Much Review About Nothing

Sorry for the long radio silence folks, but we're back! And assuming the new mixer didn't let us down, we're sounding better than ever. Welcome to the third Limelight Special: the short-form side series where we shine a “limelight” on films and pop-culture events that have grabbed our interest. This time around we decided to lift our self-imposed moratorium against mentioning Star Wars on the podcast and delved into the franchise's small-screen outings, particularly The Book of Boba Fett. Was the legendary bounty hunter done justice? It's a Disney Star Wars production…what do you think? Anyways, if you're interested in why we were gone for so long, don't worry, we explain all of that as well. Enjoy the show!

Happy holidays everyone and welcome to the forty-ninth episode of Much Review About Nothing: our merrily misanthropic Cynical Christmas Special! This time we delved into another festive animated trifle: Elliot the Littlest Reindeer (2018). Again, we must point out that we haven't seen the movie. That is 100% not a joke. Everything we know about the film comes from the trailer, reviews, articles, and our own biased preconceptions. Listen along as we ponder burning questions like: Can any animal, including humans, become one of Santa's reindeer? Is Eliott part of a scheme to get Santa sued for his discriminatory hiring practices? Why does the evil businesswoman only harvest cutesy failing farms for meat? Does this film appeal to blind-deaf children? Who are the Yule Lads and why do so many of them lick things? But most importantly, is the so-called “Elf Conspiracy” an underhanded attempt to replace Christmas with the lesser, prison originated holiday known as Kwanzaa?   Cynical Christmas Itinerary: Elliot the Littlest Reindeer (2018) Review Our Miniature Pony Experience The Yule Lads   Email: muchreviewan@gmail.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/muchreviewpod Twitter: @muchreviewpod Billy's Twitter: @supergruesome Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/muchreviewpod

On the forty-eighth episode of Much Review About Nothing we reviewed Eternals (2021). Again, we must point out that we haven't seen the movie. That is 100% not a joke. Everything we know about the film comes from the trailer, reviews, articles, and our own biased preconceptions. Listen along as we ponder burning questions like: Why are the Eternals plagued by so many fundamental design flaws? Is the Celestial terrible at his job (and should be fired)? Is the Celestial much more gifted at the marketing side of things? How bad must a film be if literal mind control can't even make you like it? Did we just find out that History Channel's Ancient Aliens show might actually be true? But most importantly, can this actually be considered a quote-unquote “superhero” movie if our protagonists' primary goal is to viciously pummel a newborn?

On the forty-seventh episode of Much Review About Nothing, horror movies take center stage because it's time for our annual Halloween extravaganza! This year we decided to momentarily break away from the film review format and do something unique that we've dubbed: The Spookyman Special! We'll be taking an in-depth look at four monster men of the silver screen and deciding who is the spookiest of them all. The contestants are: The Empty Man, The Bye Bye Man, The Candyman, and Slenderman. Again, we must point out that we haven't seen the movies in question. That is 100% not a joke. Everything we know about these films comes from the trailers, reviews, articles, and our own biased preconceptions. Listen along as we ponder burning questions like: When will The Empty Man upgrade from the “bridge and bottle” system? Exactly how many elephants and large mammals does The Bye Bye Man share his movie with? Did The Candyman benefit from the release of 1971's Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory? Why can't Slenderman afford better lighting? But, most importantly, what the heck is a Tulpa and how do you tell if you've actually been a Tulpa all along? Happy Halloween everyone!

On the forty-sixth episode of Much Review About Nothing we reviewed Space Jam: A New Legacy (2021). Again, we must point out that we haven't seen the movie. That is 100% not a joke. Everything we know about the film comes from the trailer, reviews, articles, and our own biased preconceptions. Listen along as we ponder burning questions like: Did Warner Bros. pluck the Looney Tunes from their native soil and imprison them in a computer server? What does Don Cheedo have in store for humanity? Why do people keep stealing King James' head? Whose idiotic decision was it to make Lola Bunny unattractive? Is this movie just shameless advertisement with a narrative about creating a movie that's nothing but shameless advertisement? But, most importantly…PORKY PIG DID WHAT!?

Welcome to the second Limelight Special: the short-form side series where we shine a “limelight” on films and pop-culture events that have grabbed our interest. This time around we took a look at the insane cast of the upcoming Mario movie from Illumination. That studio alone is already a major red flag, but Chris Pratt as the titular plumber also has us scratching our heads. It's either going to end up like Heath Ledger's Joker or become the dictionary definition of shallow, celebrity voice casting. Regardless, we haven't been this excited about a movie in a long time!

On the forty-fifth episode of Much Review About Nothing we reviewed Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway (2021). Again, we must point out that we haven't seen the movie. That is 100% not a joke. Everything we know about the film comes from the trailer, reviews, articles, and our own biased preconceptions. Listen along as we ponder burning questions like: What crimes has Peter committed since we last saw him? Is this movie an unofficial follow-up to Animal Farm? Why has Domhnall Gleeson, a.k.a. Hux, become Hollywood's designated punching bag? Has Benjamin gotten fatter? What was Oscar Albert's opinion on the first movie? But most importantly, will Rocket defeat the McTavish brothers in the big race and will Peter be able to escape MacGregor's infamous mechanical, clockwork cheese roller?   Email: muchreviewan@gmail.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/muchreviewpod Twitter: @muchreviewpod Billy's Instagram Comic: @boringworldcomic Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/muchreviewpod

On the forty-fourth punch-drunk episode of Much Review About Nothing we reviewed Mortal Kombat (2021). Again, we must point out that we haven't seen the movie. That is 100% not a joke. Everything we know about the film comes from the trailer, reviews, articles, and our own biased preconceptions. Listen along as we ponder burning questions like: Why is there no death tournament featured in this alleged Mortal Kombat movie? Who's the genius that traded Johnny Cage for Cole Young? Is Arcana the new Midi-chlorians? Why does racism give you superpowers? If the fatalities in this movie aren't real, then what was Lewis Tan seeing on set? But most importantly, when will an adaptation of this franchise finally have the self-awareness to show someone winning a match by spamming “leg-sweep” or “uppercut” over and over? Come on, we all did it at some point!

On the forty-third episode of Much Review About Nothing we reviewed Tom and Jerry (2021) with help from a special guest: our good friend John! We’ve dragged him into many of our previous misadventures, so it was only right he should finally end up on our absurd little show. Again, we must point out that we haven't seen the movie. That is 100% not a joke. Everything we know about the film comes from the trailer, reviews, articles, and our own biased preconceptions. Listen along as we ponder burning questions like: Will they ever release the extended cut of Tom’s interview scene? Did this movie rip off Spiderman 2 by also being set in New York? Is Tom and Jerry’s endless struggle an allegory for the often-ambiguous nature of oppressor versus victim throughout human history? Will this film turn children into raging alcoholics? Are we going to be producing a PSA on the disadvantaged subset of people known as “Review Dependents” who can only ask things via online film reviews? But most importantly, is the world ready for Tom and Jerry’s unexpectedly boundary-pushing message: “It’s not gay to kiss your bros”?

Welcome to our very first ever: Limelight Special! We'll be using this new side series to periodically give our two-cents on films and pop-culture events without having to dedicate a full-length episode to them. This time around we're delving into the four hour, mopey superhero extravaganza that many thought would never materialize: The Snyder Cut. We haven't seen it, but we thought we'd chime in regardless. Listen along as we discuss Cyborg's team-hopping nature, Martha Manhunter, the potential of Movie DLCs and Lootboxes, our childhood film-viewing habits, and more!

Corden’s Wardens, salute! On the forty-second episode of Much Review About Nothing we reviewed Superintelligence (2020). Again, we must point out that we haven't seen the movie. That is 100% not a joke. Everything we know about the film comes from the trailer, reviews, articles, and our own biased preconceptions. Listen along as we ponder burning questions like: Does every form of life despise James Corden? #WhatWasHisCrime? When will Melissa McCarthy stop punishing us and find a new career? Is this film a Rom-Com about an AI trying to successfully facilitate a Rom-Com? Speaking of which, will the Plot-O-Tron be our ally against James Corden if we pay it enough? Can we please just watch Gladiator instead? But most importantly, if all Four Corpulents of The Apocalypse are ever assembled in one movie will it actually bring about the destruction of mankind?

On the forty-first episode of Much Review About Nothing we celebrated our second anniversary with a true-blue, legitimate movie review. Yes that’s right, for the first time ever we’ve momentarily become Much Review About Something. Sure, we’re over three weeks late (our anniversary is January 22nd) and we don't have much experience talking about movies we’ve actually seen, but novelty goes a long way, right? The film we chose to discuss was the much-maligned Street Fighter (1994) because it's integral to the creation of our podcast. Spoiler alert: we absolutely love it. So, stash away your Bison Bucks and get comfy in your hover-chair, let’s DO watch a movie!   Email: muchreviewan@gmail.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/muchreviewpod Twitter: @muchreviewpod Billy’s Twitter: @supergruesome Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/muchreviewpod

New year, same goofy podcast! On the fortieth, borderline NSFW episode of Much Review About Nothing we reviewed Wonder Woman 1984 (2020). Again, we must point out that we haven't seen the movie. That is 100% not a joke. Everything we know about the film comes from the trailer, reviews, articles, and our own biased preconceptions. Listen along as we ponder burning questions like: Did Patty Jenkins intend to film the longest movie of all time? Why has Wonder Woman become a sexual deviant who body-slams children into the pavement? Is Chris Pine a phantom? How did this movie rip off Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs? Will Wonder Woman be able to save her past and present self from Maxwell Lord’s time-traveling drone weapon using the Diana Prince Alchemist? (Don’t ask us, we’re just going by what the Plot-O-Tron said.) But, most importantly, if something has “more ticks than a farmer’s dog” is that a good thing or a bad thing? #JusticeForHandsomeGuy   Email: muchreviewan@gmail.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/muchreviewpod Twitter: @muchreviewpod Billy’s Twitter: @supergruesome Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/muchreviewpod

Happy holidays everyone and welcome to the thirty-ninth episode of Much Review About Nothing: our merrily misanthropic Cynical Christmas Special! This time we delved into animated blasphemy and reviewed The Star (2017). Again, we must point out that we haven't seen the movie. That is 100% not a joke. Everything we know about the film comes from the trailer, reviews, articles, and our own biased preconceptions. Listen along as we ponder burning questions like: Is Jesus even featured in this nativity film? Why are the three wise men members of the Taliban? Will Emoji-Ism one day eclipse Christianity as a leading world religion? What do Seven Samurai and Arthur Christmas have in common? Why has Billy sworn off caroling forever? Is all Christmas music terrible? Who bequeathed Rudolph a nationalistic ring of power? But, most importantly, is The Star so offensive that it might end up invoking God’s wrath and bring about the next nuclear war? (Oh well, at least the colors are nice.)

Listen along as we ponder burning questions like: Has Satan Goat finally returned, or is it a case of mistaken identity? Can good cheekbones save a film? Who’s up for a fun round of “Where’s Chiwetel Ejiofor?” What’s with all the Phoenix symbolism recently? Why does no one in this film seem to care that a whole bunch of fairy genocide has taken place? Did Princess Aurora enact a fantasy world version of Operation Paperclip? But, most importantly, how did Disney manage to secure the inestimable talents of Michael Pafeffer in the powerhouse, dual role of Mushroom and Hedgehog?

Welcome boils and ghouls to the thirty-seventh episode of Much Review About Nothing: our spooky, spectacular Halloween Special! This time we reviewed The Grudge (2020). Again, we must point out that we haven't seen the movie. That is 100% not a joke. Everything we know about the film comes from the trailer, reviews, articles, and our own biased preconceptions. Listen along as we ponder burning questions like: Are the Grudge ghosts just sticklers for good hygiene? Is there a ghost bureaucracy that handles who grudges who? Was this movie caused by a grudge against Hollywood, or vice versa? How badly did The Jerks disrupt filming when they invaded the set? Was Jake’s “imaginary” friend Donald a lot more real than we first thought? But, most importantly, is this movie complex Japanese propaganda intended to undermine our faith in law enforcement (as suggested by totally sane political theorist, and frequent show guest, Oscar Albert)? Halloween Special Itinerary: The Grudge (2020) ReviewGhostly Experiences/Imaginary FriendsPast Halloween CostumesBilly’s Horror Movie Suggestions Email: muchreviewan@gmail.comFacebook: www.facebook.com/muchreviewpodTwitter: @muchreviewpodBilly’s Twitter: @supergruesomePatreon: https://www.patreon.com/muchreviewpod

On the thirty-sixth episode of Much Review About Nothing we review Mulan (2020). Again, we must point out that we haven't seen the movie. We only know one thing: “At least a mosquito stops sucking when you slap it.” Listen along as we ponder burning questions like: Why didn’t they make Boring Kahn a little heftier? Are movies released on streaming going to be supervised like proctored tests? What made Mulan’s sister such a GREAT MISTAKE!? How many edgy jokes can one film inspire? Who on earth are Cricket the Prospector and The West Coast Jersey Fenix? But, most importantly, is this movie actually a secret Star Wars movie leading up to a new trilogy where Mulan and Rey (and eventually Captain Larson) fly across the universe and absolutely demolish every evil threat without the slightest bit of effort? Billy’s Alternate Viewing Suggestions: The Assassin (2015) directed by Hsiao-Hsien Hou.The Witch: Part 1 – The Subversion (2018) directed by Hoon-Jung Park.

Everything we know about the film comes from the trailer, reviews, articles, and our own biased preconceptions. Listen along as we ponder burning questions like: Can you film an entire movie with only six people acting as cast and crew? Is it two bears or two wolves? Would melanin-altering abilities be useful to have? Is the fear of coal miners a serious phobia that’s plaguing tens of people? What copyright loophole allowed Batman, Slenderman, and the Boogeyman to show up in this film? But, most importantly, why is so much of this absurdly long film focused on chair-cutting and cat-wrangling?

On the thirty-fourth episode of Much Review About Nothing we review Doolittle (2020). Again, we must point out that we haven't seen the movie. That is 100% not a joke. Everything we know about the film comes from the trailer, reviews, articles, and our own biased preconceptions. Listen along as we ponder burning questions like: Is Dr. Doolittle basically just another Netflix Tiger King? Are the animals in this film from a different, highly off-putting dimension? Can Doolittle’s lesser-known brother, the loveable Dr. Treelittle, actually talk to trees or is he just mentally unstable? Where in the world is Doolittle’s dead wife? How do Peter Rabbit and the Australians fit into all this? But, most importantly, does Doolittle gradually fall to the dark side and weaponize his linguistic abilities to invade Britain with ferocious animals, thus forcing Treelittle to step in and rally an arboreal army against him in the sequel? Dr. Doomlittle Vs. Dr. Treelittle (Never coming to a theater near you, because theaters don’t exist anymore!) ---------- Email: muchreviewan@gmail.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/muchreviewpod Twitter: @muchreviewpod Billy’s Twitter: @supergruesome Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/MRAN

Everything we know about the film comes from the trailer, reviews, articles, and our own biased preconceptions. Listen along as we ponder burning questions like: At what point does a poor book adaptation become false advertisement? Do you think Josh God will forgive us of our sins? Who would win in a fight, Josh God or the vile beast James Corden? Did Kenneth Branagh intentionally sabotage Artemis Fowl by using a version of the novel that was clumsily orated to him (by Josh God)? Should production crews be disciplined in the town square for movies like Artemis Fowl or Cats? But most importantly, who is the mysterious Film Giver and should his bestowment of unmarked film reels be feared?   Email: muchreviewan@gmail.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/muchreviewan Twitter: @muchreviewan Billy’s Twitter: @supergruesome Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/MRAN

Everything we know about the film comes from the trailer, reviews, articles, and our own biased preconceptions. Listen along as we ponder burning questions like: Do you remember when we all fell in love with Tom Holland’s trademark stupidity? What are the moral and physical implications of transforming into a pigeon? Does the world really need non-violent spy films? Are dogs actually the Devil’s pet? What do Dwayne Johnson’s malformed twin brothers: Dawate and Dange have to do with any of this? But most importantly, do all the characters in the film sit down and watch the film for themselves once the credits roll, providing color commentary and effectively doubling the movie’s runtime?

On the thirty-first episode of Much Review About Nothing we review Bloodshot (2020). Again, we must point out that we haven't seen the movie. That is 100% not a joke. Everything we know about the film comes from the trailer, reviews, articles, and our own biased preconceptions. Listen along as we ponder burning questions like: Is this film, which stars a partially immortal super-soldier, somewhat unrealistic? When will CGI finally replace actors and keep them from whining at us during award shows? Why was the original Inspector Gadget movie so oddly dark? How can Vin Diesel be so cringey and so likeable at the same time? Does Bloodshot ever wield his amputated arms like nunchaku? But most importantly, is this movie actually the heart-warming tale of a man learning to overcome his emotional problems and move on after his recent divorce thanks to the power of regenerative nanites and wanton sci-fi violence?

Listen along as we ponder burning questions like: Is it possible to just buy a whole town? What is the strange mystical force known as Foos-Power? How can the film’s trailer be so memorable and forgettable at the same time? Why are table sports an aphrodisiac to women? If you’re going to have tiny, sentient Foosball Golems in your film, shouldn’t they be the main focus? But most importantly, what makes the alleged villain: Ace, such a great role-model for young children, aspiring entrepreneurs, and experimental pharmacologists everywhere?

Can you wing a session of fan-casting or does it take preparation? But, most importantly, is the Disturbingly Humanlike Sonic from the previous version of the film still trapped somewhere inside the footage and tirelessly plotting his escape in order to punish everyone who rejected him?

Everything we know about the film comes from the trailer, reviews, articles, and our own biased preconceptions. Listen along as we ponder burning questions like: Is this film Will Smith’s attempt to replace Jaden and recapture his youth? Would a far crazier actor (Nicolas Cage) have been better in the dual role? That said, why didn’t Old Willy write a swaggalicious “Gemini Man Rap” to end the movie with? Is director Ang Lee trying to fragment reality, and create real life Gemini Men, by increasing movie frame rates to absurd levels? But, most importantly, does one of the Much Review About Nothing hosts actually commit to the worst bit of all time as the episode draws to a close?

But most importantly, who is the mysterious Giraffe King, and will he defeat all challengers (by kicking them) to take his place as leader of the pride?
