“These movies are not made for audiences.” - Steve, on DTS titles like this

On our first episode of 2026 we’re chatting about the direct-to-streaming, holiday-set sequel, The Family Plan 2!

Why can’t Wahlberg be icing dudes in this movie? Beyond that great Michael Bay doc that hasn’t come out yet, are we still doing parkour in movies? Should Mark just start doing PVOD Secret Movies? How much of a boost does the on-location shooting give you? Does Kit Harington’s character have an actual plan beyond the vague “power” dream? Why are we cramming Christmas into this film? And doesn’t Michelle Monaghan deserve better than this? PLUS: The Transformers get down with some parkour too!The Family Plan 2 stars Mark Wahlberg, Michelle Monaghan, Zoe Colletti, Van Crosby, Reda Elazouar, Sidse Babett Knudsen, Sanjeev Baskar, and Kit Harington as Finn Clarke; directed by Simon Cellan Jones.

I’m 20 minutes in and realized that this is probably how Marky Mark is with his real kids, especially daughter. Clearly this movie hates Michelle Monaghan by presenting Columbus as her new happy. (Sorry Ohio peeps, I have a lot of Great Lakes State fam they all went to Michigan State, M, Kalamazoo College, and Central).

Jamie

Watched Fixed last night. Holy. Fucking. Shit.

Jamie

It's not the worst movie from 2025 (Section 31 exists), but it might be the most "Why does this exist" of 2025.

Busiris

Thrilled that the gang all had the same experience as I did - vaguely/barely remembering anything from the first movie but, oh hell no, we will NOT be re-watching it. The first movie and this movie might as well be called "One and Done" and "One and Done 2".

Jan

This is neither a sequel to the union / younion or the union / younion. Now i’m sad

"Oh shit, bro, there I was talking to the Pope in Latin, but guess what, BRO? He's from Chicago! Should've been Beantown!"

johnny stocker

Yeah, I think it's enough is enough with the idea of Mark Wahlberg as a 'Movie Star'. I've never had much time for him anyway other than PTA making good use of the fact that he's a real life lunkhead in Boogie Nights, but yeah. Time to retire him to secret movie purgatory.

DMAC

Love the return of the Mark Wahlberg bit.

MarkNM

I'm ready for the Goobahverse where we find out that all of Mark Wahlberg's mediocre protagonists are actually all Goobah's dying dreams.

James

I saw “Arthur the King” last year and it’s one of the more tolerable Mark Wahlberg movies. There’s a short ESPN documentary called “SC Featured: Arthur” about it that is much better.

Billie Jackson

Turbo Teen is nightmare fuel and would probably be a great fit for AD. If anyone is wondering about it, just look up the transformation scene in which the titular teen turns into a car. His hands becoming tires and face becoming the headlights, grille, etc is Saturday morning body horror.

MarkNM

Even creepier than Rubik the Amazing Cube, which aint easy.

Elliott Tipton

Michelle had to do the same stick shift lesson in eagle eye.

Matt

This is a fake sequel to a fake movie! Who is watching these?!

QB

Add my vote to Eric's recommending Turbo Teen for AD. Used to watch it on USA's Cartoon Express - it may be the worst animated show I've ever seen.

Jaime Lee Ezell

We’ve been rewatching Flight of the Conchords, it is so great!!

TJ Gaines

Hated this movie with a passion. And there is no statue of OJ Simpson in Buffalo. There is a statue of the original owner though. A fun fact. Last Sunday was possibly the last game at the old stadium, so the county sheriffs and State Police were at all the exits to ensure no one was walking out with seats, cup holders, signage, etc. But I have seen several videos online of things that have grown legs and walked out. Biggest thing was a bike rack/security barricade.

Mark D Myers

Speaking of black Knight one time the defenders went back in time to the middle ages and he chose to stay behind so he could fight in the crusades. Then other writers had him say what a bad idea that was.

Frank Grimes

I fell asleep watching it and I’m not inclined to turn it back on. Listening to the episode without finishing it should be fine right?

Paul

Next week - Tron: Arse. 😁 Can’t wait.

Craig

Maybe it was deliberate, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard Andrew and Steve sound more New York than when saying “dorg” in the first few minutes.

Infinite Terror

Appreciate the Sajdak Sandman update as someone who cried reading that article about the writer who will not be named.

Rose Esposito

I love that we've gone from "the worst of [year]" to "some of the worst of" to just "movies we watched last year."

ediblegenius

Excuse me ... are you fucking serious? Eric maybe said the most offensive and possibly DUMBEST thing I've ever heard in my life...Garbage Plates are from ROCHESTER not Buffalo. Ffs. Now, if you excuse me I'll be on my fainting couch clutching my pearls.

Graeme Hill

I keep getting this film series confused with Instant Family. A separate Mark Wahlberg family based film, but one that's actually good. heart-warming even!

Craig

“It needs a Josh Gadd type (not him).” -Steve

profondo robbo

I admire the gang's almost-unwavering commitment to covering Wahlberg and his increasingly secret movies in these worst-of-the-year round-ups - makes me a little disappointed he apparently didn't do anything worth covering in 2024 (maybe The Union deserves it, but I'll probably never know). Also, I will have to disagree with Andrew and say that Fountain of Youth is not a significantly better movie than this one - if anything, filtering a shameless Last Crusade knockoff (not just Indiana Jones, but Last Crusade specifically) through this same weightless streaming gloss very nearly makes it feel worse.
