Movie Meltdown - Episode 395
This week the Meltdown
Gang decides to go see Guy Ritchie's new movie
King Arthur: Legend of the Sword. Was
that a good decision? Well... let's talk about it.
And while we search the listings for
more German opera at the movies, we also bring up... the problems
with network television shows, I'd be happy to get the fruit salad,
Fargo, talk about towers, things are now... vehicles for the items
that are attached to it, stab the eyes of the editor, A Knight's
Tale, it's fantasy... and then grit, Prometheus was Excalibur set
in space, out of the people you know... who would you cast as Jaws,
you... who are a caricature of a nerd, growing up on the streetz,
and it was all Reservoir Dogs, it's like they made a twenty hour
movie, if they had bothered to explain that, those aren't turkey
legs, watching idiots talk into a microphone, disjointed, Gods of
Egypt, face down in the mud, cannibalism is fine as long as it's
deep-fried, a demographic hole, I don't even know what I watched,
Footloose, I don't think I've brushed my hair in a week, was it
political or was it accident, Dirty Dancing, three-day event horse
stuff, the story was way bigger then any of the characters,
Kingsman: The Golden Circle, somebody get Guy Ritchie on the phone,
empty theaters, there's hope... and abandonment, Radio Reader, the
complete Moses story... with some Harry Potter thrown in, oh it's
like they made Skyrim into a movie, Game of Thrones, a mythical
critter and I don't know why he's screaming.
Spoiler Alert: Full spoilers
for "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword". So go see it in the theater
before you listen. Or if you wait a couple of weeks, it will
probably be on Netflix.
