Islands & Isolation

Inheritance, Isolation, & Intention/ We’ll See You at the Movies!

🎙️Welcome back, cinephiles, to a final episode of The Eh List Admission! 🎧 🎙️ This week on The Eh List Admission, we’re talking inheritance schemes, quiet midlife reckonings, brutal serial killers… and a little honesty about where this podcast might be headed 🧡🎬 First up — Movie News 🕊️ We reflect on the passing of Robert Duvall 🕊️ Eric Dane has also passed away after his battle with ALS 📺 Warner Bros. is reportedly considering Paramount’s higher bid over an existing Netflix deal 🕵️‍♀️ McKenna Grace has been cast as Daphne Blake in a live-action Scooby-Doo series 💣 Mission: Impossible 9 is reportedly in the works with Tom Cruise 🎥 Movie Reviews — Here’s what we watched: 💰 How to Make a Killing — A sharp, darkly funny satire about a disowned heir plotting “accidents” to reclaim the fortune he believes is his. Slick, morally messy, and driven by ambition at its most obsessive. ❄️ Midwinter Break — A quiet, reflective relationship drama set against wintry Amsterdam canals. Tender, introspective, and deeply human — a meditation on marriage, aging, faith, and the endurance of love. 🔪 Psycho Killer — A grim, relentless crime-horror thriller following a highway patrol officer hunting the sadistic “Satanic Slasher.” Brutal, tense, and unafraid to go dark. 🧡 Second Half: The Eh List Admission — To Be Continued… Before we get into anything heavy, we start with gratitude. If you’ve listened to even one episode, you’ve been part of this weird little movie club we built. We talk honestly about: 🎙️ The reality of podcasting costs ⏳ Time, balance, and creative energy 🎬 Not wanting movies to feel like homework ❤️ Still loving film — just maybe in a different way This isn’t about hating what we built. It’s about protecting why we built it. Maybe this is a season finale. Maybe it’s a pause. Maybe it’s just a reset.

Fleece, Felonies, Frost, & Fate

🎙️Welcome back, cinephiles, to a consuming episode of The Eh List Admission! 🎧 🎙️ This week on The Eh List Admission, we’re talking sports underdogs, elite jewel thieves, gothic obsession, flesh-eating fungus… and three very different philosophies of love 🐐💎🌫️🧫 First up — Movie News! 🕊️ James Van Der Beek has sadly passed away at 48 🏜️ The Mummy 4 is set for May 19, 2028 with the original cast returning 🏎️ An F1 sequel is officially in the works 🕷️ Spider-Punk and Spider-Gwen spinoff films are now in active development 🎥 Movie Reviews — Here’s what we watched: 🐐 GOAT — A high-energy animated underdog story set in a world of talking animals, where one small goat tries to break into a brutal pro sport dominated by giants. It’s colorful, inspirational, and all about proving that “smalls can ball.” 💎 Crime 101 — A sleek, sun-soaked crime thriller about a meticulous jewel thief, a determined detective, and the score that could change everything. Stylish, tense, and driven by character as much as the heists. 🌫️ Wuthering Heights — A dark, sensual reimagining of the gothic romance. Passion, pride, revenge, and obsession crash together on the moors in a love story that refuses to fade quietly. 🧫 Cold Storage — A contained sci-fi horror where a long-buried government biohazard is unleashed inside a suburban storage facility. Claustrophobic, sharp, and pulpy in all the right ways. ❤️ Second Half: Love — Chosen, Conditional, or Consuming? This week we explore three philosophies of love through film: 🔥 Love as Choice vs. Fate Is love something you build… something destined… or something you can’t escape? 💔 Healthy Love vs. Obsession Why do toxic, dramatic love stories often feel more cinematic than stable, healthy ones? ⏳ Intensity vs. Longevity Is love defined by how powerful it feels — or how long it lasts? Plus: 🎬 Which love story would you actually want in real life? 😅 Which one would emotionally exhaust you? 🎭 Which makes the best movie? 📉📈 And of course — we break down the Best and Worst of January. 🎧 Now streaming on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and everywhere you get your podcasts!

SkyDome, Solitary, Strangers, & Sound

🎙️Welcome back, cinephiles, to a hypnotic episode of The Eh List Admission! 🎧 🎙️ This week on The Eh List Admission, we’re bouncing between chaotic comedy, suffocating sci-fi horror, masked slashers, and cursed whistles 👻🎭 First up — Movie News! 🔍 Sherlock Holmes 3 is officially in development 🏆 Steven Spielberg earns an EGOT (casual legend behavior) 🐱 Puss in Boots 3 is on the way 🪚 A24 now owns the rights to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 🎥 Movie Reviews — Here’s what we watched: ⏱️ Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie — A wildly Canadian, painfully awkward time-travel comedy where two lifelong friends accidentally strand themselves in 2008 while still trying (and failing) to book a gig at Toronto’s Rivoli. Absurd, self-aware, and built entirely on commitment to the bit. 🚢 Iron Lung — A claustrophobic, slow-burn sci-fi nightmare set inside a tiny submarine exploring a blood-red ocean after the universe goes dark. Psychological, isolating, and relentlessly tense, with horror driven by atmosphere more than jump scares. 🔪 The Strangers: Chapter 3 — The brutal final chapter of the reboot trilogy, pushing its survivor from prey to confrontation. Mean, lean, and focused on closing the story with escalation rather than mercy. 📯 Whistle — A cursed-object teen horror where an ancient Aztec death whistle summons your future demise. High-concept, fast-moving, and built on the terrifying idea that once you hear it… it’s already too late. 🎭👻 Second Half Discussion: Comedy vs Horror — Why People Love Them We break down: 😂 Why comedy is comfort viewing, stress relief, and endlessly rewatchable 😱 Why horror offers catharsis, adrenaline, and controlled fear 🤝 What both genres have in common (timing, community, strong reactions) 🤔 Why people are often firmly “one or the other” 🔥 Plus: Is comedy harder to pull off than horror? And which genre ages better? ❓ Did We Know? We close things out with a Did We Know? segment for each of this week’s reviewed films — packed with behind-the-scenes facts, strange details, and context that makes these movies even more interesting. 🎧 Now streaming on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and everywhere you get your podcasts!
