You're Wrong

From Elon Musk's Twitter shenanigans, to crypto's meteoric nose dive into the dirt, to the FBI releasing the boomer's guide to (how to show you're completely clueless on) the Internet, this is April (and the slightest smidgen of May) 2022 in pop culture news (poorly) commented on by 4 nerds: The Monthly Roundup!

In a truly suprising turn of events, the nerds decided to watch a movie about a comic book character, of all things: The Batman. I know, right? Who could have possibly seen this coming? 🤡

Anyhoo, the actual surprising thing here was that they all had pretty positive things to say about this movie. Well, Chris, Luciano and Matt had, at any rate; it seems Spencer's "adventures" with Wolfie are not done yet...

It's been a while since the nerds duked it out in defence of their picks for something, so they're back with yet another battle royale! This time, they're trying battling it out to decide who the most powerful wizard is. Well... wizard, mage, sorcerer. You get my meaning.

The thing is, their chosen champions this time were somewhat... unusual, shall we say... in comparison to previous battle royales, which made for some interesting battles ("bizarre" and "interesting" are basically the same thing, right?). And Matt's Scenarios™ were actually original, which was a nice change of pace. They also managed to keep the violence and blood levels to a minimum, which is frankly surprising... downright unbelievable, really.

I guess what I'm saying is that this episode was weird, OK? But, like, good weird. I think.

At long last, the missing nerd has come home! However, it seems something happened during the time he was away that has left him... strange. And this being Spencer we're talking about, that is quite the bar to clear. He continues to bet recklessly, though, so some semblance of his old self is still in there somewhere. In any case, the story is much better told by the victi— er, protagonist himself.

As Spencer recounted his harrowing tale, he and the other nerds did manage to find time to talk about some upcoming movies and series they're excited about, though.

The trailers:

• Dual (featuring Karen Gilan, Aaron Paul and Luciano's boring philosophical questions)
• Memory (featuring Liam Neeson playing against type... as an aging hitman 😐) 
• NOPE (both the name of the Jordan Peele movie and what Spencer said a lot during his time away...)
• Obi-Wan Kenobi (Teaser) (wait, the You're Wrong nerds talked about Star Wars in an episode? Wow, what a fucking suprise 🙄)

From gamified hand-jibbers, to Activision-Blizzard still being handed L's left, right and centre, to the Oscar's unexpected mainstream relevance (for completely wrong but still hilarious reasons), this is March 2022 in pop culture news (poorly) commented on by 4 nerds: The Monthly Roundup!

This month, the usual nerds (still sans Spencer) are joined by another nerd: their buddy (and recurring guest) Nick.

The final episode of G.U.I.N.N.E.S.S. is upon us and, really, what kind of a You're Wrong mini-series would this be if the nerds didn't find some way to talk about Star Wars? So, to close off this epic event, Chris, Luciano and Matt are joined once again by their buddy Mike to talk about Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, a movie as ambitious and hyped up (at the time) as its title is long.

Everyone had very personal experiences with this movie, from self-gaslighting into thinking it was a masterpiece to watching it literally several dozen times in the span of a month (and everything in between), and that insanity certainly shone through in the conversation — which included a way too long discussion about the midi-chlorian count of several prominent Jedi. And that wasn't even the craziest part.

The second installment of G.U.I.N.N.E.S.S. is all about the unpolished tur— I mean gem that is Darkman! On the heels of Tim Burton's Batman, acclaimed auteur Sam Raimi pondered thoroughly and concluded "hey, I bet I can do that, too!". And, by God, do it he did.

The nerds (still Spencer-less, unfortunately) are once again joined by the ever-jovial Scott to eviscer— I mean, analyse and discuss their thoughts and opinions on what might be the most 90's movie of all 90's movies.

Here at You're Wrong, the term "March Madness" has nothing to do with basketball or the NCAA. Instead, this is the month we celebrate just pure madness, which is why we're launching the much-awaited G.U.I.N.N.E.S.S.!

In the first episode of this epic event, Chris, Luciano and Matt were joined by Matt's better-half Laura to tackle a classic Liam Neeson vehicle: Cold Pursuit. It's, uh... it's a movie. With, like, actors and stuff. Well, a lot of their characters die (sorry... spoiler alert, I guess). Also, some of them just kind of, like, fuck off mid-movie and never come back. It truly is a thespian masterpiece.

What's that? What does G.U.I.N.N.E.S.S. mean? Well, that's too obvious – if you don't know it already, I'm not gonna be the one to explain it to you. 😤

From Capcom finally giving everyone a face full of Ryu's dong, to Crunchyroll now owning ALL of the anime, to Harry Potter playing "Weird" Al Yankovic in his biopic, this is February 2022 (and a dash of March) in pop culture news (poorly) commented on by 4 nerds: The Monthly Roundup!

These nerds, they don't do things by halves, I gotta hand it to them. They had already accepted 2 of Spencer's movie recommendations (The Green Knight and The Matrix Ressurections) for review episodes, so when he suggested a third — Marvel's Eternals — they didn't even waver: they accepted it and decided to go for broke in what has now been dubbed the Skidmark Trilogy, a trifecta for the ages!

Still, there are some surprises in this one, both for them as spectators and for us as listeners, and Matt has also come up with a couple of zany new questions for them to answer. All in all, a nice way to cap off movie reviews suggested by Spencer (probably forever, if I'm honest).
