Somewhere around late September, my Letterboxd feed started acting weird. Half the people were hyping a gory anthology made by the Dead Meat crowd, and the other half were posting reviews of a prison-set influencer slasher. Same title, totally different movies. If you’ve been googling “Is Fresh Meat 2026 streaming?” and getting nowhere, that’s why. You’re…
Okay, I need to talk about this. The people behind Dead Meat, the YouTube channel where you go to watch James A. Janisse and Chelsea Rebecca dissect slasher kill counts with way too much love, made a real movie. It’s called Fresh Meat, and it hits theaters for one night only on October 12, 2026….
I’m tired of thrillers that look gorgeous in a trailer and then dissolve into the same grey crime-procedural mush by episode three. So when Below popped up on my radar, I rolled my eyes first. A sea monster, a small fishing town, a handful of familiar faces. Seen it, right? Then I watched the trailer…
Some shows sneak up on you. Others arrive with a trailer so cold and wet you can almost feel the sea spray through the screen. Below is the second kind. All six episodes land on Netflix this Thursday, October 8, 2026, and I’ve been circling that date for weeks. I haven’t seen a single episode…
I have a weakness for horror where the setting does half the work. Give me fog, a failing town, and something wrong under the water, and I’m in. So when Netflix’s Below started popping up everywhere after its TIFF debut on September 10, I pretty much cleared my schedule. The six-episode miniseries lands on October…
I don’t usually get emotional about weather documentaries. Give me a crime series with a twisty finale or a slow-burn sci-fi show and I’m there. But then the Stormbound trailer dropped in mid-September, and I rewatched it four times in one evening. Two days from now, on Wednesday, October 7, it opens in IMAX across…

I love a good disaster movie as much as the next person. I’ve rewatched Twister more times than I’ll admit, and I went to Twisters with a bucket of popcorn and zero shame. But every time a CGI funnel cloud swallows a barn, a small voice in my head asks what it’s actually like out…
Let me get this out of the way: I don’t trust hype. Festival buzz has burned me before, and a Palme d’Or doesn’t guarantee a good Friday night. But Fjord has me hooked, and I’m not going to pretend otherwise. Cristian Mungiu, the guy behind 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days, makes his first…
Cannes handed Cristian Mungiu his second Palme d’Or this past May, and I’ve been refreshing release calendars ever since. The movie is Fjord, with Sebastian Stan and Renate Reinsve. It’s a family drama that turns into a courtroom nightmare, and the question I keep seeing in every film group chat is the same: where do…
I’ll say it up front: “Hollywood Ending” is the best hour this show has delivered, and it’s also the one that made me the angriest. Both reactions come from the same place. The finale gave me exactly what I’d been begging for since Season 1, then used the narrator to tell me I’d have to…
Okay, I need to talk about this, because Tuesday night is going to be a lot. NCIS: Origins Season 3 premieres Tuesday, October 6, 2026, at 10:00 PM ET/PT on CBS. It closes out the network’s NCIS block, right after the flagship show kicks off its 24th season at 8:00 PM. Yes, twenty-four. Somewhere, Gibbs…
