Stay Through the Credits

Dan & Julia

We’re Dan and Julia, and we cannot watch a movie without arguing about it.

Stay Through the Credits is what happens when two people with very different taste share one couch (or one mic). One of us cries at everything. One of us says “it’s fine, it’s just a movie” and then thinks about it for three days. Guess which is which.

Every week we talk about the films and shows we can’t stop thinking about: the masterpieces, the guilty pleasures, the endings that ruined our night, and the hidden gems we’ll bully you into watching.

No film-school gatekeeping. No pretending we liked the boring one.

Klara and the Sun: Taika Waititi’s Flat Future
Taika Waititi tackles Kazuo Ishiguro’s AI novel with Jenna Ortega as a robot companion praying to the sun to be chosen, and it should have been a perfect match. It wasn’t. We talk the candy colored Friend Store, Natasha Lyonne’s den mother energy, the “Jojo Rabbit” comparison, and why a film about mortality and obsolescence ends up so obvious and tonally confused.

X: What If a Slasher, But With Porn?
Ti West’s A24 horror comedy drops a crew of scrappy adult filmmakers onto a Texas farm owned by a very unhappy elderly couple, and it’s as wicked as it sounds. We talk Mia Goth in two roles, the 1970s grindhouse spirit, the slow burn tension that West does better than almost anyone, and what the film has to say about youth, sex and getting old.

The Ghost in the Machine
Paul Bettany returns as Vision in Marvel’s “VisionQuest,” a “WandaVision” follow-up about an android trying to understand his own feelings. We talk about why a Victorian mansion full of AI assistants, including a scruffy James Spader as Ultron, is the show’s best idea, and why the convoluted lore leaves viewers as emotionally disconnected as its hero.

The Next Big Things
From Venice to Telluride to TIFF and NYFF, this fall’s festivals introduced a fresh wave of performers poised for stardom. We meet seven standouts, including Mathilde Arcel’s shape-shifting Volpi Cup win, Eldar Isgandarov stealing scenes in two of the year’s best films, and Caleb Hearon’s move from internet comedy to leading man.

Wildwood: Laika Goes Full Epic
Laika’s sixth feature is its biggest swing yet, a 130 minute stop motion fairytale about a Portland girl chasing a murder of crows into a forbidden wilderness to save her baby brother. We get into the handmade textures, Carey Mulligan’s villain, the surprisingly intense PG-13 opening, and why a story built from borrowed fantasy parts still feels like a new standard.

Ray Gunn: Brad Bird's Love Letter to Noir and Sci-Fi
Brad Bird's Netflix animated mashup premiered at the London Film Festival, and it throws Bogart noir, "Blade Runner," "Roger Rabbit" and the Star Wars cantina into one blender. Sam Rockwell is an analog private eye in a digital future, Scarlett Johansson is a pop star in deep trouble, and Tom Waits is the cyclops partner we didn't know we needed. We talk Metropia, the Bogie and Bacall energy, and why this might be Netflix's ticket to an Oscar nomination.

Software, Not Satan: Cupertino and the Soul of AI
Robert and Michelle King trade Chicago for Silicon Valley in CBS's new legal drama Cupertino. We dig into how Mike Colter and Rachel Keller's scrappy law firm takes on AI giants, and why a show about algorithms keeps asking questions that sound a lot like theology.

The Social Reckoning: Sorkin Logs Back In
Sorkin returns to Facebook sixteen years after The Social Network, this time with the whistleblowers. We dig into whether the sequel earns its place, what Fincher's absence costs it, and why a story that felt urgent once now feels like a history lesson.

Artificial: Andrew Garfield's Terrifying Sam Altman
Luca Guadagnino's OpenAI origin story premiered at NYFF after Amazon reportedly got cold feet about releasing it, and once you watch it, you understand why. Andrew Garfield plays Sam Altman as a man who shapeshifts depending on who's in the room, Yura Borisov plays Ilya Sutskever as the true believer watching his dream curdle into something uncontrollable, and the whole thing plays less like a tech biopic and more like a modern Frankenstein story that might already be coming true.

A Statement: What We Already Knew in 1980
Tom McCarthy recreates an actual 1980 congressional climate conference, pulling dialogue straight from real transcripts, and the result is quieter and stranger than you'd expect. We get into the committee room politics, the forgotten nuclear energy argument nobody wanted to touch, and why a movie built entirely out of talk ends up feeling like a warning we still haven't learned from.

Behemoth!: Pedro Pascal Learned the Cello For This
Tony Gilroy's first film since "The Bourne Legacy" follows a session cellist drifting through affairs, movie score gigs, and a mystery involving a teenage avant pop star. Pedro Pascal actually learned to play cello for the role, nine film composers contributed to the score, and somehow it's still not quite "Tár." We get into the meta score gimmick, Olivia Wilde's stalker energy, and why this one's more scherzo than symphony.

Cameron Winter at Carnegie Hall: One Voice, One Piano, 75 Minutes
Paul Thomas Anderson points a camera at Cameron Winter alone at a Steinway for 75 minutes, and somehow it's one of the most hypnotic concert films in years. We talk Dylan comparisons, that candlelit 35mm glow, and why a guy from Geese turned out to have this voice hiding inside him the whole time.

A Plea Instead of a Roar
Mike Flanagan reimagines Stephen King's "Carrie" as a teen drama about modern high school, and in the process loses most of the horror. We talk about why this telekinetic classic gets so gentle with its villains, the uneven writing that shortchanges Chris Hargensen, and whether sympathy for everyone is the wrong instinct for a story built on rage.

Genre Games for Globes Gold
Studios are deciding whether to campaign films like "Michael," "Obsession," and "Wildwood" as dramas or comedies, and the strategy could reshape the whole race. We dig into Sandra Hüller's double German film play for drama actress, Laika's unusual push for "Wildwood" to compete outside animation, and why Robert Pattinson might rack up noms across four different movies.

Breaking Up Is Fun to Do
Sienna Miller and Dominic West play a billionaire couple locked in a scorched-earth divorce in HBO's new legal drama "War." We dig into why creator George Kay makes watching a marriage implode so entertaining, the scene-stealing lawyers who outshine the leads, and the one moment where the show nearly loses its nerve.

Monsters Born, Monsters Made
Florence Pugh and Hoon Lee anchor Zoe Kazan's ambitious Netflix adaptation of Steinbeck's "East of Eden." We talk about Pugh's chilling turn as the manipulative Cathy Ames, why giving Lee a fuller arc pays off where softening Cathy's menace doesn't, and whether this sprawling generational saga really needed all seven hours to land.

You Can See Everything: Inside Elizabeth Holmes' Head
Nathan Fielder spends 174 minutes trying to figure out what actually makes Elizabeth Holmes tick, and then the documentary pulls a move nobody saw coming: it brings in Amanda Seyfried to sit and watch herself play Holmes on screen. We get into the pinprick fantasy, the Abbott and Costello test, and why this might be the strangest, most fascinating true crime documentary of the year.

Verity: The Colleen Hoover Curse Continues
Dakota Johnson and Anne Hathaway star in the fourth Colleen Hoover adaptation, and Hollywood still hasn't cracked the code. We talk about the bloodiest meet cute of the year, a masturbation scene in a rock carved bathtub, and why a movie built for scandal ends up with zero pulse.

A Mother's Lens: Inside Making Marie Antoinette
Twenty years after Sofia Coppola's "Marie Antoinette" hit theaters, we're talking about the documentary her late mother Eleanor quietly built from 80 hours of behind the scenes footage. It's a film about Versailles gowns and edible gelatin feasts on the surface, but underneath it's a mother watching her daughter become an artist, and wondering out loud what she gave up to get there.

Drill, Baby, Drill: Inside Digger's Disaster
Tom Cruise plays a fossil fuel titan under mountains of jowly makeup, Alejandro G. Iñárritu wants to make his generation's "Dr. Strangelove," and somewhere in between the two, "Digger" forgets to be funny. We break down why a $125 million climate satire built for maximum importance ends up feeling like a lecture instead of a warning.
