Unprofessional, unsolicited and unwanted opinions from Dan and Tony as they watch movies and tell you what’s wrong with them.

What happens when a big-budget blockbuster has all the right ingredients but still fails to fully satisfy? That's the puzzle at the heart of our deep dive into 2010's Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, a film that cost hundreds of millions to make but couldn't capture the magic of its video game source material.
The conversation kicks off with an examination of Jake Gyllenhaal's bewildering accent and lack of charisma as the titular prince – a critical misstep that creates a void at the center of this action-adventure. "It's the worst accent of any leading man in a movie," we conclude, comparing his performance unfavorably to the natural charm of Brendan Fraser in The Mummy or the cast of Pirates of the Caribbean.
The film's salvation arrives about 40 minutes in with Alfred Molina's scene-stealing performance as a tax-evading ostrich racer. His character breathes life into a previously lifeless movie, demonstrating exactly what was missing from the start: humor, heart, and genuine entertainment value. We discuss how supporting characters often make or break these big adventure films, and how Prince of Persia failed to understand this crucial dynamic.
We also break down the disappointing direction choices that plague the action sequences – the choppy editing and shaky camerawork that obscure rather than showcase the parkour stunts that made the video games so special. For a franchise known for fluid movement and graceful acrobatics, the film's inability to properly capture these elements represents a fundamental misunderstanding of its appeal.
Join us for this entertaining analysis of blockbuster filmmaking gone awry, and why some adventure films become beloved classics while others remain forgotten curiosities. And don't forget to tune in next week for our take on "The Gorge" starring Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy!

In "The Electric State," Netflix's visually stunning but narratively bewildering $300 million sci-fi adventure, we're transported to an alternate 1990s America recovering from a robot war that never quite makes sense. What begins as a promising exploration of technology addiction and human-robot relations quickly devolves into a confusing rescue mission with emotional stakes that never land.
The Russo Brothers clearly poured resources into creating a visually distinctive world based on Simon Stålenhag's artwork, but neglected to fill this beautiful shell with meaningful substance. Millie Bobby Brown portrays Michelle, a young woman searching for her brother in this post-war landscape, yet her performance lacks the emotional range needed to carry such a high-concept story. Chris Pratt as her reluctant companion Keats similarly struggles to bring depth to his character, with their on-screen chemistry noticeably absent throughout.
What makes "The Electric State" particularly frustrating is its squandered potential. The premise—humans splitting their consciousness between robot bodies and virtual fantasies—raises fascinating questions about identity, addiction, and reality that remain largely unexplored. Instead, we're treated to a third act that collapses under its own illogic, culminating in an ending that contradicts the very world the film has established. The robot characters, ironically, demonstrate more personality than most of their human counterparts.
For all its flaws, the film does deliver impressive visual spectacle and some standout voice performances from its supporting cast. However, these elements only highlight what might have been had the same care been applied to the screenplay. "The Electric State" ultimately stands as a cautionary tale about prioritizing aesthetics over substance—a beautiful but hollow experience that, like its virtual reality users, remains disconnected from anything meaningful.

Step into the shadowy world of "Pathfinder," Marcus Nispel's forgotten 2007 action film that stands as a fascinating study in missed opportunities. Released in the same week as Zack Snyder's "300" with a comparable budget, this Karl Urban-starring vehicle attempted similar visual flair but stumbled where "300" soared.
The premise holds genuine intrigue: a Viking child, abandoned and raised by Native Americans in 800 AD North America, must later defend his adoptive people when his bloodthirsty biological culture returns to pillage and destroy. It's a setup ripe with potential for exploring identity, belonging, and choosing one's own path—yet "Pathfinder" reduces these rich themes to a straightforward revenge tale drowning in murky cinematography.
Throughout our discussion, we unpack the film's fundamental flaws: characters without names or development, confusing action sequences where you can barely distinguish one Viking from another, and logical inconsistencies that break immersion. The Viking villains pursue destruction for destruction's sake, forgoing more historically accurate and compelling motivations like resource acquisition or taking slaves. Even the special edition's reportedly excised sex scene becomes a curious footnote in a film already struggling with basic storytelling coherence.
What makes "Pathfinder" particularly fascinating is comparing it to Nispel's later work on "Conan the Barbarian," revealing a director who seemed to learn some lessons while repeating others. For fans of Karl Urban, we recommend skipping this misfire and heading straight to "Dredd" for a masterclass in how to use the actor's talents effectively. Whether you're a student of film looking to understand what makes a movie work (by examining one that doesn't) or simply curious about this forgotten chapter in action cinema history, our deep dive into "Pathfinder" offers both entertainment and insight into how even promising concepts can lose their way in execution.

Remember those childhood days of panning for gold at Knott's Berry Farm? We do, and it sets the stage for our throwback review of the 2013 sci-fi flick "Oblivion," featuring Tom Cruise. Does Cruise's undeniable charisma salvage a film riddled with clichés and predictability? We banter back and forth, questioning the originality—or lack thereof—of the movie as it borrows liberally from other sci-fi tales without adding fresh twists. Plus, our new segment "Themes" wonders aloud if the film genuinely probes meaningful concepts or merely plays in the kiddie pool of profundity.
Tom Cruise's dedication to his craft shines through even in a script that's less than stellar. His commitment is a beacon, transforming what could've been a forgettable movie into something bearable, albeit not groundbreaking. We tackle the evolution of CGI, comparing past and modern techniques, and marvel at the film's visual grandeur, wishing its script had the same level of detail. The film's amazing visuals juxtapose with a narrative tapestry of familiar tropes, leaving us to ponder how it could have been elevated with a more nuanced story.
Our conversation meanders through the movie's narrative quirks and character dynamics, peppered with humor as we tackle the absurdity of clones, drones, and dystopian themes. From the peculiar storyline of superfluous gum-in-machine tropes to the absurdity of drones programmed to destroy library books, we engage in a light-hearted exploration of Hollywood's storytelling choices. Wrapping up, we nostalgically compare past cinematic experiences with today's content, laughing through plot inconsistencies and dreaming of what could have been. Join us for this blend of analysis, banter, and a touch of nostalgia.

What happens when a notorious villain tries to play the hero? The answer might leave you scratching your head as we untangle the cinematic web of "Kraven the Hunter." Imagine a film with all the ambition of "John Wick" but none of the coherence or thrill—yep, that's Kraven. We kick off with a side-splitting chat about voice impersonations before launching into our critique of this ambitious yet flawed film. Spoiler alert: CGI doesn't always cut it, especially when practical stunts could have put some much-needed bite into this toothless tale.
Our conversation takes a detour into the strange world where wildebeests have a "Hakuna Matata" moment in Russia and robots drop candy like it's hot at the movie theater. We also couldn't resist poking fun at a comic book character named Tony, a.k.a. the Foreigner, whose hypnotic abilities left us both baffled and amused. Along the way, we sprinkle in our excitement for upcoming films like "Ballerina" with Ana de Armas and the next "Knives Out" installment, which we hope won't leave us craving more like Kraven did.
Finally, we dissect the chaos of mismatched characters and plot holes big enough to trap a rhino—literally. From a forgettable family dynamic led by Russell Crowe to the surreal transformation of a character into the Chameleon, the absurdities keep piling up. As we wrap up our thoughts on this peculiar entry into the cinematic universe, we ponder how Kraven's legacy could have been salvaged with a touch more humor, chemistry, and a dash less CGI. So, if you're ready for a wild ride through the jungle of Kraven's missteps, grab your popcorn and join us for this candid and entertaining exploration.

There's also an exciting detour into a fictional movie narrative, complete with treehouses and mysterious time capsules. Through playful banter and a touch of comedic genius, we explore character backstories, such as Frank's battle with grief, and sprinkle in some hilariously relatable suburban oddities, like clogged drains and household plumbing fiascos.

Can a Christmas movie truly capture the spirit of the season without a hint of originality? That's the question we're asking as we unravel our mixed emotions about "Red One," the festive film that left us scratching our heads. We pit it against holiday heavyweights like "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" and "Die Hard," diving into the nostalgia that shapes our love for Christmas classics. As we sift through the film's recycled Marvel-esque ideas, we ponder how it fares as a holiday flick versus a superhero adventure, and question if familiar tropes overshadow its potential to spark genuine festive cheer.
Picture this: Chris Evans as a magically gifted character named Jack, caught in a whirlwind of candy theft and snowy antics. We explore the movie's over-the-top symbolism and humor, wondering if it's meant for kids or a more mature audience. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's portrayal as a Santa-like bodyguard further adds to our critique, as we muse over his acting choices and the missed comedic gems from John Rudnitsky and Lucy Liu. Our journey through this whimsical film takes a detour into absurdity with Eddie Murphy's mythical Christmas creatures, unleashing a cascade of nonsensical plot twists and magical mayhem.
Ever wondered what happens when Santa's sleigh gets a high-tech makeover? Join us as we dissect the film's curious take on Santa's world, complete with towering reindeer and a North Pole that feels more like a bustling metropolis than a winter wonderland. From Santa-Satan mix-ups to Krampus snow globe antics, we question the logic of these festive narratives while reminiscing about quirky holiday folklore. Amidst the chaos, we find joy in the simpler delights these films offer young viewers, all while gearing up for our next episode's cinematic escapades. Happy holidays, and don't forget to bring your snow globe!

Ever wondered what happens when the Joker tries to sing a courtroom ballad? We tackle this and more as we dissect "Joker: Folie à Deux," grappling with the movie's audacious blend of courtroom drama and musical elements. While our feelings are mixed about the film's narrative execution, we find ourselves pondering Lady Gaga's standout performance as Harley, whose presence demands attention despite limited character development. Our discussion opens up new narrative possibilities, imagining a plot where Harley's influence on Arthur could change the game entirely.
The character dynamics are a hot topic, especially when it comes to Arthur's transformation, or lack thereof, into the Joker. We express our frustration with the film's failure to comment meaningfully on societal issues, leaving us yearning for deeper storytelling. But it's not all critique; we laugh about the quirky portrayal of awkward prison love scenes and consider how a reversed Harley-Joker dynamic could make for a much more intriguing storyline. As we explore these themes, we find ourselves questioning the film's missed opportunities and the potential richness of these iconic characters.
In lighter news, we chat about the upcoming Hallmark reality series and muse on the rapid production of feel-good films like "Happy Howlidays." Creative endeavors aren't limited to the screen, as we share excitement over Alex Melton's musical YouTube series and nostalgic reflections on performances in "Black Doves." As we wrap things up, we leave you with a playful thought about eternal friendship, promising more laughter and camaraderie in the episodes to come. Don't miss out on this blend of humor, critique, and cinematic analysis that'll have you both entertained and thoughtful.

What do a Christmas werewolf film and a PG-13 family comedy have in common? They both challenge our perception of traditional holiday movies and leave us with a head-scratching blend of humor and horror. In this episode, we unpack the strange timing of a werewolf film's December release and imagine the hilarity of a festive lycanthrope tale. We then confront the perplexing narrative of the Farrelly brothers' "Dear Santa," where Jack Black's devilish charm collides with a dyslexic boy's Satan-summoning error. The film's bizarre plot twists—ranging from arm wrestling with Beelzebub to the peculiar Swedish Fish product placements—leave us questioning the filmmakers' comedic intent and their audience's amusement.
Our conversation takes a turn as we critique the film's mishandling of profound themes like grief. Parents' emotional arcs are abruptly dismissed, and the soundtrack, which usually shines in Jack Black's projects, disappoints with its lack of coherence. We chuckle and groan over an ill-conceived subplot about a missing angel tree topper and the unrealistic portrayal of lying without consequence. The cross-eyed narrative even dares to include Post Malone playing beer pong with a kid—a misguided attempt at humor that skews the film's demographic even further.
Amongst this chaos, Keegan-Michael Key stands out, proving that a handful of nuts and his improvisational prowess can inject life into even the flattest scenes. We discuss how humor can sometimes be uncomfortable and how it can resonate emotionally, albeit awkwardly, with the audience. As we wrap up, we express our appreciation for Jack Black's commitment, despite this misadventure, and tease future explorations of more promising cinematic ventures like "Alien: Romulus" and the quirky Coen Brothers’ "The Hudsucker Proxy." Join us for this wild ride as we dissect the bizarre blend of holiday cheer, comedy, and questionable narrative choices.

Remember the time when Madonna was more than just a pop icon and Sean Penn was her real-life partner in crime? Join us on a rollicking journey back to the 80s as we unpack the notorious film "Shanghai Surprise," a movie that leaves us surprised for all the wrong reasons. From explosive opium smuggling scenes to bizarre mothball twists, this movie promises an unexpected ride. We chuckle through the pitfalls of this peculiar narrative and share our bewilderment at how George Harrison's music ended up amidst this chaotic plot. Unravel the layers of this mess with us, as we attempt to make sense of the chaotic storylines and oddball characters like Willie and Crunk.
Our playful banter continues as we tackle Sean Penn and Madonna’s on-screen chemistry—or lack thereof—while wandering through the film’s peculiar romantic entanglements. Was it a screwball comedy or a noir mixed with misplaced sound effects and stereotypes? You'll hear us scratching our heads at Madonna’s wardrobe changes and a scene with ceramic hands that will have you asking, "Who thought this was a good idea?" As if that wasn’t puzzling enough, we also hop on a nostalgic train to the days of Black Friday frenzy, juxtaposing the film's unpredictable antics with our own holiday shopping memories.
And just when you think the madness ends, we toy with the quirks of memory and how it plays into gaslighting in relationships. Our tales of forgetfulness blend humor with reality, inviting listeners to connect with our shared experiences. As we wrap up with thoughts on the upcoming Minecraft movie starring the ever-entertaining Jack Black, we promise a blend of chaos, laughter, and 80s nostalgia that will leave you both entertained and perplexed. Let’s just say, this episode is a wild ride from start to finish, much like the movie itself.

What do you get when you mix a Scottish honeymoon burglary, a Nintendo DS heist, and Chris Pine's directorial ambitions? A rollercoaster episode of "Hey Watch It with Dan and Tony!" We kick off with Dan's personal tale of a honeymoon gone awry in the scenic lands of Scotland, leading us into a chat about Chris Pine's debut, "Poolman." Critics may have thrown shade, but we stir the pot by suggesting it might just outshine the Coen Brothers' classics, even the sacred cow, "The Big Lebowski" (which we might call overrated).
From Pine to Coen, our discussion zigzags through the beloved filmography of Fargo's creators. Tony can't help but throw some shade on "Fargo" itself—blame those Minnesotan roots! We exchange blows over our favorites, from the hilarity of "Burn After Reading" to the misfires like "Hail Caesar." Amidst this cinematic battlefield, "Poolman" emerges as a breath of fresh air, free from cynicism, much like the joyous "Fired Up." We can't help but celebrate those films that whisk us away from life's daily grind.
As we cruise through L.A.'s filmmaking maze, we scrutinize the narrative potholes in "Poolman," from perplexing plot twists to character motivations that take a wrong turn. But fear not, as we lighten the mood with quirky password anxieties and a nod to Melissa McCarthy's comedic ventures. It's a smorgasbord of film critique, personal tidbits, and future episode sneak peeks—all wrapped up in our usual banter. So grab your metaphorical popcorn and join us for another wild ride!

Ever tried a Kool-Aid pickle? We kick off this unexpectedly wild ride with some strange culinary adventures that will tickle your taste buds and your funny bone. Join us as we wade through the colorful waters of bizarre food trends, before diving into a lively debate: are movies still the reigning American art form, or have video games stolen the spotlight? Our personal tales of creating a quirky Mr. Toast app, marked by a year of creativity and financial hiccups, add a nostalgic touch to our chat about passion projects and their unpredictable journeys.
Shifting gears, we get caught up in the peculiar world of M. Night Shyamalan's latest brain-bender, "Trap." With Josh Hartnett in the spotlight, we unravel a film that mixes serial killers with concert chaos, leaving us scratching our heads at its odd twists and turns. From TV throwbacks with "Head of the Class" to dissecting the movie’s quirks—like Shyamalan’s daughter rocking the stage as Lady Raven—we critique its narrative puzzles and ponder if the lack of a typical twist is the twist itself. Our analysis keeps the conversation rolling, questioning everything from the killer's tactics to the eyebrow-raising role of social media.
As the episode winds down, we lighten the mood with some holiday cheer and a touch of nostalgia. Picture a sitcom set in a Christmas store or get hyped for "Finding Mr. Christmas"—a reality show that’s as heartwarming as a holiday movie. Sprinkled with a dash of laughter, our chatter about past cinematic gems like "Dungeons and Dragons" and a thrilling Kim Basinger classic keeps the spirit of entertainment alive. Whether it's pondering Josh Hartnett's character arc or teasing our upcoming episode on "Pool Boy," we promise more humor and intriguing discussions are on the horizon.

Ever wondered what might happen if an alderman accidentally finds himself in the race for the presidency? On this episode of "Hate Watching with Dan and Tony," we tackle that very scenario as Chris Rock hilariously navigates the political landscape in "Head of State." We kick things off with a bold statement: Bernie Mac steals the show, and we're not even mad about it. Our colorful commentary comes packed with laughs, as we dissect the film’s premise, debating its resemblance to Eddie Murphy's "Distinguished Gentleman" and celebrating the comedic genius of Mac despite his limited screen time.
We're not just here to praise Bernie Mac, though. The film's clunky moments and awkward casting choices, like Robin Givens as Rock's ex-girlfriend, give us plenty to chew on. We poke fun at the movie's love subplot and those bizarre rap interludes that try to bridge the narrative gaps but fall short. There's a playful back-and-forth comparing Chris Rock's comedic chops to Eddie Murphy's, and musings on how “Head of State” attempts to blend satire with slapstick, sometimes missing the mark. Yet, we can't deny the film's entertaining value, especially with memorable scenes like the electric slide and a demo CD joke that still tickles our funny bone.
And just when you think we’re done, we throw a curveball with broader themes of politics and humor. Think about a presidential candidate hopping on a bus without a care in the world. We share our own tales of glancing at Target Tuesdays and the nostalgic dynamics of familial loyalty. As we wrap things up, there's chatter about the show "Detroiters" and a teaser for M. Night Shyamalan's upcoming flick, "Trap." Join us for this rollicking ride through political comedy, where nothing is off the table, and everything is ripe for a laugh.

What if living in dorms until the age of 16 and undergoing surgery to become "pretty" was the societal norm? Join us as we humorously unravel the perplexing world of "Uglies," the movie adaptation of the beloved book series. With a dystopian society fueled by poppy flowers and devoid of parents, our critique pinpoints the peculiarities of this bizarre universe. We draw parallels with "The Hunger Games," questioning the execution of the film's plot and its inexplicable elements, all while laughing along the way.
As we navigate through the story, we challenge the logic behind the brain-altering processes aimed at compliance and attractiveness, scrutinizing Dr. Cable's seemingly unfathomable motivations. With witty banter, we expose the irony of the characters looking less appealing after their transformation and the absurdity of beauty-centric societal norms. Our exploration doesn't stop there, as we also delve into unrelated but entertaining topics like our recent obsession with Nintendo's Pokemon TCG Pocket and the comedic intrigue of Chris Rock's "Head of State."
Amidst our roller-coaster discussion, we share whimsical critiques of movie tropes, such as a blood pact between friends and a far-fetched thriller involving a paralyzed woman communicating by blinking. Whether it's imagining fantastical hoverboard adventures or poking fun at storyline absurdities, our episode promises a lively, thought-provoking ride. Packed with laughs and personal anecdotes, this episode offers a playful yet critical examination of the storytelling choices in "Uglies" and beyond.

What happens when a film's chaotic AI plot leaves us more bemused than entertained? Join us as we humorously dissect the Blumhouse movie "Afraid," pondering whether a title like "Slightly Cautious AI" might have been more fitting. With an AI that seems more interested in wreaking havoc than creating suspense, we muse about missed opportunities for a coherent narrative, all while relishing in the absurdity of the film's awkward character interactions and isolated subplots.
Ever wondered about the legal and ethical implications of AI in our daily lives? Our conversation veers into unexpected territories as we explore the growing role of AI, from content creation to a familial lawsuit over AI-assisted homework. The debate heats up with questions about the ownership of AI-generated content, touching on everything from music to personal writing skills. Personal anecdotes and a touch of humor guide us through the increasingly blurred lines between creativity, education, and technology.
In a world where privacy feels more like a myth than a reality, we discuss the chilling parallels between fiction and real life, touching on themes of surveillance and manipulation in both media and family dynamics. Amidst quirky family banter and workplace oddities, we question reality versus perception in a tech-influenced world. Wrapping up with reflections on romance novels, teenage drama, and the ever-entertaining world of scary movie reviews, we promise a fun ride filled with laughter, thought-provoking debate, and perhaps a bit of nostalgia for those awkward AI encounters.

Ever found yourself squinting at a screen, not because you need glasses, but because the movie is just that dimly lit? That's exactly where we found ourselves with the "Slender Man" movie, a film that left us fumbling with our remote to adjust the brightness just to see if there was anything worth watching. We've all heard of Slender Man, but how did a character with such a nonsensical origin become an internet horror icon? Join us as we navigate the murky waters of this film's lackluster attempt at horror, and ponder what actually makes a story spine-chilling.
Remember the first time you watched "Halloween" or "Friday the 13th"? We're diving back into those horror classics, and let's just say it was a revelation compared to our "Slender Man" struggle. We even took a mid-movie detour to "Below Deck" just to cleanse the palate. Our conversation meanders through the highs and lows of horror cinema, from appreciating the tension-building genius of "Halloween" to chuckling over the quirky narrative of "Mikey." We also spare a thought for talented actresses like Joey King, musing over how even her skills couldn't save this sinking ship.
But the horror doesn't stop there. We've got ghost-hunting escapades planned, a hopeful future as YouTube stars, and a hilarious take on sneeze etiquette that you won't want to miss. We round off the episode with some light-hearted banter on dating dynamics, and a teaser for our next critique featuring a familiar face from "Harold and Kumar" and "Star Trek." Whether it's puzzling over confusing character names or laughing at bizarre plot decisions, we promise you an episode full of humor, horror, and a sprinkle of the supernatural.

Could a child really be a serial killer? In this spine-tingling episode, we grapple with that chilling question as we unravel the twisted tale of "Mikey," a 1992 thriller that sends shivers down our spines. We kick things off with a laugh over a webcam mishap and a laughable scheduling mix-up that mistakenly featured a non-horror movie during Halloween. Determined to keep the thrills alive, we extend our horror theme into November, dissecting Mikey's unsettling antics and comparing them with other notorious bad-seed flicks like "The Good Son."
Nostalgia takes center stage as we wander through our pasts, reminiscing about the '90s horror films that packed more fun than fright. Movies like "I Know What You Did Last Summer" offered campy thrills, but today's darker horrors, like "Talk to Me," leave us more disturbed than entertained. We share our love for films that master the blend of scares and laughs, praising hidden gems like "Barbarian" and "The Babysitter" that deliver both chills and chuckles. Along the way, we share childhood memories of Goosebumps books and the quirky reward systems that made school days a little more bizarre.
Our conversation takes a thrilling turn as we explore fears of water and heights, spurred by personal stories of near-drowning and daring rescues. We challenge the ethics of real versus artificial skeletons, delve into the absurdities of childhood games, and recount a suspenseful tale of mouth-to-mouth resuscitation gone awry. To wrap things up, we muse on Creepypasta's influence in horror films, celebrating the potential for fresh and unique storytelling in niche content. Join us for a wild ride through nostalgia, fear, and the darker side of childhood memories.

Remember that time we got into a heated debate about Capicola ham and couldn't stop laughing? Well, buckle up because Purple Dan and Tie Dye Tony are back with another riotous review, this time taking on "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire" (2024). We kick off with some good-natured ribbing about our aging looks and quirky personalities, setting the stage for our take on a film that, quite frankly, left us colder than its title suggests. We dissect why this supposed "Frozen Empire" neither chills nor thrills, poking fun at its overcrowded ensemble of characters and bewildering plot choices. And no worries, the sheer number of subpar new releases ensures we won't be running out of material anytime soon!
Ever wondered why some sequels just can't recapture the magic of the originals? Well, you're in for a treat as we lament the lack of engaging characters and humor in the latest Ghostbusters flick. Kumail Nanjiani's character may offer a fleeting moment of fun, but the thin storyline and underutilized stars like Finn Wolfhard leave us yearning for the good old days of Bill Murray's quick wit. Speaking of Murray, even his comedic genius couldn't salvage a script that seems as lost as the ghosts it aims to bust. We also analyze a particularly baffling scene, comparing it to the second Ghostbusters film, and critiquing the new team's lack of distinct skills and roles.
The plot thickens—but not in a good way—as we unravel the film's convoluted twists and head-scratching character motivations. From Phoebe's inexplicable decisions to Garak's murky control over the team, we explore the myriad ways the narrative stumbles. Highlights include our take on the fire master showdown and the absurd ghostly horn retrieval, complete with plenty of Purple Dan and Tie Dye Tony's signature wit. The climactic team's effort, or lack thereof, sparks a discussion on the flawed logic and ineffective strategies that plague the film. Tune in for a comedic yet incisive critique of "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire," where we leave no proton pack unturned!

Have you ever watched a movie so perplexing that you just had to talk about it? That's exactly what happened with Jerry Seinfeld's "Unfrosted," and we're serving up a full breakdown with a side of sarcasm. Join us, Dan and Tony, as we dissect the film's underbaked humor and the curious case of historical mascots in shoddy costumes. It's a wild ride through comedic miscues and a script that needed more time in the oven, but we promise you'll come away with more than a half-toasted understanding of where this pastry-themed film went awry.
Ever wondered how a ravioli could survive in an aquarium or why a kid might pack a toaster during a runaway attempt? We tackle these surreal moments with a blend of amusement and critique. Our conversation snacks on the oddities of the narrative, the clunky integration of historical references, and a cereal award show that was more cringe than crunch. With guest appearances by Amy Schumer and Jim Gaffigan, we chew through performances and ponder the comedic potential of space race products that somehow didn't translate into out-of-this-world laughter.
To top off our episode, we sink our teeth into the satirical layers of "Unfrosted," measuring the sprinkle of humor against the dough of historical context. We debate whether Rice Krispie Treats demand a chocolate topping while reflecting on how a seemingly straightforward story of Pop-Tarts got so crumbly. From McCarthy's comedic flickers to Marsden's solid turn, we're unpacking it all—no toasting necessary. So, grab a snack and tune in for our frosted analysis; it's a conversation that's sure to pop.

Buckle up, as we, your audacious hosts Dan and Tony, peel back the layers of cinematic chaos in "A Good Day to Die Hard." We're not just here to poke fun at the excessive shaky cam or the monochromatic misery that plagues this film; we're dissecting the very core of what makes—or in this case, breaks—a Die Hard experience.
Strap in for an odyssey through Hollywood's questionable choices, as we traverse the evolution of John McClane from his literary origins to the big screen icon we've come to love (and sometimes sigh at). A carrot-wielding dancer turned violent thug? A courtroom hitman witness? We're unpacking these bizarre moments with the same gusto we reserve for a fresh bowl of popcorn. And don't worry, we're not letting the industry off the hook for the 2012-2015 blockbuster blues—we're calling out every facepalm-worthy moment along the way.
As the curtain falls on this action-packed critique, we shift gears and reflect on the lighter side of entertainment. From the anticipated curiosity of Jerry Seinfeld's "Pop-Tarts" project to the undying charm of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," we cover the landscape of comedy with the same fervor we reserve for taking down Hollywood's biggest blunders. Join us for an episode that promises as many laughs as it does facepalms—this is "Hey, Watch It with Dan and Tony," where no film is safe from our relentless review.

Ever found yourself laughing at a farmer's market mix-up one moment and then passionately debating the tactical blunders of action-packed blockbusters the next? Well, that's precisely where Tony and I landed in our latest gabfest, taking you from chuckles to critiques as we dissect the newest Hollywood hits and misses. We give you the lowdown on everything from "Rebel Moon 2" to the emotional depth of classic characters, all while weaving in our personal misadventures and the peculiarities of movie critique podcasts.
Imagine a world where slow motion in battle scenes is more yawn-inducing than awe-inspiring, and where character arcs are as flat as a day-old soda. That's the landscape Tony and I traverse, picking apart character development—or the lack thereof—in the latest action flicks. Weighing the merits of Zach Snyder's "Rebel Moon 2" against the iconic charm of "Star Wars," we don't shy away from pointing out the missteps in storytelling that leave us craving more Han Solo and less humdrum heroes. Plus, we jump into a dialogue on warfare portrayal in films that's as fiery as an on-screen explosion, debating the impact of R-rated cuts and the authenticity of battle strategies.
Before you think it's all doom and gloom, join us as we reflect on the oddities and plot holes that somehow keep us hooked, even when logic takes a backseat to intergalactic travel logistics and sentient engines. We also toss a bone to sports fans, sharing our heated anticipation for the NBA playoffs and the NFL draft, and then cap things off with a look back at the Hollywood films of 2013. Was it truly the worst year for movies, or are we just romancing the bomb? Tune in, share your thoughts, and buckle up for a ride that's as raucous as it is insightful—no green screens necessary.

Prepare for an epic clash of opinions as Dan and I tackle the cinematic spectacle that is "47 Ronin," with none other than Keanu Reeves leading the charge. This isn't your typical samurai tale; it's a whirlwind of fantasy, questionable character choices, and a wild Dogecoin gamble that's almost as fantastical as the film itself. You won't want to miss the fireworks as we go head-to-head over the film's rewatchability, the enchanting yet underutilized witch, and the mishandling of a hefty Netflix budget.
Venture with us into the murky waters of "47 Ronin's" often bewildering narrative choices, where samurai and sorcery collide with mixed results. The emotional weight of classics like "Gladiator" hangs over our discussion as we consider what elements could've bolstered this film's storyline. We don't hold back, pondering the cultural authenticity versus Hollywood glitz and the stumbles in engaging international audiences. Plus, we've got a full roster of other screen gems and blunders to dissect, from the reality-warping "Gogglebox" to the eerie authenticity of "Baby Reindeer."
Rounding out our cinematic rollercoaster ride, we sift through the confusion and entertainment that "47 Ronin" provides, questioning Tengu Forest's narrative oddities and the climax's chaotic escape. And for the aesthetically driven, we share thoughts on "Rebel Moon's" visual appeal despite its narrative shortcomings. So, whether you're here for the critique, the comedy, or simply to hear Dan and I spar over the merits of on-screen sorcery, you're in for a treat. Just press play and join the debate that's as sharp as a samurai's blade and as unpredictable as a witch's spell.

Ever wonder if a head-scratching film can actually be a prequel without telling you? This week, Dan and Tony tackle the circuitous storytelling of "In a Dark Place"—yes, that adaptation of "A Turn of the Screw"—and wrestle with a climax that's more bewildering than a plot twist in a labyrinth. We're peering through the lens of both laughter and critique, dissecting the odd dynamics between characters, the seemingly gratuitous scenes, and the perplexing sexual undertones that leave us as befuddled as a pair of detectives at a ghost convention.
Hold onto your popcorn, because our cinematic safari doesn't stop there. We're diving into the murky waters of "The Turning," where the sudden pivot to religious symbolism in the film's final moments leaves us gasping for air—metaphorically speaking. From improvised dialogue that feels like a game of narrative Mad Libs, to character decisions that defy logic, we keep the banter buoyant as we navigate the stormy seas of this adaptation's attempt at provocative storytelling. And if you think ghostly encounters with dolls and masked figures are where the weirdness ends, think again.
It's a whirlwind of wonky jokes and untapped drumming potential that might just have you questioning the very fabric of cinematic comedy. So join Tony and me as we muse on everything from the oddities of art therapy in film to the strange allure of schoolyard dynamics—all while maintaining a healthy dose of skepticism about whether our beloved Finn Wolfhard could have been the saving grace of a haunted Bly Manor. Grab a seat and let's get reel about movies!

Embark on a cinematic journey with Dan and Tony as we unravel the spectral tale of "The Turning," where confusion reigns supreme and ghostly encounters challenge the protagonist's grip on reality. As we dissect this adaptation entangled in the same web as Mike Flanagan's "The Haunting of Bly Manor," we're left scratching our heads at the plot twists and character dynamics that seem to play a game of flashlight tag with our understanding. From questionable '90s music choices to the deeper meanings behind tattoos and empty gumball machines, join us for a dissection of a film that teeters on the edge of the supernatural and the sanity of its characters.
Lean in and listen closely as we hold nothing back, critiquing the film's attempt to blur lines that perhaps shouldn't have been drawn in the first place. Our analysis is rife with the enigmatic aroma of old polaroids, the whisperings of ghostly children, and a lake with secrets as murky as its waters. As we ponder the unsettling advances of one character and the mysterious pasts of others, the haunted house backdrop serves as the perfect canvas for our spirited dialogue. And who could forget the classic "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" references as we navigate the cobwebbed corridors of haunted houses and debate the virtues of a savior in this eerie maelstrom?
Wrapping up with a bout of laughter and some sage advice from a UCB comedian on the art of universal humor, we tackle the significance behind every misplaced spider and disembodied hand. The episode closes on the chilling notes of a ghostly reenactment and a protagonist teetering on the brink of madness.

Well, buckle up as Dan and Tony, your guides in the realm of regrettable comedies, tear into "Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star" with the kind of fervor reserved for fruitcake at a bake sale. Our episode isn't just about the cringe-inducing antics of a film that can't decide if it's a comedy or a gross-out festival; it's a laughter-laden voyage through the mishaps of a potential laugh riot that somehow forgot to pack the punchlines. With a sprinkling of personal tales, we tiptoe around the landmines of lackluster humor and baffling character choices that left us more confused than amused.
"Destined for Greatness?" Hardly. As we step into the Hollywood dreamscape with Bucky and his bewildering rise to adult film fame, we can't help but chuckle at the absurdity of it all. From the peculiar bee-in-shorts debacle to the Midwestern accent that chews the scenery harder than a locust swarm, we navigate the film's attempts at comedy that miss the mark by a country mile. Amidst the side-splitting banter, we also ponder what this film could have been with a bit more narrative polish and character depth – a true Cinderella story for the adult industry, perhaps?
As we wrap up our cinematic roast with a generous helping of sage recommendations, we're not just about the belly laughs; we're here to steer you toward the promised land of entertainment. Find out why we're applauding the latest season of "Taskmaster," which books are keeping us hooked, and why you might want to give "Argyle" a chance despite its mixed reviews.

Prepare to be astonished as we, your intrepid hosts Dan and Tony, tear into "Madame Web" a superhero fiasco that plummeted from high expectations into the depths of cinematic despair. We're not holding back—even Dakota Johnson's furrowed brow couldn't mask the confusion of her character's rage or save the tangled mess of a plot that left us more bewildered than a spider after a dust buster encounter. Strap in for a rollicking review where we dissect questionable fight choreography, mystifying CPR techniques, and a soundtrack that'll have you checking your calendar to make sure we're still in the 21st century.
This episode isn't all doom and gloom; we've got our fair share of head-scratching laughs as we navigate peculiar plot twists that would leave even M. Night Shyamalan flummoxed. From venomous villainy to the enigmatic Spider People and their arboreal antics, we take shots at the ludicrous twists that had us questioning our own reality.

Fasten your seatbelts because we're tearing through the bewildering superpowers, comedic mishaps, and everything in between.

We draw comparisons to classic films and even share a laugh about the potential aspirations of a "paycheck movie." And, of course, what's a heroic tale without examining the villainous Christoph Waltz and the tone he sets right from his opening scene?

Strap in, folks, because we're peeling out on a cinematic odyssey that may just shift your perspective on those so-called "flops" rattling around Tinseltown. Remember "Monster Trucks"? That's where we're kicking things off, but brace yourself—it's not the takedown you'd expect. We're mounting a spirited defense of this underdog, digging into what it really takes to charm the ankle-biters of the world with Hollywood magic. And while we're talking about charm, let's not forget the behemoth of childhood nostalgia—"Free Willy." We'll unpack the art of the beloved and the berated, all while chuckling at the absurdity of a 26-year-old high school student.
As we cruise through this episode, we'll navigate the nooks and crannies of character development—or the lack thereof—in our latest movie watch. Characters like Barry Pepper's sheriff and our MacGyver-esque hero Trip might have you questioning their choices, but hey, that's part of the fun, right? And speaking of fun, what's a monster truck showdown without a good old-fashioned critique of physics-defying stunts, monster intelligence, and a hearty dose of destruction without consequences? Buckle up, because we're in for some laughs, head-scratching moments, and maybe a couple of "a-ha" revelations along the way.
Finally, we're revving up the conversation to include a taste of sinister surveillance, monster hunts, and the occasional philosophical musing. Plus, we'll toss some love to director Chris Wedge and his journey from "Monster Trucks" to "Ice Age," proving that in Hollywood, the road less traveled might just be the most rewarding. So, grab your headphones, and let's burn rubber through an episode that's as much a blast from the past as it is a pedal-to-the-metal thrill ride.

Could "The Legend of Tarzan" possibly swing any further from the tree of its classic source material? That's the vine Dan and Tony are shaking this week as we unpack the jungle of issues plaguing this cinematic misadventure. Join us for a romp through the tangled underbrush of this film's narrative missteps, from Tarzan's questionable life in England to those CGI critters that couldn't fool a two-year-old. Get ready for a ride that's part critique, part comedy, and entirely unfiltered.
Let's address the elephant in the room—or should we say the hippo? Tarzan's animal buddies might be on the CGI side of unbelievable, but nothing beats the head-scratching action sequences and a certain character's newfound hobby of rosary-slinging. And while we've got a soft spot for Samuel L. Jackson trying to save the day, even he can't rescue this film from its own narrative quicksand. So, what's more realistic: Tarzan's raw egg diet or Alexander Skarsgård's abs? We're placing our bets.
Wrapping up, we take a potshot at the film's attempt to be a sequel without giving us the original, like serving dessert before the main course. We'll leave you pondering whether Tarzan's jungle call should be a signal for help or just a sign to switch off the TV. Whether you're here for our take on the king of the jungle or simply crave a hearty laugh at the expense of Hollywood folly, we've got you covered!

With a mix of excitement and skepticism, we're gearing up for a deep dive into a movie that, much like "Highlander 2," promises a trove of bewildering decisions and cinematic conundrums.

Could the X-Men have stood a chance against the cinematic juggernaut that is "Avengers: Endgame"? We're closing out our series on the X-Men reboot with a fiery critique of "X-Men: Dark Phoenix," diving into its untimely release and how it may have contributed to its box office downfall. As we bid farewell to the franchise, we spare no detail in examining narrative mishaps, including Jean Grey's overshadowed journey and the stray shots from the source material that left fans puzzled. We even take a moment, between the serious analysis, to chuckle at some of the movie's more perplexing decisions and how certain scenes left us scratching our heads.
When you have characters as rich as Mystique, Cyclops, and Storm, it's a wonder how their depictions in "Dark Phoenix" veered so far from their comic roots. Tensions rise as we dissect the altered leadership dynamics and discuss Jennifer Lawrence's Mystique taking the reins in a way that left many core fans feeling disoriented. We also pull apart the thread of Professor X's repeated manipulations, questioning their impact on the film's faithfulness to the original narrative. Between poignant critiques, we can't help but let out a laugh over some of the film's bizarre moments that seem to defy both logic and gravity.

Brace yourselves, folks! We're rounding off our Twilight saga journey with a lively chat about the finale - Breaking Dawn Part 2. We question the logic behind stretching the thinnest book into two films, chuckle at the at-times questionable special effects, and puzzle over Alice's unchanging hairdo. We've coined a new term, 'two banger' to describe this phenomenon and Tony, who's not shying away from controversy, declares this the worst film in the series.
We've dissected every aspect of this movie - from its plot to its characters. With laughs galore, we discuss moments such as Dakota Fanning's character casually tossing a baby into a fire and the intriguing abilities of Rami Malik's character. The strange dynamics among characters also caught our attention - think Charlie and Bella's odd shift in relationship and the confounding love triangle involving Jacob and Renesmee (did I spell that right? I should have used subtitles...)
But the fun doesn't stop there. We've also explored the peculiar psychosexual politics of the film and pondered over Dakota Fanning's army and the unrealistic portrayal of teenage life. Our discussion even ventured into the realm of vampire-human reproduction (yes, you read that right) - a concept this film seems to embrace with gusto. Whether you're a die-hard Twilight fan or simply enjoy a hearty discussion about films, we promise you, this episode is a riot!

Are you ready for some Summer Hate Madness? We've got you covered! Join us, Dan and Tony, as we embark on a wild ride through the world of upcoming summer movies. We watched 30 trailers and organized them into a tournament style bracket, divided into categories like kids movies, horror movies, comedies, and high profile director movies. We'll give you our predictions for which films will be rated worst on Rotten Tomatoes, and at the end of the summer, we'll come back to compare notes in our wrap-up show. So, grab your popcorn and get ready for a movie showdown like no other!
We're not sure who's going to come out on top - or rather, the bottom - in the battle for the worst reviews this summer. Don't miss this episode's lively debate, and feel free to join in on the fun as we pick apart these summer flicks!

What happens when a teen sex comedy from the 80s tries to parody a classic horror movie like Carrie? Join us, Dan and Tony, as we analyze the bizarre and confusing cinematic experience that is Zapped! We'll explore the cult following that has emerged around the film, as well as delve into peculiar aspects such as Scott Baio's laboratory, an awkward prom night, and the movie's unsettling treatment of women.
Originally intended to be a spoof of Carrie, Zapped somehow ended up as a telekinesis-focused movie without any other connection to the iconic horror film. We'll discuss how the film changed direction after the success of Porky's, and how Heather Thomas' refusal to go nude led to the use of a body double. Throughout the episode, we'll analyze the unusual cast of characters, strange plot points, and the progression of telekinetic powers in this peculiar piece of 80s cinema.
As we reflect on the humor and oddities of Zapped, we can't help but question our choices and marvel at how far the world of teen sex comedies has come since. From the uncomfortable ventriloquist scene to the chaotic carnival fight, this movie is a rollercoaster of weirdness that has left us scratching our heads. So get ready to laugh, cringe, and be puzzled as we dive into the strange world of Zapped and try to make sense of it all.

Having watched a few of these live action Disney remakes, we are finding that they try to make them about "real" people and take all wonder out of the worlds. So this one follows a family and the trauma of the dad coming home from war missing an arm. A fine thing to make a movie about but not a good jumping off place for a DUMBO movie. Dumbo is just a plot device for this family to come together.
Oh yeah and no songs. And Tim Burton does a bunch of dumb circus stuff.....
But Dumbo is still cute.

This movie wishes that is was Con Air. But it doesnt have the charm or absurdity or fun. Instead just a bunch of random stuff happens and it all adds up to nothing.

Tony saw this movie as a child and many times dreamt that his life would be like this. Basically a little kid has the perfect time buying a bunch of stuff and falling in love with an adult woman. The only lessons he learns is that his only real friend is the chauffeur that he has hired. This movie wishes it was Ferris Bueller's Day off and it fails to get there.

This movie watched a bunch of 1980's movies and then built itself from their parts...badly. And the brain was very much abnormal. Ryan Reynolds is there playing the monster or maybe just playing himself getting ready to become the enjoyable mega-star that he is now.

This movie makes less sense the more you think about it. At least Christopher Nolan movies just seem stupider the more you think about them. This is worse. But sadly Chris Pine is amazing, Florence Pugh is amazing, the production design is great. But the writing, mystery, thrills, sexiness, turns just aren't here.

This one is a classic mess - is it a kids movie? is it for adults? Is it really made for no one and is not at all funny - Yep that it is.

After Twilight, they tried to follow the formula and make a bunch more movies that would appeal in the same way. The Mortal Instruments fails to do this. The only thing really good in here is Jamie Campbell Bower. He tries hard while the "star" girl is just bad.The villain is even worse, the betrayal by one in the midst is inconsequential and what they want is not at all defined. Oh Hollywood, just hire some people with chemistry and then you might stand a chance of having a movie.

The idea of Jurassic Park is that humans use science to recreate these magnificent animals for us to marvel at but human hubris leads to mismanagement which causes danger to people at the park. This movie is about how Dinos are the most bloodthirsty creatures ever and their only goal is to kill humans or their vehicles except when the humans hold out their hands or move slowly. No Wonder. No Fun. No Adventure. Just killing and being killed. What garbage.

Avatar is the most beautiful video game ever made, sadly they thought they could make more money releasing it as a bad movie instead. So they did that and made lots of money. But as a movie it is pretty thin, the writing is think, the story is thin, the acting is thin, etc. But as a sumptuous beautiful video game world, it is second to none, even all these years later. It is about a guy who becomes an alien and does it better than all of them so he leads them against the humans and wins. Yeah, right, sure.....

This movie is exactly what you think it is. An almost classic movie from 1991 with Mickey Roarke being Mickey and Don Johnson wondering why he isn't the biggest star in the world. It starts strong establishing these rebel characters in a slightly future world. Then come badly paced action scenes and villains that mostly just stand there and shoot guns. At least Don J. looks good throughout.
Hate Watching is the show that is like a time machine but much more disappointing.

Will Smith used to be considered the most charming guy in Hollywood. He launched Blockbuster movies but also did ones where he played the common man. Then he made this piece garbage. He wrote the story and brought this film into the world and it is a giant mess of nutty attitudes and senseless uninspired action scenes. But the most amazing thing he did was maybe give us a peek into who he thinks he is. He plays a charmless monster of a father who forces his kid to overcome obstacles to save his character's life. Never once caring about the kid. And by the end of the movie he has not changed, he still thinks he did this right. It is a terrifying look at how he thinks a family should work. And he also found a way to make this movie phenomenally boring. Good job Will.

What is an artists duty? Probably nothing for the most of us that exist on the outskirts of fame. What is the duty of the artist with Fame? There is no duty but it is a platform that affords the artist a chance to do something good. It is lens that can reveal the good and bad of the world. It is a chance to talk about the human experience to large audience. But in a lot of cases, it is a chance to speak your truth. And in some cases, that truth is terrifying built on aberrant beliefs. Most of us spend our lives carefully curating what we say. But a few people with artistic voices go off and speak their darkest secrets not realizing that the world is happy to tear them down from their throne of fame and throw them in the gutter. What the world gives, it can just as easily take away...

This movie has been joke from the day it came out and for good reason. John Travolta's alien antagonist int he movie is laughable, his dialog is terrible and his delivery is unironically comical. The plot is filled with holes and the direction is beyond a mess. But this is one of those movies that you can spend your time laughing at, you can revel in the stupidity. It is a thing you can do to try to survive its stupidity.

I guess they just rereleased ET on Imax. I saw photos of people taking their full size ETs to the showings and buying them seats. Never has Hollywood been happier then the point where fans will buy tickets for inanimate objects. I think it is amazingly cool. I love when fandoms do their own things. They take over. Sadly they are still beholden to the studios to make them more content but not always. For so long Star Trek fans have written stories and made fan films.

People are talking about how this is inappropriate because he committed genocide. OMG - this stuff aint real. Nobody really died in the snap. Its a comic book movie. To quote William Shatner "Get a Life." If youre worried about a fictional event in a comic book movie, you need to move on. Its a movie. No one died. If you did burst into tears when Thanos snapped his fingers, you need to check your priorities. I wept a tear or two when Spiderman died but I had a pretty good idea he'd be back.

#TomHolland #markyMark #unCharted #videogamemovie
I get it. Gold is great. But if you make your whole life about acquiring gold, that will not be much of a life. And if your whole life is about acquiring gold, it is likely that your whole life is not about spending the gold. If you spent the first half of your life getting gold and the second half spending that gold, that would be OK. But that is not how it usually works. Scrooge McDuck just spent his days swimming in his pile of gold. That would not be much fun. Life is about figuring out a way to survive and enjoy. Finding that right mix is the key to happiness. Just sayin.

In this video we sing the praises of Larry Miller while talking about an animated movie worse than Delgo. This movie is unlike any other animated movie so Tony did the hard work of putting in clips in the video so you can see what we are not making all this up. This is a movie everyone should try to see because it is that terrible.
Hate Watching is the show that gets it right sometimes.

Ghosts. Are they real? Who knows. Are Ghost Hunting shows real, heck yes they are. It is interesting in the media landscape how a category of show can just rise up from the grave and become a serious sub-genre. They fulfill some need in the viewing audience. They are sort of entertainment, sort of a tease that they will solve an ages old mystery. In the end they give just enough to make their viewers come back for more.

This movie thought to piggyback on the success of Gladiator. Their mistake was waiting 16 years and making a pretty uninspiring movie. The religious stuff is given the backseat and the chariot race tries to be exciting but never gets there. And thus you are not left with much to chew on. The much better 1959 version has an incredible homosexuality implied backstory that this movie just skips to its detriment.

They closed our Rite Aid. Went in their last week and were told they would be closing in a week. I liked our Rite Aid, it was always empty and that was great. But it's strange to have a big chain store close in the heart of LA. It feels like new economic forces are coming to bear on our lives and it is a little scary. I'm not sure what it means. Most of my life, the world has just expanded but here there is a contraction. An isolated case? Perhaps. But perhaps not. We will see.

Great comedies are hard to make. They take great casting, great script, great premise, great direction, great cameos. Tropic Thunder was one of those movies. The Bubble is not. Everyone in the cast was great...in other movies. But the biggest issue is that this movie doesn't know who it is making fun of. Is it making fun of actors being privileged? No, it wants us to sympathize with what they go through. And thus there is no room for comedy. And don't get me started on Kate McKinnon. She is very funny but in this movie as in others, they think they can just give her crappy lines and she will turn them to gold. Well that does not happen. You have to do the work to get the laughs and the Bubble phones it in from beginning to end (except for Gus Khan - that guys a hero).

Dukes of Hazzard was a weird show. The boys were bootleggers and shot arrows that had dynamite on them. They had an uncle and the local Mayor was a criminal who was sort of helped by sheriff and deputy. I guess int eh show they helped people who were begin abused by the law. Oh yeah and the boys had a super hot sister who also did stuff? TV is kid of amazing in the shows that resonate and survive. I'm sure when they put this on TV, no one knew it would be a hit. But it resonated in a weird way. Filled some niche that no one really knew needed to be filled. And that is life. We are all searching for that niche to fill. sometimes we find it and sometimes not.

This movie may just be the end of the Disaster Movie. Long a staple genre - back to movies like the Poseidon Adventure and the Airport series. Roland Emmerich brought them back with Independence Day and the Day after Tomorrow but whatever magic he had back then is so gone. This movie is weak sauce from the get go. Sad times, sad times.

Superman 3 is a movie that shows how Hollywood tries to take a star and cram them into an existing scirpt. They wrote a Brainiac and Mr. Mxyzptlk movie then brought in Richard Pryor but tried to keep the same weird plot points. So nothing makes sense in this movie. Also there is a lottery plot and Lana Lang love story. Also this movie is an old time slapstick comedy.

Delgo is a movie that few have heard of and fewer have seen. It is a 3D animated movie of good intentions but sadly poor execution. Sometimes independent filmmakers reach for the sky and just don't get there or anywhere near there. That is Delgo. It stars Freddie Prinze Jr. and a lot of other real actors doing the voices. Is it better to have tried and failed or to have never tried? Delgo shows sometimes you should not have tried.

Just watching a show about all the TikTok kid stars. Many of them have millions of viewers with makeup stuff and dancing and pop songing. Andy Warhol was right about the 15 minutes. It will be interesting to see if any of these starts can transition out of this into big things. Certainly people like Bo Burnham did but he was incredibly smart and terribly funny.

Not sure if Howard the Duck is canon to the MCU. Is the Howard we see with the Collector, the Howard in this movie? Or is this all a Multiverse set up for decades in the making? And to answer the clickbait title of this episode - No, Howard the Duck is not the MCU's greatest film (that would be Winter Soldier.) But Howard is a weird experiment in comic movies that fails pretty much all over the place.
#howardtheDuck #MU #comicMovies
Comic books. Animation. These things were for kids but now they really drive a lot of Hollywood. And that is a good thing. They are our myths. Our gods. Our stories. And we now have the tech to really bring these fantastic stories to life. And when they work, they are magic and have the ability to move us. When they are bad, they can be infinitely cringey. But the good news is, there are so many comics out there that Hollywood has a lot to pick from and it's gonna be great when we get a good Man-thing horror movie and the Goodwin/Simonson Manhunter gets a mini-series. I'm ready, Make Mine Marvel.

This weeks movie is Bad Company, starring Anthony Hopkins and CHRIS ROCK! What you say? How could this be? The same Chris Rock who just got slapped at the Oscars by Will Smith? Yes, he starred in this weeks movie. And this movie was much less interesting than him getting slapped by Mr. Smith. Not to talk about the slap too much but it seems to me that the slap is gonna define Will Smith for next bunch of years but probably won't define Chris Rock much at all. I think that says it all.
Hate Watching is a show that for once seems tangentially topical.
#ChrisRock #theSlap #badcompany #anthonyHopkins
There was a TV show called the Slap that came out in 2015. The promo for the show was very silly and the show seemed very much overhyped. But for years after the show I thought about it. How weird the title was. How weird the premise was. A slap is such particular thing. It is almost a contrivance. And we saw one play out on live TV. An unscripted moment that we all get to grind through our own filter. Laying blame as we choose or even choosing not to believe the thing was "real". But a moment that will linger and come to mean different things over time. Time always makes it decisions slowly and no one can control those decisions.

Another week and another movie. Jackie Chan is great, Steve Coogan is in one of my fav movies of all time (Hamlet 2) but this movie just uses them badly. It is sad. We call this a 2 joke comedy because you laugh twice during the movie. Jackie went on to do great stuff and Steve Coogan is still killing it.

We go old school to see how they did it in the 1980's and wow. This one feels more like a TV movie than a real movie. Not exciting, not good looking, bad acting but some wonderfully terrible special effects. This came out as a 3D movie so when those shots are converted to 2D they look especially terrible and thus GREAT! Plus Dennis Quaid, young and enthusiastic. Also a dog with long ears drinking water.

Captain EO. Tony doesn't remember it. I was stunned. It is kind of crazy that this is a forgotten thing. Maybe someday kids will rediscover it and say wow, this is the greatest thing ever. Or more likely no one will ever care again. This production that appeared for years will be gone from the collective consciousness. This is what is gonna happen to most of the media we love right now. Way back when there was vaudeville and a million stage plays which no one cares about. So many silent films forgotten, so many records unplayed and so many books. Books that will never be read, never loved. Now I have depressed myself. I'll go read a book.

In this video we talk a little about NFTs and not in a positive way. I'm hoping none of the cryptobros notice this and come after us. That is always a danger that they might find us and spam us and do other really hackersy stuff to silence our negative views about the art form of the future that are the NFTs. Who would want something that is amazing like a beautiful drawing or a cool bootleg action figure when you can kind of own a jpg that might be worth a fortune someday if you can find a person dumb enough to give you a fortune for it.

Comic books are good. They are an amazing form that is now getting the proper translation to the big and small screens. A lot times they get it right but a lot of times they get it wrong. The main issue being that comics go on and on and on - many of the characters have been around for 50+ years, in numerous comics. There must be thousands of stories to pick from when it comes to someone like Spiderman. So it takes the ability to synthesize a good 2 hour story out of 50+ years of content. That is hard. So lets applaud them for the successes and brace ourselves for more failures. The good news is that at least they are trying.

If you want to see a movie NOT about a Geostorm then Geostorm is the movie for you. You would think that the storm would be the main attraction of this movie but most of it takes place in outer space where there is no atmosphere and thus not a lot in the way of storms. At least in the incredibly stupid movie Day After Tomorrow, D. Quaid has to deal with the cold.

Comedy. Everyone wants to be good at it, few are. Amazingly it is much easier for a comedic actor to perform drama than the other way around. I think that is because comedians aren't afraid to go there. Comedians are happy to play the idiot, they love digging into the villain, they have fun with it. But when "real" actors try to go the other way - OUCH. There is a reason why everybody loves Paul Rudd and it is comedy.

This movie stars the pre-larger then life Rock and he gives it a go. You can see the superstar he would become at times but this movie was not the place where it came together. The plot tis about monsters on a space base on Mars and it is just a cheap Aliens ripoff. This movie does something in unique in that there is a section near the end that mimics the game in a truly terrible way, its a bad decision for the movie but fun for those of us making fun of this movie!

Way back in art school a teacher once asked what it is that we considered art. A painting? A movie? The scribbles of a child on a piece of paper? Our silly youTube show? As long as humankind has been there, there is the urge to create and communicate. So pretty much any gesture can be considered as art. And if that is so then someone has to separate the wheat fro the chaff. Who do you trust to tell you what is good and what art is bad. Like art can really be considered and figured out. We try and we fail but still we try. Because art is worth that. It is the reflection of us that we can view and try to understand. And we get it wrong a lot. And people like terrible stuff. Oh well.

This movie is about 2 1/2 hours too long and not surprisingly it is 2 1/2 hours long. Gore Verbinsky wowed us with the first Pirates movie and it has been downhill since then. Look for Armie Hammer being charmless and forgettable. Look for Johnny Depp as Tonto in a role that might just be his most embarrassing (go check out his latest fragrance commercial to see how he has become a parody of himself). Look for the bad guys that have plans you could care less about and wish were even moderately interesting. So there is a lot to look forward to in this gem.

Is Stardom a curse or a gift? AS with all things it is all about how you live your life. There are many stars who just live out int he public and it is not a problem. Jerry Seinfeld does his comedians show and just goes places and gets hassled very little while other stars are hounded by paparazzi to within an inch of their lives. I'm sure the best life in stardom is the one where you get the access wiht the success but the public doesn't love too much. Not that any of that matters for all the rest of us. We all just dream of having the bucks to pay the bills. Oh bills. Why. Why. Why.

The best thing about this movie is how short it is. Still it feels long. Brendan Fraser who had been on a good streak, struck out hard with this one. Sarah Jessica Parker is in the movie and that is the nicest thing you can say about her. Alfred Molina is the villain and his plot is more convoluted than a Christopher Nolan movie (and just as lame). So not much to see here.

What does the future hold? Well, shortly lunch, then dinner, then breakfast, then repeat. Life is just a series of cycles. Is there someone out there that remembers all of this meals? Seems like that would be more of a burden than a gift. Could you have a different thing for every single meal? Most of us just cycle through the same things, over and over. I eat pretty much the same breakfast everyday and could imagine a world where that never changed. But by dinner I'd rather have something unique to the day. That does not happen much.

Outrage. We live in a cybersphere of outrage and it gets exhausting. So sometimes you have to just block it all out and go to Taco Bell. Order yourself a slushy and a Gordita wrap and you know that the world is going to be okay. Cool slushy brain freeze. That's my safe space. Just leave me alone.

Ernest was one of those things that no one could have predicted, an ad pitch character taking the world by storm and then ending up making kids movies. It is a great story but sadly the movies are not great themselves. This iteration was their attempt at a Halloween movie. It ends up being just a bunch of disjointed bits that never fit together and causes your head to hurt. C'est le vie.
Hate Watching is the show that is so dangerous we can only present it once a week.

Everyone knows the tragic story of Bruce Lee's son Brandon dying during the production of the first Crow movie. Well the even sadder news was they kept making Crow movies and boy did they end up being terrible. This one stars Edward Furlong, stars might be stretching the term, he is the guy that stands in front of the camera and delivers the lines that are attributed to the character designated as the Crow. David Boreanez is here too, as is Tara Reid and Dennis Hopper and Danny Trejo, they try and fail too. This movie is a train wreck that crashed into a second train wreck. Oh yeah its October so we are doing all horror/Monster/scary movies - this movie wishes it were those things but instead it is just lame.
Hate Watching is the show that is here to take cheap shots.

Well we just had the big Facebook/Instagram shutdown. It was interesting to experience the loss of a tool that I use all through the day. I am a big fan and user of Instagram and am worried that Facebook is going to destroy its functionality. They did it to Facebook and you can feel them slowly making Insta worse and worse. But that is the thing with tools, when they are no longer needed, we can just find new tools. I used Flickr for many years til they ruined it and then I left it. I will miss Insta when it outlives it usefulness but it won't be my fault that they screwed it up. Not that anyone pays attention to customer dissatisfaction....

The movie they tried to make for 10+ years finally got made and it is as expected...underwhelming. The stars are weak, the comedy is painful, the monsters are MIA and Jeremy Irons is out of his mind. There are a few little nice things but overall the fans must wait a little longer for D&D to get a decent shot on the big screen.

Willow is the movie you make if you can't get the rights to Lord of the Rings and want to try to make something similar. And also you know of want to make it a kids movie. And you hire Ron Howard. And want to pretty much ruin Val Kilmer's hopes of being an A-list movie star. And you want to create the most forgettable villain of all time. This movie has a lot going on. Oh yeah and Netflix is making it a series......

We were taking the dog to the vet today. It is an hour drive and about 45 minutes in the dog got super excited. I assumed it was her getting excited about getting there. Then all at once she sits and calms down and then I feel a warmth in my lap. She has taken a giant leak all over me...oops. I felt bad for her but it just says something about our inability to always ready the signals. I'm sure she thought she was making it perfectly clear that she needed to access to a lawn but boy did I get it wrong. That is life, reading signals and then messing it up.

Tony loves the first Suicide Squad movie and is angry that everyone hates it and loves the new one. The truth is that they both have a lot of problems and the second one is gonna be beloved by a certain audience and everyone is gonna hate on the first one forever. So Tonys dream of the first one getting some love is never gonna happen. PS - John Cena = Hilarious.

Now that everyone is talking about the Met Gala, I won't. Instead I want to talk about dreams. Everyone loves to tell people about their dreams and no one ever wants to hear about your stupid dreams. Dreams are the ultimate randomizer of information stored in your brain. So they are fun to you but to everyone else the random shit in them is just that, random shit. We like to think that there is order in the universe but in truth it is all just random chance. Wouldn't it be nice if life actually meant something. Sadly it doesn't. Life is meaningless. Get used to it. Maybe we should talk about the Met Gala some more...

And with the Mummy he did it all, ruined the script, hired a bad director and cooked up one of the worst monster movies of all time. Good job Tom.

My wife loves soccer or football as they call it abroad. Every day she watches game but also the shows where they talk about soccer or football. It is kind of funny to watch a bunch of old euro guys talk about players that I have no idea who 99% of them are (I know Messi, Renaldo and Paul Pogba and Havertz who's name sounds like Have Farts). And there are so many teams and leagues and championships in the middle of the season and breaks and Olympics and World Cups and on and on. It is just odd to know a very little about something but watch shows where people care about a thing so much and I care so little. We all have our things and seem crazy to everyone else on the planet.

This is the movie that answers the question What happened after the fairy tale Hansel and Gretel. It also answers the questions Did Hansel get diabetes from all the candy and did he invent insulin. So it's a weird one. The final witch battle definitely goes in an Army of Darkness direction but it does not make up for a lackluster first hour.

What is the role of the movie critic at this point. Rotten Tomatoes has thousands of reviews. Amazon has millions. But it turns out people are paid to write good amazon reviews for products. We know that happens for movie reviews too. So who can you trust. You can't trust anyone, least of all us. We don't know what the hell we are talking about. if we did we would be the ones making these movies. Instead we are the guys who get on here each week and complain about what has been made. maybe we should spend that time getting our scripts in the hands of the real players. Maybe we should go to Cannes and rent a yacht and wine and dine studio people. But instead I think we will just keep complaining and never get our stuff made. That is the best way to prove that we are right. We are. Aren't we??????

I had forgotten we had watched this movie. And now I have to remember that we did. I don't have to tell you that it is not a good movie. They sort of take some elements from the cartoon but they don't really go anywhere. And the poor guy that played Spike in Buffy is the villain but you know he was happy that the makeup made him unrecognizable. Emmy Rossum is in here too and some other realish people.

What happens when you make a movie that lacks all the charm, humor and heart of one of the greatest television series of all time? You end up with this confusing pile of junk. Some things are better left alone or maybe just let the creators do a new tv series (oh yeah they did that and made Korra which was wonderful). I root for M Night but this movie just didn't have a chance.

Pizza. Is there anyone that does not love pizza. If there is I don't want to know that person. Pizza is perfection. In life we are always looking for that little bit of perfection. The perfect dessert, the perfect day at the beach, the perfect hot shower at the end of a long day. We can try to replicate the perfect experience but each time it feels a little more hollow. So you mix it up but still you search for that perfection. Finding it less and less and hoping more and more that it can be experienced again. Then you give up hope. But then out of the blue, you have another perfect experience. And you start the hunt all over again.

I just did a math equation for the first time in years. I use math when I make stuff sometimes but this was a slightly challenging problem someone posed on Twitter and I thought, lets try. Well luckily I was able to do it but sadly it reminded me of how much stuff we learn in our lives that never gets used. Just packed away I the deep recesses of our brains slowly losing potency.

Well I had written a whole thing down here and somehow it got lost. It was all about how we've struggled and worked to put out this show for a year to little or no accolades. We are ready for our spotlight. For the adoration. The limos. The Christmas gifts. When is our time in the spotlight. Even 15 minutes would do. Actually 15 minutes is way too short a time. 12-24 months would be better. I think think we deserve that for a years worth of shows. Come on. Please. Ok 1 month? Please. Ok we will take the 15 minutes.....

It took a long time to get this Independence Day sequel and that time was not spent well. This movie not surprisingly just sort of rehashes the old movies beats but with a new cast that just can't pull it off. Will Smith rose to stardom based on the first film but don't expect that of this cast.

Has TV eclipsed the movies? I think it has. The TV space just allows for more through storytelling. We love sitting in our houses absorbing 8 hours of the latest show on Netflix. And TV just so easily travels around the world. People just fire up their devices and are feeding content into their brains. That said the movie theatre is not going away. People still love the experience or the huge movie. Vin Deisel's face as big as a house. His teeth as big as a washing machine. Big Vin Big Vin, they all chant as we get just one more fast and furious movie......

I complain about the world and then try to find some part of the world that is working that counteracts the disfunction that we suffer through. Today that thing is LICORICE. What a strange word but what a wonderful candy. Basically it is just delicious gummy sugar. I am partial to the red flavors but have enjoyed weird flavors like apple in the past. It would be fun to make it. But ive never really made any candy. Mostly I used to bake. I don't bake as much anymore because I like to eat what I bake. Really like to eat it.

Well this week I discovered Tiktok. It is a crazy thing. So much content, so short and so odd. I think it is the ultimate thing for people with the attention spans of gnats. I think that is what we are all becoming, if something is longer than 15 seconds, we get bored (just try to make it though all 2 1/2 hours of Army of the Dead without looking at your phone). Is a 90 minute movie gonna be too long soon? I don't know but if you made it this far in my rant, congrats, now go see if anyone liked your latest pic on Insta.

Do cellphones make our lives better? Well they make them more convenient. and certainly they have saved lives, made people lots of money and make it easier when our cars break down. But they also act as a tether to the immediacy of life. It is hard to get away from checking the phone, looking at instagram or ordering Postmates. But there is a cost, our attention spans are fleeting, our memories unused and time so wasted on the morst of wasteful of things like Tiktok. But dammit, I need that connection.

Awards shows...they used to be a thing but more and more, no one cares. For good reason. The mediascape is so wide ranging, you can just go out there and find what you like. The Witcher is a good example of this. People love it. I got bored after one episode. Should it be destroyed and then off the air? No. It is made for a certain specific audience that likes it. The rest of us should just F*** off and go find something made for us. That said, the Witcher is silly and his wig is dopey. I hope that is a wig, is it's Henry's really hair, ouch.

Tony starts with a story about a can opener which is more entertaining than anything in Boss Level. This movie is so thin that I had forgotten I had even watched it the day after I did watch it. So basically we hated it, no surprise. And a big waste of Mel Gibson, if you didn't think his career is over, this movies proves it. And then there is Ken Jeong, oh man, this movie is a sad testament to where his career has cratered.

Is streaming going to kill the movie theatre? It may have already. Still I think there is the need for the movie theater experience. Sitting all together and hearing that laughter or other human responses to what is happening on the screen. To see those human face blown up to a scale that is monolithic. People still pay for that in person experience. There are no lack of lines at Disneyland and other themed experiences. Who knows what the future holds but one thing I do know is that the newspaper comic is pretty much dead and never coming back. Things change and we get used to it.

The Wachowski's changed cinema with the Matrix. They keep trying to have another defining film by moving in a thousand different directions and sadly it has not really worked out too great. This movie is kind of campy fun but it never really comes tougher and that is sad because there is some good stuff hiding away in a movie that is too noisy a lot of the time and and can't quite hit the quiet moments. Oh well......

The Trilogy. As a kid we loved it. We fall in love with a movie and then they make 2 more and rake in the big cash. Most of the time we get to that third movie and we realize that the initial idea really didn't need to be revisited that third time (remember the Ewoks). Some franchises start and then keep going to varying levels of success (think Alien vs Aliens). Now we are sitting here waiting for 3-5 more Avatar movies. Is there a hunger for these movies? Who knows. But we may find out. Zack Snyder envisioned a whole bunch more JLA movies and he is never gonna get them because Joss Whedon stepped in and made a garbage movie. What's my point? Like I have a point. I guess it is that sometimes more is just more......

The comedy of Adam Sandler once ruled at the box office. Now they go to him because he has nothing better to do.

What is time? Is it a construct? Or is it real? I can't tell. I can tell you that for me it only goes in one direction. Time just keeps plodding along. I know at some point it is gonna catch up to me and kick my ass. But for now I am still one step ahead. But I can feel its breath on the nape of my neck. And I know I can't run forever. So kiss your pets, hug your loved one for time has it in for all of us.

Shaq is one of the greatest basketball players of all time but when it comes to acting, there is much to be desired. That aside, Kazaam is a middling kids movie with a few fun gags and plenty of Shaq aping to the camera. There is also some of Shaq's rapping, the less said bout that the better.
Hate Watching is a show about movies, for the movies and containing movies.

Have you ever had one of those days. When nothing is quite right. You've got a headache and you can't get the world to fit together. But then the next day is fine. That is the amazing thing about being human, one day is off and the next day is fine and hopefully the off day just fades into the background. Let it go. Move it on.

Is Hook a heart warming tale of childhood lost or a lazy bloated Hollywood mess?. Well Tony has one opinion and Dan has the right opinion. So lets go see Bob Hoskins grab a fat paycheck and Robin Williams in tights (thanks but no thanks) and even Julia Roberts in a role where everyone had to have asked "Who's casting idea was this?" (Oh yeah and Tony based his whole life on this movie)
Hate Watching with Dan and Tony is a show starring Dan where he lets Tony also share some of his opinions.

Fantastic Planet could have only been made int he 1970's. It's weird, trippy, kind of boring and probably best experienced when you are not fully in your own mind. Well we watched it with out the aid of pharmaceuticals and it's not really great aside from the visuals. It upset Tony because he is sad.

What is normal? That is a question that is impossible to answer for anything viewed through the personal lens is immediately subjected to the subjectivity of the viewer. In a sense the viewer constructs reality in the act of viewing reality. So there can never really be consensus when it comes to decking what normal it. So if there is no normal, then we should all get busy being weird because weird is where it is at. The more minds that get blown the better, for a blown mind is the best mind of all. Screw normality.

E.T., a movie that lives in the hearts of a generation. If you saw it as a kid, you fell in love with it. If you watch it now as an adult, you ask what the hell is going on in this movie. They never made a second one and I can only imagine what a mess that would have been. So enjoy as we make fun of E.T. and if you love this movie, it is not our problem.
Hate Watching is a show that runs too long with lots of useless opinions about movies that came out in the past.

Also we address the great mug controversy.
What does life owe us? Nothing is probably the right answer. We should be happy for the little things. A fresh piece of fruit. The laugh of a baby. The attention of a dog. But instead we get caught up wanting more and more. Enough is never enough. I want it all. Until hopefully we realize that a single piece of fruit is enough. At least for now. At least until it is dinner time.....

Artemis Fowl is a movie that was forgotten the minute after it came out. The Percy Jackson movies look like Citizen Kane compared to this movie. It is a movie that has a villain who barely appears in the film. The kid is annoying and Josh Gad's accent is the most painful thing in the world. So you can guess how we felt about it.

Was thinking about MySpace today. I still have a tab on my computer for my old MySpace page. I loved MySpace, you could set it up however you wanted within their weird page layout. Post images and connect with people. Then their interface got older and Facebook came along and MySpace didn't update with the times and then it was dead. They have tried to revive the corpse but that has not worked. And now we are stuck with all the issues of Facebook, which in turn will get killed by some other platform. And that is the way of life, each stronger platform comes, kills off the weaker ones until a stronger platform kills it and takes supremacy. Just like us all. Waiting for age to take us down. The reaper is just waiting around the corner. But MySpace was fun.

Chewing Gum. There I said it. What is it? Something to do with your mouth instead of talking. A way to deliver flavor and then eventually becoming a disappointing chore for your mouth. Some with sugar, some without. Maybe it is really just the compulsive nature of the human animal in product form. Not unlike the fidget cube. I ordered a fidget cube off eBay and it never came. I still think about it not coming but haven't taken the time to order a new one. I should but I haven't. That is what being a human is.

R.I.P.D. is a comic book movie, in that Hollywood bought a comic book idea and then changed it to try to be like another Hollywood comic movie that was a success (Men in Black). In doing this, they made a garbage movie. They had pre-Deadpool Ryan Reynolds and screwed that up. All said this is a perfect movie to start out our month of Schlockbusters, movies that tried to start a franchise and failed.

Remember. Memory. In a sense it is all we have. That big stockpile of stuff that sits in our brains. We access it to help make decisions. Sometimes we don't and we make terrible decisions. Sometimes those terrible decisions are the right decisions. Memory. The one thing we sometimes forget is that it is not real. Some memories are just fabrications or confabulations that our brains have cooked up leading us to think things happened that may have never happened. The brain, what a crazy mixed up thing. Glad I have one though.

A new year a new hope. Just like the first Star Wars movie. And I still say that is the only one worth a lick of spit. I know all you young ones love you some Mandalorian but give me those sweet Episode 4 vibes. Give me the torture droid and the holo chess and the trash compactor monster.

Marriage. A sacred bond between two people. An excuse for two people to live together and have one of them drive the other person crazy. And yes I do drive my wife crazy. I hide the Kleenex. I gaslight her by saying that there are jewel thieves living in the attic, you know all that stuff that we always do to the woman they love. But there are the times where she calms me down when there are octopus aliens coming in the windows. Or when my brain is turning to mush on the floor. That is marriage, putting up with it all and then coming out the other end and ordering Postmates.

Life is a four letter word. And by four letter word I mean it contains a total of four letters. The first is "L" and that stands for Love for what is life without love (here's a hint, its terrible). "I" is for eyes, one of the main ways of seeing. "F" is for "F*!#", it is the thing I say when I trip and stub my toe. "E" is for everything else and that is a whole lot of stuff. That is life but it's also even more. It is the miracle of what goes on here on the planet, trees, microbes, bugs, ticks (ticks aren't bugs BTW), Santa, his elves, blood oranges, after school specials, and on and on. I could go on and on butt that is what your are expecting e to do. Just said butt.

Well well well. Who threw Timmy down the well? As kids we were taught to be careful when playing because we might fall down a well. I lived in Southern California. There were no wells. We had indoor plumbing. We were civilized. We were not animals. Except when it came to Christmas. Well at least I was an animal when it came to Christmas. Actually I was more just obsessed. Pouring over the Sears Wishbook. I looked at each page and gauged what were the perfect toys. I did this too when I went to the actual toy store but in truth my passion lay in looking at the images in the catalog. Not surprising that I spent 20 years making living buying and selling on eBay every day. Our childhoods inform everything about our adult lives. But really, who threw Timmy down the well?

For those of us that live in California, the idea of snow and snowing is magical and exotic. But one time I went to Rhode Island in the winter and the snow had mostly melted and these big piles of dirty snow were piled up in the shady areas of parking lots and buildings and it was gross. I'm sure any snowman made of this snow would be grey and sad. Thankfully movie snowmen are white as the driven snow. What is driven snow? Snow people take other places because it is nice? That seems pretty weird, why drive it around if it just falls from the sky. These are the things I think about.

Somedays you wake up and you have had some crazy dreams. You start your day and it is just like every other day. None of those great dream dynamics happen in real life. No one you know transforms into a lizard person while the police are talking to them. Why do dreams make themselves so interesting and then reality never backs it up. It's not fair. I'm calling foul. I'm sick of reality being so real. We need more surreal in the real. There I said it. Now I better get to work doing it.

How many is too many. When it comes to candy your stomach will tell you. When it comes to comic books, the amount of load bearing walls can make a difference if you are storing them on the second floor. In America we like to take things to excess. How many sports cars does it take to prove you are a man. Do you really need to own Steve McQueen's 1968 Ford Mustang GT? Do you have the $3+million dollars to buy it? I don't but if there is a bank out there willing to loan me the money, I'm will to try to pay it back. And if I default on the loan at least I will have had the car for a few months to drive around in. And boy would I look cool in the car. Not that I go anywhere that people would admire it. Mostly I just go to Rite Aid and the grocery store. And I'm not gonna park it at either of those places. All those shopping carts. Life finds a way to ruin everything. I think I'll go eat a cookie.

50 Shades of Grey is a movie about a guy who has serious issues and needs to seek help. Instead the creators act like he is OK so as to make a movie that middle aged women might like.

Happy Halloween everybody. For our final movie of the season we watched the Netflix's Hubie Halloween. Adam Sandler is back playing a character that could not exist in the real world and man this bit is getting old.

Halloween, a day where we celebrate the dark, the unknown, the impossible. And an excuse to cover our lawns in plastic grave stones, our walls with giant fuzzy spiders and fill our pantries with delicious candy. Not that I need an excuse to buy candy. I love candy. Each year I buy it and then no kids come to our door because no kids live in our neighborhood. Then I eat it all myself until I feel sick. I'm going to do it again this year and next year and on and on because you're never too old to get sick eating Halloween candy. It's my thing. Since I was a kid. Have a good Halloween everyone.

How should we judge works from the past? HP Lovecraft had some incredibly problematic beliefs when viewed though the lens of todays standards. That said, his creations live on well beyond whatever terrible beliefs he ascribed to during his life. The thing that resonated from him are not those beliefs, it is the worlds he created that resonate. And now we have plush Cthulhu toys and Lovecraft RPGs. The world is a better place because of plush Cthulhu toys and Lovecraft RPGs. So the world is a better place because of HP Lovecraft. Sorry for getting serious. Butt crack. Hope that makes it better.

Here you go our take on the new Netflix doc the Social Dilemma. In the Social Dilemma a bunch of tech people try to tell us that they have created the biggest existential threat to humanity ever. And if we don't change, society will fall, there will be civil war, no more democracy, no more Tastykakes, etc. The only way for us to fix this is by listening to them some more. UGH. Dan and Tony don't buy this and we spend 85 minutes talking about it. They could go do something but social media has taught them that the only way to deal with a problem is by making a video that complains about that problem!

Movies are the national pastime. I know you are saying that baseball is the national pastime. It used to be. Maybe back in the 1850's. Now people want real entertainment. Things blowing up, CGI, dinosaurs, a dog that can walk backwards up the stairs. Baseball can't give us that. Only movies can give us that.

The Jason Bourne movies are filled with action, they have an interesting premise and great casts. Abduction (2011) is a lackluster attempt to take Taylor Lautner of Twilight fame(?) and make him into aJason Bourne type action star. It does not work and it pretty nearly killed his career. He's still cute and adorable and lovable but boy he cannot act.

In this episode we talk about the Love Guru, Mike Myers' (not Michael Myers from the Halloween movies) movie that pretty much killed his career. Dan being the dope that he is says that Mariska Hargitay is Jane Russell's daughter and not Jane Mansfield who is actually her mother. Tony on the other hand goes into an extensive explanation about how he deconstructs movie kissing scenes (it's really weird). So those two little things should be enough to compel you to watch all one hour and twenty eight minutes of our blathering.

I'm sitting here thinking about childhood. As a kid all things are new, each movie is a discovery, each comic book is a new place to imagine. As an adult that all dies. Everything is a retread or boring or badly handled. We slog from movie to movie, show to show trying to recapture that youth. But it is gone. Where can we find hope? In nostalgia? Sometimes. In creation of our own? Yes. That is the place. Go. Make. Do. Then come back and consume with fresh eyes. Happy eyes. Or don't.

No Holds Barred is the first and thankfully not the las Hollywood Hulk Hogan led movie. It is a bad movie but in a fun way. That does not stop us from picking it apart as hard as we can.

When you think Charlie's Angeles you think beautiful women (check), action (nope), good old fashioned fun (nope), stunts (nope), amazing hairstyles (some), plot twists (incredibly telegraphed) and a summer blockbuster (super nope). K Stew and crew deal up a snoozer and Tony and Dan are ready to pick it apart, piece by piece.

Reality. Heavy stuff. How do we know we exist? I think therefore I am. Maybe. I write jokes and therefore people laugh. Sometimes. I eat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups and therefore I am happy. I could use me some Reeses. Like right now. Reality.

Stealth is a movie. It's a movie both Tony and DanI watched. Tony really liked the line "That is shit hot." Dan found that line to be sophomoric and juvenile. Dan finds Tony to be both sophomoric and juvenile. But we are here to talk about the movie because that is what we do. We pick apart the lack of character, tension and how plasticy (not a word) the planes look. Also, Stealth is a movie.

The hidden spot. Down below. In accent times it was referred to as Hades, now we call it Hell. It is the place where all writers end up. They deserve it down here. With the devil and demons and goblins and hobgoblins. We used to play D&D and had to fight a lot of hobgoblins. What did those hobgoblins do to us? Probably nothing but we still went into their dungeons and killed them and took their treasure. Parents, maybe think about what D&D is teaching your children.

In this episode of Hate Watching with Dan and Tony, we ventured in to the distant future, the 2293 to be exact. Tony found it hard to believe that humans had lost their sex drive in only 200 years (they said they lost it but really they didn't). Dan was amazed that in the future they had SPACE OVENS to cook their bread, he is hoping that he can buy one at the Sharper Image. So sit back and listen to the boys make fun of someone's crappy vision of the future.

Well here we are again. Down below the hashtags in the gutter of comedy. Jokes that will be seen by few and appreciated by even fewer. If you are thinking about getting into comedy, don't. Learn to bake bread or invent the Space Oven. Dan really wants that damn Space Oven and he is willing to pay a pretty price for one. He is not kidding.

In this episode of Hate Watching with Dan and Tony, we watch the Adventures of Pluto Nash. Dan wondered why it was called the Adventures of Pluto Nash when there really weren't any adventures. Tony hated the movie especially because of Randy Quiad's terrible portrayal of a robot (it's bad). So settle in and enjoy as we talk about how Eddie wore his own clothes and just went through the motions in this snooze fest.

If you are still reading down here, just know that we love you for actually caring enough to read. We would like to give you a prize but once we did then we wouldn't have the prize and we like the prize. Maybe we could give a prize for the funniest comment left on this video. Maybe. I'm still deciding. I'm indecisive. It ruins all my relationships.

Hate Watching with Dan and Tony is our new show in which we watch movies and then take them apart as hard as we can (we know its been done before but we don't care). Tony and I met in improv class so we are accustomed to looking like idiots. Each week will be doing a new movie. Feel free to suggest movies because there are never enough terrible movies to destroy.

If you are still reading down here, just know that we will be hiding amazing Easter eggs down here for the true fans to find. It will be like the greatest scavenger hunt of all time. Each week you will find a little piece that adds up to a bigger puzzle that will only be solved with the final episode. And then the final episode will come and like Lost you will realize that Easter eggs are just a big con to try to keep people interested in a show that actually quit on the fans two years earlier. PS - Tony loves Lost and Dan made it through and is still griping about it.

In this episode of Hate Watching with Dan and Tony, we talk about Gotti (2018). Gotti is a biopic, Dan hates biopics. Tony thinks it's "a real gem of a movie" but he also hated it. So come with us as we shoot this movie in the head and bury it in the desert.

In this episode of Hate Watching with Dan and Tony, the guys sit down to enjoy the classic feel good family film Mac and Me. Tony of course hates it because he hates all things that are creative. Dan loved this movie because of the jumps in logic are so extreme they caused him permanent whiplash. So grab some popcorn and get ready to enjoy their critiques.

Well you've found the secret mine in the desert. Instead of aliens, you have found a dusty old pile of People magazines. But in the pile is the Dec 18, 1989 issue which features Sean Connery as the sexiest man alive. Maybe this is a clue to an upcoming episode.........

So if you hate this movie follow along as we pick it apart. If you like this movie please address all your comments to Tony, he likes to be abused.
