Better Movie...Maybe?

It's the season two finale! And just like the first season, we're ending it with a debate-style discussion on off the wall categories like 2000 cast remake and movie multiverse crossovers. You don't need to listen to the other episodes to enjoy (although there's some funny callbacks if you do), but you do need to follow us on Instagram at Better Movie Maybe Podcast so you can vote for the winner.

For today’s episode, we’re joined by blogger movie critic Hans Martin Jr. to discuss the film Bruised (2020). Check out his blog at realmoviecritic.com and podcast show on certainpov.com (The Real Movie Critic vs The Cine-Guy).  We hold back no punches as we talk through the different fight movie tropes and cliches and the believability of Halle Berry’s skill as an MMA fighter. Plus we discover one of the hosts hasn’t really seen any Halle Berry films before.

The movie Red Notice (2021) broke Netflix records for most streams as well as most expensive movie produced. In today’s episode, we analyze what each of the leading actors brought to the film-- the Rock’s ridiculous physique, Ryan Reynold’s comedic delivery, and well, Gal Gadot’s in it. We agreed this movie is a must-watch, but not for the reason you may think.

For today’s episode, we invited Will Smith super fan aficionado Davis Wallace on to help us talk through the biopic King Richard (2021). We discuss Will’s performance as the father of the Williams sisters and whether it’s worthy of an Oscar nomination. We also rank where this movie falls among the great (and not so great) films in Will Smith’s catalog.

For today's episode, we invited guests Monic & Jenelle of "Is Marriage Worth It" podcast to discuss the Netflix movie Lovehard.  It's a romantic comedy with all the expected romcom antics. We discuss if the plot would work in real life and we tackle the question is Diehard a Christmas movie?

In this episode we review The Harder They Fall (2021), a Western that happens to feature an all black cast. While the movie characters' stories are basic and historically inaccurate, it didn't stop some of us from having a great time watching.

In today's episode we review 2021's Army of Thieves currently streaming on Netflix. We discuss what qualities of a heist film genre could have been executed better as well as the missed opportunities for more zombies. Plus one of us has an existential crisis due to watching this movie.

In this episode, we tackle the film Dune (2021), out in theaters and HBO Max.  We all agreed that Dune is beautifully-captured with a phenomenal cast, but were split on whether we actually liked the movie. Some of the points of dispute were the lengthy runtime, the slow-burn approach to the plot progression, and the repetitious use of dream sequences.

This week we discuss the thriller/action film Till Death (2021) starring Megan Fox, currently streaming on Netflix. In this episode we explore cliched home invasion movie plots, the constant raising of stakes and Megan Fox's performance.

In this week’s episode, we review There’s Someone Inside Your House (2021), a teen slasher film on Netflix. We discuss the movie’s homage to the classic 90’s horror genre, a few problematic plot points, and our better picks for the killer’s identity. Plus we get an explanation for the inaccurate, awkwardly long title of the film.
