Send us a textWhat if The Wizard of Oz had what we all wanted? Less singing and more electroshock therapy? This week, we take a  trip back to the Land of Oz with Return to Oz - the 1985 sequel no one asked for.We discuss wheeler gangs, talking chickens, and why Princess Mombi has a walk-in closet full of human heads. It's darker, weirder, and somehow still a children's movie. Will Disney return to this type of children's movie? We try to make sense of it — from the backseat, of course.Follow us on Instagram @thebackseatcritics for behind-the-scenes nonsense, bonus takes, and regret.Be sure to hit like if you like this podcast.

Join us as we stroll down memory lane, revisiting the 2002 "Scooby-Doo" film that captured our imaginations in the early 2000s. From watching it in segments during school recesses to experiencing it on the big screen with family, we share how this quirky movie became a part of our childhood collections. We laugh about the humor that flew over our heads back then and the memorable plot twist involving the mischievous Scrappy-Doo. Plus, hear our musings on the intriguing changes made from its original R-rated script to a family-friendly adventure.The laughter continues as we explore the film's nods to the Scooby-Doo universe, from a ghost with bunny rabbit ears reminiscent of classic villains to Pamela Anderson's unexpected cameo. We let our imaginations run wild with playful speculations about how comedic genius Sasha Baron Cohen might have added his flair to the film. The movie's island setting sparks comparisons to "Zombie Island," offering fresh perspectives on how the gang's adventures might have evolved. We also dive into character transformations post-breakup, and how these shifts contributed to reshaping the beloved franchise.Our spooky musings don't stop there. We also recount thrilling childhood experiences at theme parks, where tales of vampires and peculiar rides stoked our imaginations and fears. The conversation even touches on whether Scooby-Doo and the gang would brave notorious attractions like Disneyland. Finally, we reflect on the darker origins of the film, including its creative process and James Gunn's influence, pondering how a more self-aware version could have looked. Join us for a light-hearted reflection on a peculiar yet beloved adaptation, packed with humor and heartfelt memories.Be sure to hit like if you like this podcast.

Our discussion also delves into the monumental influence of Shaquille O'Neal, comparing his legacy to contemporary legends like Steph Curry and Steve Nash, and exploring Nash's remarkable career, especially his synergy with Dirk Nowitzki.Shifting gears, we scrutinize the unique challenges of refereeing in playoff basketball. The increased physicality and altered standards of officiating come under the microscope as we analyze incidents like Scott Pollard's controversial block attempt against Shaq and Kobe Bryant's infamous flying elbow. We question the fairness and intent of these moments, offering balanced perspectives on how such decisions shape the game.

Send us a Text Message.Can Vin Diesel's immortal witch hunter really save the day, or is the plot just as cursed? Join us as we kick off with a hilarious yet critical review of "The Last Witch Hunter." We uncover everything from the witch queen's outrageous claims about the Black Plague to the puzzling presence of her immortal heart. Elijah Wood's mysterious character and the possibility of a sequel also come under our comedic scrutiny as we explore the deep historical roots of the witch cult.Next, imagine a world where Samuel L. Jackson, John Travolta, and Vince Vaughn join forces, with cameos by Snoop Dogg and Kurt Angle. That's right—we're casting our dream movie and debating the impact of iconic actors like Ian McShane and Wesley Snipes as members of a more formidable witch council. Reminiscing about Jack Nicholson playing the devil in an 80s classic, we ponder how elements from "What We Do in the Shadows" could spice things up. Finally, we take a nostalgic trip back to 1987 with "The Witches of Eastwick," celebrating Jack Nicholson's devilish charm. Our spirited discussion covers everything from lackluster fight scenes to the unique powers of witches, while humorously questioning plot twists and character motivations. We even imagine how the film might have been better received in the 90s, wrapping up with a longing for more fun and humor in the fantasy genre.

Send us a Text Message.Buckle up for a monster-sized episode of Backseat Critics, where Andrew and I, RJ, dive headfirst into the chaos of "Rampage." Without missing a beat, we debate the heavy-hitting presence of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and whether adding Charlize Theron to the mix could've turned up the heat. We can't help but crack up over George's sign language antics and even slip in an oddball tribute to David Prowse, the man behind Darth Vader's mask, and his bittersweet "Return of the Jedi" outcome.As we navigate the treacherous waters of "Rampage," we stumble upon the hilarity of oversized animals and take it up a notch with our own outlandish pitches for giant animal movies. From rampaging elephants to city-crushing koalas, no creature is too wild for our imaginations. But it's not all creature chaos; we also tip our hats to the unsung comedic genius of Jim Varney and the heroic flexibility of Brendan Fraser. Sprinkle in a dash of Sam Rockwell and Gary Oldman, and you've got a recipe for casting what-ifs that will keep you guessing.To cap off this whirlwind episode, we tussle with the age-old question of what makes a movie just right for family night. Is it a light saber-wielding adventure, or perhaps a nostalgic trip down Mario lane? We lay down our ratings with a wink and even dare to compare video game adaptations, all while keeping the laughs coming. Remember, the next time you're torn between a pixelated plumber and some good old-fashioned city destruction, the Backseat Critics have got your back. Tune in, follow us, and join the cinematic rampage—we promise we've fixed the mic stand for good!Be sure to hit like if you like this podcast.

Send us a Text Message.Ever imagine Kevin Hart donning Snow White's iconic dress or Jack Black swinging Red Riding Hood's basket? That's the sort of hilarity you'll encounter as we, your irreverent guides RJ and Andrew from Backseat Critics, celebrate the riotous "Avengers: Grim Time War." Our latest episode isn't just a love letter to the film; it's a rollicking, plot-twisting journey through a fairy tale mashup that's as unpredictable as it is delightful. We're dissecting everything from laugh-out-loud aging makeup effects that'd give "Attack of the Clones" a run for its money to the plausibility of Johnny Depp's Mad Hatter gatecrashing this fantasy bonanza. Buckle up for this high-octane review that's as peppered with chuckles as it is with cheeky casting suggestions.As we navigate the labyrinth of this epic's runtime, we can't help but muse whether a dash of El Chupacabra or a sprinkle of Candyman might have saved us from a tale that overstayed its welcome. Sure, we're handing out standing ovations on the one hand, but on the other, we're mulling over the potential of a TV series spinoff that could've kept us hooked without checking our watches. Tune in for a no-holds-barred critique that's as honest as it is entertaining, and join the conversation on Instagram, YouTube, or wherever you feast on podcasts.

Send us a Text Message.Ever wondered what would happen if Eddie Murphy had skipped "The Adventures of Pluto Nash"? We've got you covered! Join us as we put Eddie Murphy's filmography under the microscope, starting with the laughably ambitious flop "The Adventures of Pluto Nash." We crack jokes about Murphy's multiple roles and take a playful jab at Alec Baldwin's stealthy cameo. Fuel our fun debate on an alternative universe where names like Brendan Fraser, Bruce Willis, or even the late Chris Farley might have stepped into the spotlight – would it have been a game-changer for this sci-fi comedy?Grab your popcorn because our "Movies and Characters Chat" is nothing short of a rollercoaster. We dissect a film that could have doubled as a marathon – one long, breathless chase scene – and chew over the missed comedic opportunities. Did Rosario Dawson's casting play a part, or did the studio's scissors snip away the laughs? Oh, and if you're a fan of Luis Guzman, we're rallying behind his comedic chops, imagining him as Gomez Addams in "Wednesday," and comparing him to the legendary Raul Julia. We cap off this lively discussion by embracing the unfiltered joy of Eddie Murphy's performance in "Pluto Nash" – no holds barred.Closing out Andrew and I serve up a no-holds-barred review of a film that recently let us down, big time. Picture this: a cinema experience so underwhelming, we'd sooner discuss moon-based gyms and hypothetical wild animal encounters in space. We confess to seeking refuge in fantasy football trades and the Mariners game, anything to escape the yawn-inducing flick we endured.
