| 4/4/26 | Is 'The Drama' Problematic? Zendaya & Pattinson’s Divisive Rom-Com | Kelsi and Trey unpack The Drama: Zendaya and Robert Pattinson’s chaotic, uncomfortable, and deeply divisive rom-com. We dive into its central “thought vs. action” premise, the psychology behind its relationships, the mostly spectacular acting, and why this might be one of the strangest modern takes on the genre.

| 3/19/26 | Why ‘Project Hail Mary’ Is Overrated | Kelsi and Trey break down the Dune: Part Three trailer: what’s working, what we’re worried about, and why this could be a massive finale. Then we review Project Hail Mary, a totally derivative sci-fi that feels like it was generated by AI…and yet we had a blast in a theater. Gosling carries, Rocky steals the movie, and somehow it all kind of works. Would’ve hated this at home!!Become a member of The Extra Credits+ on Patreon hereThe Extra Credits YouTube ChannelLetterboxd: The Extra CreditsTikTok: The Extra CreditsInstagram: @theextracreditsTwitter: @theextracreditsSend requests, questions, and thoughts to our email: extracreditspod@gmail.com | — | ||||||

Jordan’s Best Actor victory and Autumn Durald Arkapaw making history in cinematography. They also talk Conan O’Brien’s hosting, surprise wins, and the strangest bits of the ceremony. Plus: why Sinners, despite its record 16 nominations, still felt like the movie everyone was actually talking about.Become a member of The Extra Credits+ on Patreon hereThe Extra Credits YouTube ChannelLetterboxd: The Extra CreditsTikTok: The Extra CreditsInstagram: @theextracreditsTwitter: @theextracreditsSend requests, questions, and thoughts to our email: extracreditspod@gmail.com | — | ||||||
| 2/22/26 | 'Wuthering Heights,' 'How to Make a Killing' & 'Crime 101' + What We’re Watching | Kelsi and Trey break down Emerald Fennell’s ‘Wuthering Heights,’ the darkly absurd inheritance satire ‘How to Make a Killing,’ and the slick theatrical crime thriller ‘Crime 101.’ They talk non-spoiler reactions, performances, and the bigger conversations surrounding these films: from Fennell discourse to the state of adult genre filmmaking in theaters.

His debut feature film about friendship, tradition, and the quiet ways people try to hold on to joy.

| 1/31/26 | 'Send Help': Rachel McAdams & Dylan O’Brien Try to Kill (or Love) Each Other | Kelsi and Trey dive into Sam Raimi’s Send Help, a sunburned survival thriller starring Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien. What starts as a workplace comedy mutates into a campy island horror-romance about power, control, and survival--anchored by one of McAdams’ most committed genre performances.Become a member of The Extra Credits+ on Patreon hereThe Extra Credits YouTube ChannelLetterboxd: The Extra CreditsTikTok: The Extra CreditsInstagram: @theextracreditsTwitter: @theextracreditsSend requests, questions, and thoughts to our email: extracreditspod@gmail.com | — | ||||||
| 1/14/26 | '28 Years Later: The Bone Temple' is an Instant Horror Classic | Kelsi and Trey explore 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, Nia DaCosta’s wild, hilarious, and deeply unsettling follow-up in one of horror’s most ambitious franchises. We start spoiler-free, breaking down our reactions, the theater experience, and why The Bone Temple plays less like a traditional sequel and more like a bold, gory side quest. Then we dive fully into spoilers, unpacking Ralph Fiennes’ strangely warm and unhinged performance, Jack O’Connell’s terrifyingly chaotic scenes, DaCosta’s tone-bending direction, and how the film turns belief, ritual, and violence into spectacle.

| 1/6/26 | 'Avatar: Fire and Ash' and Its Problematic Franchise | Kelsi and Trey discuss Avatar: Fire and Ash — a visually stunning, emotionally manipulative, and politically confused entry in James Cameron’s blockbuster franchise. They break down why the film’s spectacle still works, how its treatment of colonialism and “good settler” fantasy becomes increasingly muddled, and why the story isn’t actually about the Fire and Ash people at all. Along the way, they unpack the fandom, the franchise’s strange cultural footprint, and where Avatar might be headed next.

| 1/2/26 | A Farewell to 'Stranger Things' | Season 5 Deep Dive | Kelsi and Trey react to the Season 5 finale of Stranger Things and say goodbye to a series that’s been with us for nearly a decade. We break down what worked and what didn’t in the final season, why the ending felt emotionally effective but narratively uneven, and how the show slowly shifted from coming-of-age storytelling to lore-heavy spectacle. Then we zoom out for a farewell deep dive on what Stranger Things meant to us, its characters, and the Netflix era that shaped it...for better and worse.The Extra Credits YouTube ChannelBecome a member of The Extra Credits+ on Patreon hereLetterboxd: The Extra CreditsTikTok: The Extra CreditsReddit: r/TheExtraCreditsInstagram: @theextracreditsTwitter: @theextracreditsSend requests, questions, and thoughts to our email: extracreditspod@gmail.com | — | ||||||

| 9/4/25 | What Went Wrong with Spike Lee’s ‘Highest 2 Lowest’? | Spike Lee’s Highest 2 Lowest is bold, stylish, funny, and frustrating all at once. In this episode, Trey and Kelsi explore Spike’s return to the crime thriller with Denzel Washington and Jeffrey Wright grounding the story, and A$AP Rocky stepping in as a surprising antagonist. We dig into how the film tries to channel the social bite of Inside Man, and the moral weight of Kurosawa’s High and Low, but often veers into goofy tangents, uneven tone, and surface-level commentary instead of the sharper critique Spike’s known for.

| 7/26/25 | 'Superman' vs. 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' – Can the DCU and MCU Save Superheroes? | Kelsi and Trey are back to discuss superheroes: we break down James Gunn’s Superman and Marvel’s Fantastic Four: First Steps, two attempts to reboot tired franchises with sincerity and with varying results. First, we dive into Gunn’s earnest, squirrel-saving cutie Superman, Corenswet’s surprising star turn, and the film’s big ideas about media and occupation. Then we get into Fantastic Four's gorgeous retro-futurist world, Julia Garner’s ethereal Silver Surfer, and a script that feels like it was written by four sitcom dads. Plus: summer movie shout-outs (Sorry Baby, Friendship, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Jurassic World: Rebirth), our superhero fatigue, and our hopes for a live-action Miles Morales and Batman Beyond.

| 7/16/25 | Ari Aster's 'Eddington': The Cult of America | Kelsi and Trey dive deep into Ari Aster’s bold and chaotic new film Eddington—a post-pandemic western satire that takes aim at America’s digital echo chambers.
