The Voices
This week’s subject is a movie neither of us could make heads nor tails of. Marjane Satrapi’s “The Voices” has a killer premise and boasts a virtuosic performance from Ryan Reynolds as a man whose pets command him to kill – which makes it all the more unfortunate that it seems to be so tonally…

Mac and Devin go to High School
Snoop Dogg is a popular face of a particular culture. A well established rapper and icon but what is he like as an actor? Awful, but he’s not alone. He and Wiz Khalifa drag the audience through a hour and a quarter of terrible acting, awful script, and horrid misogyny. Listen to this weeks podcast…

The Emperor’s New Groove

Unfortunately, we seem to have run out of Star Wars movies,…

Holy Water
Afarce is something that I would consider difficult to get perfect. Comedy is such a diverse and varied taste that it would be nearly impossibleto suit everyone. This film is a bad farce. Missed jokes, slow punchlines, and a very weak story has resulted in a movie that very few people would like. 31 mins

Chasing Amy
Taking a break from the testosterone-fuelled insanity of The Warriors last week, we change things up with a rather earnest and sentimental comedy, albeit one livened up by Kevin Smith’s trademark flair for vulgarity. We enjoyed Chasing Amy a lot, although some of its treatment of LGBT issues, which were perhaps more transgressive in 1997,…

Without a Paddle
I stumbled upon thismovie many years ago and although it has a few redeeming features overall it’s a bad movie. It centres around a group of three friends who go of on a wacky adventure to find some lost treasure. One can’t get a girlfriend, one can’t keep a girlfriend, and one can’t let go…
