Ep1089: Companion (2025) - Live Roundtable Review
If you've seen Drew Hancock's Companion, you know that explaining it to those who haven’t seen it is nearly impossible--which is why Earth's Mightiest Critics are assigning you homework for this livestream!
The late-January release is still playing in some theaters (Go, go, go!), but you can also rent/buy it On Demand. It tells the story of Iris (Sophie Thatcher), a young-and-in-love young woman who's accompanying her boyfriend, Josh (Jack Quaid), on a weekend getaway with his friends at a remote luxury cabin.
Yep, that's all we can tell you, besides:
Don’t watch the trailer.
Don’t look up the synopsis.
Don’t look at the movie poster or any streaming/physical media cover art.
But definitely do watch the movie and then join us for a complete breakdown of one of the year's sharpest, surprising, and downright relevant films!
We'll escort you down a spoilerific path of twists, turns, and totally messed-up ideas! We also answer your questions, comments, and SuperChats!
