| 6/12/26 | Steven Spielberg's 'Disclosure Day' is Bad | Today we explore why Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day did not work for us, from its messy sci-fi/spy-thriller structure to its underdeveloped appeals to empathy and unity. We talk through the film’s strongest moments, Emily Blunt’s performance, its connections to Close Encounters, E.T., Minority Report, Signs, and Arrival, and why its “just listen to each other” message feels too thin for the themes it gestures toward.You can also sign up for our Patreon as a free member below to listen to free episodes on two of Spielberg’s greatest films: Jaws and Jurassic Park.Become a member of The Extra Credits+ on Patreon hereTikTok: The Extra CreditsThe Extra Credits YouTube ChannelLetterboxd: The Extra CreditsInstagram: @theextracreditsTwitter: @theextracreditsSend requests, questions, and thoughts to our email: extracreditspod@gmail.com | — | ||||||
| 5/16/26 | ‘Obsession’ is an Iconic Gen Z Horror Movie | Kelsi and Trey dive deep into Curry Barker’s Obsession, one of the most exciting original horror films we’ve seen in years. We break down why the movie feels like evil 500 Days of Summer meets Hereditary, how it turns modern dating anxieties, male entitlement, and the fantasy of “the one” into a supernatural nightmare, and why Inde Navarrette’s performance is the emotional and horrifying center of the film. We also discuss the movie as a Gen Z relationship horror classic, a darkly funny cautionary tale, and ultimately a tragedy about agency and possession.

| 5/7/26 | The Glossy Contradictions of 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' + 'The Odyssey' and 'Resident Evil' Trailer Reactions | Kelsi and Trey dive into The Devil Wears Prada sequel with a full spoiler discussion: from Emily Blunt stealing the movie to the film’s bizarre politics around journalism, fashion, labor, AI, and billionaire ownership. They break down why the sequel works best as glossy camp and nostalgia comedy, even as it tries to posture as a serious story about integrity and corporate power. Plus: reactions to the new The Odyssey trailer, thoughts on the new Resident Evil, and Trey gives a quick review of the new horror film Hokum.Become a member of The Extra Credits+ on Patreon hereTikTok: The Extra CreditsThe Extra Credits YouTube ChannelLetterboxd: The Extra CreditsInstagram: @theextracreditsTwitter: @theextracreditsSend requests, questions, and thoughts to our email: extracreditspod@gmail.com | — | ||||||

| 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.

| 3/16/26 | Oscars 2026: Did 'Sinners' Get Robbed? Ryan Coogler, Paul Thomas Anderson, & 'One Battle After Another' | Kelsi and Trey break down whether or not Ryan Coogler's Sinners got robbed at the 98th Academy Awards, as well as explore the biggest moments of the night: from Paul Thomas Anderson finally winning Best Picture with One Battle After Another to Michael B. 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.

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.
