What the hosts said

CIt's Culture Tonight, and Robert Eggers is about to make werewolves miserable.
LDiscussingFilm on X just posted a first look at Aaron Taylor-Johnson in Werwulf.
CFocus Features confirms it: Eggers period horror, Christmas Day 2026.
LOne reply says Eggers is about to make the most miserable werewolf movie ever, and I'm buying a ticket day one.
CThe man is very good at brooding. This is a perfect match.
LSpeaking of tickets being sold before the movie's even out—
CThe Avengers presale rumor?
LComplex on X says an upcoming Avengers film has already collected over 125 million dollars, citing Forbes.
CI couldn't find that Forbes figure anywhere, and they never say which Avengers project. That's a huge claim with no paper trail.
LBut presales for Avengers are real! Fans pay early for event movies.
CReal presales have a title, a date, a link. This has a big number and a blank.
LYou're being too literal. The demand is obviously there.
CDemand is there. The number isn't verified. Those are different things.
LFine, I'll wait for actual presale numbers. Meanwhile, IGN posted on X a claim that HBO dropped a surprise episode of It: Welcome to Derry for Halloween.
CIf true, that's a great Halloween stunt. But there's no official word from HBO yet.
LExactly. Treat it like a costume—looks good, but check who's underneath.
