Fantastic 4, Naked Gun, Together
I Hate Critics Movie Review Podcast
This week on the I Hate Critics Movie Review Podcast, we take a look at the weekend box office releases for August 1st—including a reboot, a remake, and an emotional indie drama.

info_outlineThis week on the I Hate Critics Movie Review Podcast, we dive into a wide range of cinematic experiences—from post-apocalyptic horror to action-comedy chaos to heartfelt animated sci-fi. Whether you’re here for the zombies, the laughs, or the feels, we’ve got something for everyone.
🎬 28 Years Later
The long-awaited sequel to Danny Boyle’s iconic zombie saga is finally here. Picking up nearly three decades after the outbreak began, 28 Years Later explores a decimated world where survival is no longer just about staying alive—it's about finding meaning in the ruins. Can the franchise recapture the bleak brilliance of the original? We discuss.

🚀 Elio
Pixar returns with Elio, a coming-of-age sci-fi story about a boy mistakenly abducted by aliens and declared the ambassador of Earth. It’s heartwarming, imaginative, and packed with that Pixar charm—but does it stand with the studio’s best? Tune in to hear our thoughts.
