The movie’s practical gore and fire-axe sequence are part of why Ryan says They Will Kill You works for him.

Slash Film Weekly opens with the latest film and TV news. Ben Pearson runs through casting chatter, including the report that Ryan Gosling is going to be teaming up with Daniels, and keeps the rundown moving before the show lingers too long on any one story. Jacob's Trailer Park gets a brief detour. The episode then turns to They Will Kill You, where the discussion centers on a sister rescue mission through a hotel-like high-rise occupied by a demonic force, Zazie Beetz as the standout presence, and the practical, gleeful gore that gives the movie much of its appeal. The movie gets a mixed response. One side of the conversation thinks the film is fun, weird, and better when it leans into its practical gore, while the other side is less convinced that the class commentary about rich people lands very well. That split keeps the segment lively. It never turns into a simple recommendation, and the hosts get to react to the same movie from different angles. The film's basic setup stays clear. A sister rescue mission pushes the story through the floors of a high-rise occupied by a demonic force, and the conversation keeps returning to how the movie works within that structure. From there, the show moves on. It shifts to Mike and Nick and Nick and Alice and includes an interview with writer-director Ben David Grabinski. The back half keeps the same brisk pace as the front half. It does not linger. Instead, it stacks news, reactions, and interviews in a way that feels more like a film-site newsroom than a formal critic roundtable. The appeal is the movement, the quick framing, and the sense that the show knows when to hand things off. Listeners get a compact pass through entertainment chatter. They also get enough opinion and context to know where the hosts stand without sitting through a long lecture.
