This week on Triple Take, Jacob and Zach dive headfirst into some massive movie news, chaotic trailers, and one extremely fast (and extremely fake) Formula 1 movie.

🔥 News Highlights:

• Denis Villeneuve is rumored to direct the next James Bond film. Jacob’s all in—but wants a return to the Connery-era camp.
• Aaron Sorkin is officially writing and directing The Social Network 2. Zach’s intrigued. Jacob’s nervous.
• Michael Bay is back for another Transformers movie. Jacob’s take? “Cinematic muscle memory.”

🎬 Trailer Talk:

• Fantastic Four: Final trailer drops with beardy Ben Grimm, stretchy Reed, and Galactus in full “Galactussy” mode.
• Roofman: Channing Tatum stars in a bizarre true crime tale about Toys“R”Us, McDonald’s, and freezers.
• Eden: Ron Howard brings an all-star cast to the Galapagos.
• Bugonia: Yorgos. Emma. Plemons. Aliens. Weirdness guaranteed.

🏎️ Movie of the Week:
F1: The Movie gets the full pit stop treatment. Jacob calls it “cliché overload” but still can’t look away. From Zimmer’s booming score to Bardem’s scene-stealing and plastic-faced Brad Pitt, it's all gas, no brakes. Is it Top Gun on wheels or a glorified Apple ad? Maybe both.

🎭 Discussion Question:
Who would you cast as the next James Bond?

📺 Wacha Watchin’

• Jacob: The Bear S4, Valkyrie, Ozark, F1
• Zach: Oceans 11, Stranger Things, Ironheart, Squid Game S3

In this jam-packed episode of Triple Take, Zach kicks things off before the crew dives into the week’s biggest movie news. The rumored shelving of the Rey-led Star Wars film stirs speculation, James Gunn’s Superman gets some quirky cameos from MCU alumni, and 28 Years Later impresses at the box office with strong global numbers. Meanwhile, Pixar hits an unfortunate milestone with Elio’s worst-ever domestic opening.

Trailer talk this week includes first looks at Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere starring Jeremy Allen White, the chilling return of The Black Phone 2, and Liam Neeson swinging hard in The Naked Gun reboot.

At the 1-hour mark, things heat up with a spirited round of movie hot takes—nothing’s safe, everything’s fair game.

Then around 1:20, the guys do a deep dive into 28 Years Later, discussing its impact, its tone, and what it could mean for the horror genre going forward.

Finally, it’s time for Wacha Watchin?

• Jacob's been binging Stranger Things, revisiting Shawshank Redemption, laughing through Hot Rod, and getting spiritual with Constantine.
• Zach’s also back in the Stranger Things world and revisiting Constantine.
• Lance checks in with Stick, 28 Years Later, Love Island, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, The Gorge, and How to Train Your Dragon.

Zach kicks things off as the crew dives into this week’s biggest movie news: AMC theaters plan to show even more ads before films, a new Wonder Woman movie is officially in development at DC Studios, and the Zelda release date shift avoids a clash with Godzilla x Kong. Plus, popcorn lovers beware — Galactus is coming in bucket form… for $80.

The trailer breakdown features reactions to ALIEN: Earth, Ironheart Trailer 2, Wicked: For Good, Freakier Friday, and Megan 2.0.

At the hour mark, the trio tackles a big question: Why are so many major releases now sequels or remakes? And will original ideas ever dominate the box office again?

Finally, in "Wacha Watchin’", Jacob, Zach, and Lance share their latest watches — from Stranger Things and Clarkson’s Farm to Alien: Romulus and Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark.
