Should You Watch It?

2018 brought in some great movies, some bad movies, and several in between. In this episode I run through all the 2018 movies I saw this year and give you my blunt opinion on whether you should avoid each movie I've seen, or watch it.

This underrated movie from the early stars Tom Hanks, Elijah Wood, and little Timmy from Jurassic Park. The film clearly shows why these young actors went on to bigger and greater fame than even they could imagine. Directed by Richard Donner (Lethal Weapon, Goonies), this is a the most uplifting and magical film about child abuse ever made. But... considering its heavy themes and date, should you watch it?

Besides Home Alone, Elf, and the typical holiday fare, what would you say is the best Christmas movie of all time - action-wise? Well, my pick isn't Die Hard, it's the first installment of the legendary Lethal Weapon franchise. Here, you'll learn some pretty cool facts that actually intermingle with the Die Hard universe, so treat yourself to an early Christmas feast for the ears and be reminded why this movie is still so great.

Ralph Breaks the Internet is the sequel to 2012's Wreck-It Ralph. This follow-up is completely different from its classic predecessor, but in a good way or bad? Before you head out to the theaters to see the latest Disney installment, give this episode a listen to see if Ralph Breaks the Internet is something you should watch. Minor spoilers.

The sequel to Wreck-it Ralph just recently came out, so did you see the original Wreck-it Ralph? Here's my thoughts on the 2014 movie along with some interesting facts leading up to its release.

Maybe you've seen this cult 80's classic, or maybe you haven't. Either way, Andrew gives an interesting take on the movie, discussing its themes and its influence on pop culture. And as always, Andrew is completely honest about who he thinks should watch this movie, because as much as he loves movies, he hates when people waste time watching bad movies. So take a day off and give this blast from the past a listen!

It's my ninth episode, and I thought it would be a good time to share a little about who I am and what types of movies I enjoy or don't enjoy, and what you can expect from me as a movie reviewer. And I try to answer the biggest question of my life: Why the hell do I like movies so much? (Key word there being "try.")

There's no getting around it, The Happening is a really bad movie. But it's an entertainingly bad movie - like, bad enough to get through and still enjoy yourself to some degree, but not bad enough to avoid altogether. In this episode, Andrew shares why The Happening isn't the movie everyone thinks it is. He argues that if it's seen as a love story, then the movie actually holds up a little better. Why no one has caught his yet still boggles his mind, so hear out his thoughts on this new fan theory that just might blow your mind.

Ride along as I talk about why E.T. is the most essential Halloween movie and I take the time to dive into some of my favorite characters, and how they all pull together to make one of the greatest movies ever made. So whether you're a long time viewer, or it's your first trip back in many years, hear me out on whether or not you should go back and watch it.

There are two camps when it comes to Deadpool: You either love him and embrace his sick humor, or you're going to be repulsed by him. This review of Deadpool 2 takes a lot of care to address both camps and be honest about whether or not you should see this movie. And also, Andrew brings up the possibility that there's a good message buried in all the vulgarity and gore. Listen to see if you agree with him.
