We're taking a look at one of the most widely panned films of 2019, Steven Knight's misbegotten noir Serenity! Join in as we discuss this reunion of Anne Hathaway and Matthew McConaughey, the yearslong political scandal it caused, the ignominious collapse of Aviron Pictures, and the various games on Plymouth Island. Plus: Why did this movie receive such little marketing? How old are Karen and Baker Dill supposed to be? Did Jeremy Strong go method for his role as The Rules? And, most importantly, what was that kid thinking when he set all of this up? Make sure to rate, review, and subscribe!

Your Stupid Minds enters the world of Baker Dill as part of its ad hoc Worst of 2019 series with the flop Serenity. Don’t worry nerds! We’re reviewing the other movie named Serenity that was a big flop. The one about fishing and step-dad revenge. Not Joss Whedon’s space opera. Baker Dill (Matthew McConaughey) is an island fisherman trying to catch a giant tuna named Justice. His high school sweetheart Karen (Anne Hathaway) finds him and offers $10 million to kill her abusive husband Frank (Jason Clarke), and Dill is conflicted. This is all I can say without giving away the big twist.

This week Jarrod, Jim, and Karl watched BERNIE, the 2011 film based on a true murder, starring Jack Black, Shirley MacLaine, and Baker Dill himself Matthew McConaughey. We discuss predatory funeral directors, intra-Texas rivalries, and the presence of iPhones in a movie that takes place in the '90s. The movie is available on Prime, and also for free on Tubi, YouTube, Pluto, PopcornFlix, Crackle, Roku Channel, and I'm pretty sure some UHF channels.

For the inaugural episode, Olive picked the utterly bizarre film "Serenity" from earlier this year. They discuss Baker Dill, "The Donnie Darko of Video Games", and large kisses.
Pese a tener la presencia de dos ganadores del Oscar como protagonistas, la película resulta incoherente y predecible. Baker Dill es un hombre que huye de su pasado. Atrás quedaron la guerra y una relación que dio como fruto un ingenioso niño. Ahora sus días los pasa en una paradisiaca isla, rodeada por un mar de aguas azules y cristalinas, tratando de pescar un exótico ejemplar que le quita el sueño. Pero ese pasado que creía superado, llega de nuevo a la vida de Baker, encarnado en la figura de Karen, una mujer que significó mucho en su vida y quien viene a traerle una propuesta que lleva al señor Dill, a un dilema moral. @caracoldepeli

Matthew McConaughey is at his tanned, bare-bottomed best as Baker Dill trying to catch a big tuna fish. Anne Hathaway, Diane Lane, Jason Clarke, and Djimon Hounsou are there to cheer him on, but then things take a turn as McConaughey suffers a severe existential crisis.
