This episode is a must-watch for film enthusiasts interested in detailed critiques and entertaining discussions. Just a heads up, we are still adjusting to life on video.

No multi-cam this week but it should be back for our next episode with some better audio as well. 00:00 Welcome to Watch Skip Plus! 02:28 Icebreaker: Q and Alex 06:23 Lifestyle Twist: The Plus Segment 19:18 Below the Line 30:09 Cast Grab! 44:49 Spoiler Free Thoughts: Joker 2 01:04:51 Spoiler Section: In-Depth Analysis 01:28:15 Podcast Recommendations and Closing Remarks The Athletic Non-Alcoholic Beer: https://athleticbrewing.com/collections/beer Will Smith is stinky?: https://variety.com/2024/film/news/will-smith-farted-men-in-black-set-evacuated-three-hours-1236166286/ Email us: WatchSkipPlus@gmail.com We are now on YouTube: www.youtube.com/@WatchSkipPlus

    NAB CROSSOVER Substance Movie Review

    Episode 98: The Not A Bomb / Watch Skip Plus crossover is here and it’s a TWO AND A HALF HOUR JOURNEY!  PODCASTERS ASSEMBLE! Not a Bomb and Watch Skip Plus do their first ever epic crossover episode and it’s a doozy: All four hosts were hanging out together live and in person for a whole week so they all just had to share the fun times with all the listeners!  First up, NAB’s special segment on Baltimore Comic Con and the treasures Troy and Brad found while Cupcake talks popping his Comic Con cherry. And FILMS…the films we watched!!!!  The crossover plus is a surprise taste test of a limited edition drink. Then the Watch Skip’ers and NAB dudes review Coralie Fargeat’s sophomore feature film: The Substance starring Demi (It’s duh-MEE) Moore and Margaret Qualley. Believe it or not, due to the format of both pods, the film matches both shows’ criteria: a new release and a bomb (box office figures are showing weak weak turnout).  Is this indictment of society’s impossible beauty standards a BOMB or is it a stunning theatrical “Do I keep watching or walk out?”, gross-out body horror experience?
