Untitled BoJack Horseman Project: Episode 5

Bojack has landed the lead role in WhatTimeIsItRightNow.Com’s prestige TV drama, Philbert, but it turns out a chaotic production and prescription pain pills aren’t good for a drug addict with an extensive history of Terrible Deeds.

Elsewhere, Diane and Mr. Peanutbutter respond to their break-up in very different ways, Princess Carolyn is desperately trying to adopt a child and keep her agency afloat, and Todd has created a delightful monstrosity.

The Superhero Pantheon: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (and The Holiday Special)

For the last five years, Jerome and Brian have been hooked on a feeling… that being reviewing and discussing a long list of superhero movies to determine the very best (and worst) for the Superhero Pantheon (or pile of shame).

This week, they discuss one last movie, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. While there will be a series finale and two more episodes of Pantheon Plus, this is a rather significant episode. There is even a ten minute preamble as Jerome and Brian discuss the holiday special.

Untitled BoJack Horseman Project: Episode 4

BoJack has a daughter?!? Ruh-roh! Unpacking some secret Horseman family history definitely won’t unleash new levels of trauma on our cast! Probably… Maybe…. Hmm….

Meanwhile Mr. Peanutbutter is running for Governor of California, Diane is struggling with her thoughts (and prayers), Princess Carolyn has some big family and career decisions to make, and Todd has some bold ideas for better business.

The Superhero Pantheon: Iron Man 3 (2023 Rewatch)

A movie that is already in the Superhero Pantheon, Iron Man 3 has been a debated film all across this website. It’s only fitting that Jerome and Brian finally review the movie, even though they lost the deadpool bet and put it into the Pantheon by way of gambling with fictional people’s lives.

Ranking the Peter Jackson Films

Still Need to Watch: Braindead, Meet the Feebles, Bad Taste

Peter Jackson is a real interesting case. He’s clearly brilliant on some level, but he also has missed big several times. He will always have a special place in my heart because of The Lord of the Rings films though if nothing else. Continue reading Ranking the Peter Jackson Films

Untitled BoJack Horseman Project: Episode 3

All aboard the Oscar Train, because against all odds BoJack is in the running for Best Actor! We meet his ruthless publicist, Ana Spanakopita, Todd’s ex-girlfriend, Emily, Princess Carolyn’s new boyfriend, Ralph, and the enigmatic Cuddlywhiskers.

Some minor disagreement when comparing Seasons 2 and 3, but as always we select our two favourite episodes, Ben tries to remember all the plots without any notes and we take a stab at the litany of tongue-twisters.

The Superhero Pantheon: Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

Yes, we know it’s probably way too early to put this move up for Pantheon eligibility but gosh darn it, Across the Spider-Verse is pretty much an instant classic. Both Brian and Jerome absolutely love the artwork, music and story. It’s perhaps a little too long, but that doesn’t kill the flow of the film.

Marvel Mondays – Loki: Season 2 Review

Even one of Marvel’s most successful projects wasn’t safe from their downward trajectory, with Loki suffering from a sophomore slump. But worse Loki is still better than most of their stuff and they definitely stuck the landing to salvage the show’s reputation.
