Millennial Movie Mob Podcast about movies that stay with you long after the credits roll

Wicked: For Good has a lot going for it — breathtaking production design, a genuinely moving finale, and Cynthia Erivo doing the most with every single scene. But the second half rushes through emotional beats that the story really needed to sit in. It's a good film that could have been a great one. And Glinda's whole arc is basically: what happens when the pretty, popular girl realizes she's been a government mouthpiece? Heavy.

Zombieland: Double Tap is the kind of sequel that exists because everyone liked the first one enough to show up for a second round — and it's perfectly aware of that. The core cast is still charming, the rules are still fun, and Zoey Deutch as Madison is genuinely one of the funniest additions to a comedy sequel in recent memory. But it's also a movie that spends a lot of energy reminding you how much you loved Zombieland instead of doing something new enough to justify a decade-long wait. It's a good time if you go in with calibrated expectations. Just don't expect it to hit the same way the first one did.

Remarkably Bright Creatures is the kind of film that sneaks up on you — you think you're watching a cozy small-town mystery about a widow and an octopus, and then somewhere along the way it just completely takes you out. Sally Field is extraordinary as Tova, Alfred Molina voicing Marcellus is an absolutely unhinged and perfect casting choice, and Lewis Pullman holds his own against both of them, which is no small feat. The book spent over 64 weeks on the NYT bestseller list, and the film is already sitting at number one on Netflix after just a few days — so the people have spoken. It's warm and it's sad and it has a lot to say about grief, connection, and what it means to let someone in after loss. Go watch it, and maybe have some tissues nearby.

We Have Always Lived in the Castle is one of the most quietly unsettling films I've seen — and it only gets more disturbing the longer you sit with it. Taissa Farmiga as Merricat is doing something genuinely strange and brilliant, Crispin Glover is perfectly unhinged, and Alexandra Daddario brings a fragile warmth that makes the whole thing ache. It's gothic, it's eerie, and underneath the spells and the arsenic it's really a story about two sisters and what love looks like when it's been warped by survival. If you haven't read the Shirley Jackson novel, this is a great entry point. If you have, you already know exactly why this story is impossible to shake.

So Krazy House opens like a wholesome 90s family sitcom, canned laughter and all, and then Russian criminals show up and everything goes completely off the rails. Nick Frost plays the most bumbling, God-fearing dad you've ever seen slowly descending into full madness — and Alicia Silverstone is there being wonderfully unhinged alongside him. It's not for everyone (the reviews are brutal), but if you like your horror comedy weird and chaotic, this one's worth knowing about.

David Fincher's The Game (1997) is the kind of thriller that makes you question every single scene — is this real, or is it part of the game? Michael Douglas plays a cold, isolated millionaire whose brother (Sean Penn) gives him a gift that turns into a complete psychological nightmare. It sits right between Se7en and Fight Club in Fincher's filmography and somehow remains his most underrated work. If you love movies that mess with your head, this one's essential.

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun is pure chaotic 80s joy and I loved every second of it. Sarah Jessica Parker deserved the world and this movie knew it.

Okay I need to talk about Is This Thing On? because Will Arnett gives the performance of his career and I don't think enough people saw this movie. A man finds stand-up comedy right as his marriage is falling apart — and somehow it's hilarious AND heartbreaking. Bradley Cooper directing quietly, letting Arnett and Laura Dern do the heavy lifting. This one stayed with me.

Visually stunning, narratively a nap. ⭐⭐⭐/5

Hot take: The Princess Bride isn’t just a quirky fantasy classic—it leans into racist stereotypes and straight-up fatphobia. Nostalgia’s doing a LOT of heavy lifting here. Revisit it… it hits different.

🎬 Beast (2017) is one of the most underrated psychological thrillers of the last decade.
At its centre is Moll — a character every bit as complex and fascinating as Travis Bickle from Taxi Driver. Volatile, deeply repressed, morally ambiguous. Director Michael Pearce built her that way intentionally, and Jessie Buckley delivers one of the best performances you'll ever see in a film this underseen.
I get into her psychology, the unreliable narration, and why this film deserves way more attention than it gets.
Did you sympathise with Moll, or did she unsettle you? 👇
