Minions & Monsters

Episode 95: Minions & Monsters How did we celebrate America’s 250th birthday? Fireworks, hot dogs, and a cold beer? NOPE. We saw Minions & Monsters at our local cineplex! Okay, it was only the 3rd of July, but that didn’t help us agree on much. We do think the animator did a great job of taking the Minions back to 1927 Hollywood, complete with callbacks to great actors and movies from that era. And just to spice up this episode, we swing by the Wendy’s drive-through to pick up a couple of Minionion-themed kid's meals. You’re going to get a review of the movie and our food choices this week. Happy Fourth!

Supergirl

Episode 94: Supergirl It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s…we can’t agree on what Supergirl is all about. This is Tina’s favorite type of bummer superhero cinema and nothing like the superheroes of Stratis’ youth. We get into the morality of using human trafficking and dog torture to get the audience emotionally connected to the characters. Tina tries to buy an intergalactic fizz cocktail but ends up being thwarted by the AMC bartender. Let’s just say that superhero movies aren’t simple good-versus-evil stories anymore, so whether you agree with Tina or Stratis, this episode will bring you into our conversation.

Masters of the Universe

Episode 93: Masters of the Universe By the power of Grayskull we are transported to the mythical planet of Eternia, home of He-Man. Let’s just say that Masters of the Universe does not bring to mind our ideal vacation spot, but Stratis did manage to take a couple of relaxing naps during the movie. Somehow Tina analyzes He-Man’s gender identity issues while Stratis has flashbacks to his college dorm. Overall, we do a great job of showing off how little we know about the He-Man universe, and this movie didn’t make us want to try to learn more.

The Sheep Detectives

Episode 92: The Sheep Detectives If you’re looking for a movie to teach your small children about murder and the horribleness of humanity, then maybe you’ll find it in The Sheep Detectives. If you listen to the voices of the internet, then you’ll think Tina and Stratis are just wrong about this movie. Their hearts were not warmed even a little. Heck, these sheep almost put Stratis to sleep, and even Sir Patrick Stewart could barely keep him awake! Tina did have the fun of sitting next to her nine-year-old cousins and managed to pick up some secondhand enthusiasm for sheep humor.

Is God Is

Episode 91: Is God Is Is God Is is a crazy title for a film, but it fits this most unique twin-sisters revenge epic as they try to deal with a horrible childhood. Kara Young and Mallori Johnson play the twin sisters amazingly well, if not a bit too disturbingly, but that’s more Aleshea Harris’ choice since she’s both director and screenwriter. Tina believes the moral of this movie is that love is a thing that can both protect us and can consume us, but Stratis is just left with way too much sadness.
