Sure! (Wait, how good are the stunts?) Lara Croft: Tomb Raider is inconsistent, but it also brought us action-hero Angie for the first time, so we as a society owe it a great deal. Also it has the bungee ballet scene, which buys at least 6 nonsensical lines from poor, miserable Daniel Craig.For more content, check us out on Instagram.2023-03-291h 24Adventurelings | The Adventure Movie PodcastHoney, You’re Wearing A Bathrobe. | Stardust (2007)Stunning landscapes, a truly moving love confession to a mouse, and Robert DeNiro in a corset.

Uncharted was made to be a straight-up-the-middle adventure movie, and it does a lot of the things we love: include Tom Holland, feature a badass lady villain, deliver killer stunts, and take us to exotic locations. That said, there are some things that are examples of "not quality" as we so eloquently put it (*cough* Mark Wahlberg *cough*). Overall, we... enjoyed it?For more content, check us out on Instagram.2023-03-151h 09Adventurelings | The Adventure Movie PodcastShoot Shoot Gun Gun | The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996)Welcome to Canada (and our second episode) — it’s 1996’s The Long Kiss Goodnight with Geena Davis and Samuel L.

Join us for one of the movies that started it all — the iconic, beloved epic film The Mummy. Emily wore out her VHS tape and 12-year-old Mason related most to drunken Jonathan. Neither one of us can say “Carnarvon” and we both want Ardeth Bey’s hair. Basically, we have crushes on everyone and want to do all the stunts.For more content, check us out on Instagram.2023-03-0152 min
