Does Disney/Marvel Have a Problem with Female...

The Roll Out ·

2022/08/19

Disney, we need to talk. We love all the strides you’ve made with female representation in the Marvel universe (you’ve gone above and beyond DC, which is a clusterfuck we’ll have to talk about another day), but we question just how long lasting these characters are? I know others have criticized you and started calling you the M-She-U, because of all the big badass ladies you’ve given us lately, but we have concerns. For every female character you give us, you seem to take her away just as quickly

In today’s episode, Linsay and Genevieve do a deep dive analysis into Dr. Strange & the Multiverse of Madness and it’s cliche use of the crazy mom trope. After showing us Wanda’s redemption at the end of WandaVision, they completely destroy her character in this movie and gave her virtually no chance at redemption. Shame on you Marvel, Scarlet Witch deserved better. We look at uses of the crazy mom trope in other shows and films and really hope we won’t see it again. But we will. Let us know

Obi-Wan Kenobi - Would Have Made a Much Better Movie

The Roll Out ·

2022/07/29

Linsay and Genevieve are back from San Diego Comic-Con and diving into Obi-Wan Kenobi on Disney+. They broke down the first few episodes last month, but with the show being over they wanted to take a deeper dive. The verdict? The show would have been better served had it been a two hour movie. The acting was great, but there was a lot of padding, unnecessary scenes, questionable character motivations and inconsistent uses of the force. But of course this is just our opinion.

Ms. Marvel is Just the Show We Need Right Now

The Roll Out ·

2022/07/18

Disney/Marvel has been a bit hit and miss lately with their shows and movies. Ms. Marvel hit it out of the park. Linsay and Genevieve loved it. The teenage feel was fun and refreshing, the focus on friend and family and community reminded us what’s really important in this day and age and diving into a culture that is rarely seen portrayed in film and tv was handled perfectly. All in all the show is fun for the whole family and we can’t wait to see Kamala Khan in her next outing. Subscribe to us on

The Roll Out ·

2022/05/18

Linsay and Genevieve are back with their analysis of movies that just don’t work in the modern era. In this episode, they break down 1985’s Weird Science. You’d never know this came from John Hughes, who made his name with the classic high school films The Breakfast Club and 16 Candles. The movie fell flat at the time, with critics tearing it apart, but went on to become a cult classic. When looking at the movie through a 2022 lens, all those problems are still there with even more that would make

Marvel's Moon Knight Postmortem

2022/05/11

Marvel’s Moon Knight on Disney+ has come and gone and we’re left with…well…not much. Linsay and Genevieve didn’t hate it but they also didn’t love it. All and all, it didn’t leave much of an impact at all. Were it not for the stellar acting, they would have probably given up. The show starts off pretty slow but then gets a little more interesting towards the end. The only thing to really come out of it is our hope that we get a Scarlet Scarab spinoff.

Linsay and Genevieve are so excited to be joined by Chad Michael Collins. You know him as Brandon Beckett in the SNIPER film series and as Alex/Echo 3-1 in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. A self-proclaimed “accidental” actor, Collins made his way west to Hollywood in pursuit of a public relations career after majoring in Journalism at Ithaca College. He eventually discovered acting while continuing to work as a publicist in the entertainment industry, ultimately transitioning into his new career:

Cringeworth: Movies that Didn't Age Well - Troy

2022/04/23

Some movies were blockbusters at the time, but when you watch them now, you wonder what people were thinking. In a new series of videos we’ll be trying to do once a month, Linsay and Genevieve break down movies that would never get made nowadays. First up, is 2004’s “Troy,” starring Brad Pitt. Boy oh boy does this movie have problems. First of all, for a movie that claims to be based on the epic poem “The Iliad”, (something virtually every child had to read in high school), it completely failed to

2022/04/01

***SPOILERS*** Halo on Paramount+ is finally here. Derived from the hugely popular video game, the show is being billed as Paramount’s answer to Game of Thrones (though at a measly $90mil for the season it’s less than half the budget of Marvel’s Disney+ shows). And despite all the comparisons to The Mandalorian, Linsay and Genevieve...didn’t hate it. They loved the introduction on the rebel planet. Not only did they give all of the characters (even background) personality with their appearances, but

Horizon Forbidden West might have been delayed a bit due to COVID, but it was well worth the weight. In this episode, Linsay and Genevieve the game mechanics that not only improved upon Horizon Zero Dawn, but could be a game changer for other AAA games. The biggest update is its climbing mechanics. They successfully managed to innovate where other games haven’t. They’ve added a few new tools, the pullcaster grappling hook and the Shieldwing glider.

***SPOILERS*** Season 3 of Picard stars of in fascist world, but thankfully we’re quickly transported back to 2024 Los Angeles. Thanks COVID for this change in filming having to keep us in LA due to travel restrictions and for Patrick Stewart’s need to be essentially alone on a green screen. But unfortunately, the change in scenery didn’t do anything to help with the writing and story. It’s still doesn’t feel like a fully fleshed out TV show.

***SPOILERS*** Season 2 of Picard continues with this action packed second episode. But it has us asking the question, are we even watching a Star Trek show anymore? Q is back with a vengeance and we find ourselves in a dystopian new future. Boy oh boy does it feel like the writers are taking us down a story path that has been done before. It’s the Man in the High Castle in Space. It’s Mirror Mirror 2.6. Ulike OG Star Trek, those are not the problems we’re facing in the modern world. What’s the

***SPOILERS*** Season two of Picard is here. While season ended with mixed reviews from audiences and critics, the show is seemingly Paramount+’s equivalent to “The Mandalorian” as they attempt to create an expanded Star Trek universe to compete with the Disney+’s Star War universe. But is Sir Patrick Stewart enough to keep viewers invested in the show? Linsay and Genevieve dive into episode one to try and answer some of those questions. There were some things they liked and some things they found

Enchanting Encanto

2022/02/11

Disney’s Encanto has been out since November, but it continues to make headlines and for good reason. After faltering with a few of the previous animated features, Disney nails it with this feel good family musical. Disney paid particular attention to authenticity in this film, having a slew of female and Latina writers, directors, producers, composers and consultants. Bringing on Lin Manuel Miranda to compose chart topping hits that blew Frozen out of the water was the icing on the cake. With

Episode five of The Book of Boba Fett was everything we wanted from the show, an episode of The Mandalorian with no Boba Fett. It’s no secret that Linsay and Genevieve haven’t been loving The Book of Boba Fett and episode five perfectly illustrated all the reasons why. The Mandalorian has purpose, conflict, stakes, adventures. The writing is absolutely fantastic, plot development is solidly unpredictable, the acting is top notch and quite honestly, even the production design looked better. Whereas
