Movie Improvie: The Film Repair Podcast

Hoo boy gang, we're gettin' UNPRECEDENTED this week! James and Phil sat down to try to fix The Avengers this time. Not the one with the superfolks that you know and love, but the British-type spy flick from 1998 that no one remembers or cares about or knows. And man-o-peets, this movie was so bad that for the first time in our history, we decided to just throw it and all our ideas for it right into the garbage. Instead, we decided to take one of our movie trailers, for the movie Benched, and flesh that out into a beautiful dad-love story called Across the Plate, starring John C. McGinley, Garret Dillahunt, Liam Neeson, and Millie Bobby Brown. But hey, you can still listen to all our bad ideas for the bad spy movie. And also we fixed one more trailer, the one for Zoo. Just... Zoo.

Hey guys we said the name Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson too many times in the last episode, and like the spoopy lady in the mirror, we summoned D"TR"J's scariest apparition: his terrible bad 2005 video game movie, Doom. This bad movie about alien jeans and the scary monsters in someone's basement on Mars sure did suck, but we retooled it into the far superior Satan party movie Dr. Demon, Medical: Demon starring Rosamund Pike, Cate Blanchett, Margot Robbie, and Mike Myers.

We also fix the trailers for breath and Action Point, and give you a backdoor pilot for our new History of Doo-Doos podcast

Hey guys, y'know why we put these episodes out on Tuesday? Because no reason, it was arbitrary. But if we were a big fat orange monster cat, we might say it's because we hate Mondays! That's the level of humor we're bringing to this episode, as your Improvie Team fixes 2004's Garfield, starring Bill Murray and Jamie Kennedy Or Breckin Meyer Or Someone Like That. We took an insufferably dull movie about the famous CGI orange cat, and made it into a movie about a bunch of real life animals who HATE the man Andy Serkis and want him dead.

Also, we fix the trailers for Another Soul and Skyscraper

Hey guys this time we go all bold-like to some places that no folks ain't ever been to! Meaning, we fixed a Star Trek movie! Specifically, we fixed the most old-guys-climbing-ladders-centric Star Trek movie, Star Trek Generations, and because Phil and James REALLY want you to know what nerds they are, we slapped a Dungeons and Dragons campaign on top of it and made Spell Trek: The Next Jammeration, so get ready for lots of talk about classes and alignments for all your favorite Trek types, like: Half-Orc Worf! Rakish Rogue Riker! And Wesley Crusher, the useless Halfling Bard!

Also, we fix the trailer for Bohemian Rhapsody (but we did not fix the damage it did to James' soul) and the trailer for Adventures in Public School 

Hey hey hey peebles! Continuing our long standing trend from last week, we watched another bad late-90s superhero movie, only this time it was the beautiful horse-boy Billy Zane in The Phantom. While this movie did have a very pretty Billy Zane in it, it was also totes boring, so we bashed it and crashed it until it became Stop, Or My Mom Will Darkhawk, a mom-based superhero romp starring Maya Rudolph, Dylan Minnette, and Aidan Gillen, where a mom of a superhero--*record scratch*-- becomes hero?!

Also we fixed the trailers for Another Goddamn Shit-Ass Robin Hood Movul and Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again

If Space Jam taught James anything, it's that movies starring basketball players are very very good always, but oops not this time! This week the Movie ImproversTM watched Steel with Shaquille O'Neal, where he plays a fella who builds himself a suit out of foam that's supposed to look like metal and fights crime. Hoo boy is this movie a hot pile of trash fires, but not to worry, we fixed it up into the much much better Gregular Guy starring Rosa Salazar, Terry Crewes, Catherine Keener, and Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson.

We also don't fix any trailers this week, whaaaaaa? We tried something fun and different instead. Take a listen to find out!

Hey guys, y'know how we used to do a differenter podcast and there was a third person on it? And her name was Mae? Well guess what, she's here on this podcast this time! Mae stopped in about 2/3 of the way through our recording talking about Monster Trucks (a movie that actually turned out to not be that bad but we fixed it anyway) and took on the role of producer to tell James and Phil that their ideas are bad and they should feel bad. Using Phil and Mae's favorite anything ever, My Hero Academia, as well as the Cars universe for inspiration we fixed it up into Monster Eat Trunk World (Truck World), about a bunch of sentient cars with Monster Truck superpowers stopping an evil oil-drinking monster from murdering their friends. Also, The Shape of Water comes up an awful lot in this episode, because it's very good and we're very into people fucking strange beasts.

DISCLAIMER: James would like it known that he did not endorse that title and it does not have his blessing and he is sorry for it.

Hey you guys, remember how Ancient Egypt was chock fulla white folks? No? Oh, well huh Alex Proyas, director of Gods of Egypt seems to disagree. Oh and also he made a bad movie, oops Alex! So we watched this Gods of "Egypt" movie and we fixed it up into the much much better Taramorphs, presented by Laura Linney playing Tara Reid. Its about a group of rowdy Egyptian teens who turn into animals with the help of their friends the Andalites to fight evil grey brain slugs, so it's actually Animorphs, but Tara insisted her name be in the title, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Also we fixed the trailers for Followers and Johnny English Strikes Again

Well gang we went back to the ol' Diesel Well awful quick, because this week we watched Vin Diesel's extended D&D cosplay video, The Last Witch Hunter also co-starring Michael Caine, Rose Leslie, and Elijah Wood. Someone gave our boy Vin $90 million to film a movie about his own Dungeons and Dragons character, so we went ahead and did basically the same thing, and we came out the other side with Dungeons and Dragons 2: Dungement Day, a spoopy horror movie starring Topher Grace, Alan Cumming, and a boy from Dunkirk.

Also we fix the trailers for Bus Party to Hell and Shifting Gears

Hey gang, do you like VIDYA GAMEZ? What about MOVIES based on VIDYA GAMEZ? Oh, right, no one likes that second one. Well we watched one of those this week, Assassin's Creed starring Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard, and sure enough it was bad again this time! So we fixed it up into a sort of 15th-century Wild at Heart, and we didn't hide that fact at all and we called it Lo! Thou Art Wylde at Hearte, starring Madeleine Petsch, Saiorse Ronan, Nicolas Cage, and our dear dear friend Laura Dern. Be glad, guys, Phil almost made us make a Waluigi movie.

Also, we fix the trailers for Status Update and No Postage Necessary
