This week on the I Hate Critics Movie Review Podcast, we break down the new movies hitting theaters the weekend of January 30th, sorting through what’s worth your time and what might be better left for streaming.

New Releases Reviewed

  • Send Help – A survival thriller that throws its characters into extreme circumstances and asks how far people will go to stay alive.

  • The Secret Agent – Espionage, intrigue, and moral gray areas collide in this tense international thriller.

  • Sentimental Value – A quieter, more emotional release that leans into relationships, memory, and what we choose to hold onto.

We also look ahead to Best in Show, with plans to revisit (or experience again) Christopher Guest’s endlessly quotable mockumentary classic. Any excuse to talk about one of the greatest ensemble comedies ever made—and to celebrate the legendary Catherine O’Hara—is a good one.

As always, expect honest takes, a little chaos, and absolutely no consensus.
