Episode 1-8: Hitting the High Notes of 2026

About this episode

Colin and Tim discuss movie predictions for 2026 while featuring a correspondent's report and various humorous questions.

In a first for the podcast, Colin and Tim open up the episode with boots on the ground reporting from our intrepid correspondent S-cake aka Skac aka 9er. After his breaking news from the frozen frontlines, the podcast finally grants Tim's wish of providing him the platform to spit hot fire predictions and proclamations for the upcoming movie year. Did he actually have enough content to justify an entire episode? That and other questions we answer: Does Colin know what year it is? Does Tim remember the conversation Colin and him had about not spending that much money seeing movies in theaters? Has Tim seen every movie released in January in theaters? Who hits a better high note? Was the Mark Wahlberg Planet of the Apes the best Planet of the Apes? Who died?!?!? (Answer: Catherine O'Hara) Has Tim ever been invited to Feb Fest? When was the last time Feb Fest was held in February? This episode includes AI-generated content.
