  • The Continental: From the World of John Wick
    May 14 2025

    Limp Wick

    John Wick may be dead…but the franchise is very much alive. With spin-off films like Ballerina, Caine, and an anime Wick prequel on the way and John Wick 5 already in the works, the high-octane universe of assassins, coins, and Continental rules isn't slowing down anytime soon. But before we return to the big screen, we’re flashing back to the 1970s for the Peacock mini-series The Continental: From the World of John Wick. Can a TV budget capture the brutal elegance and balletic gun-fu that made the films iconic? And do fans really want the origin story of Winston Scott — played here by Colin Woodell, stepping into Ian McShane’s stylish shoes? Justin, Jason, and Arnie check in for a full review, exploring every bullet, betrayal, and bourbon-soaked twist. Grab your gold coins and hit play — this is one check-in you don’t want to miss!

  • Sinners
    Apr 30 2025

    From cotton fields to coffin lids

    Sinners isn’t just a vampire movie—it’s a Southern Gothic opera about bloodlines, betrayal, and the price of your soul. On this episode, Justin, Marjorie, and Arnie dive into Ryan Coogler’s (Black Panther) first original feature, where Michael B. Jordan (Creed) plays war-torn twins battling both the past and the undead in 1930s Mississippi. Hailee Steinfeld (Hawkeye) plays Mary, Stack’s former flame-turned-vampire femme fatale, while Jayme Lawson's (The Batman) haunting voice lingers long after the music fades. From historical horror to emotional gut-punches, we explore whether Sinners earns its place among Coogler’s best—and whether immortality is a curse or a second chance.

I have listened to Now Playing Podcast for years. I love thier format of going through series of movies or going through movies with connections, for example going through all movies based on Marvel comic books or going through all movies based on Steven King books.

Each host brings something different to the table and tgey all have great but different views of the movies they watch.

I also love the longer format, too many other podcast stick to a set time length. Now Playing Podcast takes their time with each movie and are willing to give a bigger movie more time to discuss, rather than rushing through to make a hard cut off.

One if the best movie podcast!!

These guys have been in my ear since 2012 and I haven’t missed a week since. Their show exactly replicates how my friends and I talk about movies.

Best Movie Podcast Period

Now Playing Podcast is easily the best movie review podcast out there. Their in depth reviews of (mostly) movie series cover everything from Star Trek to Marvel, from Horror to complete works of directors like M. Night Shyamalan and Quentin Tarantino.
Each podcast has three reviewers, a newbie, a fan and someone that saw at least some of the movies in the series before.
I personally try to (re)watch every movie before I listen to the review, I find myself disagreeing and agreeing and even single sidedly joining the discussion (ok screaming at my phone).
If you listen to only one podcast in your life, listen to Now Playing Podcast.

if you like movies, you will love Now Playing!

I've been a fan of Now Playing since their review of Tron Legacy. Over the past decade they've gone from being a fun podcast to listen to, to being my go to podcast. They have a vast catalog of reviews from the newest blockbusters to classics to obscure horror movies and TV superhero movies.
