The Emoji movie haha actually that would be pretty fun! Finding the good in terrible movies (or trying to)
2020-11-27 04:42:14 +0000 UTCOne of my favourite movies ever!! Thanks for covering
2020-11-27 04:18:22 +0000 UTCIf I am correct, they've shot 2 endings — one, where Scott stays with Knives, one with Ramona. And after test screenings they decided to end with Ramona.
2020-11-16 14:50:54 +0000 UTCHey, not sure if this is too old now for anyone to reply on. Watched It again this week. Does anyone else find the end weird? It seems to setup that Scott sees Knives as the one he wants after all and they even have a moment but it flips back to flowers immediately. The whole fight with Gideon seems to me to show that knives should be his choice. Not sure, just felt funny.

2020-04-19 02:35:07 +0000 UTCTo the discussion of why it bombed at the box office, I think the fact that it came out after Kick-Ass really killed it and the fact that it had Michael Sera just put a bad taste in people's mouths cuz the Judd Apatow saturation was at a peak at that point.
2020-04-04 16:40:36 +0000 UTCI honesty don’t feel like this movie gets talked about enough. The imagination it took to make this film is incredible. I was blown away the first time I saw it. I will never forgive roger ebert for not reviewing this.

2020-04-04 04:00:35 +0000 UTCThis was such a fun episode! Thank you for doing this even with all that is going on right now in the world. Sitting down and listening to an hour of you guys discussing movies is something I needed this week. As far as suggestions for future topics... This is a series, not a movie, so I’m not entirely sure it would qualify, but I’d love to hear you guys discuss Avatar: The Last Airbender, especially considering a Netflix live action is on the works. Because this is an early 00s animated series that aired on Nickelodeon, it is is easy to dismiss it as a “just a kids shows,” but ATLAB tells an amazing story, with great character arcs, and a very unique fantasy world that we don’t see a lot of in Western media. The action scenes which mix eastern martial arts with magic to create bending are also beautifully choreographed and are very revealing of world and character. The fact that they managed to do all that and tackle topics like loss, war, genocide, and abuse while still making she show accessible to their target audience is also incredibly admirable (I can personally confirm it works as I was 12 when the series came out, so right at the show’s targeted demographic).
