How To Make A Killing, Psycho Killer, Crimes of Passion
This week on I Hate Critics, we’re breaking down the latest theatrical releases hitting screens the weekend of February 20th. It’s a lineup filled with crime, thrills, and plenty of dark twists. Here’s what we’re covering: How to Make a Killing A darkly comedic crime thriller that dives into the chaos that unfolds when ordinary people find themselves in extraordinary—and deadly—circumstances. Greed, bad decisions, and escalating consequences fuel this fast-paced story where one wrong move leads to another. Does it deliver sharp satire and suspense, or does it miss the mark? We weigh in. Psycho Killer This horror-thriller throws audiences into the mind of a relentless murderer, blending slasher elements with psychological tension. Stylized violence and cat-and-mouse suspense aim to keep viewers on edge—but is it a fresh take on the genre or a retread of familiar territory? We break down the scares, the storytelling, and the body count. Crimes of Passion A steamy neo-noir crime drama where desire and danger collide. When obsession takes hold, lines between love, betrayal, and criminality blur. With heightened drama and provocative themes, this one sparks plenty of conversation. Is it an engaging throwback to erotic thrillers of the past, or does it struggle to find its voice? As always, we share our honest reactions, sharp debates, and maybe even a few laughs along the way.

RIP Catherine O'Hara
This week on the I Hate Critics Movie Review Podcast, we break down the new movies hitting theaters the weekend of January 30th, sorting through what’s worth your time and what might be better left for streaming. New Releases Reviewed Send Help – A survival thriller that throws its characters into extreme circumstances and asks how far people will go to stay alive. The Secret Agent – Espionage, intrigue, and moral gray areas collide in this tense international thriller. Sentimental Value – A quieter, more emotional release that leans into relationships, memory, and what we choose to hold onto. We also look ahead to Best in Show, with plans to revisit (or experience again) Christopher Guest’s endlessly quotable mockumentary classic. Any excuse to talk about one of the greatest ensemble comedies ever made—and to celebrate the legendary Catherine O’Hara—is a good one. As always, expect honest takes, a little chaos, and absolutely no consensus. Follow Us: Website: Facebook: Twitter/X: Instagram: Patreon: Merch: YouTube: Check out Jeff’s Art at .
