Hokum (2026) 88% 3.5/4.0 EDIT “Teeming with atmosphere and driven by a compelling lead performance, Damien McCarthy’s "Hokum" is the kind of film that slowly gets under your skin, a deliberately paced shocker that gradually builds to a well-deserved catharsis for its main character.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam May 7, 2026 Full Review The Sheep Detectives (2026) 95% 3.5/4.0 EDIT “Deftly executed and suffused with a wry sense of humor, Kyle Balda’s "The Sheep Detectives" is likely to entertain the adults in the audience more than the children it’s seemingly aimed at. ” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam May 7, 2026 Full Review Tuner (2025) 93% 2.5/4.0 EDIT “This is a slickly rendered movie that is, for the most part, captivating.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam May 4, 2026 Full Review Animal Farm (2025) 27% 2/4 EDIT “There’s an in-your-face crassness to the story that’s off-putting.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Apr 29, 2026 Full Review Deep Water (2026) 73% 3.5/4.0 EDIT “In the end, this glorified B-movie delivers much more than expected, something many modern movies with bigger budgets and higher profile stars can’t claim.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Apr 29, 2026 Full Review Apex (2026) 67% 2.5/4.0 EDIT “In the end, "Apex" proves a mixed bag, a film I was leaning towards liking, that is until it wandered in the realm of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and suddenly, it wasn’t the movie I thought it was or wanted it to be.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Apr 24, 2026 Full Review Fuze (2025) 73% 2.5/4.0 EDIT “The story zigs when you expect it to zag, but never in a way that seems convenient or unrealistic. ” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Apr 23, 2026 Full Review Over Your Dead Body (2026) 68% 2.5/4.0 EDIT “Jorma Taccone’s otherwise serviceable dark comedy, "Over Your Dead Body" is the latest production to tax my patience, a film that for the most part I liked…until, I didn’t.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Apr 22, 2026 Full Review Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) 47% 3.5/4.0 EDIT “A brilliant reimagining of one of horrors seminal creations, "Lee Cronin’s The Mummy" is a genuinely disturbing new film that manages to succeed where so many recent genre entries have failed. ” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Apr 21, 2026 Full Review Balls Up (2026) 23% 3/4 EDIT “I’m not proud that I laughed at the numerous jokes relating to private parts, a bit involving a urethra-invading fish or the numerous inappropriate one-liners "Balls" contains. But I’m not going to apologize either. ” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Apr 16, 2026 Full Review Normal (2025) 76% 3/4 EDIT “Tongue is planted firmly in cheek throughout, Odenkirk and his castmates conveying they don’t believe a bit of what’s happening and you shouldn’t either. ” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Apr 14, 2026 Full Review Outcome (2026) 28% 3/4 EDIT “Reeves, who’s allowed his stoicism to become a crutch at times, delivers a genuinely poignant, and perhaps, his best performance. ” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Apr 13, 2026 Full Review Faces of Death (2026) 68% 0/4 EDIT “This is a vile piece of work that cloaks itself in "social relevance" before revealing itself to be an obscene, exploitation movie, the kind of which it is supposedly criticizing.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Apr 8, 2026 Full Review The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) 42% 2/4 EDIT “There was a sense of joy and fun in the previous movie that was infectious. Here all involved are simply going through the motions, something that does not bode well for the many sequels to come or the non-fans who will have to endure them.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Apr 2, 2026 Full Review Fantasy Life (2025) 81% 2.5/4.0 EDIT “In Dianne, Peet creates a portrait of a woman in crisis, her mental health issues allowing her to appear functional but little else. It’s a subtly moving turn, the character relatable and recognizable thanks to the actress's fine work.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Mar 31, 2026 Full Review The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist (2026) 90% 3.5/4.0 EDIT “When it’s suggested the key to our survival is the creation of an international organization to ensure AI be used responsibly and for the benefit of all, I couldn’t help but think that, as Warren Zevon advised, we should begin enjoying every sandwich.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Mar 30, 2026 Full Review Pretty Lethal (2026) 57% 3/4 EDIT “This unexpectedly enjoyable, albeit bloody time-filler is better than expected and, if nothing else, permanently lays to rest the notion that dancers of this sort are delicate and fragile.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Mar 26, 2026 Full Review Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) 74% 3/4 EDIT “The script is a witty exercise, its characters clearly drawn, the story imaginative and the tone mischievous. They populate the film with a rogues’ gallery of elites who are so over-the-top deplorable, we can’t wait to see each meet a grisly end. ” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Mar 25, 2026 Full Review They Will Kill You (2026) 65% 0/4 EDIT “The attempts at humor when heads start to roll fall flat, the "jokes" all obvious, their execution, ham-fisted. As a result, the film’s bloodletting, which is too frequent and repetitious comes off as disturbing and gratuitous. ” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Mar 25, 2026 Full Review Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice (2026) 76% 2/4 EDIT “Before enduring this surprisingly dull exercise, I didn’t realize I needed a time travel-hitman-buddy-movie-dramedy. Ironically, after sitting through this slog of a movie, that need remains.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Mar 25, 2026 Full Review undertone (2025) 74% 3/4 EDIT “There are moments when it all comes together and manages to get under your skin in a way that only the best horror films can.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (2026) 90% 3.5/4.0 EDIT “Accurate period production values, a poignant script from the show’s creator Steven Knight and strong performances from series veterans and newcomers alike, combine to provide a gripping and satisfying conclusion to its anti-hero’s story arc.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Project Hail Mary (2026) 94% 3/4 EDIT “As much as I liked the movie’s first two hours, its final 30 minutes dampened its appeal. Rather than ending once the initial conflict is rectified, a further narrative complication is introduced that lessens the film’s overall impact. ” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Mar 11, 2026 Full Review Slanted (2025) 68% 3/4 EDIT “Through the eyes of its sympathetic protagonist, the film manages to address not only the pressures facing modern young women, but also the Catch-22 social dynamics immigrants who come to America must contend with.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Mar 10, 2026 Full Review Hoppers (2026) 94% 2/4 EDIT “Had Chong wanted to deliver a valuable message, it should have been that adults sometimes don’t mean what they say, but I guess that’s not necessary. They find out soon enough.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Mar 9, 2026 Full Review
