120 – Annihilation Oscars

WE ARE BACK! Andy swears about Red Sparrow, talks up Game Night, and Andy and Adam both gush about Annihilation. Our Oscar picks– who will win and who should win. Highlights: Andy doesn’t like Three Billboards or Darkest Hour. Adam likes Call Me By Your Name. We both like Bladerunner 2049 and Andy Serkis– who aren’t nominated. It’s a long episode, but that’s what happens when we’re away for months!

119 – Justice League Coco

Adam is sick, so with our Superman out, Andy had to assemble a Justice League of his own to take on these movies: Kaitlyn Booth of Bleeding Cool, and Mark De Leon and Melissa Martinez from No You Move.  We have lots of feelings about Justice League, and even more about Coco. Bring tissues.

118 – Thor: Ragnarok

Thor: Ragnarok is the best Thor movie. It’s funny, it’s beautiful, and it might even make you think. Listen to us gush over it for almost a half hour set to a soundtrack provided by Led Zeppelin.  9/10. Would Ragnarok again.

117 – Blade Runner 2049

WE LOVE BLADE RUNNER 2049!!! And we’re going to spend 30 minutes not telling you anything about it. No spoilers. Zero. But lots of why it’s good. How it succeeds where movies like Ghost in the Shell, mother!, and Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets failed. This is the best movie of the year, and we both give it a 10/10 perfect score.

116 – Kingsman Ninjago

This week we discuss Kingsman: The Golden Circle, The Lego Ninjago Movie, and Brad’s Status. Brad’s Status is Ben Stiller and Mike White being serious about being older. The Lego Ninjago Movie reinvents the long-running cartoon / toy commercial for Lego ninjas with a voice cast of comedy all-stars. It’s lots of fun and fits in well with the Lego movie universe. Kingsman: The Golden Circle is loads of fun, and an even more serious spy movie than its predecessor. Julianne Moore is a great villain. Sir Elton John! Not as good as the original but still great.

Apologies for the late post. Between Comic Con and Andy being in the middle of nowhere for work for a week we could never post the episode.

115 – mother!

Warning! This episode gets PG-13 with a couple of f-words and discussions of the adult content of mother! We also welcome Kaitlyn Booth of Bleeding Cool. Andy talks Rebel in the Rye: a good movie about a kind of garbage person who wrote a garbage book that garbage people love. 5/10. Kaitlyn saw American Assassin and found it utterly unnecessary and cliched. And then there’s mother! We all hate it with a fiery passion. And no, it’s not because we don’t understand it.

113 – The Hitman’s Brigsby Bear

We’re back with The Hitman’s Bodyguard and Brigsby Bear. And stick around as we talk about all our panels at Salt Lake Comic Con!! The Hitman’s Bodyguard studios keep learning the wrong lesson from Deadpool. It’s mediocre, but check out the fuller written review here. Brigsby Bear is heartfelt and beautiful, not what we’d expect from The Lonely Island and Kyle Mooney from SNL. Great film and more here.  We have panels at Salt Lake Comic Con!! For a full listing, go here. Adam’s panels here. Andy’s here.

This week’s soundtrack taken from and inspired by the video game Undertale, which we talk about at the end.

112 – The Dark Detroit Tower

The Dark Tower and Detroit opened this week. Neither of us are familiar with the source material. Adam gives it a 7, Andy gives it a 6. A cameo by Mr. Meeseeks. Detroit and Andy talks for a long time about racism. Get Out and Mondo posters.
