In this week’s episode of Fictionally Unstable, we chat about the movie Together, starring Dave Franco and Alison Brie.

We talk "psychological" horror, toxic relationships, and how Together manages to make codependency the scariest part of this film. Although the acting was top tier, that cursed school bathroom scene really did it for us (we’re still deeply disturbed).

We break down the moments that actually worked, the scenes that flopped, and why watching two people literally melt together might not be the metaphor for love we needed.

This week on Fictionally Unstable, we read The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton. We’re left with fried brain cells, time-loop trauma, and about six too many personalities to keep track of. (We apologize in advance for whatever chaos Lauryn managed to piece together.) Join us as we attempt to unravel this murder mystery featuring body swaps, existential dread, and the literary equivalent of hitting “shuffle” on your protagonist.

Was it genius? Maybe.

Were we confused? Constantly.

Did we enjoy it? …We think so?

Strap in for 45 minutes of chaos, Jess getting frustrated trying to hold everyone together, and Maciel asking “And who is [literally any character’s name] again?” about twenty times. Spoilers, mild screaming, and very little resolution ahead. Good luck!

This week on Fictionally Unstable, we dive into the cinematic chaos that is Weapons, directed by Zach Cregger - a film that left us hysterically laughing and questioning everything we thought we knew about modern horror. We give our personal ratings (gold star for Jess, our horror genre avoidant), plot twists we absolutely didn’t see coming, and James - the unexpected MVP of the entire film.

Tune in as we unpack the madness, the brilliance, and the moments that made us pause and whisper, “Wait…what?”

This week on Fictionally Unstable, we break down the chaotic film that is Sinners directed by Ryan Coogler - from bloodthirsty Irishmen, soulfully complex characters, to that freaky scene between Mary and Stack (you know what...you better work Hailee Steinfeld). We give our overall ratings, and dive into the surprising symbolism woven throughout the madness: religion, redemption, power, temptation...and did we mention vampires doing jigs around a fire? Let's get into it!

This week on Fictionally Unstable, we’re reviewing Netflix’s Box Office NUMBER 1 film, K-Pop Demon Hunters. We talk about our favorite members of Huntrix, the captivating members of Saja Boys, and the incredible soundtrack we didn't expect. We'll give you our ratings of not only the movie, but of the songs we have on repeat...and the ones we skip over (sorry Jess.)

We also chat about our hopes for the sequel of this story and quiz each other on which KDH character we're most like.

Get cozy, grab your ramyun, and be delusional about "Rujinu's" happy ending with us!

This week on Fictionally Unstable, we're talking bout Squid Game Season 3 and the final season of this Kdrama series — the plot twists of Player 456, the emotional damage, and the characters who made us yell, “WHY would you do that?!” And we have lots of questions about that ending... Was it satisfying? Was it fair? And would we have made it out ourselves? (an obvious "no")

And finally, we chat about the upcoming U.S. series adaption. Will it live up to the Korean original? We're breaking down our speculations, suggestions, and what American games we hope to see in this version – Red Rover? Tic Tac Toe? Heads up 7-up?

If you’re into screaming at your screen, questionable morality, and oddly specific children’s games turned deadly — grab your dalgona candy and tune in!

In this week’s episode, we’re giving our thoughts on Materialists — the emotionally messy romantic dramedy starring Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal, and Chris Evans. This film has us reflecting on the standards of modern dating, marrying for love or stability, and if true romance can survive in today's capitalist crisis (the answer is yes...given the romance is coming from Pedro Pascal.)

We also get a little personal as we unpack what our own love languages look like, what we've learned in our relationships, and what we're still figuring out.

Whether you're choosing a John type or a Harry type – hit play and join the conversation!

This week we’re diving deep into Sirens, the Netflix series that's got us thinking: who are the real sirens of this drama? This five-part series mixes Greek mythology with modern-day power plays, and we’re here for every twisty, toxic moment.

We talk about Michaela, the ultra-rich, mysterious woman running what might be a retreat… or maybe a cult? Simone, who gets pulled under Michaela’s tide, while her sister Devon tries to bring her back to reality. These "Sirens" are dealing with trauma, power, and control in a world that constantly tries to define them.

If you’re into stories of power dynamics, complicated characters, or just love a good psychological drama with mythic undertones, this one’s for you!
