags aren't. He wraps up Cannes 2026 for us, and then we discuss the first Star Wars movie in seven years, "The Mandalorian and Grogu." And then we talk about Boots Riley's "I Love Boosters." Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy.

Grierson is still in Cannes, and he briefly joins us for a report, but there were two sort of high-profile movies that Leitch wanted to weigh in on, so here we are. Leitch solos on the adaptation of "Is God Is," as well as the horror hit "Obsession." It's never quite the same when it's just one of us, but at least the show is shorter! Grierson will be back next week for a normal (and long) show. Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy. Let us know what you think @griersonleitch on Twitter or Bluesky, or griersonleitch@gmail.com.

Hey, there are Sheep Detectives! Let's discuss them! And then Grierson previews his trip to the Cannes Film Festival. We're off next week while he's there, we'll miss you. Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy. Let us know what you think @griersonleitch on Twitter or Bluesky, or griersonleitch@gmail.com.

It's a sequel 20 years in the making: How does "The Devil Wears Prada 2" hold up? We're split! We also discuss the Adam Scott horror film "Hokum" and the very, very strange animated version of "Animal Farm." Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy. Let us know what you think @griersonleitch on Twitter or Bluesky, or griersonleitch@gmail.com.

Oh, boy, the "Michael" discourse has landed at Grierson & Leitch. We apologize in advance. We also discuss David Lowery's "Mother Mary" and the dark comedy "Over Your Dead Body." Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy.

Happy anniversary, Tim and Susan! Grierson and his wife are celebrating their 20th anniversary this week, so our recording was a bit piecemeal this week, but we still hit the big movies. We start with Steven Soderbergh's 37th film, "The Christophers." Then we talk "Lee Cronin's The Mummy" and the Bob Odenkirk actioner "Normal." Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy.

Will is back from vacation and, amazingly, the world is still here. Will and Tim dig into A24's "The Drama," with Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, as well as Jonah Hill's Apple TV movie "Outcome" and the Japanese video game-inspired thriller "Exit 8." Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy.

Will's about to go on vacation for a week, and is obsessed with the Illini right now anyway, so we dig into three movies the best we can. First, it's the hipster horror flick "They Will Kill You." Then the French body horror thriller "Alpha." And we close with Vince Vaughn/James Marsden Hulu action comedy "Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice." And we'll back in a fortnight, hopefully with an Illinois national championship. Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy.

It's the biggest hit of the year so far, and it's original (or at least based on an original book): It's Ryan Gosling in "Project Hail Mary." One of us likes it more than the other. Also, we discuss the horror sequel "Ready or Not 2: Here I Come" as well as the Ukranian historical drama "Two Prosecutors." Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy. Let us know what you think @griersonleitch on Twitter or Bluesky, or griersonleitch@gmail.com.
