For the upcoming release of Dune: Part 2, the fellas keep the spice flowing with the spiciest movie of the ’90s. It’s Spice World, the Hard Day’s Night riff starring the Spice Girls and pretty much every other British person you can think of. Why is this a thing, innit?

February 27, 2024 Argylle (2024)

Matthew Vaughn returns to the world of quippy spies, dumb action and obnoxious needle drops to deliver one of the biggest box office flops in recent memory. Argylle (note the double “L”s) stars Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Rockwell, Henry Cavill, Dua Lipa, John Cena, Bryan Cranston, Catherine O’Hara, Samuel L. Jackson and a host of other overqualified actors that were surely elated to cash their oversized checks from Apple Inc. Nick, Nico and Adam are here to break down each frame of this cinematic abomination, in an effort to document and count EVERY. SINGLE. TWIST. And much like the studio after checking the box office returns, the numbers may shock you.

February 14, 2024 Accidental Love (2015)

This Valentine’s Day, Why is This a Thing? cordially invites you to get NAILED! Once upon a time, in pre-Obamacare USA, there was a David O. Russell film called Nailed. The biting satire boasted a star-studded ensemble (including Jessica Biel, Jake Gyllenhaal and James Marsden) and a how-the-sausage-is-made script from political nepo-baby Kristin Gore. But a tumultuous production left the project incomplete and abandoned until 2015. That year, David O. Russell was coming off of three consecutive best picture nominations, Jake Gyllenhaal’s profile had risen even higher and a plunderous group of producers saw an opportunity to strike while the iron was hot. Thus, a shoddy cut of the film was cobbled together; and where Nailed once stood, Accidental Love rose from the ashes. Nick, Nico and Adam break down all this madness and look for some salvageable remains within the cinematic train wreck.
