The Rage Virus returns… and this time, it’s evolved.

Nia DaCosta steps up to expand the world of 28 Days Later with 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple—a continuation that pushes the infected apocalypse into uncharted territory.

Does this sequel live up to the legacy? Are we looking forward to another? Or has the franchise hit a wall?

It’s finally time to reveal the picks.

In this episode, all eight players unveil their full 2026 domestic box office lists, including ranked Top 10 selections and dark horse picks. We break down the strategies, overlap, bold swings, safe bets, and potential disasters as everyone locks in their movies for the year.

Who played it safe? Who went all-in on upside? And whose list is going to look real bad by summer?

Whether you’re tracking box office, playing along at home, or just here for the chaos, this is the official kickoff to the 2026 Box Office Game.

Graphic of selections (This will spoil the list announcements if you haven't listened yet...)

This week, we’re reviewing Bugonia (2025), the latest from director Yorgos Lanthimos. Starring Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons, Bugonia leans hard into paranoia, power, and absurdity, following two conspiracy-minded men who kidnap a powerful CEO they believe may not be human. Listen as we break down what works, what doesn’t, and whether Lanthimos’ increasingly strange style still hits for us. Also, are Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons premiere tier actors of their generation?

This week we’re diving into The Rip (2026). BE WARNED...This one has spoilers to the point where I put a spoiler warning in the beginning of the episode. It's worth your time and it's on Netflix. If you're even passively interested in it, you should watch it before listening.

Is this one a hidden gem, a misfire, or somewhere in between? We break down the performances, story choices, and whether the movie delivers on its premise or completely wipes out. Tune in to find out if The Rip is worth your time or better left on the cutting room floor.

Reggie and I take a look at the release schedule via whentostream.com and discuss what we are excited for throughout 2026. What are you excited to see? Is there anything that we MUST review?

What was once a patreon-exclusive staple has been brought to the main show. We couldn't let it die, but it's a little different doing it with two people. We might make some changes to the format moving forward. However, you actually get two DIFFERENT movies with this one!

This week on CinemaChat, we’re reviewing Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025), the latest Benoit Blanc mystery from Rian Johnson. We dig into how this third installment shifts the tone of the franchise, leans into themes of faith and community, and whether it stands up to its Knives Out predecessors. Tune in to hear what we thought and where this one lands on our franchise rankings!
