Is the cinema officially back? This week, I’m looking at Hollywood’s surprisingly huge year at the box office, from the phenomenon of Spider-Man and Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey to the resurgence of horror and what all of this says about the future of theatrical moviegoing in the age of streaming. I’m also looking ahead at the films still to come in 2026, including Resident Evil, Clayface, Prime Time, the Hunger Games prequel, and the absolutely insane December showdown between Avengers: Doomsday and Dune: Part Three.

Plus, I have some thoughts on why streaming may actually be helping cinema make a comeback, why Jumanji needs to give it a rest, and three Songs of the Week to end the episode.
