The Next Reel | Top 5 Space Movies Ever + The Mandalorian and Grogu Review May 28, 2026

Show notes

What are the greatest space movies of all time? On this episode of The Next Reel, Lance Taylor and Tyler Johns count down their personal Top 5 space-themed movies, debating the sci-fi classics, blockbuster adventures and cinematic experiences that best capture the mystery, danger and spectacle of outer space.

Before the countdown, Lance and Tyler recap what they watched over the weekend. Tyler shares his thoughts on the new theatrical Star Wars adventure, Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu, and whether seeing Din Djarin and Grogu on the big screen brings the franchise back to the fundamentals that made it special. He also reviews the horror movie Passenger and explains why its pacing and repeated jump scares missed the mark.

Lance discusses Billy Wilder’s film noir classic Double Indemnity, revisits the Academy Award-winning Amadeus, and breaks down Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker’s Apocalypse, the documentary about Francis Ford Coppola’s chaotic production of Apocalypse Now. Plus, a harmless night watching Homeland somehow ends with red wine in Maddie’s eyes.

Then it is time for the main event: Lance and Tyler each reveal their Top 5 movies set in space. Which films made the cut? Which selections caused the biggest debate? And did they agree on the number one space movie ever made?

Watch the full countdown and let us know your own Top 5 space movies in the comments.

Chris Low on Lane Kiffin, Kirby Smart & the End of SEC Cupcake Weekend May 27, 2026

Show notes

On3 senior national college football reporter Chris Low joins The Next Round for a loaded conversation on the biggest storylines shaking up SEC football and the future of college football.

The death of SEC cupcake weekend. Chris Low breaks down what the move toward a tougher league schedule means for powerhouse programs like Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Texas, Auburn, Tennessee and Ole Miss — and whether SEC coaches truly understood what they were signing up for with a 9-game conference schedule.

The guys also dive into LSU's Lane Kiffin, who continues to dominate headlines and stir up drama across the league. Has Lane Kiffin become the Jerry Springer of college football coaches?

Plus, Georgia Head Coach Kirby Smart raises major questions about the SEC’s future and the possibility of the conference eventually breaking away from the NCAA. Could college football be headed toward a massive power shift? And were SEC coaches misled about how a 9-game schedule would impact the College Football Playoff, championship races and postseason access?

Last Call | Jake Coker Reacts to Ole Miss Tampering Bombshell & College Football Playoff Expansion May 26, 2026

Show notes

Former Alabama quarterback Jake Coker joins Mick Gillispie to break down some of the biggest storylines shaking up college football and the SEC.

Should the College Football Playoff expand from 12 teams to 16 — or even 24? Coker explains why a 16-team playoff could benefit the SEC, while the guys discuss Greg Sankey’s pushback on a larger field, the future of the SEC Championship Game, and whether television networks are influencing the expansion debate.

Then, the conversation turns to the explosive Ole Miss–Clemson tampering investigation. After Dabo Swinney publicly accused Ole Miss and Pete Golding of improper contact involving a Clemson player, the NCAA now faces a major credibility test. Could the new transfer-tampering penalties lead to a head-coach suspension and a massive financial penalty?

Plus, Jake and Mick debate Ole Miss’s historical place in the SEC and preview one of the most personal games of the 2026 season: Lane Kiffin returning to Oxford as LSU’s head coach to face Ole Miss.

Topics include:

College Football Playoff expansion, SEC football, Jake Coker, Alabama football, Ole Miss football, Clemson football, Pete Golding, Dabo Swinney, Lane Kiffin, LSU football, NCAA tampering rules and the SEC Championship Game.
