    Pixar Hot Takes

    Watch The Video Version Here. Pixar used to feel like a sure bet: the kind of animated movie you see opening weekend without checking a trailer, because you trust the storytelling. Lately, that trust feels shakier and we’re not quiet about it. We go from real-life “what was terrible” chaos (including the special misery of TCAP testing logistics and a household bug) straight into a no-filter family debate about what Pixar still does well and what it’s lost. We each throw our favorite Pixar movies on the table and defend them like it’s court: Up for its message and emotional punch, Toy Story 3 for the action and the ending that felt final, Monsters Inc for peak characters and heart, and Coco for its twists, music, and bold cultural storytelling around family and death. Then we pivot to underrated picks like Monsters University and Onward, plus the small details Pixar fans love, from Easter eggs to the feeling of a shared Pixar universe. The real fireworks start when we talk sequels. How soon is too soon, how late is too late, and when does “continuing the story” turn into a cash grab? That quickly becomes a Toy Story argument, complete with hot takes on Toy Story 2 vs Toy Story 4, side quests into Cars and Inside Out, and a bigger question about whether Pixar still leads the animation world compared with studios like Sony, DreamWorks, and Illumination. We even read brutal one-star reviews of beloved movies, because sometimes the internet is the most unhinged focus group you’ll ever meet. If you love Pixar movies, hate Pixar movies, or just miss the era when Disney Pixar felt unstoppable, hit play and come argue with us. Subscribe, share with a friend who has a spicy Toy Story ranking, and leave a review telling us your most unpopular Pixar opinion. Fighting The Suck Since ©2026 Relatively Terrible

    Our Family Review Albums Outside Our Taste

    Watch The Video Version Here. We wanted to know if our strongest music opinions are real or just comfortable, so we forced a test: each of us picked an album for someone else that they would never choose on their own. Then we listened all the way through and came back with ratings, a marketing pitch, and the kind of blunt honesty you only get from people who actually know each other. If you like music review podcasts that talk craft, lyrics, and culture without pretending every take is “nuanced,” you’ll feel right at home. Josh ends up stuck with Jelly Roll’s “Self Medicated” and breaks down why the production can’t save what feels like a spiral of drugs, sex, and despair. Rachel lands on Babymetal’s “Metal Forth” and explains why the metal-pop-anime blend is weirdly close to working, even when the vocals and language barrier make it hard to connect. Calvin goes off on Chappell Roan’s “The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess,” which opens a bigger argument about explicit lyrics, shock value, and what counts as meaningful songwriting. Jackson takes on Lil Wayne’s “Tha Carter VI” and questions cohesion, repetition, and how overproduction can flatten a full album into background noise. From there we zoom out to the streaming era: rage-based algorithms, why pop often gets a pass, why metal gets judged faster, and how audiences can mistake catchy for good. We wrap with a little palate cleanser of what’s actually been good lately, from Dragon Con plans to Gravity Falls and new books. If you enjoyed the chaos, subscribe, share this with a friend who argues about music, and leave a review with your most unpopular album opinion. Fighting The Suck Since ©2026 Relatively Terrible

    Rapid-Fire Family Favorites

    Watch The Video Version Here. The fastest way to learn who someone is? Put them on the spot with “favorite” questions and let the arguing begin. We open with what felt truly terrible this week, including our reaction to the live-action Moana trailer and an all-too-real dentist rant, then we hit the gas on a rapid-fire round that turns into a full personality reveal. We trade picks for favorite movies, foods, and songs, bouncing from The Dark Knight to Back To The Future, from fried chicken and potatoes to anything Mexican, and from Alice Cooper to Underoath with a surprise shout for the Wallace & Gromit theme. Along the way, we get into holiday loyalty, boredom habits, and the kind of misheard lyrics debate that only happens when you’ve known each other forever. If you love funny conversation podcasts, sibling-style roasting, and pop culture opinions with zero filter, this one is built for you. Then we go deeper without getting sappy: favorite family memories, Universal Studios nostalgia, inside jokes that never die, the best things we’ve filmed together, and the weird food combos we can’t explain but still stand by. We wrap by sharing what we actually like about ourselves and end on a “not so terrible” win from the week. Subscribe for more Relatively Terrible, share this with someone who’d argue their favorites loudly, and leave a review if you laughed. What’s your all-time favorite movie or your weirdest food combo?

    Project Hail Mary Reviewed

    Watch the video version here. The ACT test is brutal, birds in the walls are unsettling, and somehow all roads lead back to one thing: Project Hail Mary. We sit down as a group and give our honest spoiler-free review first, including quick ratings, what surprised us, and why the movie feels like a rare modern sci-fi win that you can actually watch with almost anyone. If you care about a great theater experience, we talk about why the IMAX scale, the sound, and the practical sets make the space visuals feel real instead of plastic. Then we get into what we loved most: the pacing that “hits the ground running,” the mystery-driven structure that reveals the backstory at the right time, and the way the film makes the science feel essential without turning the story into homework. We also dig into performance, tone, and why the humor works without leaning on profanity or cheap shock. And yes, we spend time on Rocky, because that character is a huge part of the heart of the film. After a clear spoiler warning, we unpack the biggest reveals, the moral twist that reframes the mission, and the book-to-movie changes that fans will actually want to debate. If you’re deciding between reading Andy Weir’s novel, listening to the audiobook, or seeing the film first, we give you enough context to choose without ruining the fun. Subscribe for more reviews, share this with a sci-fi friend, and leave a rating or review. What did Project Hail Mary score for you out of 10? Fighting The Suck Since ©2026 Relatively Terrible

    Can We Really Trust Movie Reviews?

    Watch the video version here. A movie has a 90% score, your group chat swears it’s amazing, and the trailer looks safe enough to spend the money. Then you sit down… and feel absolutely nothing. We’ve all been there, so we decided to test a bigger question: can you trust movie reviews anymore, or are we letting Rotten Tomatoes, IMDb, and influencer hype do our thinking for us? We start with Hoppers, a highly rated animated release we went into with an open mind and walked out giving a brutal score. We break down why the comedy didn’t land, why the story never earns its emotions, and how the movie’s “hopping” technology sets rules only to break them. Then we get into the deeper frustration: messaging that tries to make everyone “right” while avoiding real consequences, which can feel especially messy in a film aimed at kids. We also talk animation quality and why inconsistent craft can pull you out of even a simple story. To prove ratings can be wrong in both directions, we defend Heavyweights (1995), a low-rated comedy that still works because it knows what it is and commits. From there we shout out movies we think are properly rated yet overlooked, including Thunderbolts for its surprisingly clear take on isolation, mental health, and needing other people, plus Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die for its chaotic, sharp warning about tech obsession and self-destruction. We wrap by drawing a line between useful criticism and empty hating, because you can be honest without being cruel. If you’re tired of being told what to like, hit play, then subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review with the last movie score you completely disagreed with.

    Rethinking Hot Takes: Challenging Our Own Biases

    Watch The Video Version Here. What happens when we stop defending our hot takes and start stress-testing them? We dive headfirst into the culture wars we usually snipe from the sidelines—movies, music, TV, social media, influencers, and comedy—and challenge ourselves to separate taste from truth. The spark: a creator admitting past opinions were wrong. From there, we map a plan to revisit the art and trends that make our skin crawl and ask a harder question: can empathy and discernment live alongside strong preferences? We start with film, picking at Disney’s sequel habit, the Rotten Tomatoes echo chamber, and whether early hype helps or harms. Box office doesn’t equal quality, and streaming’s long tail can turn yesterday’s “flop” into tomorrow’s cult classic. The “agenda” debate gets real too. We argue that every story carries a message, but the difference between a moral and a lecture is subtlety—and the best movies trust the audience to find their own meaning. Music brings the most friction. Discovery feels broken when algorithms push virality over craft. We push back on glossy perfection, pitch correction, and sterile mixes while still committing to test our bias against pop and hip hop. If the lyrics, storytelling, or production intent are strong, we’ll name it—even when it’s not our vibe. TV catches heat with reality formats we call emotionally manipulative, but we also admit why “easy” viewing helps when life is heavy. Then we square off with parasocial “family” talk on social apps, rage-bait algorithms, and influencer “kindness content” that can look more like performance than help. Brands, do better with partnerships; creators, consider impact off-camera. We close with comedy’s tightrope: it’s not that nothing can be joked about, it’s that lazy shock and one-sided politics miss the point. Great comics still punch through with craft, timing, and humanity. Along the way we share a few wins—new music crushes, rediscovered bands, and hype for Project Hail Mary—that remind us why changing your mind is a gift. Hit play, then tell us which take we should rethink next. If you enjoy the show, follow, rate, and share with a friend who loves a good opinion autopsy.

    From Photo Albums To Password Hell: What Innovation Broke!

    Watch The Video Version Here. Ten episodes in and we’re asking a blunt question: where did “convenience” quietly make life worse? We start with coffee pods—why speed and plastic turned a daily ritual into something thin and wasteful—and move straight into streaming bloat, where exclusives, rising prices, and ad tiers make cord-cutting feel like paying more for less. From there, we trace how subscriptions swallowed everything: design tools, groceries, games, and loyalty apps, all nibbling at your wallet while dulling your sense of ownership. We get personal about photos and memory, too. Remember flipping through a heavy album at your grandma’s? Phones gave us great cameras, but feeds and filters flattened meaning. We talk about printing yearly highlights, resisting the churn, and choosing constraints that make images feel like moments again. Then we tackle short-form news and outrage cycles—how bite-sized certainty kills nuance and replaces real local action with performative takes. If you’re craving less noise, we share practical ways to rebuild attention: smarter sources, fewer apps, and more community. Review culture gets a spotlight. When herd ratings on IMDb or Rotten Tomatoes swing with brigading, the cure is taste you own. We share how to use reviews as a map, not a verdict, and why sampling first—pilot episodes, sample chapters—keeps curiosity alive. Finally, we make predictions: AI-generated ads flooding screens, preorder fatigue draining joy, tech distorting intimacy, and a near-term slump in writing as volume outruns voice. The hope? A correction powered by audiences who still back real craft. If you’ve felt nickel-and-dimed by subscriptions, burned by streaming sprawl, or starved for art with fingerprints, this one’s for you. Listen, then tell us what modern “innovation” you’d gladly roll back. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs a reset, and leave a review with your top fix—we’ll read our favorites on the show.
