Disney is deep in its live-action remake era, and honestly… we’re exhausted. In this episode, we dive into why Disney keeps recreating its animated classics, which ones actually work, which ones feel totally pointless, and why most of them miss the magic of the originals.

We talk about the hits like Cinderella and Cruella, the “just okay” ones like Aladdin and The Jungle Book, and the absolute “why did they do this” tier like The Lion King, Mulan, and The Little Mermaid.

We also talk about nostalgia, corporate strategy, fan expectations, and how Hollywood keeps using familiar IP as a safety net — even when the remakes add nothing new.

And of course, we go all in on the one we’re truly dreading: the upcoming Moana live-action remake. It’s too soon, unnecessary, and makes us wonder if Disney has run out of ideas entirely.

If you’re tired of Disney repainting its own classics and calling it innovation, this episode is for you.

In this episode of BJ in the Morning, we dive deep into the world of legacy sequels — the ones that landed, the ones that flopped, and the ones that probably should’ve stayed unmade. We break down how nostalgia fuels the Hollywood machine, why studios keep returning to old IPs, and what happens when filmmakers try to recapture lightning in a bottle decades later.

From long-awaited continuations to questionable cash-grabs, we look at what makes a great legacy sequel actually work, and why some completely miss the mark. We also talk about how fan expectations, brand loyalty, and the rise of “nostalgia-first” filmmaking have changed the way movies get made.

If you love discussions about modern franchise filmmaking, reboot culture, and the state of Hollywood creativity, this episode has it all.

We picked up The Black Phone 2, and… yeah, we kinda wish we hadn’t. In this BJ in The Morning episode, we review the horror sequel, talk about Ethan Hawke’s return, and see how it stacks up against the first film and A Nightmare on Elm Street. Brutally honest, and full of laughs — plus our Golden COUCHIES Awards for The Table Lamp, WTF CGI, and The Bathroom Break moments.

We compare it to the first Black Phone and the dream-stalking terror of A Nightmare on Elm Street, talking about what worked, what didn’t, and how it fits (or doesn’t) into modern horror... but let’s just say… the line’s a little static.

Then we give it the full Golden COUCHIES treatment, with our ridiculous awards:
The Table Lamp – for the moment that barely lit things up
 WTF CGI – for the “wait… what was THAT?” scene
The Bathroom Break Award – the part you can safely miss without losing a thing

If you love horror movie reviews, funny film breakdowns, and the occasional roast of a sequel that maybe shouldn’t have been made, this one’s for you.

In this episode of BJ in The Morning, we dive deep into the highly anticipated 2025 film Weapons, directed by Zach Cregger (Barbarian). We kick things off with a spoiler-free review, sharing our first impressions, tone, performances, and how the film builds its eerie tension. Then, we head into full spoiler territory to break down the story, themes, and each of the character vignettes that make up this chilling and complex narrative.

We talk about:

•  How the multiple vignette structure shapes the story
• The connections between characters and hidden themes
• The performances that stood out (and the ones that didn’t)
•  What the film might really be saying about violence, fear, and society

Stick around for the end where we hand out our signature Golden Couchie Awards, ranking the best performances, wildest moments, and that one scene that had us saying “Wait… what?”

Whether you’ve seen Weapons or not, this episode gives you both a thoughtful review and an in-depth breakdown once the spoiler wall drops.

We also debut our brand-new award system, The Golden Couchies! 🛋️ We hand out awards like:

1.The Table Lamp Award

For the character who showed up, did absolutely nothing, and vanished like they were never there.

2.Pre Christmas Socks Award

For the plot hole so big, even 20 years of friendship debates can’t patch it.

3.The “Wait, What?” Award

For the scene that made us both look at each other like… huh?

4.The Goosebump Award

For the one scene that actually gave us chills — and not just because the theater A/C was cranked.

5.The WTF CGI Award

For the computer effects that looked like someone’s nephew made them on Windows 98.

6.The Michael Bay Boom Award

For the moment with the biggest explosions, loudest chaos, or most unnecessary slow-motion shot.

7.The Wallpaper Pick

For the one frame so pretty, we’d actually hang it in our living rooms — or at least set it as our group chat background.

8.The Bathroom Break Pass

For the scene so skippable, even best friends of 20 years wouldn’t pause it for each other

And the most important awards of them all!

The Mother Approved Award

For the movie that passes the ultimate BJ in the Morning test: it’s fun, it’s solid, and it’s so rewatchable we’d even recommend it to our moms. This is the gold star seal of approval for films we think are genuinely great and worth coming back to

The Grounded Forever Award

For the movie so bad, it’s like getting grounded as a kid — you sit through it once, swear you’ll never do it again, and definitely don’t want a sequel. These are the films we’d happily erase from movie night forever.

Join us as we laugh, rant, and celebrate the chaos of KPop Demon Hunters. If you love fun movie reviews, podcast reactions, and award shows for the couch potatoes among us, this episode is perfect for you.

Who is the best live-action Batman of all time? In this episode of our podcast, we dive deep into Gotham’s shadows to rank every big-screen Dark Knight. From Robert Pattinson’s brooding detective in The Batman, Christian Bale’s gritty realism in The Dark Knight Trilogy, and Michael Keaton’s iconic return, to Ben Affleck’s powerhouse portrayal, Val Kilmer’s underrated run, and even George Clooney’s infamous take—we cover them all.

We debate what makes each version of Bruce Wayne and Batman unique, explore their impact on pop culture, and decide once and for all which actor wore the cape and cowl best. And Brendan and Juan both share their list of the Best Batman on screen!

If you’re a fan of DC Comics, superhero movies, or just love a good Bat-debate, this is the episode for you.
