You're Wrong You're Wrong

You're the boys' long-lost sibling, Wrong Lee.

Once again abandoned by their so-called "friends", Chris and Luciano had to suffer through the cringefest that is Double Dragon on their own.
This movie is one of the most 90's thing to ever come out of the 90's. No, seriously. By the time I was done watching this movie, somehow I was wearing a bomber jacket and had a plaid flannel shirt tied around my waist. Which is even weirder than it sounds, because I'm pretty sure I had nothing but my birthday suit on when I started watching it.
... what, I like to be comfortable while (re-)watching shitty movies, OK? Don't take this away from me.

The only right thing they did was cast Sean Connery. Whether accepting the role was the right thing for him to do, though, is very much debatable.

Once again Matt-less, Spencer takes over hosting (and nerd-wrangling) duties as he, Chris and Luciano discuss the early 2000's masterpiece that is The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. What's that? Oh, sorry... it seems I've misspelled shitshow up there.
There's very little to salvage in this movie, not gonna lie. But hey, at least they had the decency to leave out some of the really awful, gruesome shit that was part of the graphic novel. No, I'm not going to provide examples; even this podcast has standards. If you absolutely must know, Google "What did Hyde do to The Invisible Man?" for yourself. But be forewarned: immediately after you do, you will really wish you hadn't.

After watching this god-forsaken movie, my brain was as nuked as Indy should have been inside that stupid fridge.

Another beloved franchise ruined by a shitty sequel. This time, a franchise near and dear to every nerd's heart: Indiana Jones. Chris, Luciano, Matt and Spencer tackled the atomic dumpster fire that is Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, a name as obnoxious as the movie is bad.
I won't even try to comment on it here; it would be too long a description, honestly. Just listen to the episode. Hopefully, hearing the movie torn to shreds will provide some measure of catharsis for all of us.

The 2021 movie, I mean. But I'm sure you're very wrong about other entries of the franchise as well.

This week, the nerds went back to video-game movies and decided to watch and discuss Mortal Kombat. This one disappointed them less than most of the previous movies they've picked recently, but that's a really, really low bar.
Be that as it may, however, they did have quite a few grievances with it. No surprise there, I know. Now, while a few of those grievances are pretty straightforward and sensical, some others are quite... out there. Like disturbingly, concerningly out there. You've been warned. 👀 

Qualifying how wrong it is or what it might be wrong about would imply there's something right about it. There isn't.
———————————————
Chris, Luciano, Matt and Spencer chose Jurassic World: Dominion for this week's episode. Why, I couldn't tell you. Quite honestly, I don't they even know. What I can tell you is that they violently regret it.
How can an action movie with dinosaurs and giant flaming locusts in it be this boring? It has to be some sort of f****d up achievement to be able to accomplish that, right?
Oh, and they had the gall to release an extended version of this clusterfuck — which was the version Luciano watched, the poor, miserable bastard. And while it seems like you can actually polish a turd, given his overall less vitriolic review of the movie, it nevertheless doesn't change the fact that a turd is all that it is. 💩

And in other news, water is wet and the sky is blue.

Back to their full roster, the nerds thought it would be good to get back to the 2020's and chose to watch, dissect and brutalise Black Adam, the latest (at the time of this posting) installment in the DC Expanded Universe.
Now, the pedants among you might be wondering why an episode about a DCEU movie isn't in the DCEU Movies season/series. The reason is quite simple: it's because fuck you, that's why. 😘
Back to this glass of warm water of a movie: if I had to describe it with a single word, it'd be disappointment. The source material is incredibly interesting; Dwayne Johnson certainly looks the part (even though he certainly lives up to his nickname with regards to both his on-screen charisma and his acting ability beyond just playing himself); and most of the casting choices were very solid (Henry Winkler did catch me by surprise, though, not gonna lie). So what the fuck happened?
What's that now? Warner Bros. is what happened? Yeah, that tracks. 😒
