Binge Movies: Rankings and Reviews

The End of Times, Ranked

Sometimes the end is quiet. Sometimes it’s already happened. Jason and film critic Robert Yaniz Jr. map the emotional terrain of the apocalypse, industrial decay, isolation, brutality, and the strange drift of a world that keeps going. The Dark Movie Overlords have sent their final five films: The Quiet Earth, Hardware, Until the End of the World, The Rover, and The Survivalist. And just when all seems lost, a hardcore legend emerges from the wasteland… Mick Foley! Special thanks to Pat (RIP), Combat Jones, the OG Binge Elite, and all of our guests.

Project Hail Mary (2026)

INSTANT REACTION Fresh out of the theater, Jason delivers an instant reaction to the long-awaited sci-fi adaptation that’s been building serious buzz. Spoiler-free raw, immediate thoughts on the tone, performances, spectacle, and all of the FEELS.  Is this the next great sci-fi crowd-pleaser?  Hit play before you buy your ticket.   Credits Host: Jason Produced by: Binge Movies Franchisees: Heather, Dan, Jason, Matt, Pete Support: patreon.com/bingemovies [http://patreon.com/bingemovies]

Scream 7 (2026)

Straight out of the theater, spoiler-free instant reaction to Scream 7!  The latest chapter in the most self-aware horror franchise of all time. And yes, Sidney Prescott returns. But is this legacy revival earned? Is it a nostalgia trap? A course correction? Or something disastrous?  No spoilers. No plot breakdown. Just raw, immediate reaction from someone who lives and breathes this genre.

High Concept/Low Budget, Ranked

High concept ideas don’t need studio money, just nerve, invention, and a willingness to get weird. This week on Binge Movies, Jason is joined by Paul from The Slashers [?%20Four%20films%20enter%20the%20vault.%20Only%20the%20most%20inventive%20survives.%20Coming%20to%20you%20from%20the%20last%20video%20store%20in%20the%20universe%E2%80%94this%20is%20Binge%20Movies.] and The Countdown [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-countdown/id979577413] to rank and eliminate a lineup of high-concept, low-budget films that swing big with limited resources. These are movies built on bold premises, scrappy execution, and the kind of creative problem-solving that only comes from constraint. Some stretch their ideas to the breaking point. Others prove that a great hook can outweigh a thin wallet. All of them raise the same question: when money is scarce, what really matters?

Welcome Back

After years of service under a binding billion-year contract, the former caretaker of the Last Video Store in the Universe now resides somewhere quiet, clean, and unsettlingly expensive. Far away from the Last Video Store in the Universe. But... The store is still open. The aisles are intact. The lights are on. Please begin making your way back to Akron.
