Episode 158: We Ain't Afraid of No Ghosts

Hey everybody! Remember how I said last week we were back?  Yeah we are... but we're taking another week off due to San Diego Comic Con and some Harry Potter Land action.  But don't worry we will be sure to bring you a full on review of that once we return.  In the mean time we have some free shit good shit, Podquestions, Streaming review and our theatrical review of Ghostbusters (you know, the new one).

For our last streaming review I wanted us to watch The Big Short.  Oh man... where to start with this movie?  First off, we both liked it.  We gave it a 4/5 if that's any point of reference for you all. The reason I'm saying that up front is because while we liked the movie, this movie made us feel sick are points.  It is not gross per say, but the seer lack of caring or humanity that is exhibited by the people (that the actors are portraying) is just ghastly.  If you wanted a bit of a Hollywood-ified take on the behind the scenes of the housing crisis then look no further.  It's a well acted piece that does exactly what good cinema is supposed to do, it makes you feel.  I might hold off a bit if you recently bought, or are in the process of buying a house (looking at you Mando), just because it might give you cold feet.

 

Next week's streaming review is... nothing.  We're taking a break due to SDCC but if you have any suggestions please let us know!

Episode 157: That Awkward Moment When You Need Wedding Dates

Hello and long time now see.  Sorry for our lack of... well everything.  But that with vacations and all that shizz we had to kind of take a breather.  But we're back!  And we brought a few movie reviews like Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates, Independence Day: Resurgence and my quick review of Warcraft.  We also have our discussion on Pokemon Go, Streaming Review and our Podquestion.

For our last streaming review we gave the new Adam Sandler movie, The Do-Over, a watch and we were both kind of ...okay on it. This is part of the continued Netflix and Sandler projects.  While it was better than most recent Sandler movies we both agreed that it tried to do too much and had too many twists and turns.  We think that if it had been trimmed down a bit we could have had something closer to those fun movies from before.  While I wanted to give this a 2.5 I ended up siding with Bat and gave it a 2/5.  Die hard Sandler fans will still see it and might get something more out of it but everyone else is going to be just fine not giving this one a second glance.

 

Next week's streaming review is brought to you by me and I want us to watch The Big Short.  It's on Netflix so feel free to join in on this one my friends!
