In Episode 154 below, we review Transformers: The Last Knight, War Machine, The Journey, and The Bad Batch. This week we muse about pugs before we dive into our full slate of movies. First Kris deals with Transformers: The Last Knight (3:20), a movie that feeds into Marky Mark’s savior complex with a story dating back to medieval times. Beaten, a little bruised, and exhausted by its stupidity, Kris passes the baton to me, so I can tackle the Netflix film War Machine (19:57), a glacially-paced bore with a strangely stacked cast led by Brad Pitt, and a narrator that doesn’t show up until halfway through the picture. Dave enters the fray next with The Journey (34:14), a decent Irish drama with light comedy and two leads using very different acting styles. Kris wraps everything up with The Bad Batch (46:00), a gritty post-apocalyptic Western with Jason Mamoa, Keanu Reeves, and Jim Carrey?! Before signing off, I give a shout out to Max Covill and John Gilpatrick for having me on their show It’s the Pictures to talk about 80s films and my book.
