This week, we're getting dragged by the anchor-cable into an ancient war between angry bureaucrats and aloof teleporters as we jump in to the 2008 forgotbuster Jumper, directed by Doug Liman, and starring Hayden Christensen, Samuel L. Jackson, Jamie Bell, Rachel Bilson, Michael Rooker, Diane Lane, Kristen Stewart and AnnaSophia Robb. After a June full of five-star films, we intentionally picked a stinker this week -- though it's a movie J Mo thrifted out of genuine interest, as the talent both in front of and behind the camera is formidable to say the least, and the movie's barely-explored concept is not without potential. But hey, sometimes the most fun episodes are the ones where we all agree the movie is a big hunk of junk. Meanwhile, Justin's going down the rabbit hole of the original series Star Trek films, while Hayley files a theatrical field report on A Quiet Place: Day One.
If you'd like to stream Jumper this week, you can't! It should be on Disney+ or Hulu but it's not. They want it to stay buried.
Other works referenced in this episode include Pig, The Great Muppet Caper, Clifford, Set It Up, The Ring, Joy Ride, Hot Rod, Con Air, The Spectacular Now, Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, Shattered Glass, American Made, Valkyrie, Edge of Tomorrow, The Bourne Identity, Speed, Speed Racer, X2: X-Men United, The Three Amigos, John Wick, The Happening and Behind Enemy Lines.
Next week, as Axel Foley returns in a direct-to-Netflix fourth installment, we're winding the clock back 40 years to the 1984 original Beverly Hills Cop, directed by Martin Brest, with Eddie Murphy and Judge Reinhold, currently streaming in Canada on Netflix and Paramount+. Until then, we'll see you at the movies!!
