G20 on Amazon - A Masterclass in Pure Absurdity 43:51

43:51

We just watched G20 on Amazon Prime, and wow… what did we just witness? A U.S. president fist-fighting terrorists? Deepfake technology being the only believable thing in the movie? This film went completely off the rails — and not in a good way. Let's break down all the chaos, the questionable writing, and the few shining moments (yes, the Pangram tech). G20 had potential, but it chose pure absurdity instead. Watch our review, laugh with us, and let us know if you made it to the end.…

Minted on Netflix – NFT Mania, Hype, and Hard Lessons 30:12

27 days ago30:12

30:12

We just watched MINTED: The Rise (And Fall?) of the NFT on Netflix. This documentary is an interesting and cautionary deep dive into the world of NFTs. We both gave it an 8. While the film highlights the explosive rise of NFTs, it also shows the major risks — especially if you’re late to the party. Plus, selling music albums as NFTs? Yeah... not the greatest idea. Check out our full review!…

Disney+ just released the first 3 episodes of Andor Season 2, and honestly, we’re confused. It doesn’t feel or even look like Star Wars anymore. Episode 2, especially, was a complete non-starter. While we’re hoping it gets better as the season progresses, the spark we expected just isn’t there yet. Here’s our full reaction and breakdown.…

We just watched Banger on Netflix, and honestly, we're completely confused. The movie had an interesting premise — a washed-up DJ trying to reclaim the spotlight with a new banger while working with an intelligence agent to take down a rival. But the execution? A complete mess. The story was all over the place, and it left us wondering what this film was even supposed to be about. Tune in to hear our thoughts!…

32:18

We just watched The Electric State on Netflix, the latest film from the Russo Brothers, starring Millie Bobby Brown. And wow…this one missed the mark. The film had the potential to be an epic sci-fi adventure, but instead, it felt like an over-budget movie aimed at kids. Millie’s performance? Not great. She plays yet another bratty, immature character, and it just doesn’t work. Was this film a visual spectacle with no substance? Let’s talk about it!…

Basil Barrington & DJ Keo are back with The Gorge on Apple TV+, and while this film has great bones, Apple completely missed the mark. The action and sci-fi elements were solid, but the romance felt out of place. Cut that out, and you might have had a great film!
