Mike Schulz, Dave Levora, and Darren Pitra spend an inordinate amount of time discussing the films of 2024, as if 2025 never happened. There are a couple forthcoming films — “previews,” if you will — upon which Schulz offers thoughts:

• 
  
• Den of Thieves: Pantera (dir Christian Gudegast, starr Gerard Butler, O’Shea Jackson Jr, and Meadow Williams).
  
• Better Man (dir Michael Gracey, starr Robbie Williams, Jonno Davies, Steve Pemberton, Kate Mulvany, Alison Steadman, and Damon Herriman).
  
• The Last Showgirl (dir Gia Coppola, starr Pamela Anderson, Jamie Lee Curtis, Dave Bautista, Brenda Song, Kiernan Shipka, Billie Lourd, and Jason Schwartzman).
