With just ¼ of 2026 left, Neil, David, Jose and Luke take a look at the films still coming to cinemas for the rest of the year — the ones we're genuinely excited about, the ones we've somehow never heard of, and the ones we have absolutely NO interest in seeing and should be immediately fired into the sun.There's Brad Pitt and a dog, Andrew Garfield fighting peasants as Wat Tyler (although apparently someone briefly thought he was Robin Hood?), a man getting swallowed by an 80-foot sperm whale, stop-motion emotional devastation, KAIJUS, video game adaptations, horror, superheroes, anniversary screenings and a whole lot more.And we're not doing it alone! We've also taken your comments and messages into account, with our viewers and listeners telling us which films THEY are looking forward to seeing at the cinema before the end of 2026.Then, as if that wasn't enough, each of us picks our Top 3 films we're most excited to see before the end of the year — so which films made the cut?And then, on December 18th, two tiny little indie films nobody has heard of are coming out...Dune: Part Three and Avengers: Doomsday.It's going to be a busy few months at the cinema.Find out what we're watching in the latest episode of We Needed Roads!If you enjoy the episode, don't forget to LIKE, SUBSCRIBE and hit that notification bell!And let us know in the comments: what films are YOU most looking forward to seeing at the cinema for the rest of 2026? Did we miss anything? Are we completely wrong about any of our picks? And which films should be fired immediately into the sun?You can also find We Needed Roads wherever you get your podcasts, and follow us on social media for more film, TV and general nerdy nonsense.
After being forced to endure quizzes on subjects she had absolutely no interest in — Horror, Christmas and all manner of nonsense — it's finally Marie's turn in the big chair! This time, Neil, Luke, David & Jose are being put through the Queer Pop Culture Quiz, as Marie tests four straight guys on the ultimate question:Are they actually good allies… or are they about to embarrass themselves spectacularly? David is already worried he's going to get absolutely nothing right. Neil is quietly confident when it comes to the TV and film questions, but he's also keeping one eye on Jose, convinced that Jose is going to say something that gets the entire podcast cancelled. Jose, meanwhile, thinks Neil is the one most likely to put his foot in it. And Luke? Luke is just happy to be here. So after years of everyone else getting to test their knowledge on subjects that Marie couldn't care less about, the power is finally hers. But will Marie be a fair and just Quiz Master?Or will the power go straight to her head? There is as always in our quiz episodes copious amounts of swearing, blatant cheating and at least one person throwing their toys out of the pram in an almighty show of poor sportsmanship…I’ll let you guess who that is, and guess what you’ll learn something - we sure did! Play along at home and let us know how you scored in the comments!!!

Sometimes a film review goes exactly as planned.And sometimes… it becomes podcast folklore.Back in the early days of We Needed Roads, we let YOU decide what film we should review by voting on social media. Neil’s friend Jamie took this responsibility very, very seriously… voting a lot for one particular film until Tom Green’s gloriously unhinged comedy Freddy Got Fingered was chosen.Neil was already a fan.David, however, had never seen it.So David did what any loving fiancé would do… he sat down with his fiancée to watch Freddy Got Fingered.What happened next has gone down in We Needed Roads history as simply…THE INCIDENT. 💀Now, for the 200th episode, the full team reunites to revisit the story, relive the chaos and decide whether David was justified in his reaction or whether Neil was right all along.But the big question is…👀 Whose side will Ben take?🤔 Will Luke defend David?😂 Will Jose choose chaos?😐 And will Marie even care?One film. One questionable social media poll. One unforgettable viewing experience.This is the story of… THE FREDDY GOT FINGERED INCIDENT.
We’re going back to Episode 1 of We Needed Roads and revisiting one of the most controversial opinions in podcast history…👉 Neil said Doctor Sleep is better than The Shining.Yes. Really.Now, years later, Neil and David are back to settle the argument once and for all. Was Neil onto something? Has David finally accepted the truth? Or is saying Doctor Sleep is better than The Shining still one of the most outrageous takes ever recorded on the podcast?And this time, Ben is back to throw his opinion into the mix… while Jose, Marie & Luke reveal themselves to be the biggest scaredy cats in the We Needed Roads family, having not seen one — or, in some cases, either — of these films! 😂We revisit the original argument, and see whether anyone has changed their minds.
We’ve been a bit quiet recently, but there’s a very good reason WE NEEDED ROADS HAS HIT 200 EPISODES! And rather than doing something sensible, we got everyone together and talked absolute nonsense for 3 HOURS & 51 MINUTES. Neil. David. Jose. Marie. Luke & a mystery returning guest...? So what the hell have we packed into this monster? 🛣️ The history & highlights of 199 episodes 🥪 Dr Sleep vs The Shining 👉 The Freddy Got Fingered Incident 🎬 Our favourite films of all time, across genres and categories including: 💥 Action 😂 Comedy 👹 Horror 🐉 Fantasy 🚀 Sci-Fi 😳 Guilty Pleasure 🌈 Queer🎨 Animation 🦸 Comic Book 2️⃣ Sequels 🎭 Actor/Actress 🎬 Director 🎵 Soundtrack ❤️ Romance 🗣️ Most Quoted 💎 Underrated 🎞️ And the film that made you love cinema And then we dive DEEP into the WNR pod lore… 🧮 Neil's frankly insane ranking system — #NeilMaths 🌈 Marie’s most frequently asked question whenever we choose something to podcast about:“But is it gay?” 💍 Marie must name her No.1 fictional husband from her ever-expanding harem. ❤️ And then, because apparently we’ve all lost our minds, the rest of us reveal our fictional husbands and wives. 🎸 Our mystery guest shares stories from his dealings with two actors who ventured into music — including Keanu Reeves and Jared Leto — and reveals exactly what you'd think! 📊 We reveal our Top 5 most popular episodes of all time 📱 And our most popular short-form clips ❤️ Before finally getting a little bit serious and talking about what being part of We Needed Roads has meant to each of us over the years. And because apparently 3 hours and 51 minutes still wasn't enough…🎬 STICK AROUND FOR THE POST-CREDIT SCENES. 200 episodes. 3 hours. 42 minutes. Nearly 4 hours of WNR history, chaos, arguments, questionable opinions and questionable life choices. We’ve clearly learned absolutely nothing. Thank you to every single Roadie who has listened, watched, shared, commented, argued with us and stuck around through all 200 episodes. We genuinely couldn’t have done it without you. ❤️Here’s to the next 200!!!

The kitchen is officially closed... but before we say goodbye to The Bear, there's one very important question...Did we actually predict Season 5 correctly? 👀Back when we reviewed Season 4, Neil and Marie made some bold predictions about how Carmy, Sydney, Richie and the rest of The Bear's story would end. One of us ended up being alarmingly accurate (and has been unbearably smug ever since), while the other wasn't too far behind.In this FULL SPOILER REVIEW, Neil and Marie look back at their predictions before diving into everything that made the fifth and final season such an emotional farewell.🍽️ In this episode we discuss:Did The Bear stick the landing after two seasons that some viewers considered "mid" (Neil & Marie definitely didn't!)Carmy's final journey and whether his ending felt earned?Sydney's leadership and the evolution of her relationship with Carmy.Richie's incredible character arc (again!).Ebra's genius idea that could save the restaurant.The incredible structure of the season.Why this might be one of television's most satisfying final seasons.We also discover which member of Marie's ever-growing harem of fictional husbands made an appearance this season (she genuinely can't help herself), while Neil slowly realises he's become the Carmy Berzatto of podcast editing—sleep deprived, fuelled almost entirely by caffeine, and only capable of doing one thing: editing podcasts.Because Neil's life has been complete chaos recently, he made his notes live while watching the episodes, meaning this review occasionally descends into the unfiltered stream of consciousness of a very tired man. If you hear random observations about cheese, possessed Paul Rudd, Michelin stars or shouting "CHEESE!" at inappropriate moments... there's a reason.So grab a sandwich, say "Yes, Chef," and join us for one last service.Let us know your favourite moment from the final season in the comments!Follow We Needed Roads Podcast on the socials:🐦 Twitter/Xhttps://twitter.com/NeededRoads📸 Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/weneededroads🎵 TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@weneededroadspodcast🎧 Follow us on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/0E31ucDQy7Ha5PRdtahAjb?si=50a97260f09f4ad7👤 Our SocialsNeilhttps://bsky.app/profile/neilg78.bsky.socialhttps://www.instagram.com/neil_gregory78Neil’s Substack:https://substack.com/@greggors78Davidhttps://bsky.app/profile/llongd.bsky.social@llongd.bsky.socialJose🐦 https://x.com/aspanishjoe📸 https://www.instagram.com/joselopezphotos📷 https://www.jlopezphotos.comMariehttps://x.com/Life_onMarszhttps://www.instagram.com/life.on.marsz/And her podcast https://t.co/VEzFUG3ObX🚗 Fund Our Quest for a DeLoreanhttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/Weneededroads#TheBear #TheBearSeason5 #TheBearFinalSeason #JeremyAllenWhite #AyoEdebiri #FX #DisneyPlus #TVReview #SpoilerReview #EndingExplained #Podcast #WeNeededRoads
🚨 SPOILER WARNING! 🚨Pack your bags, avoid the fog and join the We Needed Roads Team for some sunset cocktails because we're heading to Widow's Bay for our full Season 1 Spoiler Special!Joining Neil are David, Jose and Marie to break down one of the biggest surprise TV hits of the year. The show we've affectionately dubbed "Spooky Parks and Recreation" somehow mixed small-town municipal comedy, supernatural horror and mystery into one of the most addictive new shows on TV.Neil has been banging on about Widow's Bay since he first heard the concept, convinced it was going to be something special before a single episode had aired.David eventually caught up... after delaying things because of something called a holiday (not to Widows Bay) Priorities, David.Jose completely ignored Neil's weekly recommendations until his family started watching it, at which point he suddenly realised Neil might actually have been right.And then there's Marie, who had to be practically dragged kicking and screaming into watching the show because horror really isn't her thing. The jump scares certainly didn't help... and she's still annoyed that there was no 'clown' warning.Join us as we discuss our favourite characters (all hail Queen Patricia) hilarious dialogue, the perfection of the shows tone and where Season 2 could take us? 👇 Let us know in the comments:👻 What did you think of Widow's Bay Season 1?🌫️ Did the finale stick the landing?😱 Which moment scared you the most?😂 Which moment made you laugh the most?And who was your favourite resident of the new Marthas Vineyard?

💪 BY THE POWER OF GRAYSKULL! 💀⚔️This week on We Needed Roads, we're heading back to Eternia for our spoiler-filled review of Masters of the Universe!Joining Neil are Marie, Jose, and special guest Clare from the W-Rated Podcast as we ask the important questions: Has He-Man finally got the big-screen adaptation fans have been waiting for? Does Skeletor still have the greatest villain design of all time? And can a film based on a toy line actually deliver?Neil and Jose are of a certain vintage, meaning they grew up with the cartoons, the action figures, and even survived the legendary 1987 movie. Jose, in particular, definitely spent a lot of time playing with Snake Mountain as a child... and we'll leave that sentence exactly as written.Meanwhile, Marie arrives with absolutely no Masters of the Universe lore, no research, and no idea what's going on—but one of her many fictional husbands appears in this film, so she's locked in regardless.And then there's Clare from the W-Rated Podcast, who couldn't confidently tell you the difference between She-Ra and Teela, but did hate-watch Riverdale all the way to the bitter end, making her uniquely qualified to assess Camila Mendes' arrival in Eternia.Join us as we break down the good, the bad, and the downright WTF moments from Masters of the Universe, discuss whether nostalgia helped or hurt the film, and find out if Eternia's newest adventure has the power... or if it should be banished to Snake Mountain forever.⚔️ Spoilers throughout!Follow We Needed Roads Podcast on the socials:🐦 Twitter/Xhttps://twitter.com/NeededRoads📸 Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/weneededroads🎵 TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@weneededroadspodcast🎧 Follow us on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/0E31ucDQy7Ha5PRdtahAjb?si=50a97260f09f4ad7👤 Our SocialsNeilhttps://bsky.app/profile/neilg78.bsky.socialhttps://www.instagram.com/neil_gregory78Neil’s Substack:https://substack.com/@greggors78Davidhttps://bsky.app/profile/llongd.bsky.social@llongd.bsky.socialJose🐦 https://x.com/aspanishjoe📸 https://www.instagram.com/joselopezphotos📷 https://www.jlopezphotos.comMariehttps://x.com/Life_onMarszhttps://www.instagram.com/life.on.marsz/And her podcast https://t.co/VEzFUG3ObXClare 📸 Instagramclareellenhope🐦 Twitter/Xclareellenhope🎵 TikTokclareellenhope1And her podcasthttps://youtube.com/@W-Rated?si=4qXPZOoi8roWOLZnhttps://open.spotify.com/show/2x7Ag7oDjg1e9mKOw9eGDO?si=b288ae7fe710454e🚗 Fund Our Quest for a DeLoreanhttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/Weneededroads#MastersoftheUniverse #HeMan #Skeletor #CamilaMendes #MovieReview #Podcast #WeNeededRoads #Eternia #SheRa #Teela
The internet's favourite nightmare has finally escaped YouTube and made its way to the big screen.Join Neil and special guest Clare from the W-Rated Podcast as we dive into Backrooms, Kane Parsons' hugely anticipated horror film adaptation of the viral phenomenon. We discuss how low-budget horror continues to punch well above its weight, following in the footsteps of recent breakout successes like Backrooms and Obsession, and ask whether a new generation of YouTube creators are proving they can bring their audiences from the algorithm to the box office.As always, we break down the good, the bad and the WTF moments from the film. Does Backrooms live up to the hype? Does its liminal horror work on a feature-length scale? And just how many endless yellow corridors is too many endless yellow corridors?We also share our own real-life liminal space horror stories, including Clare's surreal experience getting hopelessly lost in the backrooms of Disney World at 2am, and Neil's deeply unsettling midnight journey into the basement of a castle that felt like he'd accidentally noclipped out of reality.So grab a flashlight, keep an eye on the ceiling tiles, and whatever you do, don't follow the noises down the corridor...Follow We Needed Roads Podcast on the socials:🐦 Twitter/Xhttps://twitter.com/NeededRoads📸 Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/weneededroads🎵 TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@weneededroadspodcast🎧 Follow us on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/0E31ucDQy7Ha5PRdtahAjb?si=50a97260f09f4ad7👤 Our SocialsNeilhttps://bsky.app/profile/neilg78.bsky.socialhttps://www.instagram.com/neil_gregory78Neil’s Substack:https://substack.com/@greggors78And find Clare at 📸 Instagramclareellenhope🐦 Twitter/Xclareellenhope🎵 TikTokclareellenhope1And her podcasthttps://youtube.com/@w-rated?si=4qXPZOoi8roWOLZnhttps://open.spotify.com/show/2x7Ag7oDjg1e9mKOw9eGDO?si=b288ae7fe710454e#Backrooms #KaneParsons #HorrorMovies #MovieReview #LiminalSpaces #WeNeededRoads #WRatedPodcast
The Boys is finally over.Join Neil, Luke, Marie and Jose as we dive headfirst into the fifth and final season of The Boys and ask the big question: did one of TV's most outrageous, violent and unpredictable shows actually stick the landing?From jaw-dropping deaths and shocking twists to questionable choices and moments that left us screaming "WHAT THE ACTUAL F***?", we're breaking down all the good, the bad and the WTF from the final season.Did Homelander get the ending he deserved? Which characters came out on top? Which storylines worked, which didn't, and what was the most ridiculous moment of the entire series?Plus, we discuss why a certain billionaire tech bro called the show "pathetic" and whether The Boys remained as sharp and relevant as ever right up until the end.⚠️ FULL SPOILERS throughout ⚠️Let us know in the comments:👉 Did The Boys nail the finale?👉 Who was your MVP of Season 5?👉 What's your biggest WTF moment from the entire series?

Grab a drink and maybe a tissue, because we’re diving headfirst into Shrinking Season 3 in this full spoiler special from We Needed Roads.Neil, Jose, Marie & David are back on the couch breaking down everything Apple TV’s most emotionally devastating (and weirdly comforting) show threw at us this season.

Welcome back to We Needed Roads, where this episode we take two films with the exact same plot… and force them into a death match until only one crawls out covered in bloody carnage and in desperate need of a trip to the hospital!This week: two films, one mission — save your sister from a satanic cult.One does it with dark comedy, ridiculous violence, and rich people getting what they deserve…The other? well basically the same but with a bit more directorial flair and groovier music It’s Ready or Not 2: Here I Come vs They Will Kill You.Same premise. Very different vibes.Neil and David are joined by Clare from @W-Rated as only one film can survive If you love movies, TV, geek culture or listening to four people passionately argue about things that haven’t even released yet… give us a LIKE, drop a COMMENT, and hit SUBSCRIBE so we can lurk in your algorithm foreverFollow We Needed Roads Podcast on the socials:🐦 Twitter/Xhttps://twitter.com/NeededRoads📸 Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/weneededroads🎵 TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@weneededroadspodcast🎧 Follow us on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/0E31ucDQy7Ha5PRdtahAjb?si=50a97260f09f4ad7👤 Our SocialsNeilhttps://bsky.app/profile/neilg78.bsky.socialhttps://www.instagram.com/neil_gregory78Neil’s Substack:https://substack.com/@greggors78Davidhttps://bsky.app/profile/llongd.bsky.social@llongd.bsky.social🎙 Our GuestClare Ellen Hope📸 https://www.instagram.com/clareellenhope🐦 https://x.com/clareellenhope🎵 https://www.tiktok.com/@clareellenhope1?lang=en-GBHer podcast – W Rated:🐦 https://x.com/WRatedPod🎧 https://open.spotify.com/show/2x7Ag7oDjg1e9mKOw9eGDO?si=5706fc78b32e41fa🚗 Fund Our Quest for a DeLoreanhttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/Weneededroads
Welcome back to We Needed Roads, the podcast that proves you don’t need qualifications, training, or even basic emotional stability to be an astronaut...sorry review films on the internet, just a mic, a take, and the confidence of a man explaining astrophysics after two small beers. This week, we’re diving headfirst into Project Hail Mary—a story about a guy who wakes up alone in space, confused, terrified, and wildly underqualified… so basically, Jose on a Monday morning.J ose is here, ready to latch onto any weird alien creature like it’s his new best mate—or potential pet—and honestly, we’re one episode away from him trying to fire him into space. Marie’s here too, and look—statistically speaking, there’s a very high chance she’s about to emotionally imprint on something in this film. Could be a character, could be a concept, could be a rock spider with backstory—we’ll find out together. We’re talking science, survival, loneliness, existential dread, and whether humanity’s best hope is really just “send one bloke into space and hope for the best?' Yes, it is especially if that mans Ryan Gosling So grab your space suits, question your life choices, and remember—if this mission fails… it’s probably Jose's fault.

Bold move watching a whole season hours before recording—so let’s not pretend this episode isn’t powered by caffeine, chaos, and Neil desperately trying to keep things on the rails.Welcome to our Star Trek: Starfleet Academy spoiler special, where the syllabus includes: deep lore dives, unhinged takes, and Jose and Marie trying to remember character names like they’re cramming for an exam they absolutely didn’t revise for.Neil is, of course, in his element—our resident lore master, ready to break down everything from Federation politics to the tiniest canon detail like he personally helped write Star Trek: Starfleet Academy.Jose has technically finished the show… but emotionally? Spiritually? Debatable. Expect vibes, chaos, and at least one take that makes Neil briefly reconsider doing this podcast.And Marie—let’s be honest—only showed up because Neil promised heated Klingonry. Was it worth it? Did she get what she came for? Or has she just accidentally made another sci-fi obsession her entire personality? History suggests we already know the answer.We’re talking best moments, worst decisions, standout characters, questionable plot choices, and whether this is a worthy addition to the Star Trek universe—or one that should’ve stayed in the holodeck.⚠️ FULL SPOILERS throughout ⚠️Drop your thoughts in the comments—did you love it, hate it, or are you still trying to figure out what Neil was on about?Subscribe for more reviews, rants, and absolute nonsense from We Needed Roads
