Everyone's A Critic

Comedy creator and Beatles expert Toby DB joins me to defend Yesterday. The Richard Curtis and Danny Boyle comedy that imagined a world where nobody remembers The Beatles except one man.

We discuss why Yesterday deserved a far warmer reception from critics, the surprisingly emotional central premise, Richard Curtis' unmistakable dialogue, and the incredible story behind the film's original screenplay, which was apparently much darker before becoming the crowd-pleasing rom-com audiences know today.Along the way we chat about The Beatles' legacy, Danny Boyle's direction, bizarre casting what-ifs, the film's impressive supporting cast, forgotten 2010s movies, and whether Yesterday has become one of the most underrated modern British films.

We also wrap up with our Rotten Tomatoes game and Toby reveals a surprisingly controversial answer to the show's final question.If you're a fan of Richard Curtis, Danny Boyle, The Beatles, romantic comedies or overlooked films, you'll love this one.

Comedy legend Demi Adejuyigbe joins me to defend Space Jam.We get into why the original Space Jam remains one of the most beloved sports movies of the 90s, why Space Jam: A New Legacy completely misses the point, and what makes the original such a perfect crowd-pleaser decades later. Along the way we discuss Michael Jordan, Bill Murray, Looney Tunes chaos, basketball movies, nostalgia, Ready Player One, and why modern studios still don't understand what audiences actually want from family films.We also talk about Demi's incredible career, from the beloved Punch Up The Jam podcast to his live comedy shows, and hear the unbelievable story of how a joke Letterboxd review somehow got him credited on the Space Jam: A New Legacy Wikipedia page.If you grew up with Michael Jordan, Bugs Bunny and the Monstars, this one's for you.⭐ Support the show on Patreon for:Episodes 24 hours earlyAd FreeBonus ContentExclusive Polls and Updatespatreon.com/everyonesacriticpod
