We have a big crowd for a busy month this time: to help unpack the sizable number of new releases coming in August, Tim is joined by three guests: Caleb, Cameron, and Zev. The four of them work their way through the late summer doldrums to find whatever promising new films are lying in amongst the usual horror cast-offs and hapless wannabe blockbusters. Before that, Caleb shares his thoughts on the 1989 version of Hard to Be a God, while Zev and Cameron discuss a pair of new releases from 2025, The Woman in the Yard and Heads of State. Tim wraps things up by catching up with the 2022 critical hit Return to Seoul, by request of Patreon supporter Max Jacobson
