Rebooted

CW: In this episode we discuss violence involving children and pedophilia. 

In this episode, a father and daughter with psychic powers flee from a secret government agency trying to kill them. Along the way, they ruin the lives of an innocent farmer, blow up a few police cars and set a bunch of things on fire. 

Look, I'll level with you, we're not quite sure what to say about this one. 1984's Firestarter was a meandering slog through a labrynth of wasted potential, and while the 2022 reboot may have cut out some of the fluff, it still left a bad taste in our mouth. 

One thing we do know: Stephen King deserves better than this.

In this episode, Jimmy Buffet rescues a couple margaritas. Literally nothing else happens. 

Originally released in 1993, Jurrasic Park explores what would happen if a mad scientist devoted his time to resurrecting the dinosaurs. 

Spoiler alert: bad things happen. 

20 some years later, science...uh...finds a way to not only make more dinosaurs, but also genetically engineer smarter ones. What could possibly go wrong? 

Everything. Everything goes wrong. 

Honestly, it's utterly shocking that the folks smart enough to bring dinosaurs back from extinction were also somehow too stupid to stop and think "You know, this is a really bad idea." 

I suppose the only thing left to do is throw in a couple kids to raise the stakes.

In this episode we set sail on a deadly journey through Egypt with Death on the Nile. 

Originally released in 1978, the film adaptation of Agatha Christie's classic whodunnit boasts an impressive cast including Angela Lansbury and Maggie Smith, yet suffers from a distinct lack of pacing. 

Remade in 2022, the modern reboot sports an over saturated color palate likely curated by folks who forgot what it was like to go outside. 

Though we did finally get some context for Poirot's glorious moustache, the new film still leaves something to be desired.

In this episode, we learn to count to 12...or wait...was it 9? Is that the same kid? Ugh. Whatever. Just get in the car already. We're late! 

This week we're bringing you another threeboot (patent pending) with Cheaper by the Dozen. 

Originally released in 1950, this movie tells the true story of efficiency experts Frank and Lillian Gilbreth and their 12 children. 

Then, somewhere between 1950 and 2022, Disney dropped just about everything (including three whole children) and delivered a disappointing reboot that really only shares a title with the original. 

Honestly. This would have made a whole lot more sense with a title of Yours Mine and Ours, but now we're just splitting hairs. 

Where were we? What? Steve Martin? Right, right. Poor middle child. We'll get to that. We promise.

Who you gonna call? 

Nearly 40 years after the Ghostbusters saved New York, Egon Spengler's granddaughter discovers a hidden bunker beneath an old farm house and teams up with his awkwardly mute ghost to save the world. 

Ghostbusters: Afterlife is a "requel" that is bursting with nostalgia while also putting a new, and (slightly) more intense spin on the franchise drawing inspiration (and cast members) from shows like Stranger Things. 

With Paul Rudd acting as an anchor to the campy humor of the original, and a complete lack of references to 2016's flop of a reboot, Afterlife is the Ghostbusters revival you've been waiting for.

What's a threeboot? We're not sure, but it's 2 hours long and has more side tracks than a Bethesda RPG. 

In this episode, we learn that it's perfectly acceptable to be bat $#@! crazy as long as you help catch a serial killer. And root out police corruption. And pick fights with mobsters. And sort of thwart a cat burglar (maybe?). 

We're checking in with the World's Greatest Detective to see what's new in Gotham City since Warner Bros replaced Batfleck, and hoo boy...there is a lot to take in. 

That's right, ladies and gents. It's a Batman episode! 

Join us as we embark on a harrowing journey to keep Mike's ADHD fueled fangasm in check and string together even a shred of coherent conversation about the only superhero franchise to be rebooted more times than Spider-Man.

In this episode, Ikea tries to assassinate Bruce Campbell, and some genius thinks its a good idea to open a book made of human flesh that he found in a murder basement. What could possibly go wrong? 

Oh. That's right. Literally everything. 

Grab your boomstick, and join us as we dive into the campy, blood-soaked perfection of Sam Raimi's horror classic: The Evil Dead.

Do you like scary movies? 
In this episode, we revisit one of the most iconic horror franchises of the 90s because we apparently have a soft spot for Wes Craven. (Can you blame us?) 

Set in the fictional town of Woodsboro, California, Scream follows Sydney Prescott as she confronts a derranged killer in a Halloween costume determined to end her life.

This horror classic manages to poke fun at the genre as a whole with self referential dark humor while still maintaining a suspensful tone throughout.
