We apologize in advance: We had a very long show! But we had a lot to dig into. We start with Tom Cruise's "Digger," which, whatever you think about it, certainly provides plenty to chew on. Then it's Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson in "Verity." And we close with Cristian Mungiu's "Fjord," with Sebastian Stan and Renate Reinsve. Those are some big movies that gave us bunches to talk about. Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy. Let

There's a new DC movie out, from the James Gunn stable, it's "Supergirl." Also, there's a very very very different movie out, the final (probably) Jackass movie, "Jackass: Best and Last." But the real discussion is a long overdue one: We dig into, deeply, the success of "Obsession" and "Backrooms," which is about age and moviegoing changes and what makes people fall in love with the movies in the first place. This was a very, very fun talk. We hope you enjoy it. Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend

"Is God Is," "Obsession," Grierson Reports From Cannes

Grierson & Leitch ·

2026/05/17

Grierson is still in Cannes, and he briefly joins us for a report, but there were two sort of high-profile movies that Leitch wanted to weigh in on, so here we are. Leitch solos on the adaptation of "Is God Is," as well as the horror hit "Obsession." It's never quite the same when it's just one of us, but at least the show is shorter!
