Buckle up, degeneratesâZach and Josh are back to dissect the weekâs media dumpster fires and hidden gems. This time, weâre kicking things off with a new segment: what we watched, what we liked, and what weâd rather gouge our eyes out than sit through again. Spoiler alert: Netflixâs Electric State lands squarely in the eye-gouging camp. Chris Pratt and Millie Bobby Brown try to spark some retro-robot chemistry, but the plotâs so rushed itâs like they forgot to plug in the script. Robots going rogue in a 90s alt-history wasteland? Cool concept. Execution? A two-hour snooze-fest with more holes than a Vegas stripperâs alibi. Josh called itâshouldâve been a series, not a movie. Zachâs side-eyeing the liberal Hollywood agenda, wondering if itâs an Elon dig or just another woke sermon. Either way, itâs a hard passâ5/5 for CGI, 0/5 for making sense.
Then we pivot to the good stuff: Severance Season 2 finale on Apple TV. Holy shit, this showâs a mind-benderâAdam Scottâs killing it as a split-personality office drone, and Ben Stillerâs basically trolling Scientology with a straight face. No woke preaching here, just pure, unsettling brilliance. We spoiled the hell out of it, so if you havenât watched, tough luckâgo binge and thank us later.Â
The rant train keeps rolling with Hollywoodâs DEI disasters: Snow White tanked harder than a lead zeppelin (mirrorâs blind if it picks Ziegler over Gadot), and HBOâs black Severus Snape has us screaming âAccio better casting!â Pacific Rim Uprising gets a nod for worst sequel everâkids saving the day? Zachâs personal nightmare. We reminisce over American Pie and Superbad defining our high school glory days, but canât name a decent teen flick past 2015âdid COVID kill the genre? Toss in some love for Wild Wild West (Will Smithâs Matrix fumble still slaps), a Wicked musical meh-fest, and a plea for Kathleen Kennedy to stay gone from Star Wars, and youâve got Episode 73.
Oh, and weâre begging you to call inâInstagram us your grievances, show recs, or hate mail. Whatâs the last great high school movie? Hit us up, or weâll assume youâre too busy rewatching Project X to care. Like, subscribe, shareâletâs keep this infinite weekend rolling.
