Comedy’s back (for real), sci-fi’s getting roasted, and the sequel machine never sleeps. This week we break down a crowd-pleasing Naked Gun reboot, the wildly panned War of the Worlds on Prime, fresh casting/news for Star Wars: Starfighter, a disaster-movie follow-up with Greenland: Migration, and where things stand with Michael Mann’s long-gestating Heat 2. We wrap with Early Buzz and a quick Trailer Roundup.

What we cover

• Naked Gun Reboot — Box office win, rapid-fire gags, Liam Neeson’s deadpan lands, Pamela Anderson surprises. One set-piece had us crying—no spoilers, but… snowman.
• War of the Worlds (Prime Video) — A rare national pastime: everyone dunking in unison. We read a few choice review lines and ask how this even happened.
• Star Wars: Starfighter — Matt Smith boards as the villain opposite Ryan Gosling. Hype check on the title, the timeline (post-Ep IX), and Shawn Levy at the helm.
• Greenland: Migration — The Garritys leave the bunker for a shattered world. We revisit the first film’s chaotic morals and predict where the sequel could go.
• Heat 2 — Budget jitters, star-power math, and our fantasy casting for Hanna, McCauley, Chris, and Cherrito—plus whether Leo actually fits anywhere.

Early Buzz

• Weapons (Zach Cregger) — Strong early raves; tense, darkly funny, and meticulously crafted.
• Freakier Friday — Lohan & Curtis reunion delivers easy laughs and warm nostalgia (with some quibbles).
• Sketch — Family-friendly high-concept charmer with standout word-of-mouth.
• Stans — Eminem fandom doc exploring the artist vs. persona dynamic.
