Episode 276: The Meg

Hello everyone and welcome to our week in geek! This week we dive right into the giant shark v Jason Statham fest that is The Meg.  As normal we provide you a spoiler free review first but also give you a more spoiler filled review at the end of the show!  We discuss a little CW news with Ruby Rose announced as Batwoman and a smattering of other nerd news items.  We also discuss our streaming review Extinction and answer last week's fan suggested podquestion of what you add a 0 onto that you currently own?

This week's streaming review was the Netflix original with Extinction. Over all we have to admit that we were surprised by how much more fleshed out this movie was (for a Netflix original).  Michael Pena does a good job of driving this character driven movie and kind of makes us want to see him in more varied roles.  While not perfect by any means  the movie provided a decent twist that helped really draw us in more.  Over all Bat was more enamored with this movie than myself with him giving it a see it while I say it's okay to skip it.  Regardless of rankings though, we want more Pena.

For the next movie we're changing direction and going to try our hands at the First Person Movie, Hardcore Henry.  Will this be a nausea inducing adventure or something completely unexpected?  Join in by watching this movie on Netflix.

Episode 276: Ewan McPooh

Hello everyone and welcome to our week in geek! This week we take a wack at the sentimental fest with Disney's Christopher Robin in the theater.  As normal we provide you a spoiler free review first but also give you a more spoiler filled review at the end of the show!  Still little to no news to talk about so we breeze quickly by what we do have and discuss some of the PS Plus in free shit good shit, review our streaming review of Cloud Atlas and answer last week's fan suggested podquestion of what you current favorite Podcast is.

This week's streaming review was Cloud Atlas.  Whew boy, this movie is a colorful mess.  Shot beautifully with wonderful colors but behind all that sheen there is little substance and a confusing presentation. The haphazard bouncing between all of the vignettes is jarring and confusion and just plain strange.  It would have made more sense to keep each of the vignettes together and then bridge each of them to better tell their story.  But alas, this was another Wachowski movie which now means a beautiful confusing mess.  We both highly recommend skipping this one in favor of watching something, anything, else.

 


For the next movie we're hopping back into the world of Netflix originals with Extinction.  Will this be another instance of a movie that isn't fully fleshed out or will it change our minds?
