Paul AcyGUEST
He's a famous villain from the Batman universe, but every great villain is from Batman, right? He has so many fantastic villains.

Paul AcyGUEST
But this is an R-rated movie, kind of a psychological thriller, and it's about sort of his origin story where he becomes Clayface.

Paul AcyGUEST
He starts off as this brilliant, handsome actor who, who lands in a disfiguring accident.

Paul AcyGUEST

Is this a remake?

Paul AcyGUEST
Way back in the day, Jane Austen wrote, uh, in 1811, actually, wrote Sense and Sensibility, and it's about these, uh, sisters who are on the verge of poverty, even though they're sort of in the, in the realm of, of Victorian fashion and that type of thing.

Paul AcyGUEST
Jane Austen, the original book, of course, is just delightful because Jane Austen is a fantastic writer, and this one will follow suit.
J

Paul AcyGUEST
I thought that when Endgame first came out in 2019, it was honestly and still is one of my favorite movies.

Paul AcyGUEST
It is just so good, and it is such a delightful, satisfying tapper to so much of the MCU universe.
J

Alan Richden.

Paul AcyGUEST
You know, the thing is, it's kind of interesting because in Reacher, he plays the character so flat, as he should, right? But when we've seen him in other things, he can act a little bit better.
J
77:50JTHOST
So what's going on? When is Passion of the Christ back in theaters and when's the new one coming?

So is this back to the old days of the coyote and Well,

Paul AcyGUEST
Yeah, so essentially what we have is Coyote has been chasing the Roadrunner ever since, you know, 1949 is when he started this chase.

Paul AcyGUEST
And he realizes as the movie goes on that one of the problems might be his over-reliance on Acme products.

Paul AcyGUEST
You know, all the explosives that he uses, all the dehydrated boulders he's tried on the Roadrunner, all of these crazy, crazy gadgets, all of them sort of backfire.

What's this all about?

Paul AcyGUEST
It stars Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor, and they are parents of these two teens.

Paul AcyGUEST
They're having some trouble maritally, they're having some trouble with their kids, but all that sort of gets lost when their entire neighborhood gets zapped up and taken to a prehistoric world where they have to deal with a lot of dinosaurs and giant snakes.

Paul AcyGUEST
But it does have a lot of really cool dinosaurs, lots of action, lots of violence, some pretty nice family messages, actually.

Paul AcyGUEST
It does have some issues that if you're wanting to take the kids to this, it definitely is very violent, and it has some other issues that I think families would want to wade through.
J
47:55JTHOST
So what's what's it all about? And also, who are the stars in this one?

Is there anything that might come close to moving Spidey to the back seat? No, there's absolutely

Paul AcyGUEST
You know, Spider-Man did make, like— It literally made $360 million in North America alone and made nearly a billion dollars worldwide.

Paul AcyGUEST
And there's no way that anything else is going to challenge it for this weekend at least.
