This week we’re checking out Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice (2026), a fast-moving crime comedy that throws time travel, gangsters, and double-crosses into the same chaotic night. With Vince Vaughn pulling double duty and James Marsden in the mix, the movie leans into a wild premise where survival gets a whole lot more complicated once the timeline starts getting messed with.

We talk about the chemistry between Vaughn and Marsden, how well the time-travel element works, and whether the movie delivers more as a comedy, a crime story, or just pure chaos.

So does Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice turn its bizarre setup into something memorable, or does it get tangled up in its own madness? Tune in to hear our final ratings.

This week we’re checking out War Machine (2026), a military thriller that takes a hard left turn into full-blown sci-fi chaos on Netflix.

Led by Alan Ritchson, the story blends military with sci-fi spectacle, as the squad is forced to adapt, survive, and figure out how to take down an enemy that’s faster, stronger, and unlike anything they’ve trained for.

We get into whether the genre mashup actually works, how effective the action is, and if the movie leans more into its Predator-style survival roots or its larger alien invasion setup.

So does War Machine deliver a fun, chaotic action ride, or is it one that feels a little too familiar? Tune in to hear our final ratings.

This week we check out The Drama (2026), a romantic comedy that quickly reveals itself to be something much darker. What starts as a stylish, slightly offbeat look at a couple heading toward their wedding turns into a tense unraveling when a shocking confession changes everything.

The film leans heavily into uncomfortable territory, mixing humor with some pretty heavy themes as the relationship between Emma and Charlie is put under a microscope. It’s less about the wedding itself and more about what happens when the past crashes into the present in a way you can’t ignore.

So where does The Drama land for us? A bold and thought-provoking film, or a swing that doesn’t quite connect? Tune in to hear our final ratings.
