Stay Through the Credits

We’re Dan and Julia, and we cannot watch a movie without arguing about it.

Stay Through the Credits is what happens when two people with very different taste share one couch (or one mic). One of us cries at everything. One of us says “it’s fine, it’s just a movie” and then thinks about it for three days. Guess which is which.

Every week we talk about the films and shows we can’t stop thinking about: the masterpieces, the guilty pleasures, the endings that ruined our night, and the hidden gems we’ll bully you into watching.

No film-school gatekeeping. No pretending we liked the boring one.

Edward Scissorhands: Suburbia, Scissors, and Soft Hearts Jul 02, 2025

Show notes

We dive into Tim Burton’s dark suburban fairy tale Edward Scissorhands — a story about an unfinished creation, a pastel-perfect town, and what happens when someone beautifully different is dropped into a world that fears the unfamiliar.

Blink Twice or Miss Everything: Zoë Kravitz’s Bold Debut Jun 30, 2025

Zoë Kravitz steps behind the camera and makes one hell of an entrance with Blink Twice, a sharp, stylish thriller that blends luxury, danger, and power dynamics with a wicked sense of humor.
