‘A House of Dynamite’ Is Ready to Explode

Sean and Amanda kick things off by celebrating Chainsaw Man’s box-office blast and Cinemark’s roll-out of 70 mm IMAX screens—very promising for the future of moviegoing. Then they dive into Kathryn Bigelow’s latest, A House of Dynamite, praising its titillating first act and Rebecca Ferguson’s performance but calling out a wildly uneven third act and an over-the-top turn from Idris Elba.

Later, critic Adam Nayman joins to unpack Kelly Reichardt’s The Mastermind, starring Josh O’Connor as a magnetic outcast loner. They applaud Reichardt’s gift for nuanced characters and O’Connor’s quietly powerful work, making it a must-see character study.
