This week on episode #176 of The Harsh Language Podcast, we dive into Supergirl and the exhausting discourse that seems to surround every new DC movie before anyone can simply talk about whether the movie is actually good. We break down what worked for us, what didn’t, and how the conversation surrounding Supergirl became as interesting as the movie itself. We also get into where the film fits into James Gunn’s growing DCU and what it tells us about the direction this universe is heading.

Plus we try to understand why movie studios continually make decisions that seem designed to lose money, and try to answer the question of whether or not we are entering a new age of comic book movies.

This week on episode #175 of The Harsh Language Podcast, we made Marvin watch Possession for the first time, a movie so singular and uncompromising that the idea of remaking it almost feels impossible. With a new adaptation now in development, we break down what makes the original so difficult to replicate, from its unhinged performances and surreal horror to the deeply personal relationship at the center of it all, and debate what a modern remake could possibly add.We also talk about why physical media may be getting forced into a comeback, what Gen Z actually wants from movies, and whether A24 has lost what once made the studio feel special. Plus we react to Curry Barker taking on The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and what his involvement could mean for one of horror’s most iconic franchises.📌 Chapters00:00 - Physical Media is Getting Forced To Make A Comeback12:20 - What Kinds of Movies Does Gen Z Want To See?18:03 - A24 is Done24:34 - Curry Barker is Making A Texas Chainsaw Massacre26:50 - Possession Review and Why It Shouldn't Be Remade🔔 Subscribe so you don’t miss the next one!💬 Could a Possession remake ever capture what makes the original work, or is this one movie Hollywood should leave alone?🎙️ Listen on your favorite podcast platform: http://bit.ly/4im0Jaq🌐 Connect with us: https://harshlanguage.tv/

This week on episode #174 of The Harsh Language Podcast, we dive into Lee Cronin's The Mummy and debate whether it proves possession horror has finally run out of things to say. The genre has relied on the same ideas for decades, and while this movie tries to put a fresh spin on the formula, we discuss whether it actually brings anything new to the table—or simply reminds us why possession horror has become so creatively stagnant.

We also discuss why Evil Dead isn't the same without Ash, whether six years is simply too long to wait for a sequel, and why we still get excited for sequels and prequels despite constantly complaining about them. Plus we debate how many sequels are too many, why the new Scary Movie could actually be a positive sign for Hollywood, and react to Martin Scorsese's controversial decision to embrace AI.
