Gus recommended 'Sleep' because it's a horror film about a married couple where the husband starts sleepwalking and doing dangerous things without awareness, which is unsettling and explores the horror of a partner becoming antagonistic without memory.
Barb enjoyed watching 'Only Murders in the Building' Season 4, which is a murder mystery show on Hulu with a star-studded cast including Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez.
'Robot Dreams' is an animated film from Spain with no dialogue, set in 1984 Manhattan with anthropomorphized animals. Gus recommended it for its delightful, colorful animation and a heartwarming story of a lonely dog and a robot becoming friends.
'The Accidental Twins' is a documentary about two sets of twins accidentally swapped at a hospital, leading to two boys growing up in different environments and eventually discovering the truth about their origins.
Barb found the new 'Beetlejuice' movie to be overly complicated with too many plot lines and subplots, making it less enjoyable than expected despite strong performances by Meryl Streep and Michael Keaton.
Gus is excited about the second season of 'Squid Game' and 'Severance' Season 2, while Barb is looking forward to 'Squid Game' Season 2 as well.
Barb thought 'Joker: Folie à Deux' was a disappointing musical with too many songs and weak storytelling, and 'Borderlands' was a poorly executed adaptation of the video game with bad visual effects and a weak script.
