I'm not going to check either because you know what? If they misspelled it for the novel, we can misspell it for a podcast.
In this episode, we talk about the latest Pet Semetary adaptation. We also start off with a nice debate over the name of the place where priests train to become p...2019-04-3019 minWe Just Saw A MovieAvengers: EndgameThe most anticipated movie of 2019 is finally here - in this episode we break down Avengers: Endgame.

In this episode we talk about the direct to Netflix feature The Perfect Romance. We tried to honor this day celebrating love in the best way we know how: watching and ridiculing a movie about cretins who make another dating app. Only they don't call it an app, they call it an algorithm. We're not sure the people who made this film actually understand what an algorithm is. 2019-02-1412 minWe Just Saw A MovieWhat Men WantWe're back with a review of a movie Elizabeth's been anticipating for what seems like forever: What Men Want.

It stars Benedict Cumberbatch as a green dog-like human who can't seem to meet a man who likes Christmas but has 25 days to find one who likes to bake cookies and decorate trees and OH MY GOD THIS ONE IS ALSO LIKE A HALLMARK MOVIE SOMEHOW!
Just kidding. It's just another adaptation of the Grinch, this time without the horrifying Jim Carrey prosthetics. 2018-12-0714 minWe Just Saw A MovieA Bride for ChristmasThis...was a weird one.
"A Bride for Christmas" is a 2012 Hallmark Christmas movie about a woman who leaves guys at the alter being courted by a guy who can't commit. Aside from the guy getting teased by his guy friends for an inability to commit (a conversation that's never happened in the history of guys hanging out), but one of the character jokingly says she's gay in the first ten minutes.

Fine for the short term, sure, but no one could argue that you really NEEDED it.
This latest retelling of the classic tale has all the things you've come to know and love about the Robin Hood mythos. Staples of the legend like leather jackets, machine gun cross bows, wildly varying accents, bridges made of reinforced steel, and lots of plot points ripped directly from Batman. You know, everything you'd expect to appear in an English village between the years 800-1200, A.D.
We're surprised...2018-11-2030 minWe Just Saw A MovieFantastic Beasts: The Crimes of GrindlewaldTo quote the great philosopher Jacopo Peterman: "This is incoherent drivel!"
This movie was bad if you don't know anything about Harry Potter, and probably worse if you do. The only crime committed here was JK Rowling's nightmare of a script.

2018-11-1421 minWe Just Saw A MovieNobody's FoolIn this episode we review Nobody's Fool.
We're not going to sugar coat this one. It sucked.
And try as she might - and believe you me, she tried her damndest and almost made it watchable - even the wonderfully talented and funny Tiffany Haddish couldn't salvage this train wreck.
There was also a crazy guy in the theater who kept responding to the people in the movie as if they were talking to him. We talk to that guy as well. Wish we could have had him on as a guest, but you...2018-11-1333 minWe Just Saw A MovieSpirited AwayIt's time for Elizabeth to broaden Mike's horizons once again with another anime feature.

Per usual, we get off track and end up talking about a bunch of other stuff including whether or not Michelle Rodriguez is a jerk in real life. In case you're wondering, neither of us offers a solid conclusion on that front. 2018-11-0612 minWe Just Saw A MovieBohemian RhapsodyBohemian Rhapsody exceeded all expectations at the box office in its opening weekend, but how was it?

Does Jason Clarke's chin appear to be shot in 3-D even when it wasn't?
Was the moon landing faked?
Was this movie actually shot on the moon?
We tell you all that and more in our review of Damien Chazelle's First Man. We also tell you about our awesome buffer zone in an IMAX theater and sick aisle seats, which for some reason people don't prefer to sitting in the center.
We'll never understand why. 2018-10-2220 minWe Just Saw A MovieMike and Elizabeth Sign Up For AMC A-ListWe love our fans.

We told you. It's wide ranging.
This one's a g...2018-09-1119 minWe Just Saw A MoviePeppermintFor frequent listeners of our podcast you know how much we enjoy a good, dumb action movie. Peppermint has been on our radar for awhile as one we're particularly looking forward to.
