Late To The Party - The Lego Ninjago Movie

7/10/2024
Can a movie made of plastic bricks keep you entertained for 90+ minutes? Join us as we humorously journey through our unexpected viewing of The Lego Ninjago Movie. We admit, our decision was purely for the laughs, and let's just say we found ourselves multitasking midway. As expected though, we have to dissect Lego Ninjago, and that means we must highlight the film's star-studded voice cast and praise its animation quality. But is humor enough to save an underwhelming film? While the infamous "L-Loyd" joke brought some smiles, our excitement dwindles as we discuss the film's pacing, length, and missed opportunities with its talented cast. We hit all the classic beats for this episode, from comparing this to other Lego hits like The Lego Movie and Lego Batman to acknowledging our slightly bitter adult perspectives, we leave no stone unturned—or should we say, no brick unstacked. Letterbox'd Synopsis: Six young ninjas are tasked with defending their island home of Ninjago. By night, they’re gifted warriors using their skill and awesome fleet of vehicles to fight villains and monsters. By day, they’re ordinary teens struggling against their greatest enemy…high school. 🔻You can find all important links for the podcast over at https://linktr.ee/waitforitpodcast (which includes our brand new Patreon site!)🔺 🔻BACKGROUND MUSIC PROVIDED BY: "Extenz - Gravity" is under a Creative Commons license Music promoted by BreakingCopyright: https://bit.ly/extenz-gravity 🔺 Enjoyed the episode?

6/5/2024
What if your family could save the world from a robot apocalypse? On this episode of Late To The Party, we unpack the electrifying journey of "The Mitchells vs. The Machines," an animated film that blends humor, heartfelt moments, and stunning visuals. Directed by Mike Rianda, this quirky Netflix gem follows a dysfunctional family who unexpectedly become humanity's last hope. As we reflect on the film's initial hurdles and why it took a while to catch our eye, we share our thoughts on its dynamic animation, compelling storytelling, and standout characters. Comparing it to animated blockbusters like "Into the Spider-Verse" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," we highlight why "The Mitchells vs. The Machines" holds its own despite not having the same level of groundbreaking narrative.

Late To The Party - Mad Max: Fury Road

5/8/2024
Have you ever sat down, completely alone, as the screen lit up with a world so chaotic yet captivating that you felt every pulse-pounding moment in your bones? That’s exactly what happened to Eric and Phil when they first saw "Mad Max: Fury Road." Join us as we break our hiatus with a bang, diving headfirst into the dystopian chaos and beauty of George Miller's masterpiece. From the unforgettable score to the relentless pace that never lets up, we've got a lot to say about this high-octane adventure. And with "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" on the horizon, we're revving up our engines for what's next in this gritty universe. The legend of Max Rockatansky is one shrouded in dust and mystery, and no one wears that mantle quite like Tom Hardy. But let's be honest, did he fill Mel Gibson's boots, or did he leave us parched for more of Max's past? Let's not forget the ensemble cast that brought their A-game, especially Nicholas Hoult, who deserves a victory lap for his role. Tensions, apologies, and the raw power of practical effects—it's the meaty discussion you didn’t know you needed. Reflecting on a decade since "Fury Road" tore through theaters, we're peeling back the layers of its legacy. Did it redefine what we expect from action films? Absolutely. We'll even toss around our thoughts on its influence over the eagerly awaited "Borderlands" adaptation—can it deliver the same gut punch, or will it be left in the dust? Speculation abounds as we consider alternate realities where Eminem or Heath Ledger helmed the wheel as Max. The future's looking as wild as the wasteland, with the "Furiosa" spin-off gearing up to take us back to the madness. Buckle up, listeners, because every Wednesday is a new escape into the worlds of gaming, anime, and entertainment—just wait for it. Letterbox'd Synopsis: An apocalyptic story set in the furthest reaches of our planet, in a stark desert landscape where humanity is broken, and most everyone is crazed fighting for the necessities of life. Within this world exist two rebels on the run who just might be able to restore order. 🔻You can find all important links for the podcast over at https://linktr.ee/waitforitpodcast (which includes our brand new Patreon site!)🔺 🔻BACKGROUND MUSIC PROVIDED BY: "Extenz - Gravity" is under a Creative Commons license Music promoted by BreakingCopyright: https://bit.ly/extenz-gravity 🔺 Enjoyed the episode?

Ever found yourself reminiscing about the good old days of co-op gaming? Phil & Eric take a nostalgia-packed journey through the wild terrains of "Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands." We crack open our gaming diaries to share the laughter, the camaraderie, and even the technical hiccups that made Wildlands the digital playground we couldn't get enough of. Strap in for a podcast that's part trip down memory lane and part love letter to the game that brought us together across state lines. Diving into the heart of Wildlands, we couldn't help but marvel at the beautiful chaos only a game like this can provide. We reminisce about those heart-pounding, stealthy missions, the joy of a perfectly executed plan, and the sheer absurdity when it all goes to hell. There might have been some narrative and aging flaws in this gem, but we argue that the spirit of co-op play still makes it shine bright. Plus, we certainly didn't shy away from musing over the what-ifs surrounding the Splinter Cell and Predator crossovers. Our gaming gabfest doesn't just stop with Wildlands, though. We poke around in Ubisoft's sandbox, comparing the game to the likes of the Far Cry series, and dissect the studio's recipe for open-world enchantment. While shaking our heads at the missteps of Ghost Recon Breakpoint, we can't help but wonder about Ubisoft's magic touch—or sometimes lack thereof.

And, whether you're part of the fandom or fresh to the scene, you're in for an episode that jabs at your funny bone and uppercuts your emotions. Remember that time when Eminem’s music could make any scene epic? That's the sort of nostalgia we're stirring up as we revisit "Real Steel" and its embodiment of the 2010s vibe. But it's not all about the past; we're also throwing our two cents into the ring about the future, speculating on the potential for a sequel or a streaming series. Will Hugh Jackman return to his role if there's a next round? Can robot-fighting action still captivate today's audiences, or will it need to transform to appeal to a new generation? We tackle these debates head-on, with engaging insight and a dash of playful banter. To all our Wait For It Podcast listeners, get ready for an episode that's as electrifying as a championship bout. So, lace up your gloves, step into the ring, and let's get ready to rumble with an episode that promises to be nothing short of a heavyweight champion. IMDb Synopsis: In the near future, robot boxing is a top sport. A struggling ex-boxer feels he's found a champion in a discarded robot. 🔻You can find all important links for the podcast over at https://linktr.ee/waitforitpodcast (which includes our brand new Patreon site!)🔺 🔻BACKGROUND MUSIC PROVIDED BY: "Extenz - Gravity" is under a Creative Commons license Music promoted by BreakingCopyright: https://bit.ly/extenz-gravity 🔺 Enjoyed the episode?
