·1 hr 23 min·5 clips

Brandon Cronenberg’s Infinity Pool sends a rich couple to an all-inclusive island resort where danger waits outside the gates.

1. Cinema Scumbags Movie Podcast #176 focuses on movies coming out in 2023 after a New Year's Eve recording. 2. Nick and his co-host lead the episode, and their back-and-forth matters because they steer the release-by-release movie preview. 3. The episode asks what the first big 2023 titles are and which ones actually look worth watching. 4. The hosts begin with 2022 catch-up titles, including The Whale, TÁR, Glass Onion, Aftersun, Bones and All, and The Fabelmans. 5. They talk about Spielberg's The Fabelmans, mentioning Paul Dano, Michelle Williams, Seth Rogen, and the question of how personal the film feels. 6. They compare The Fabelmans to Spielberg's other work and say they would rewatch it before some other titles. 7. They move to Avatar: The Way of Water, joke about Edie Falco filming years earlier, and say James Cameron's sequel looks like a technical showcase. 8. They note that Avatar has already passed the billion-dollar mark and discuss the possibility of a Titanic 4K release. 9. January titles include Megan, which they think will do well because of word of mouth and horror audiences. 10. They also discuss The Son, calling it a follow-up to The Father and noting Hugh Jackman, Laura Dern, and Anthony Hopkins. 11. Jesse Eisenberg's When You Finish Saving the World gets a mention because it stars Julianne Moore, Jessie Buckley, and, as they note, J.O. Sanders and Lizzy Caplan. 12. You People gets attention because Jonah Hill wrote and stars in it with Eddie Murphy for Netflix. 13. Infinity Pool comes up as a Brandon Cronenberg project with Alexander Skarsgård and Mia Goth in an island resort story. 14. They talk about Knock at the Cabin and mention having already seen it under embargo while joking about an NDA. 15. February includes 80 for Brady, which they describe as four older friends going to Houston to see Tom Brady in Super Bowl 51. 16. They also mention Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Cocaine Bear, and Creed III as the calendar keeps filling up. 17. The tone stays loose and joking, with sports talk, winter weather complaints, and constant side comments between the film names. 18. The format is a conversational list episode, with each title getting a quick opinion rather than a long formal review. 19. Best for listeners who follow movie release calendars and studio slates. 20. Skip it if you want deep analysis of one film only.
