Movie Slackers

John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum

Sam’s branching out of his comedy wheelhouse with one of his favorite action movies for his pick this week: “John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum”. Having seen only the first “John Wick”, Sam catches Robin up on where this third chapter starts, as well as diving into the nonstop action and stunt work and also how much Sam still found funny in this non-comedy pick.   00:00:00 - Introduction & Chit-chat 00:18:18 - Movie Reveal 00:28:33 - Movie Discussion & Ratings

Adaptation.

Robin’s been in a movie watching funk lately. So he’s turning to one that’s been on his watchlist for a while, Charlie Kaufman’s “Adapatation.”. With its meta elements and a protagonist going through his own funk, this just might be the movie to snap Robin out of it, as he and Sam discuss the journey Charlie goes on, what was really up with Donald Kaufman, and they both see a little of themselves in Charlie.    00:00:00 - Introduction & Chit-chat 00:17:07 - Movie Reveal 00:22:38 - Movie Discussion & Ratings

Fanboys

In celebration of May the 4th, Sam picks “Fanboys” and quickly learns that Robin has some hot takes about “Star Wars”. In spite of that, he and Robin get into the heart of the film and its impact on the story. Will Robin’s disliking of the Star Wars franchise impact his enjoyment of “Fanboys”?   00:00:00 - Introduction & Chit-chat 00:15:23 - Movie Reveal 00:19:39 - Movie Discussion & Ratings

Treasure Planet

Coming in with a suggestion from his friend, Robin has our (accidental) first un-featured guest pick, Disney’s “Treasure Planet”. One of the biggest financial bombs in the company’s long history. Does this movie deserve it's bad rep? Or is it an underrated gem?   00:00:00 - Introduction & Chit-chat 00:21:49 - Movie Reveal 00:28:58 - Movie Discussion & Ratings

Akira

Sam picks a critically acclaimed movie, new to both him and Robin. 1988’s “Akira”. They discuss the historic animation that the movie reinvented, their own histories with anime, and if they feel the story holds up nearly 40 years later.   00:00:00 - Introduction & Chit-chat 00:19:24 - Movie Reveal 00:24:09 - Movie Discussion & Ratings
