THE MISFITS MOVIE REVIEW

A team of international bad-ass thieves who do what they do not out of greed but to give back to those in need are gathered together by a briefly mysterious rich benefactor named “The Prince” to take on the biggest heist against evil yet: to steal a ton of gold from a privately owned prison in Abu Dhabi that is being used to fund terrorism. But to pull it off, they’ll need one more member on their team, a debonair gentleman thief that is, of course, Pierce Brosnan. Problem is, he’s not so philanthropic with his criminal efforts. This weird comedy-heist-action pile-up was directed by Renny Harlin who I remind you, has actually made some pretty decent big dumb movies before, but this one is just dumb. Listen to Chris, Ben, Jennifer, and Lewayne ruminate on how to ruin a perfectly good premise.

Christopher Lawrence Cox (Founder, Da Boss)

Born in the wilds of northern Virginia, in 1992 Chris managed to put all of his survival skills to use and barely escaped with his life to Austin Texas, where ever since he’s dabbled in everything from plumber’s assistant to sandwich maker, from band to bar management. An opportunity to see theatrical release films for free by becoming a critic on a local public access show called “The Reel Deal” turned into a full-time job when Chris and his friends decided to take it to the internet. They built the site Spill.com, adding multiple podcasts and animated features, to no small amount of success. During this time, a fortuitous friendship sprung up between Chris and young Brian Salisbury, who was also a local film critic, and they merged their forces of will, and their laundry list of ideas for shows, to eventually build this paradise you see before you.

Ben Glasthal (Highly Suspect Review, Screener Squad, Breakfast Pub, Unstabletop Gamers, Video and Audio Editor, Assistant Site Manager)

Born in Boston, then ending up in Dallas, Texas in the early 2000s, Ben has always had a passion for film. He started in film school not long after where he launched MovieReelizations.com where he still writes reviews to this day. He’s since moved to Austin where he has been also hopping on podcasts and both editing and shooting videos for One of Us. A fan of films from almost all genres, and many that predate him more than makes sense, he is anything if not eclectic in what he’s watching at any point. For the rest of his free time, he can be found biking, drinking craft beer, being an amateur photographer, and playing video games by himself or on Twitch. He’s best found on Instagram or Twitter as @MovieReelBen.
