Grierson & Leitch

"The Odyssey," "Office Space"

All right, the biggest movie of the year is here: It's Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey." We have a very long deep dive on it after you've seen it. We hope you enjoy. Also, we have a Reboot this week, but just one: It's 1999's "Office Space." You may have heard of it. Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy.  Let us know what you think @griersonleitch on Twitter or Bluesky, or griersonleitch@gmail.com. 

"Evil Dead Burn," "The Invite," "Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass"

We've got three new movies this week, and they're very different. First, it's the horror anthology segment "Evil Dead Burn." Then it's Olivia Wilde's A24 sex comedy "The Invite," with Seth Rogen, Edward Norton and Penelope Cruz. And then an actual sex comedy about having sex with Jon Hamm, "Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass." Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy.  Let us know what you think @griersonleitch on Twitter or Bluesky, or griersonleitch@gmail.com. 

The Best Movies of the First Half of 2026

It's our annual show, every July 4th, when we look back at the best movies of the first half of the year. Grierson gives his six best, and Leitch does as well. And enjoy America's 250th birthday, we guess! Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy.  Let us know what you think @griersonleitch on Twitter or Bluesky, or griersonleitch@gmail.com. 

"Supergirl," "Jackass: Last and Best," What the Success of "Obsession" and "Backrooms" Means

There's a new DC movie out, from the James Gunn stable, it's "Supergirl." Also, there's a very very very different movie out, the final (probably) Jackass movie, "Jackass: Best and Last." But the real discussion is a long overdue one: We dig into, deeply, the success of "Obsession" and "Backrooms," which is about age and moviegoing changes and what makes people fall in love with the movies in the first place. This was a very, very fun talk. We hope you enjoy it. Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy.  Let us know what you think @griersonleitch on Twitter or Bluesky, or griersonleitch@gmail.com. 

"Toy Story 5," "The Death of Robin Hood," "The Last Temptation of Christ"

They made another "Toy Story!" Can "Toy Story 5" live up to the legacy? Meanwhile, the guy who directed "Pig" made a movie called "The Death of Robin Hood" with Hugh Jackman. And we have a Reboot too: It's Martin Scorsese's infamous "The Last Temptation of Christ." Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy.  Let us know what you think @griersonleitch on Twitter or Bluesky, or griersonleitch@gmail.com.
