Unsolicited Flick Picks Sam & Maria

It's Spooky Season! To celebrate, Sam convince Maria to watch the classic slasher flick Scream! This movie is full of twists and turns, great 90s fashion, and a couple of bad ass women. Does it get better than that?!

This week we went on an Odyssey to find you listeners the worst best movie in this universe. This 1989 gem starring the beautiful Bo Derek, has truly got it all: Ghost Husband, A shady pearl business, public nudity, inexplicable elephant rides and beach baseball games. You really have to see it to believe it folks. This fever dream of a movie is only a 2.1 on IMDB and only made an estimated 25k in the box office.

Try to keep up while we try to explain this movie to you and I hope we sound coherent.

Fans of well crafted time travel sci-fi movies, prepare to be disappointed! Fans of raunchy, late night humour, you might be mildly satisfied!

Hot Tub Time Machine, starring John Cusack, Craig Robinson, Clark Duke and Rob Corddry, is the 2010 answer to the question: Can we make a movie based on this random string of words?

Giving respect when it's due, this movie does offer some great cameos from pre-Marvel Sebastian Stan, and 80s supervillan Billy Zapka ( Cobra Kai! Strike First. Strike Hard. No Mercy) Another exceptional aspect of this movie is its tight runtime coming in at 1 hour 40 minutes. We love to see it folks.

This week we are talking about the Cinderella adaptation no one asked for. Which is appropriate because no one asked us to talk about it either!

We've got a real mish-mash cast with Camilla Cabello at the head as Gen Z Cinderella in a completely undetermined time period, singing arbitrarily chosen songs with the help of folks like Idina Menzel, Peirce Brosnan, and my nemesis, James Corden. I'm still recovering from seeing him in Cats, and then we had to see his dumb face in a flash mob, in one of the weirdest publicity stunts we've seen.

This movie definitely gets some things right, but of course made some bold choices that may not have all paid off. Maria can't figure out what year it takes place and Sam remembers an embarrassing core memory from Jr High.



In the end thought, the Cinderella with Brandy and Whitney Houston still reigns superior. 

Switching things up a little this week and talking about the best and worst movies that were adapted from books! 

These two camps of people are really passionate about the things that they love, tell a book lover that you thought the movie was better? War crimes. Tell a movie buff that the book was better? Burned at the stake for being pretentious. 

And here sit Maria and Sam, who kind of straddle both sides, but are also in neither, but i guess more so into movies??? IDK where we fit into this age old battle, but we're here to talk about movies based on books!

It’s a very special Maria Flick Pick! This week we watched the 2006 Amanda Byne’s masterpiece She’s the Man. Also starring widdle baby Channing Tatum, and the absolutely hilarious David Cross. This movie is filled with classic hijinks, bamboozles and shenanigans. Oh and also just so much tom foolery. And did I mention hoodwinks? There’s boatloads of that. Amanda Bynes is comedic genius, going undercover as her brother… to play soccer. I appreciate the scam, but I mean all to play a sport?! The girl loves to kick I guess. This movie will absolutely make you for real LOL, give you so many new quotes and make you seriously consider what your favourite cheese is.
