138 - Mickey 17 REVIEW! The problem is NOT the movie's politics
In this episode, we discuss the exciting news of an anime adaptation of All You Need Is Kill, exploring whether the anime format can bring something new to the table. We also check out the first images from Mortal Kombat 2 and give our thoughts on the teaser for Happy Gilmore 2—is nostalgia enough to bring the franchise back for another round?
Next, we share our spoiler-free mini-review of One Of Them Days, a film that blends humor and heart. How does it measure up? Tune in to find out!
Finally, we get into the main review of the episode, Mickey 17 directed by Bong Joon-ho, starring Robert Pattinson. We dive into this sci-fi adventure (spoiler-free) and discuss why it is failing at the box office, followed by a spoiler-filled discussion where we dig deeper into the plot and characters.
