The Adam Project might be a slight improvement over Ryan Reynolds’ two previous attempts at starting a Netflix franchise—6 Underground and Red Notice—but it’s still a Ryan Reynolds movie, for better or worse.
We discuss the Deadpool star’s dedication to playing himself in every movie that he does, the admittedly well-done action, and how the movie wastes all its female characters.
We also talk about Walker Scobell’s impression of Reynolds, the digital de-ageing of Catherine Keener, and Shawn Levy’s direction (who reunites here with Reynolds after Free Guy).
