Movie Meltdown - Episode 438
This week we welcome the return of comedian Justin
Golak to discuss this week's Sofa Theater
feature: Ryan Coogler's Creed. Plus we go
into some of the other movies we've seen recently, if it's worth
getting a MoviePass and just what is the state of the
modern comedy films these days.
And as we compare and contrast the modern-era Rockys, we also
bring up... Blockers, Rampage, Game Night, The Death of Stalin,
Super Troopers 2, like a puppy, too far Germany, the last days of
me, they can't not do it, the music, Black Panther, born and bred,
I think it's the best comedy on television now, convince the
viewer, weathered wisdom, I've made a commitment to the future,
Chris Rock, bold move as a mom, there's a lot of real tissue
connected to that fictional story, Mystery Team, it's such a legacy
film, you can't out-train it... you can't outlast it, this many
years in, Tessa Thompson, twelve rounds for this man to prove that
he is worthy of being alive, it was like... funnier than you maybe
would have wanted to think it was, I think it's what was written
that drove his performance, a weird real world level, he's
frustratingly likeable, Cobra Kai in Russia, Phylicia Rashad,
theater combat, they're different versions of a fighter, boxing has
just changed so much over the years, the editing, it still works,
it's cool to see the city you live in torn apart, Ivan Drago, The
Rock, Veep, we're in like... the triple part of the triple axel,
you never wanna see the wrestlers that don't plan for their future
and somewhere called Vancouver.
"...to me, this is the hardest move for a franchise to
make."
