August 28, 2025 with Dave and Darren — “Honey Don’t!,” “Eden,” “Relay,” and “It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley”

August 28, 2025

Dave Levora and Mike Schulz sit around wondering, “Where’s Darren?” (Chicago, concert) and “Does Jaws still hold up?” (seeing how it’s been re-released on its fiftieth anniversary, it’s still an aesthetic judgment, but c’mon):

Under review:

  • Honey, Don’t! (dir Ethan Coen, starr Margaret Qualley, Aubrey Plaza, Chris Evans, Charlie Day, Kristen Connolly, Gabby Beans, and Talia Ryder).
  • Eden (dir Ron Howard, starr Jude Law, Ana de Armas, Vanessa Kirby, Sydney Sweeney, Daniel Brühl, Felix Kammerer, Toby Wallace, and Richard Roxburgh).
  • Relay (dir David Mackenzie, starr Riz Ahmed, Lily James, and Sam Worthington).
  • The documentary It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley (dir Amy Berg).

Forthcoming:

  • Caught Stealing (dir Darren Aronofsky, starr Austin Butler, Regina King, Zoë Kravitz, Matt Smith, Liev Schreiber, Vincent D’Onofrio, Bad Bunny, Griffin Dunne, and Carol Kane).
  • The Roses (dir Jay Roach, starr Benedict Cumberbatch, Olivia Colman, Andy Samberg, and Kate McKinnon).
  • The 2023 remake of 1984’s The Toxic Avenger (dir Peter Dinklage, Jacob Tremblay, Taylour Paige, Julia Davis, Jonny Coyne, Elijah Wood, and Kevin Bacon).
