The "OVERSTUFFED" series continues as The Filmlosophers dish out another review they couldn't miss! Hosts Eddie and Spencer, and Intern Manager/Managing Intern Amy take on the latest Stephen King adaptation for 2025: the surprisingly faithful and brilliant rendition of The Running Man.

The crew was completely blown away by this film, noting how Director Edgar Wright managed to balance King's dark, prescient satire with his own signature, subtle jabs and kinetic energy. They celebrate the powerful performances that came from both likely and highly unlikely places. Specifically, they delve into the somber and beautifully executed monologue about a hot dog cart delivered by Michael Cera—a moment that redefined the emotional core of the film.

Join The Filmlosophers for a celebration of a truly successful King adaptation that delivered thrilling action, poignant commentary, and unexpected cinematic brilliance!

Happy Thanksgiving! The Filmlosophers are serving up a generous helping of cinema with their special holiday series, "OVERSTUFFED!" Hosts Eddie and Spencer, and Intern Manager/Managing Intern Amy are tackling films they've seen this holiday season, but couldn't squeeze into the regular schedule.

First on the table is the mystifying (but maybe not that mystifying) trilogy entry: Now You See Me: Now You Don't. The crew feels that the latest installment fell short of its magical origins. They dive into why the film seems to have misplaced its focus, operating less as a magic movie that utilizes heisting, and more as a straight-up heist film that occasionally incorporates some magic tricks.

They'll dissect the plot's complexity, the reliance on spectacle over genuine illusion, and debate whether the cinematic rabbit is truly out of the hat for this franchise.

Join The Filmlosophers for a packed and honest review where the only mystery is why the magic disappeared!

The long-awaited conclusion is here! Hosts Eddie and Spencer, and Intern Manager/Managing Intern Amy dive into their full, unreserved thoughts on the sequel to last year's musical smash hit, Wicked: For Good.

The crew applauds the dynamic duo of Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, recognizing that their strongest performances yet—both vocally and emotionally—power this finale, echoing their explosive chemistry both on and off-screen.

However, despite the powerhouse performances, the team grapples with why this highly anticipated entry into the pink and green franchise ultimately falls short. They dissect the film's crucial failings: a noticeable lack of fluidity in the storytelling, the frustrating inability to present updated arrangements of the iconic songs, and a minimalist treatment of side plots that are essential to the main characters but seemingly ignored by the filmmakers.

Resident Wicked expert Amy—a lifelong fan—gives her heartfelt arguments for the film's creative decisions, but ultimately, the crew agrees that Wicked: For Good tragically misses the chance to be the powerhouse closing chapter this story deserved.

Join us for a passionate, nuanced, and perhaps slightly heartbroken review of a film that was nearly Popular, but fell just shy of Unlimited.

The Filmlosophers are ready to dissect a cinematic creation of exquisite beauty and tragedy! Hosts Eddie and Spencer, and Intern Manager/Managing Intern Amy dive deep into the beautiful and amazing macabre world of Director Guillermo del Toro in his Netflix original film, Frankenstein.

Is this the definitive adaptation of the Creature's tragic story?

And speaking of Netflix, Intern Manager Amy kicks off her latest segment within her "Jane Unseen" series: "Streaming is For Lovers!" Amy will present two wildly different elevator pitches for obscure Netflix original romantic comedies to the table.
