Red Team Reviews

Welp. Trevor’s upset, and TJ is relatively calm (for him). That can only mean one thing. Dogs and cats are living together, folks, we got ourselves a "Blue Team" episode. We're digging into the mid-aughts sensation that was Rush Hour, and boy time sure does pass when your not lazily using tired cliches and stereotypes for cheap laughs! Join us for 2000’s movie bingo, diminishing returns, surprise Don Cheadle, and even more surprise Tim Curry!

It's time to play the intro, it's time to make some critical insights, it's time to talk about the Muppets on the Red Team Pod tonight! Yes, we're here for some good wholesome content in our season full of never-ending franchises with the Muppets! We're taking a look at the original, The Muppet Movie, the towering parody of Muppet Treasure Island, and the oft debated resurgence in The Muppets (2011). Join us as we lament the constant Kermit-Piggy drama, regularly return to Treasure Planet comparisons, and determine whether or not we are men or muppets (still debatable).

Okay. Okay. There's no time. We're talking about just *some* of the movies in the massive event that is Marvel's Phase Three, and already we’ve got like 500 notes, with 250 just on Captain America: Civil War. We’ve also got Doctor Strange, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2, Thor Ragnarok, and Ant-Man and the Wasp (yes you read that right, listen to the episode to know why we picked those specifically). Join us as Trevor defends the honor of the MCU, Doctor Strange hurls us into the darkest timeline, and all the while we desperately try not to reference Infinity War.

Happy Halloween, Gotham Scum! Welcome to a full episode Reject or Renew, where we're talking about the legendary cartoon classic, Batman: the Animated Series. Talk about perfectly timed for the season, we've got 26 episodes of classic villains and plot tropes, soooo strap in! Join us as we discuss painfully  generic gangsters, villains on the right side of history, poor use of dissociative identity disorder, and just how dang important it is to get Bruce Wayne's character right.

TJ must have been replaced by [spoiler] because he has willingly agreed to do his first dive into horror movies! Long live the new Prince of Spoops, Jordan Peele, as we jump into his breakout horror films, Get Out and Us. We ain't scare. We ain't scare no things. Join us as we discuss inherent racial overtones, the complacency of white women, convoluted backstories, and ask TJ to finally shut up about Avatar: The Last Airbender. (He will not.)

MOR TAL KOM BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!!! See? That opener is almost as extra as these movies. Clearing up (albeit a little late) our coverage of video game movies from last month, we're looking at the insanity that is 1995's original Mortal Kombat and it's much anticipated reboot. Join us for cryptic Palpatine-esque mentors, excessive visual effects budgets, a TJ rewrite, and souls exchanging possession per Shang Tsungs will. Won't someone just give Sonya Blade something to do?

HEY! YOU! WHATCHA GON DO? I hope it's not make an aggrandizing sequel to an otherwise perfectly fine movie. Looking at you, LeBron. We're back for a two-segment episode where we'll be covering both the original Space Jam and Space Jam: a New Legacy, followed by the Reject or Renew second season return of Schitt's Creek. It's all about character growth; just, ya know, in one case it's methodically delivered slowly l, and with many different characters over the course of two seasons, and in the other it's purely in the back of LeBron's forced parental line readings. Join us as we poorly recap the career of Michael Jordan (not Michael B. Jordan), debate the relevance of the Looney Tunes today, and fold in the cheese for our tax write offs.

Welcome to part three of our month of video game movies, as we look at the proverbial before and after film adaptations of the (checks notes) most successful interactive video-game character in history*… Lara Croft. We check so many bad movie boxes this time around that we genuinely think we should make a bingo game out of it. Join us for badly written puzzle sequences, warranted disparagement of Jon Voight, poor archeology and character development across two decades of “progress”, and the inevitable, but far-too-long conversation about a video game character's historic bust. Please, just give me National Treasure. That's all I'm asking for.

* = according to Google’s A.I.

ROLLIN AROUND AT THE SPEED OF SOUND - YOU TEACH ME AND I'LL TEACH YOU! It's time for some 90's kid nostalgia babeeeeey! Here we are, in week two of our month of video game movies, and while these are newbies in the cinema, the franchises are far from newbies in our hearts: Sonic the Hedgehog & Detective Pikachu (well, Pokémon in general, but close enough). We're here to evaluate Jim Carrey is actually acting in literally any scene he was in, and then ironically do the same for Justice Smith. Ouch, that even hurt to type. Long histories, many opinions, and lecturing overpaid executives who just... like you guys must be bad at darts because you're always missing the mark somehow. Join us as we discuss the merits of photorealistic fur, how to effectively start a new film franchise, and thank our lucky stars we did NOT get that original Sonic.
