Some of the big fall festival premieres look to dazzle audiences as they hit a wide release this month. Reactions on the first movie that Nick and Sophia discuss, ‘The Woman King,’ are overwhelmingly positive and consistent with its A+ CinemaScore. Gina Prince-Bythewood delivers an epic warrior drama with Viola Davis at the helm and one that has already garnered great awards potential (3:37).

Next is a movie that, due to a magnetic press release, needs no introduction: ‘Don’t Worry Darling.’ After sharing their general reactions to the film (24:34), they dive into spoilers and try to make sense of that third act surprise (29:42).

Stay tuned for reactions to other fun releases, from Netflix’s 80’s high school dramedy with a Gen Z twist, ‘Do Revenge,’ to others that are gearing up for quite a spooky October: ‘Barbarian,’ ‘Pearl,’ ‘Resurrection,’ and ‘Speak No Evil’ (52:26).
