For Episode 485, I am joined by Josh Parham, Aaron Danielle, and Giovanni Lago as we look back on the first three months of 2026 to name our favorite, least favorite, most surprising, and disappointing film releases of the year so far. Tying into this week’s poll question, we’re asking everyone: “Which Has Been Your Favorite Film Of Q1 2026?” We also reveal the winner of last week’s poll asking “Which 2026 Awards Season Contenders Are You Most Looking Forward To?,” share our reactions to the trailers for “Moana,” “Forgotten Island,” “The Furious,” “Rosebush Pruning,” “Stop! That! Train!,” answer your fan-submitted questions, and more! Thank you all for listening, subscribing, and supporting us. We hope you enjoy!
