Shownotes

Today marks the 1-year anniversary of the FoF podcast feed. To celebrate, I went on my biggest FoF rant to date (yes, even bigger than Happy Gilmore 2). But which film broke me? In this episode, I review "Spinal Tap II", "The Long Walk", and "A Big Bold Beautiful Journey". (We also touch on the Emmys, the new Mitchell & Webb sketch show, and the Charlie Sheen documentary.)

TIMESTAMPS
My 1 Year Podcasting Anniversary!!!
Emmy’s - congrats to Owen Cooper
New Mitchell & Webb Sketch Show
A call from Darling
Binged the Charlie Sheen Netflix documentary
3 Reviews coming up, here’s your due warning of the vibes
-
-SPINAL TAP SPOILERS- (for what it’s worth)
“SPINAL TAP II: THE END CONTINUES” REVIEW!
Slight “Happy Gilmore 2” syndrome
The core 3 still give enough
But it feels a bit thin
It doesn’t destroy the legacy of the 1st movie

-THE LONG WALK SPOILERS-
“THE LONG WALK” REVIEW!
My journey to see this movie was genuinely cursed
To me, it’s a tacky premise
Nothing takes me out of a movie more than THIS
Cliche characters and cliche dialoge
No visual flair
I probably would’ve loved this as a teenager, so there’s that

-A BIG BOLD BEAUTIFUL SPOILERS-
“A BIG BOLD BEAUTIFUL JOURNEY” REVIEW!
The Rant Begins.
They would never wait that long to kiss
I’m not saying attractive people can’t be sad, but…
The lead performances aren’t working for me
So annoying so boring
It’s not meaningful, it’s not emotional
I couldn’t believe when this happened
Zero chemistry. HOW????
My steak digestion was more interesting
This SHOULD be my thing
