  • KPop Demon Hunters: Slay or Nay?
    Sep 15 2025

    Send us a text

    This week, the Oh Brother podcast dives headfirst into KPop Demon Hunters, the movie that asks: what if your favorite girl group moonlighted as demon-slaying assassins with impeccable choreography? Dan was vibing with the glitter and gore; Mike was mentally filing a restraining order against the plot. Expect spicy sibling squabbles, confused metaphors, and at least one attempt to summon a demon using a lightstick. Is it a cult classic in the making or just a flashy misfire? Tune in for the glittery carnage and stay for the brotherly bickering.

    Spike Lee takes on Kurosawa’s High and Low with Highest 2 Lowest, and we’re here for the ride. In this episode, we break down how Lee reimagines the classic crime thriller through a modern lens—class, conscience, and a whole lot of Denzel. From Kurosawa’s cool precision to Lee’s bold Brooklyn energy, we explore what’s preserved, what’s flipped, and what hits different in 2025.

    It’s a cinematic remix across cultures and decades—no hot takes, just deep cuts.

  • The Hit: Terence Stamp’s Coolest Goodbye
    Sep 1 2025

    Send us a text

    In this episode, we revisit The Hit (1984), a meditative crime film that gave Terence Stamp one of his most hauntingly restrained performances. As news of Stamp’s passing at age 87 reverberates through the film world, we reflect on his legacy—from the rebellious charm of Billy Budd to the icy menace of General Zod, and the quiet dignity he brought to The Hit.

    We unpack the film’s existential undertones, Stephen Frears’ direction, and Stamp’s ability to command the screen with silence and soul. It’s part review, part tribute—an ode to an actor who never chased the spotlight, but always earned it.
