Bad Movie Brunch

"How to Talk to Girls at Parties" (2017)

Dir. John Cameron Mitchell

England. Punk rock. Science fiction. Sex. Need we say more? Venture into a strange world that is supposedly based on a short story by Neil Gaiman...supposedly. People are getting pegged. Aliens are wearing latex. There are more nipples than a mind can imagine.

It's Brie Larson. It's Sam L. Jackson. It's NOT Marvel's Captain Marvel! It's Unicorn Store! This Netflix original is the directorial debut of Brie Larson and the results are colorful to say the least.

In this week's episode, we do our best to unpack the plot of Disney's Tomorrowland. What caused this movie to flop? Why would there be a 200 million dollar budget? Why does Luke love this movie if he doesn't understand the plot? Press play and find out!

The theme of this episode is....Britney Spears is an absolute queen and criminally under appreciated. She is a pillar of pop culture phenomena and we both love her unabashedly.

Also, we talk about the coming of age classic Crossroads. She was in that. Even if you don't remember the movie, you remember the song FROM the movie.

"I'm not a girl....not yet a woman...."

Come on an adventure from the mind of David Croenberg where you're whisked away in a limo ride through a dystopian look into the not-so-distant future.

Oh, did we mention it's starring Robert Pattinson...? Has he been in the news lately...?

Anyways, if you ever wanted to see Batman have sex/get a prostate exam, this is the flick for you.

Remember the unique and innocent beauty of the iPod Touch days? Remember when you'd use that iTunes gift card that you got from your weird aunt at Christmas to purchase the legendary ANGRY BIRDS game on the app store? Bad Movie Brunch remembers.

Also, like a decade after that game was relevant....they made a feature length film.

This weekend, Brie Larson's Captain Marvel conquered the box office! But before she was in the MCU...before she was winning Oscars...she was trying to help save some burrowing howls from an evil Pancake House mogul (Clark Gregg / Agent Phil Coulson).

Listen as the soothing tones of Luke and Katie unpack this flick and discuss why, for the love of God, there is so much Jimmy Buffet.

Katie brings an absolute TREAT to the brunch table this week with Finn Taylor's "Unleashed." In this romantic comedy, a woman wishes upon a star...and her cat and dog turn into two hunky men vying for her affection. Tale as old as time, right? Right? RIGHT?

Also in this episode: Luke repeatedly calls Sean Astin a "hobbit fuck" and talks about all the movies and tv he's been watching in the past week!

Recently, the somber news had been reported that Ben Affleck was hanging up his cape and cowl and passing the hallowed mantle of the Caped Crusader on to the next lucky actor.

With that in mind, Luke & Katie decide to take a look at back at Zack Snyder/Joss Whedon's "Justice League." Listen as we hold a viking funeral for Batfleck and the DCEU as we know it.

*BONUS*

We address the latest casting rumors for Bats and chime in with a little fan casting of our own.

Do you like anime? Surely, you know the age-old tale of Unico! Oh...you haven't? Neither has Luke. Listen as Katie takes him by the hand and whisks him away to an adventure in the Island of Magic. It's colorful! It's scary! (It may give you a seizure, so please be careful).
