Despite its stellar cast, the much-hyped Borderlands movie left us scratching our heads. Listen as we dissect why this cinematic adaptation, featuring big names like Cate Blanchett, Jack Black, and Kevin Hart, fell flat. From questionable editing to narrative flaws, we discuss whether Lionsgate was the right studio to helm such a big-budget project. We also explore how it compares to other successful video game adaptations, like HBO's "The Last of Us" and Amazon Prime's "Fallout," lamenting the missed opportunities that could have made Borderlands a hit.
Next, Nitro dives into his review of "House of the Dragon" Season 2. Initially perplexed by character time jumps, Nitro found the storyline captivating once it settled. Finally, we embark on a nostalgic ride with the Apple TV Plus remake of "Time Bandits," created by Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi. With an exceptional cast and brilliant writing, this series pays homage to the original 1981 film while offering fresh, engaging storytelling. Don't miss AP’s thoughts on why this remake is a must-watch!
