The BS Boys (minus Joel Zammit) have done it. They've spent their entire day at the cinema to watch Barbie and Oppenheimer back to back as The Movies intended. These are all their thoughts on both movies. Full spoilers for both with a spoiler warning in episode but if you want to know nothing, don't listen yet!!! Hosted on Acast.

A Based Reaction to Barbenheimer (Barbie + Oppenheimer) with Hayden Bleechmore

Three boys with bad brains speculate on all upcoming movies, TV shows and comics. Check back each week for an assortment of unfounded, unresearched and unsubstantiated predictions. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

TV & Film

In what might be the quickest derailment of an episode yet, the boys misremember who directed Mortdecai and that was all it took. We had every intention of doing an episode on Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, but you must understand it got away from us. If you had to try and remember Mortdecai and what that movie was about, it would happen to you! We scoured our little brains trying to think what the plot of that film was about and entered the Mortdecai hole you are no doubt about to go down. It’s a weird hole that takes many an unexpected turn. We guarantee you would never guess how the book Mortdecai is based on ends. Not in a million years! And the sequel? The world has never been more ready for the plot of that book. So come with us on this journey, we understand you got a ticket for the Beetlejuice train but this bus going to Mortdecai is where you need to go. Anyways, did you know that in the 50s there was an incredible chimpanzee named Congo who was a fabulous abstract impressionist? He drew line, he drew circle, understood composition and symmetrical consistency. Ever the perfectionist, if one of his little drawings was taken away that he considered incomplete he’d hoot and holler, scream and throw a fit until he could finish his masterpiece. The reception to his paintings were mixed.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice But Really Mortdecai

Ryan Reynolds just dropped the trailer to Deadpool & Wolverine on YouTube and it’s already gotten 20 milly views in 24 hours, well on its way to make that sweet, sweet billy! So to celeblate we run through our theories about what’s going to happen in what will be this years most wonderful of films! How they get into the time bin? What Cassandra Nova want? She gonna go full Zazlav and delete the movie? What about Patrick Stewart? He coming back so he can die for a fourth time? We can only hope so! If you want to help support your favourite boys, Baseless Speculation+ is now available from our website where you can get episodes early and ad-free! We don’t know why that would be a selling point as Jackson makes this episode very non-advertiser friendly straight off the bat but do check us out on YouTube to watch Zammit’s soul leave his body at around the 1 hour 8 minute mark. But maybe we’re like that Cadbury ad with the gorilla whom loves Phil Collins? Initially shot down by execs, it turned out to be one of Cadbury’s biggest triumphs! And that could be us! Unlistenable, unmarkable but secretly, and then openly, beloved. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Deadpool & Wolverine (Now That We've Seen the Trailer)

Joker: Folie a Deux, a sequel that has the chance of alienating fans of the first but luring those that had nothing but disdain for it has released a trailer and your boys are nothing if not topical! A brave and bold choice to follow up a segma male’s anthem with a jukebox musical. A brave and bold choice we respect. We do our best to remember the original film, try to figure out the big connection between Arthur Fleck ie A Fleck and Batfleck and Jackson attempts to convince the Joels that Norman Reedus’ character in the Walking Dead, Paytus, gets tied to a log, falls in a river and ends up in France. Because the currents were in his favour. Truely another masterful episode by the three cleverest boys in pop culture, an episode you can watch on YouTube. Sadly, if this was to happen to an gorilla it would drown. While most mammals are able to swim instinctively without any training, not gorillas! They are far too muscular and heavy to float or move in water and their short arms and legs make them terrible at any kind of swimming stroke. But don’t fret. Gorillas are happy on land, where they find water in their food and bond with their mates. Gorillas fear the ocean. And so they should. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Joker: Folie a Deux (Now That We've Seen a Trailer)

Excelsior true believer! While Joel Duscher’s away the other two idiots will play! Zammit’s been reading about Marvel history and has come away with a very important finding. Sometime in the 90s we almost had a James Cameron directed X-Men film until Stan Lee wrecked it. You see, Stan Lee was a crazy man who loved Spider-Man and shouldn’t be invited to non-Spider-Man meetings (to his credit, he did have a brilliant idea for a van based X-Men cartoon that never happened). So let’s have a famous think and ponder what that film might have been like and how Leonardo DiCaprio would have been shoehorned in as one of the merry mutants. As always you can watch us on YouTube and now on to today’s ape fact! Some scientists have observed apes carving sticks into spears to help hunt for food and bonobos use sticks as weapons! Can you imagine that? A bonobo with a big stick? Damn. What a powerful bonobo with a powerful stick. We are all incredibly jealous of that little bonobos and its mighty stick. Maybe it’ll let us hold it for a bit? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A James Cameron Directed X-Men Film

Star Wars, a film series that historically has never once been political in any way, shape or form, has gone too far this time by hiring women? Non-whites? Goes against canon?? It’s hard to say. Fragile babies are upset and maybe gen-z think da prequels are better than the original series?? We don’t know. We also don’t know why a bison time travels. There’s a lot we don’t know to be perfectly honest. Except Yoda’s political leanings. That we get. So listen in (or watch us on YouTube) for the next hour while we momentarily distract you on the road to the grave as we try and figure out what will happen in Star Wars: Acolyte. Oh, we also know howler monkey’s are not only the loudest monkey, but they’re also the loudest land animal. Their little yells can be heard from 5km away! That’s 3 miles to you filthy imperialists. Or around about 50 odd football fields if you need that visualisation. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
