The one where we review Trap House and The Great Flood
Episode 35
Monday, 12 January, 2026
We’ve got a massive episode for you this week! From high-stakes heists to high-tide sci-fi, we’re covering the big hits hitting your living rooms right now.First up, we’re locking in with Dave Bautista in the gritty action-thriller Trap House. This isn't your average "tough guy" flick—Bautista plays a DEA agent caught in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse where one of the thieves is actually... his own rebellious teenager?! We discuss if this "Sicario meets The Breakfast Club" vibe actually works.Fun Flix Fact: This film reunites Dave Bautista with director Michael Dowse. The duo previously worked together on the 2019 buddy-comedy Stuber! It’s safe to say they’ve traded the Uber for some much heavier artillery this time around.Then, we’re heading over to Netflix for the mind-bending Korean sci-fi disaster film, The Great Flood. Starring Kim Da-mi (Itaewon Class) and Park Hae-soo (Squid Game), it starts as a survival story in a sinking apartment building but quickly morphs into a complex sci-fi mystery involving AI and time loops. Did it leave us drowning in confusion or riding the wave?Fun Flix Fact: To prepare for the intense submerged sequences, the cast spent months undergoing professional scuba diving and underwater breath-control training. Most of those "water-log" scenes are the real deal!For this week's Anniversary Corner, we’re looking back 25 years (yep, feel old yet?) at the cult classic drug-trafficking biopic Blow, starring Johnny Depp. Since Trap House deals with the fallout of the cartel world, it’s the perfect time to revisit the rise and fall of George Jung.Fun Flix Fact: Rachel Griffiths, who plays Johnny Depp's mother in the film, is actually five years younger than he is in real life! Talk about some incredible work from the hair and makeup department.And if that’s not enough entertainment for you, we’ve even thrown in new trailers to watch and what you can catch on streaming. Press play for the friendliest film discussions this side of Hollywood! It's all the movies you love, the facts you need, and the banter you crave.Don't miss a single review!
