If there's a popular movie that most people hate, there's a chance Trevor loves it...because Trevor Loves Everything. Each month, Trevor sits down with a friend to discuss a popular movie that most people tend to hate. The friend hates it, Trevor loves it.
The last episode I did with Bradinn was for Amazing Spider-Man 2. The movies I've covered that are discussed in this episode are Crash, Dawn of the Dead, Zack Snyder's Justice League, and Man of Steel. You can listen to any of those right now! Go for it!
We recorded this episode the weekend after The Snyder Cut came out. I hesitated to even release the episode because the toxic side of the fan base were so honed in on taking down anyone who said anything negative about the movie. Plus it's a little more negative than most of my content so I wasn't sure. After a few months, I finally sat down with the material and realized I might as well share it with y'all.There's a lot of fun throughout and Jon's ALWAYS a delight as a guest. I broke it up into 6 parts and epilogue not JUST to be hilariously like the movie we talk about but also to give everyone a chance to take breaks and come back to it later without feeling like you're gonna forget a bunch of stuff.It's all non-sense and random thoughts, but I still do little previously ons in case that's your jam.Anyway, please enjoy this episode that no one asked for as we push on to the next!

The remake of The Witches is currently available on HBO. The original The Witches is available on Netflix (as of this posting). Here's an article about Raold Dahl to get you started on your journey down the rabbit hole of his horrid views. And here's another. And another. It's honestly not hard to find, and there's plenty more. And obviously, hit me on twitter @trevorcarlee if you'd like to point out anything I've gotten wrong :)
I originally didn't watch About Time in the theater because, like many people, I thought it was a cringe-y story about a guy using time travel to manipulate a girl into loving him. I felt that way, because they promoted it that way. FOR SHAME!But then I was fortunate enough to stumble upon it later in the comfort of my own home, where I ugly cried for about an hour straight. This film is so unbelievably gorgeous and I had to bring on my "fellow crybaby," Nik Manning from the podcast Black Girls Do Stuff Too, to talk about it.We both feel like the movie does not get the recognition it definitely deserves. We also have been wanting to talk about the taboo topic of "crying during movies" so this was a 2 for 1 deal.Buckle up!If you don't listen to Black Girls Do Stuff Too, there's no time like the present. Go subscribe!
I've honestly wanted to not only talk about Jersey Girl with someone for some time now, but I've also just wanted to rewatch it. As schedules get crazy, it gets harder and harder to rewatch old things (except Buffy...I always have time for Buffy).After a weekly game night (back before COVID), Jersey Girl just came up in conversation and John Longino mentioned remembering hating it when it came out but thought maybe he might like it now that he's a father.Check out the podcast to find out what he thought.

Rise of Skywalker has really done a number on the Star Wars fanbase and we're here to tackle that beast. Jon is back for another installment of Trevor Loves Star Wars ... I mean, Trevor Loves Everything.I promise every episode won't be about Star Wars, but there was no way we could just stop after The Last Jedi. Especially after we teased our thoughts on TROS so much! So here we are...beaten...broken...bewildered.Join us on our journey of discovering our emotions about this final installment of the Star Wars Saga. And his us up with any questions, arguments, thoughts you have. We can do a quick little special episode responding to them! Enjoy!
Among many films on the docket that have escaped my gaze, Taxi Driver has been among the most offensive for some. Most look on in shock and disgust when I mention never having seen it.John Nelson was one such fellow some ten years ago. He set himself on a mission to ensure that I see this "classic." It's taken ten years and two podcasts, but we're finally here.All I knew of Taxi Driver is the infamous "You talkin' ta me" scene. The rest was a big ol' mystery. So, sit back, relax, tense up and get ready to be very uncomfortable as we discuss Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver.
Jon and I can spend hours on end talking about the ins and outs of Star Wars, and always matching each other's passion. So he was an obvious choice to bring in and talk about The Last Jedi.The film has split the fandom of Star Wars right down the middle and I've wanted to talk about it for years. I know my format usually calls for my guest to hate the movie in discussion, but I wanted to try something different. It won't always be like this and I'll still maintain the same format for the most part, but I might change it up here and there.Let me know your thoughts on how you feel about this episode on twitter (@trevorcarlee) or e-mail (trevorcarlee@gmail.com).Enjoy!
The moment Daysha found out I had never seen or heard of Life is Beautiful, she made it her mission to make sure I did. She lent me the DVD and I returned the favor by ... not watching it and giving it back (I'm terrible).Well, after we did our episode on Domino (which, if you haven't listened already, go check it out!), I told Daysha we could do a B-Side for Life is Beautiful and she was very down for it.So here we are. It's the holiday season ... well nearing the end of it anyway ... and we're going to sit back and watch a holocaust movie. I guess I don't even need to to explain the movie because it appears I'm the only one who hasn't seen this three time Academy Award winning classic. Who knew! Daysha. That's how.Enjoy!
A new horizon in CG filmmaking or a travesty to our precious nostalgia? Or ... neither?Welcome Wil Brooks to the podcast! Wil is yet another guest I've had a problem finding a movie to invite him on for because he generally likes a lot of things.Enter...Lion King. Obviously I dug it, but Wil has some really interesting reasons why he disliked this film AND some really great ideas for how it could have been better. We also go on many a tangent and basically cover every Disney remake ever. It's packed tight!Sit back, relax and enjoy this month's episode of Planet Earth- er...I mean, Trevor Loves Everything.You can check Wil out at www.soimwatching.com and you can buy his book here.
Welcome Damien Belliveau to the fold! Damien and I love geeking out about movies and television. While I tend to love everything and have broad general ideas and emotions toward them, Damien goes in with a scalpel to everything he watches and finds out what makes it tick.Usually, Damien and I are on the same page with liking the films most people hate, but I knew I could count on him for this episode. I saw him the day after he watched it in the theater and ... well, he had words about his experience.When I sent him a list of potential movies for Trevor Loves Everything, he couldn't believe people didn't like the movies on the list. But Ghostbusters 2016!? Oh he was down for that.You can catch Damien on twitter and instagram at @damienbelliveau. He also runs a photography project called The Part Black Project on instagram as @thepartblackproject and on his website www.damienbelliveau.com.Additionally, the article I mention in this episode can be found here: https://medium.com/@deer.erin/why-should-i-go-see-it-8a3e552a540bAnd as always, you can find me on instagram and twitter at @trevorcarlee.

When Jon Schneider and I were "battling it out" over Man of Steel, he mentioned having high hopes for Zack Snyder after seeing his take on Dawn of the Dead. I had never seen the film, which blew Jon's mind.Now he has a chance to geek out with me over a film I'll most likely enjoy. Check out the episode and hear our quick recap on this home run of a film!And as always, please find it in your heart to rate and review the podcast. It helps it get seen by more people :)
Welcome back to another action packed episode of Trevor Loves Everything! As Daysha pointed out last month, I tend to have a lot of people named John on my podcast ... and today is no exception!Today, we talk about Battle: Los Angeles, a 2011 Sci-Fi Action film about aliens invading the planet and the Marines that aimed to put a stop to it. Jon and I actually watched this in the theater on opening weekend and man oh man did we walk away with different opinions.Both of us are veterans but one of us was celebratory and amped while the other was ... massively disappointed. I'll let you guess who's who.Get nice and comfy and enjoy the ride as we talk about this wonderful film and also dive a little deeper into what it's like to be a veteran.And as always, please rate and review - it really helps get these episodes out to even more ears :)
A huge fan of Tony Scott, I've found myself defending his work more often than not. I really like the depth in his story telling with films like Man on Fire, but I also really enjoy his overall, hyper-styilzed visuals. My guest this month is the always-entertaining, Daysha Broadway. We spent many months trying to figure out a movie that she joins the mass public in hating so we could do an episode together. She's like me in that she enjoys most things. I happened to throw Domino out there and she was all over it! "I am about to go IN on this movie. It's actually not good at all." Sit back and enjoy as Daysha and I perform an autopsy on this film and find out what killed it in the public's eye. MY GUEST Daysha is one of the editors for the very funny show A Black Lady Sketch Show on HBO
I've often heard The Village used as a sort of base level comparison for all of M. Night Shyamalan films. "Well...it's no Village, but it's still pretty bad." It always confused me because I personally LOVED when I watched The Village. John, however, does not hold that same endearing memory of Shyamalan's "quakers vs. monsters" mislead. He feels it should have been one thing or the other, and the thing it was ... well, wasn't really anything at all. A lot of common ground is found in this discussion, so take a dive and see where the chips fall! And you can catch John over on The Holdup Podcast every month, where he and John Longino revisit movies of old and see if they still hold up! It's an absolute blast to listen to. Go give them a listen and review!
Come on this journey with us as we dissect what exactly is so bad about this "indie" passion project by the ever so famous Michael Bay. While Pain & Gain has hovered around the 50% mark on Rotten Tomatoes, I've never heard a person say they enjoyed this film ... until John Nelson said as much on our Transformers episode a little while back. That spawned a text from Mr. Longino wanting to set the record straight that Pain & Gain was, indeed, a bad movie. And as always, our friend John comes from the awesome Holdup Podcast with John Nelson, where they discuss old movies and find out if they actually hold up all these years later. Go check them out and subscribe; it's incredibly entertaining!
In 2006, a fast and furious little film popped on the big screen starring Paul Walker. No, it wasn't of the franchise touting that phrase, it was a colorfully explosive little film called Running Scared. The trailer didn't really do anything for me, but it did inform the audience that the first six minutes of the film was available to watch online. After watching those first six minutes, I was hooked. I watched it multiple times a night for weeks leading up to the theatrical release. I had never seen anything like it and I was so excited for where they went from there. I was NOT disappointed. Jarrod, on the other hand, could barely stomach the entire thing.
There's a lot to unpack when talking about Superman. Too many comics to count, TV shows, movies and oh so much nostalgia. So when Zack Snyder took the helm of the visionary future of Superman on the big screen, everybody was excited, right? ....no. Surprisingly to me, the world was very unimpressed with Man of Steel, and I just could not understand why. It's such a beautiful film with some fascinating takes on the traditional Superman story beats. Jon and I went into the theater ecstatic for what was to come and we walked out ... with VERY different opinions.
After the massive upset that was Spider-Man 3, Sony decided to reboot the series. What we got was an incredible journey into the early years of Peter Parker, a realistic, "gritty" take on Spider-Man and a love interest with chemistry that melts the screen. Initially planned to be a trilogy, the sequel performed so poorly that Sony cancelled it all together and joined forces with Marvel to make Homecoming. But perhaps there was miscommunication because CLEARLY Amazing Spider-Man 2 is a masterpiece and wires got crossed. Come along on this journey where I explain to Bradinn why this emotional roller coaster of a movie is in my top three Spider-Man movies of all time.
Despite a relatively high score on Rotten Tomatoes (77% presently) and winning Best Picture at the Academy Awards in 2006, I've heard nothing but disdain for this movie from every person I've spoken to about it. Crash is a movie that tries its best to tackle the topics of race and gender with Los Angeles as the backdrop. Stories physically and emotionally collide throughout causing some to choke up and others to roll their eyes so far in to the back of their heads that they go blind. Whether you loved it or hated it, there's something in here for you. So sit back, take a listen and enjoy the reminiscent experience of Crash.
Back in 2011, Zack Snyder's box office successes afforded him the opportunity to take to the page and deliver an original film to audiences worldwide. His story? Sucker Punch. Ostensibly, a film about dragons and nazis and violence OH MY! But underneath it all, it's a film about coping. Five women do what they can to escape the hell they've been thrown into under the leadership of Baby Doll. Layers of reality, objectification and endless CGI are just some of the complaints people have had about this film. Trevor loved watching Sucker Punch in the theater, aware of its flaws. John ... did not enjoy it. Sit back, listen and enjoy!
With six feature films under his belt, Michael Bay took on the endearing franchise of Transformers. John and Trevor were both excited to see what would come of it. Needless to say one walked out of the theater entertained and the other ... well the other was John. He was not entertained. Apologies to Russel Crowe. Trevor comes to Michael Bay's defense (I feel this won't be the last time) as John comes to defend his own childhood. Did Bay trample all over John's beloved characters and lore or did he simply make a fantastic film about robots that turn into vehicles? Not to spoil it or anything but it's definitely the latter. Maybe John changes his mind. Maybe Trevor loses all faith in humanity. Or maybe two friends have a civil conversation about something they disagree on. You'll only know if you listen. Enjoy! Also, check out John's podcast over at The Holdup Podcast! He and another John watch movies from long ago and discuss whether or not the movie holds up!
Trevor reminisces over how Lady in the Water made him feel in the theater and his utter shock and horror that the rest of the world didn't immediately fall in love with this film the way he did.Josh...has quite the opposite reaction. Lady in the Water is technically M. Night Shyamalan's seventh directorial venture, but his fifth since his big break with Sixth Sense. Based on a children's book he wrote for his kids, it's a story about love, loss and the hope of all mankind. It stars Paul Giamatti, Bryce Dallas Howard and Jeffrey Wright. Sit back, relax and enjoy the civil discourse over why Trevor loves this film. Spoiler Alert: It's because it's fantastic ;)
