Welcome back to Cult Pop Live, broadcasting live from Yunkjunk HQ for Episode 189! This week, Noel, Alice, JD, and Producer Noah dive into controversial movie mailbags, fantasy literature, streaming gems, and a spoiler-filled review of Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett's gritty desert super-soldier action thriller: Onslaught (2026)! In this episode, the gang breaks down:The Fast & Furious Mailbag & Missed Theatrical Regrets: Decoding an unhinged listener ranking of all 11 Fast & Furious installments. Plus, reflecting on films we missed in cinemas—from Christopher Sink's love for Hard Candy to Alice's heartbreak over skipping Sinners and Noel's quest for Speed Racer in IMAX. DC’s Lanterns Mid-Season Check-In: Debating whether HBO's Lanterns feels like a proper cosmic DC story or a prestige HBO detective procedural, Kyle Chandler’s portrayal of Hal Jordan’s pointed microaggressions, and how the multi-timeline noir mystery is unfolding. What’s Poppin’ — Pop Culture Catch-Up:Alice Discovers Brandon Sanderson: Falling headfirst into the allomantic world of Scadrial with Mistborn: The Final Empire, breaking down the magic system of metals, and looking ahead to the upcoming Mistborn releases. JD’s Audiobook Drama: Cruising through the Dungeon Crawler Carl series until a jarring cameo by YouTuber Critical Drinker completely derails the experience. Noel on Mayday (Apple TV+): Reviewing Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley's Cold War action-comedy starring Ryan Reynolds alongside an electric, 80s-obsessed Kenneth Branagh, with plenty of praise for Game Night and Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. JD on Penny Lane is Dead: Discovering a solid, "perfectly cromulent" Australian beach-house home invasion horror flick on Shudder. Feature Review & Spoilers — Onslaught (2026):Does Adam Wingard's return to indie genre roots measure up to The Guest and You're Next, or does it sit closer to Death Note? Dan Stevens sporting a bizarre balding Gallagher haircut with an eyepatch as a BDSM Nazi villain, Adria Arjona unleashing hell in the desert, and the pulse-pounding synth score. Why the sudden, anticlimactic conclusion felt like the middle chapter of a trilogy that forgot to deliver its grand finale. Dissecting the end credits' missing posters, teased relocations to Alaska, and a detour into the terrifying "Poohverse" (Pinocchio: Unstrung, Bambi: The Reckoning)! Did Onslaught satisfy your grindhouse cravings or leave you wanting more, and which Green Lantern ring are you wearing? Let us know in the comments below!
