On this week’s episode, Sonny Bunch (The Bulwark), Alyssa Rosenberg (The Washington Post), and Peter Suderman (Reason) discuss the $2.2 billion in improvements to movie theaters, which are looking to add more premium screens and more … ziplines and pickleball courts? What could go wrong! Then they review Wolfs, which hits AppleTV+ on Friday and had a limited run in theaters last weekend. We mostly avoided spoiler talk in this episode since the movie isn’t widely accessible yet, and Sonny ranted for a bit about why it’s not widely accessible yet. Make sure to swing by Friday for our bonus episode on Brad Pitt and George Clooney, the stars of Wolfs. And if you enjoyed this episode, make sure to share it with a friend!

There’s a familiar rhythm to most movie talk: either a deep dive into technical craft or a quick thumbs-up, thumbs-down reaction. Across the Movie Aisle proposes a different kind of conversation. Each week, the discussion moves past simple recommendations and into the richer territory where personal taste, cultural context, and cinematic history collide. You’ll hear thoughtful reviews of new releases and enduring classics, but the real focus is on the dialogue itself-the disagreements, the discoveries, and the shared enthusiasm that happens when perspectives meet. This isn’t about delivering a unanimous verdict; it’s about exploring why a film works for some and falls flat for others, what a director’s choices reveal, and how the landscape of television and film continues to shift. The tone is more like a spirited, informed chat among friends than a formal lecture, making even the most nuanced analysis feel accessible. Whether it’s breaking down the latest headline-grabbing series or revisiting an overlooked gem, the podcast thrives on that genuine exchange of ideas. It’s for anyone who finds that the most interesting part of watching something is the conversation that follows, where the space between different viewpoints is exactly where the understanding grows. Tune in for a weekly dose of that specific, engaging, and wonderfully contentious dialogue that only movies and TV can inspire.
