    Dec 20 2025

    Grab your detective notebooks and settle in — this week’s episode is all about mysteries, moods, and what we can’t stop watching. From a chilling new trailer from Steven Spielberg in Disclosure Day,to a full-on deep dive into Benoit Blanc’s latest case, we’re having a blast breaking it all down together.



    We kick things off by reacting to the trailer for Disclosure Day, unpacking the premise, tone, and early clues about what kind of story it’s setting up.



    We share our spoiler-light reactions after watching Wake Up Dead Man, discussing how it stacks up against Knives Out and Glass Onion. From the mystery mechanics and performances to the atmosphere and twists, we break down what worked, what surprised us, and how Benoit Blanc continues to evolve.

    Plus: we have some fun fancasting the next Knives Out story, throwing out dream picks for future suspects, detectives, and scene-stealers we’d love to see in the franchise.



    • Christmas movies — fully leaning into the holiday spirit with seasonal favorites.

    • Hamnet — the new film adaptation of Maggie O’Farrell’s novel, a quiet, emotional historical drama that really stuck with him.

    • Welcome to Derry (HBO) — the eerie IT prequel series setting a chilling tone.

    A cozy, clue-filled episode packed with reactions, recommendations, and plenty of laughs — perfect for mystery fans and movie lovers alike.
