You Had Me At Skip It

You Had Me At Flesh and Feelings

Mike dives headfirst into Together, the 2025 supernatural body horror debut from Michael Shanks, to see whether its ambition sticks the landing or collapses under its own weight. Meanwhile, Taylor checks out Song Sung Blue, Craig Brewer’s biographical musical drama, to judge if it hits the right emotional notes or plays it too safe. Two very different films, one shared question: did they actually work?

You Had Me At Full Stop | Oscar Nominations

We interrupt this regularly scheduled episode for our Oscars Reactions! The nominations are out, and Taylor welcomes guest host Nicole in to discuss the films up for various awards and what they have seen or are looking forward to seeing...

You Had Me At The Envelope, Please

Awards season chaos is here. Mike and Taylor break down the Golden Globe winners, who earned it, who didn’t, and which wins actually matter going forward. Then it’s a full mailbag episode, tackling listener questions, hot takes, and the topics you’ve been itching for us to dig into. Loose structure, sharp opinions, and zero filler.

You Had Me At Snakes and Knives

This week, Mike revisits the jungle with the Anaconda (2025) remake to see if nostalgia or modern excess wins out, while Taylor digs into Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery to judge whether Benoit Blanc still has gas in the tank. Two movies, two very different outcomes, and honest takes on what’s worth your time.

You Had Me At the End of the Upside Down

Taylor and Mike break the spoiler seal and go all in on Stranger Things Season 5. They unpack how the final season sticks (or stumbles), what actually lands emotionally, and whether the series earns its ending after nearly a decade of hype, monsters, and synths. Full spoilers, zero mercy.

You Had Me at Year-End Regrets and Triumphs

Mike and Taylor tackle their 2025 movie scorecard, sorting every title into their sacred categories: See It, Stream It, Airplane It, or Skip It. It’s a rapid-fire rundown of the best, the worst, and the films they forgot they even watched. Expect chaos, closure, and at least one existential crisis about how many hours of cinema they sacrificed this year.

You Had Me at the Christmas Ghost Tradition

Mike and Taylor trade blockbusters for bleak British dread with special guest Father Quirk. They dig into A Warning to the Curious (1972), a seaside tale that proves loneliness is the scariest thing of all; The Signalman (1976), where bureaucracy, inevitability, and Victorian trauma collide; and Herbert Wise’s The Woman in Black (1989), still doing more with fog and silence than most modern horror does with jump scares. 

You Had Me at Cruise Control

Mike dives headfirst into Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, questioning how many times one man can sprint before physically evaporating. Taylor unpacks K-Pop Demon Hunters on Netflix, a movie that somehow juggles choreography, friendship, and exorcism with unhinged confidence. Together, they tear through this year’s Golden Globe nominations, calling out the shocks, the snubs, and the “why is this even here?” picks.

You Had Me at this Movie is Stupid...But

Mike wades into the emotional baggage of Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale. Taylor takes on Playdate, a film that turns a casual hangout into a full-blown nightmare.

You Had Me at Leaving After Act 1

This week Mike reviews Wicked: For Good and rants for a while about movies, musicals, movie musicals, stage musicals and the mess that was Wicked: For Good. Taylor reviews Frankenstein, the latest film from Guillermo del Toro, and she compares it to other Frankenstein films.
