Special guest Michael Guarnieri joins Cinemaholics to (in Will’s words) “replace Jon Negroni while he’s still on his honeymoon for some reason, what a clown” (again, Will’s words). First up, Idris Elba! He’s in a new thriller called Beast from Universal and director Baltasar Kormákur, and it’s been getting surprisingly solid reviews considering its release schedule, but are the Cinemaholics going wild about it? Next up is Bodies Bodies Bodies from A24, the much-talked-about dark horror comedy from director Halina Reijn starring Amandla Stenberg, Maria Bakalova, Rachel Sennott, Lee Pace, and yes, amazingly, Pete Davidson. And last, you didn’t think we’d miss a chance to talk about the last few episodes of The Rehearsal, did you? You did? OK, sorry, didn’t prepare ourselves for that answer. Regardless, we talk about the last few episodes of Nathan Fielder’s mind-breaking “who needs a fourth wall?” HBO series, The Rehearsal.

Intro Music: “Birds of Rocky Point (feat. Slug” by Glimlip, Søren Søstrom & Soul Food Horns
