what’s new on
binge-watchers podcast!!!
Snowed in, chili on the stove, and toxic romance on the screen. This week on the Binge-Watchers Podcast, Johnny Spoiler dives headfirst into Romeo Is Bleeding (1993), the sleazy neo-noir crime thriller starring Gary Oldman, Lena Olin, and Roy Scheider—a movie where everyone betrays everyone and nobody gets out clean.
Before the blood hits the subway tiles, Johnny rants about hating snow, surviving real-life blizzards, bikini porch dives, and why small victories matter when winter tries to kill you. Then it’s Home Video Headlines, including Dragon Ball Super news, DCU Batman rumors, a possible Darkman sequel, and three essential dead-of-winter thrillers: Wind Chill, The Last Winter, and Dead of Winter.
The main event breaks down Romeo Is Bleeding—a corrupt NYC cop seduced by a ruthless Moscow crime boss—with behind-the-scenes facts, Tom Waits trivia, brutal mob moments, courtroom chaos, and why Lena Olin’s Mona feels like a loaded gun aimed at the audience for the entire runtime. We talk broken ribs, real stunts, moral emptiness, and why this movie insists that redemption is a lie life doesn’t care about.
Johnny wraps it up with favorite bits, a Binge Later rating, unfiltered He-Man discourse, staff picks (Code 3, not The Smashing Machine), and a closing that legally has to reference Closing Time.
If you love neo-noir thrillers, Gary Oldman performances, toxic romance movies, mob betrayals, and dark 90s crime films that feel like they hate you personally—this episode is for you.
