Brett Arnold
Brett Arnold is a film critic and writer at Yahoo who focuses on new-release movies and how audiences can watch them across theaters, digital rental and streaming platforms. He has covered national news and entertainment at the company for more than eight years and now acts as a central voice in Yahoo Entertainment’s film coverage. His work is defined by a disciplined, weekly viewing routine that feeds into a consumer-facing guide, giving readers both critical context and practical directions on what to watch and where to find it.
Trust Me, I Watch Everything
Arnold curates a recurring column, Trust Me, I Watch Everything, which functions as Yahoo Entertainment’s weekly roadmap to new movie releases. In these pieces, he groups films into a clear format that typically distinguishes what is opening in theaters from what can be rented at home and what is debuting or arriving on streaming services.
Recent installments follow a consistent structure built around headlines such as “New movies to watch this weekend: See ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ in theaters, rent ‘Hoppers,’ stream ‘Wuthering Heights’ on HBO Max” and similar variations that specify titles and platforms. Other entries highlight combinations like seeing a major studio release in cinemas while renting smaller films and streaming catalog or prestige titles, reinforcing his role as a guide through both new and existing offerings.
Across the column, he covers a wide range of genres and budgets, addressing studio sequels, festival favorites, streaming originals and niche projects in the same grid, which distinguishes his coverage from more fragmented entertainment reporting.
Horror and genre coverage
Within that weekly framework, Arnold shows a particular depth of interest in horror and genre cinema. His Halloween-focused piece, “Horror movies to watch this Halloween: Stream ‘Weapons,’ revisit ‘What Lies Beneath’ and discover ‘Pontypool,’” combines mainstream and cult titles, inviting readers to explore both familiar and lesser-known entries in the genre.
In another guide built around the release of “28 Years Later,” he pairs the film with other genre offerings such as “Final Destination: Bloodlines,” “Friendship” and “A Minecraft Movie,” again balancing franchise horror, thriller and high-concept genre work inside a single weekend recommendation set. This attention to horror and related genres extends beyond the page through his podcast The New Flesh, which is dedicated to horror movies and further signals his expertise and enthusiasm in that space.
By consistently elevating horror alongside more broadly marketed studio fare, he treats genre cinema as a central part of the weekly conversation rather than a niche sidebar.
Film reviews and criticism
In addition to the guide format, Arnold writes standalone reviews that engage directly with individual films and their creative and industrial contexts. His review of “Coyote vs. Acme” assesses the movie’s strengths while addressing the high-profile studio decision to withhold it from release, positioning the film within the larger story of contemporary studio strategy and Looney Tunes legacy.
A separate review of “Resident Evil,” covering Zach Cregger’s video game adaptation, judges it as a standout within that franchise, making clear, argued claims about its place among earlier adaptations.
These reviews show him moving beyond simple recommendations into detailed evaluations of direction, performance, tone and franchise history, with an emphasis on clarity and verdicts that readers can act on. Intros to his work and his own show descriptions frame his reviewing style as reminiscent of Siskel & Ebert, reinforced by his hosting of At the Movies Again, which is explicitly cast as a weekly movie review tribute to their format. Across the guides and reviews, his criticism is structured to tell readers both what he thinks and how to see the film, merging traditional film-critic work with service journalism.
Podcasts and professional roles
Arnold’s film coverage is reinforced by his activity as a podcaster and his membership in professional critic circles. He hosts movie review podcasts, including At the Movies Again and The New Flesh, using those shows to discuss new releases every week and to delve more deeply into horror and genre cinema.
His author biography and professional profiles describe him as a longtime editor and film critic at Yahoo who writes a weekly guide to new-release movies and highlights when and where they become available to watch, aligning his audio work with his written output. He is a voting member of the Critics’ Choice Association, anchoring his work within an organized community of film critics and tying his assessments to broader awards conversations and year-end evaluations.
Taken together, the weekly column, the film-specific reviews and the podcasts form a continuous loop of viewing, analysis and recommendation, which sets his coverage apart from more occasional entertainment reporting and makes his beat distinctly focused on helping audiences navigate the contemporary movie landscape.
