Individual Movie Reviews

206 movies in this series

Now Playing Podcast s known for deep dives. Retrospectives. Franchise marathons where we watch every sequel so you don’t have to.

But sometimes… it’s just one movie. Just a single film that demands a review all on its own. Maybe it’s a new release. Maybe it’s a cult oddity. Maybe it’s something too big, too weird, or too interesting to wait for a series around it.

These are our one-off reviews. Standalone episodes for standalone films. No homework required. Just press play.
