I briefly thought I remembered M.A.N.T.I.S. but it turns out I was thinking of Manimal

Peter Tribe

Didn’t Jeff give a positive review to Downsizing? That was terrible. With a few exceptions my taste almost always aligns with Jeff so that was an interesting “one which they don’t get”

Peter Tribe

Probably because he’s a Marvel zombie from way back.

Tamar

Yeah, so strange. It definitely recontextualized some of his films for me in a way that makes me uncomfortable

Olivia Oliver

Never would have picked Sean Baker as a Nazi Conservative…

Olivia Oliver

They did with Lindsey Lohan and Michale Keaton in 2005. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0400497/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk

If Mubi is for sickos, then who’s Tubi for???

Tamar

Any thoughts on all the news that’s come to light about Baker?? Follows LibsOfTikTok, wokemindvirus, Jordan Peterson, RFK, Melania Trump, a bunch of zionist accounts including the IDF and apparently some underage OFs accounts. And he was caught liking several pro-Rittenhouse tweets before twitter went private. If true, find it weird that he keeps making movies about marginalized groups where he puts them through the ringer physically, emotionally, mentally when his politics are so right leaning.

Dave The movie that needs a remake. is a modern telling of 'The Love Bug' do it again. Do it all with no CG. Disney released a trailer for the original, and it made me need to go watch it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gn3gK27HIsw

I'm surprised there was no talk about the fact that Red Hulk is clearly played like it's a huge twist in the movie, despite the fact that he's been in every single trailer and poster for months. I think spoiling that in the marketing did a huge disservice to the movie, and it would have been a fun surprise instead of everyone sitting around waiting for it to finally happen, only for him to appear briefly and fizzle out in minutes at the very end.

HOUNDini was right there

Tom Jensen

I agree. Thor: L&T was hot garbage.

Tom Jensen

We thought the Gorge was a good sit.

Tom Jensen

Listening to Jeff talk about the movie sounded like he was giving it a C-, but he liked it? I'm confused.

Jon See

I would really like an “A Few Good Men” Lega-sequel that centers around the Demi Moore character. She was always the better defense attorney than Tom Cruise’s Daniel Caffey who wanted to sell out his client the majority of the movie. Would be an interesting insight into modern women in the military. Compelling courtroom dramas are few and far between these days as are compelling military dramas like we had in the 90s. Bring them back! Ride the Demi/Substance wave even further!

Or The Gorge

I couldn’t believe the Drasa character even for a moment. She seemed completely reliant on obtaining a man the moment she arrives at the Gorge and there was nothing to suggest this about her character before that point. The first time she writes a message to Levi I was completely out of the movie. Are they a couple of 13 year olds because that’s how they came across. Could they not have made the leads at least somewhat real to life and not fantasy characters

MUBI: Entertainment for sickos

Reynaldo K. Cruz

Maybe the mcu thunderbolts are named after Ross but the comics thunderbolts sure weren’t

Reynaldo K. Cruz

I and with Jeff! Jeff I’d highly suggest checking out movie bob’s review so you don’t feel alone!

Reynaldo K. Cruz

Wild to hear the gorge get praise but such vitriol towards an by-all-accounts average marvel movie

Don Wood

Thor 4 was super fun and I’m not afraid to say that in public.

Don Wood

Oh, David. David, David, David. The Gorge is not good. It is not close to good. But it does suffer from a mismatch of the material to the cast and what passes as marketing for Apple TV productions. When I see you cast these two big time actors and they are staring at me from the splash page with grim resolve I’m expecting you to take the rest of the movie pretty seriously. This is Frank Grillo material at best. And I like B movies! So glad Jeff brought up the green screen. It had our household literally laughing out loud. Add in some creature physical effects that would be right at home in the Buffy tv show, and you are in the ballpark. I’d say if you want to watch two attractive people interact with what I agree is good chemistry, don’t mind keeping your thumb on the FF button for some of the nonsensical, unnecessary, but constantly interrupting, and pace-killing exposition, and perhaps have access to edibles, this movie could be a good time. In the end, it is impressive that they made a movie. It did give me a lot of unintended laughs, had a couple nice romcom moments, and showed these actors can do this kind of material very well.

BENJAMIN SHULTZ

Somehow a lot of people think that but it’s actually not true.

Mark P

Personally I’ve rarely been so thoroughly bored watching a movie. It was D.O.A. on screen. Flat as a pancake

Roshar Space Fleet

They are very lucky Dan Trachtenberg makes great movies. Imagine them reviewing his movies if he did sharknado 5

Roshar Space Fleet

Dev put it as his #1 movie of 2021, 😂. I mean it was fun but come on lol

I like drawing pigeons

Gentle, non-confrontational suggestion: you guys should crowdsource a few weekly plug jokes from Patrons.

Wensi Zhou

The only three films I've seen in the last three months I've liked were Anora, Nosferatu and Nezha 2. I've given up on the MCU since Thor 4....

Reynaldo K. Cruz

The “new technology” argument for a reboot to me also applies to “The Last Starfighter.”

Reynaldo K. Cruz

Can’t wait to see it!

April Reid

Unfortunately there is a do the right thing sequel. Spike brings back Mookie and Tina as the parents of Anthony Ramos’ Mars Blackmon in the second very clunky season of She’s Gotta Have it on Netflix.

mepotts

Yay! “titular gorge”

April Reid

Matrix Resurrections is great though

Kess Broekman-Dattner

Set Knight Rider in a cyberpunk future. Make the 80s tech and character the hook and challenge. Underpin it with technophobic messaging about the advancements of AI and the importance of human to human/human to machine relationships, as well as the moral dilemma of using fossil fuels in order to fight crime/be a better person. Boom

Griffin Herdegen

Jeff might be the first person to have a single good word to say about the disaster that is Kinda Pregnant

Roshar Space Fleet

Mandela Effect people are so bad at bar trivia.

Brian Deaton

A few months ago I asked the guys what was the worst piece of media given a positive review by the other hosts. I said that for Jeff it was Netflix Dracula, for Devindra it was Matrix Resurrections, and I didn’t have one for David. Now I do (The Gorge).
