Is this the most popular, highest-grossing movie we’ve ever done? Possibly! We’re too lazy to put in the legwork to check. Why don’t YOU do it, for a school project about statistics or economics or some shit. Anyway, the point is, we used the “or CRITICAL flop” loophole (42 on Metacritc) so we could watch The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Don’t at us. Or do, whatever, we’re not your dad.
Executive Producer of the all-new animated series Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai (and our pal) Brendan Hay joins us, for Elliott’s canonical sexiness rankings of those compact green snacks, the grembleings.
We’ve talked about the Sony corner of Marvel more than once, but the relative high quality of MCU movies has saved them from our scrutiny… until now! What did we make of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, a film whose very title is a pain in the ass to type out for these show notes? Listen to find out!
It’s exactly what it says in the title. What could possibly be clearer?
It’s got Adam Driver! It’s got dinosaurs! It’s got a numerical title that sounds like a sports biopic and makes the title of this podcast episode look confusing! What more do you want? Well, it turns out that 65 needs a LITTLE more than all that to be a real movie, but at least it’s out there trying.
Elliott, mega-sporto that he is, challenges Stuart and Dan to see who’s the number one sports movie fan.
We watch a movie about four octogenarian women going to the Super Bowl, because apparently that’s a full concept for a movie these days? Like, just… older people seeing football? That’s a movie? Anyway, it’s called 80 for Brady and we watched it. One of us even liked it, so if you enjoy listening to the other two being dumbfounded, this is the episode for you.
After a little talk about the writers’ strike (donate to the Entertainment Community Fund here, if you’re so inclined), Dan takes us behind the scenes at Flop House HQ.
