Lots of big-hitters this week: Hear our hot takes on Emily in Paris, The Umbrella Academy, and Blink Twice, with a quick nod to Alien: Romulus along the way.
Emily in Paris: C’est Dommage
Sherin and Alex love to hate-watch Emily in Paris and their side-eye is in full effect here. They dive into the first half of Season 4, talking about the story (or lack thereof), the bizarre character choices, and whether or not this season lived up to their (albeit, très très low) expectations. For more insight, read their written review and get ready to say, “mon dieu!” more than you thought possible.
The Umbrella Academy: Goodbye, Goodbye
It’s time to say goodbye to The Umbrella Academy and we’re still feeling a little blue about it. This show has brought a certain weird & wacky whimsy to our lives and we’re going to miss it terribly. Sherin tells Alex all about the final season, which is out now on Netflix. She discusses the impact the show has had, what the characters got up to, and whether or not the end was satisfying.

Alien: Romulus + Blink Twice
Julian jumps on with Sherin to give a quick shoutout to Alien: Romulus, saying, “It was a good big-budget horror movie that seems to be a perfect vehicle for the 4DX format.” Our Rioters have a lot more thoughts on the latest Alien installment—see Philip’s review and Drew’s op-ed.
To close the show, Sherin and Julian get into Blink Twice, written and directed by Zoë Kravitz and starring Channing Tatum. They chat about the metaphors and filmography, the cast and characters, and why this movie is a must-see. And you know Sherin wrote a review about it—check, check, check it out!
