On the thirty-eighth episode of Much Review About Nothing we review Maleficent: Mistress of Evil (2019). Again, we must point out that we haven't seen the movie. That is 100% not a joke. Everything we know about the film comes from the trailer, reviews, articles, and our own biased preconceptions. Listen along as we ponder burning questions like: Has Satan Goat finally returned, or is it a case of mistaken identity? Can good cheekbones save a film? Who’s up for a fun round of “Where’s Chiwetel Ejiofor?” What’s with all the Phoenix symbolism recently? Why does no one in this film seem to care that a whole bunch of fairy genocide has taken place? Did Princess Aurora enact a fantasy world version of Operation Paperclip? But, most importantly, how did Disney manage to secure the inestimable talents of Michael Pafeffer in the powerhouse, dual role of Mushroom and Hedgehog?

Welcome boils and ghouls to the thirty-seventh episode of Much Review About Nothing: our spooky, spectacular Halloween Special! This time we reviewed The Grudge (2020). Again, we must point out that we haven't seen the movie. That is 100% not a joke. Everything we know about the film comes from the trailer, reviews, articles, and our own biased preconceptions. Listen along as we ponder burning questions like: Are the Grudge ghosts just sticklers for good hygiene? Is there a ghost bureaucracy that handles who grudges who? Was this movie caused by a grudge against Hollywood, or vice versa? How badly did The Jerks disrupt filming when they invaded the set? Was Jake’s “imaginary” friend Donald a lot more real than we first thought? But, most importantly, is this movie complex Japanese propaganda intended to undermine our faith in law enforcement (as suggested by totally sane political theorist, and frequent show guest, Oscar Albert)?

On the thirty-sixth episode of Much Review About Nothing we review Mulan (2020). Again, we must point out that we haven't seen the movie. We only know one thing: “At least a mosquito stops sucking when you slap it.” Listen along as we ponder burning questions like: Why didn’t they make Boring Kahn a little heftier? Are movies released on streaming going to be supervised like proctored tests? What made Mulan’s sister such a GREAT MISTAKE!? How many edgy jokes can one film inspire? Who on earth are Cricket the Prospector and The West Coast Jersey Fenix? But, most importantly, is this movie actually a secret Star Wars movie leading up to a new trilogy where Mulan and Rey (and eventually Captain Larson) fly across the universe and absolutely demolish every evil threat without the slightest bit of effort?

 

Billy’s Alternate Viewing Suggestions:

The Assassin (2015) directed by Hsiao-Hsien Hou.

The Witch: Part 1 – The Subversion (2018) directed by Hoon-Jung Park. (Billy also apologizes for botching the name of this film multiple times, lol.)

On the thirty-fifth episode of Much Review About Nothing we review The New Mutants (2020…or 2019 or 2018). Again, we must point out that we haven't seen the movie. That is 100% not a joke. Everything we know about the film comes from the trailer, reviews, articles, and our own biased preconceptions. Listen along as we ponder burning questions like: Can you film an entire movie with only six people acting as cast and crew? Is it two bears or two wolves? Would melanin-altering abilities be useful to have? Is the fear of coal miners a serious phobia that’s plaguing tens of people? What copyright loophole allowed Batman, Slenderman, and the Boogeyman to show up in this film? But, most importantly, why is so much of this absurdly long film focused on chair-cutting and cat-wrangling?

On the thirty-fourth episode of Much Review About Nothing we review Doolittle (2020). Again, we must point out that we haven't seen the movie. That is 100% not a joke. Everything we know about the film comes from the trailer, reviews, articles, and our own biased preconceptions. Listen along as we ponder burning questions like: Is Dr. Doolittle basically just another Netflix Tiger King? Are the animals in this film from a different, highly off-putting dimension? Can Doolittle’s lesser-known brother, the loveable Dr. Treelittle, actually talk to trees or is he just mentally unstable? Where in the world is Doolittle’s dead wife? How do Peter Rabbit and the Australians fit into all this? But, most importantly, does Doolittle gradually fall to the dark side and weaponize his linguistic abilities to invade Britain with ferocious animals, thus forcing Treelittle to step in and rally an arboreal army against him in the sequel?

Dr. Doomlittle Vs. Dr. Treelittle (Never coming to a theater near you, because theaters don’t exist anymore!)

IT’S FEEDING TIME! On the thirty-third episode of Much Review About Nothing we review Artemis Fowl (2020). Again, we must point out that we haven't seen the movie. That is 100% not a joke. Everything we know about the film comes from the trailer, reviews, articles, and our own biased preconceptions. Listen along as we ponder burning questions like: At what point does a poor book adaptation become false advertisement? Do you think Josh God will forgive us of our sins? Who would win in a fight, Josh God or the vile beast James Corden? Did Kenneth Branagh intentionally sabotage Artemis Fowl by using a version of the novel that was clumsily orated to him (by Josh God)? Should production crews be disciplined in the town square for movies like Artemis Fowl or Cats? But most importantly, who is the mysterious Film Giver and should his bestowment of unmarked film reels be feared?

On the thirty-second episode of Much Review About Nothing we review Spies In Disguise (2019). Again, we must point out that we haven't seen the movie. That is 100% not a joke. Everything we know about the film comes from the trailer, reviews, articles, and our own biased preconceptions. Listen along as we ponder burning questions like: Do you remember when we all fell in love with Tom Holland’s trademark stupidity? What are the moral and physical implications of transforming into a pigeon? Does the world really need non-violent spy films? Are dogs actually the Devil’s pet? What do Dwayne Johnson’s malformed twin brothers: Dawate and Dange have to do with any of this? But most importantly, do all the characters in the film sit down and watch the film for themselves once the credits roll, providing color commentary and effectively doubling the movie’s runtime?

On the thirty-first episode of Much Review About Nothing we review Bloodshot (2020). Again, we must point out that we haven't seen the movie. That is 100% not a joke. Everything we know about the film comes from the trailer, reviews, articles, and our own biased preconceptions. Listen along as we ponder burning questions like: Is this film, which stars a partially immortal super-soldier, somewhat unrealistic? When will CGI finally replace actors and keep them from whining at us during award shows? Why was the original Inspector Gadget movie so oddly dark? How can Vin Diesel be so cringey and so likeable at the same time? Does Bloodshot ever wield his amputated arms like nunchaku? But most importantly, is this movie actually the heart-warming tale of a man learning to overcome his emotional problems and move on after his recent divorce thanks to the power of regenerative nanites and wanton sci-fi violence?
