Two things that come to mind watching #Frankenstein.

1. del Toro remains the king of production design. Every location, set and costume are immaculate.

2. There’s an unmistakable vibe that @realgdt.bsky.social is making the movies he’s always wanted to make growing up and I love it.

Nobody 2 is a fun sequel that leans heavily on callbacks to the first film. #nobody2movie #moviepodcast #actionmovies scottsself-indulgentmovieblog.blogspot.com/2025/11/nobo...
Nobody 2
Nobody 2 is a fun, if overly familiar, sequel.

Dwayne Johnson put together his best performance in almost a decade. Shame the movie lacks the same heft. #TheSmashingMachine features great acting and a messy script. #moviepodcast scottsself-indulgentmovieblog.blogspot.com/2025/11/the-...
The Smashing Machine
While Johnson gives a fantastic performance, he's let down by an incomplete script.

If you wanted a throwback to 90s crime comedies, this'll do. #CaughtStealing's kinetic energy overrides its faults in today's review. #moviepodcast scottsself-indulgentmovieblog.blogspot.com/2025/11/caug...
Caught Stealing
What Caught Stealing lacks in depth, it more than makes up for with a faithful recreation of the 90s crime comedy vibe.

This Stephen King adaptation is respected, but not revered. Today I dig into what 1408 is missing. #MoviePodcast #1408 #HorrorMovies #stephenking

1408 (Revisited)
Why isn't 1408 considered a horror classic? Today I explain why.

#TheLongWalk is one of the best bad times I've had at the movies this year. Searing performances, with another revelatory turn from David Jonsson and a pulsing humanist core. #MoviePodcast #stephenking

scottsself-indulgentmovieblog.blogspot.com/2025/11/the-...
The Long Walk
With a humanist approach to a bleak story, The Long Road adapts King's story for maximum emotional impact.

It's hard to invoke Loftcraftian monsters on a budget...and this one almost does it. #OlderGods is now on Tubi. #moviepodcast #horrormovies

scottsself-indulgentmovieblog.blogspot.com/2025/10/olde...
Older Gods
Though it doesn't hit as hard as it could, Older Gods delivers plenty of Lovecraftian and folk horror on a budget.

He's finally getting married to his longtime girlfriend...in his head. #borderline is absolutely wild ride. #moviepodcast #horrormovies

Borderline
Gleefully bouncing between genres with excellent performances across the board, Borderline is weird, wild fun.

Sometimes accidentally killing your neighbor is what you need to change your life. #destroyallneighbors' cartoonish splatter fun is now on Shudder. #moviepodcast #horrormovies

scottsself-indulgentmovieblog.blogspot.com/2025/10/dest...
Destroy All Neighbors
With an Evil Dead-esque approach and a battery of comedy performers swinging for the fences, Destroy All Neighbors hit a sweet spot for me.

#UntilDawn is this close to be a great video game movie. Today I'm talking about Sony's time loop horror flick. #moviepodcast #horrormovies

scottsself-indulgentmovieblog.blogspot.com/2025/10/unti...
Until Dawn
Despite stumbling at the finish line, Until Dawn has enough over-the-top fun and heart to enjoy.

This slasher has some novel ideas...but it is enoguh? Today I'm talking about Shudder's Night of the Reaper. #nightofthereaper #moviepodcast #horrormovies

scottsself-indulgentmovieblog.blogspot.com/2025/10/nigh...
Night of the Reaper
Though it's big twist doesn't hit as hard as it could, Night of the Reaper has enough atmosphere to earn a light recommendation for genre fans.

You know it's a horror movie when someone suggests a grieving man goes to his grandmother's run down country home by himself. #TheTwin's emotional hook gets muddled by genre conventions. #moviepodcast #horrormovies

scottsself-indulgentmovieblog.blogspot.com/2025/10/the-...
The Twin
Though it has a lot of appealing elements, The Twin's script could've used a few tweaks.

#TheConjuringLastRites loses sight of what made the original films work in today's review. #horrormovies #moviepodcast

scottsself-indulgentmovieblog.blogspot.com/2025/10/the-...
The Conjuring: Last Rites
Last Rites may not be a terrible movie, and it's far from the worst in this franchise, but the cracks in the facade have never been more obvious.

Intriguing and impactful, Weapons will certainly stick with me.

Yesterday I was gushing about an anime movie. Today I'm here to convince you that this adaptation is a movie miracle. Are You There God? It's Me Margaret, is an immaculately crafted movie. #moviepodcast #areyoutheregoditsmemargaret

We did it nerds! We made an anime movie the #1 movie in America for TWO STRAIGHT WEEKS! Anyhoo, here's my review of the phenomenon that is Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba: Infinity Castle. #anime #moviepodcast #demonslayerinfinitycastle

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba: Infinity Castle
Though it definitely hits best with fans, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba: Infinity Castle's winning formula is just as effective on the big screen.

If a movie is popular enough for Netflix to put it in theaters, you've probably got something special. #KpopDemonHunters is a charming movie for the whole family. #moviepodcast #Netflix

KPop Demon Hunters
Immaculately constructed and performed from start to finish, KPop Demon Hunters lives up to the hype.

Dave Franco and Alison Brie get uncomfortably close in this bit of body horror. Together is a gross and savy look at co-dependency. #moviepodcast #horrormovies

Together
A great idea with even better execution, Together delivers an excellent bit of body horror.

Tim Robinson hits the big screen with his absurd delivery intact. #friendship is a wonderfully dark and bonkers, now on #HBOMax! #moviepodcast

scottsself-indulgentmovieblog.blogspot.com/2025/09/frie...
Friendship
Mining Robinson's unique delivery for everything it's worth, Friendship is a painfully funny dark comedy.

Tom Cruise rides into the sunset on an unexpectedly emotional note...with the stunt-fueled madness perfectly intact. #MissionImpossibleTheFinalReckoning is a fitting end to the franchise. #moviepodcast

Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning
Though it may not reach the adrenaline-fueled highs of the franchise, The Final Reckoning sends Ethan into the sunset with style.

I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025)
While the dialogue is clunky, there's still plenty of schlocky fun to be had here with more depth than I expected.
