It's rare on this podcast that the crew has to suffer together as a collective unit, this is one of those rare moments... This week we review... "Singularity" 2017 starring* John Cusack and maybe others? Honestly, who cares? Not the director, or actors, or set designers, or costumers, I bet even the best boy was one of the worst boys you could find. This movie sucks, do not watch it, listen to us break it down for you instead! - Andy
This episode of Fried Rice Podcast was full of fiery opinions as the crew tackled Singularity (2017), a sci-fi film featuring a low-energy John Cusack performance and a narrative that barely held itself together. Right from the start, you could feel the frustration in the air. Austin and Brennan weren't shy about voicing their disdain, with Austin regretting neglecting his kids just to sit through this film. "I’d rather be walked in on by my kids during the most embarrassing moment of my life than have them see me watch this movie," was one of the more dramatic complaints.
Andy, as always, tried to keep things light but struggled to defend the movie against the onslaught of criticism from his co-hosts. Michael, who apparently was responsible for suggesting this movie, took a lot of heat. The rest of the crew poked fun at his decision-making, leaving Michael to defend Singularity in vain. While there were a few entertaining tangents and fun moments like the ongoing bit about calling Bob to watch the movie, the consensus was clear: Singularity was a huge miss for everyone involved.
When it came time to dish out grades, things got grim. Andy generously gave it a D, while Austin and Brennan both threw down the dreaded W (Waste of Time). Michael, true to form, tried to salvage it with a C, but the team’s average final grade settled at an F. Despite the laughs and chaos of the episode, the movie itself left a sour taste—one the team likely won't forget anytime soon.

(don't worry, Andy isn't sitting in his room, waiting by his phone like it's the 90s, just fiddling with the long chord, watching "Back to the Future The TV Show"...)
