A romance with People's Sexiest Man Alive of 2022? Color me intrigued. Though after watching this one, I'd be a little wary of going down that path.

Tense. Focused. Mysterious. All apt descriptors, but missing that this is also needlessly complicated and a bit self-important. However, just like all the neon signs throughout, we light the shadowed narrative path, and look good while doing it.

2023/01/19

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Not in the slightest, because only one of these superheros has anything close to flight. A great send up of superheros and vigilantes that was surprisingly prescient, considering what the next two decades of cinema would look like. This also gave the world the banger that is All Star by Smash Mouth as well as the 2nd grossest thing Paul Reubens has ever done.

Its the late 2000s. What comedy genres have had their time in the limelight recently? Teen sex comedies and road trip movies. Does combining them work in this instance? Barely, if at all. This may be the most dating advice with aunt Sophia heavy episode to date, because when you watch a train-wreck of relationships, its easy to point out all the ways to not fuck up.

2022/12/08

We keep it rolling with movies made in the 20th century. But this one is not nearly as enjoyable, at least not sincerely. Anyway, we just complain a lot about a movie that features Sean Connery in one the strangest costumes to come out of Hollywood.

Usually all three people here enjoy musicals, but only one of us liked this movie. This may actually be an elaborate, roundabout marriage proposal from Sophia to Alona Tal.

Its that one farting corpse movie. Would you believe us that this is actually a pretty deep and touching movie? Well buckle in and let us make a believer out of you?

Seems puberty makes you act cringe. But lets make this funny by doing something like that but unexpectedly, like with a grown man. Is it funny? Absolutely not! Cringe is always cringe, even though cringe is dead. As well anyone should, we ignore the main nonsense to focus on the main characters dumb-dumb buddies.

We've been trying to do less movies about high school teenagers and their silly problems. But, for 90 minutes a year, all cringe is legal. Complaints are aplenty. Will they get resolved by the end?

So we thought we were walking into a movie where two attractive ladies...hang out, I guess. That was not the case. This was a disturbing portrayal of a person giving into their worst instincts, driven by loneliness. A gripping balancing act that also gives us a bit of relief with Ice Cube's son.

Do you kind of like America because its the only place you've ever lived but also deeply despise many goings-on of the country? What if there were a movie that made you both appear to care about America in the bizarre manner of a zealot, but actually just showed you bonkers animation with a shockingly bizarre sense of humor. Come with us on this journey as Kyle gets a kick out of this production and Sophia works very hard to not to get stuck in the weeds about actual history. IMDB JustWatch Various
