If you caught The Odyssey in theaters this year, there's a good chance you saw a certain trailer featuring a demonic Jessica Chastain traumatizing her husband and child. For the three times I saw Nolan’s epic on the big screen, each time the mingling audience would slow their conversation and react in terror to this short clip of Chastain clinging like a spider under her kitchen island.

The Weekend Fallout is an unsafe place to discuss most things in the reel and real world. Let us know what you have been watching recently on the big and small screen.

Despite their importance to the genre, there are numerous female characters within horror that have fallen between the cracks of the canon. Ones who aren’t enshrined on merch or shouted out in every countdown, but whose performances linger long after the credits roll. They might come from forgotten exploitation flicks, international nightmares, direct-to-video oddities, or cult classics that never quite crossed into the mainstream—but they matter.

As the resident Tom Cruise stan at ScreenAge Wasteland, I was destined to be tapped for Digger review duties. I take my role seriously, so I gladly sit here before you in an attempt to make sense of the latest outing from the prince of movies. I’ve been waiting for this movie for years. Not Digger specifically, but for this moment in Cruise’s career.

“When Man entered the atomic age, he opened a door into a new world. What we'll eventually find in that new world, nobody can predict.” I have a friend who is absolutely terrified of ants. Just freaks out if any get on his skin. I remember him telling me a story about working on a job site and suddenly realizing he was laying on an ant nest.

Inspired by the popular online game that asks people to choose one movie from a group of four, One Choice... is pretty much the same game. Readers will be given four similar movies and asked to choose one. Now here's the catch, the other three movies will be gone forever, wiped from your brain as if they never existed. Are you ready to theoretically live in a world where you have The Empire Strikes Back but not Star Wars or Return of the Jedi?

“He killed twelve people, wounded twenty three more, stole six cars, most of them Ferraris. Robbed eight banks, six supermarkets, four jewelry stores and a candy shop. Six of the ones he killed he carved up with a butcher knife. Two of them were kids. He did all that in two weeks. If anyone deserves to go that way, it sure in the hell was him.”

Happy Spook-tober Screenagers! I write to you from the past, as I queued this post up before a long-overdue vacation. Not to fear, though; I still included lots of fun horror classics and some new stuff on this list. These are some of the picks at the top of my October rewatch list this year.  Peacock: Obsession (2026) This one came out of nowhere and took the world by storm (and for good reason!).

Over on Kung Pew Video, I’ve been revisiting the direct-to-video relics that raised us. This week: Movies in the 1980s seemed to imagine two totally different versions of America.  On one hand, you had the bucolic version of life in the 80s. We’re talking kids on Mongoose bikes roaming the streets and wooded areas of suburban America and getting up to hijinks.

Halloween is one of the few acceptable times a year when people will not judge you for dressing up as your favorite movie character. 2026 has already given us so many iconic new characters, as well as reaffirmed some older fan favorites, that there's no shortage of costumes to choose from this year. However, sometimes, the best costume is one that comes with a partner.

Don't you hate spoilers? Possibly the only thing worse than spoilers is not being able to freely talk about a film you just saw. Well, fear not. Here at ScreenAge Wasteland, you can Spoil Away! with Digger. It's finally here: Tom Cruise's first non-action movie in what feels like forever. Did Alejandro González Iñárritu get an Oscar-winning performance out of Cruise?

Talk about an upgrade. Paramount's upcoming G.I. Joe reboot has just cast its new Duke.
