Hate Watching with Dan and Tony

Prepare for an epic clash of opinions as Dan and I tackle the cinematic spectacle that is "47 Ronin," with none other than Keanu Reeves leading the charge. This isn't your typical samurai tale; it's a whirlwind of fantasy, questionable character choices, and a wild Dogecoin gamble that's almost as fantastical as the film itself. You won't want to miss the fireworks as we go head-to-head over the film's rewatchability, the enchanting yet underutilized witch, and the mishandling of a hefty Netflix budget. Venture with us into the murky waters of "47 Ronin's" often bewildering narrative choices, where samurai and sorcery collide with mixed results. The emotional weight of classics like "Gladiator" hangs over our discussion as we consider what elements could've bolstered this film's storyline. We don't hold back, pondering the cultural authenticity versus Hollywood glitz and the stumbles in engaging international audiences. Plus, we've got a full roster of other screen gems and blunders to dissect, from the reality-warping "Gogglebox" to the eerie authenticity of "Baby Reindeer." Rounding out our cinematic rollercoaster ride, we sift through the confusion and entertainment that "47 Ronin" provides, questioning Tengu Forest's narrative oddities and the climax's chaotic escape. And for the aesthetically driven, we share thoughts on "Rebel Moon's" visual appeal despite its narrative shortcomings. So, whether you're here for the critique, the comedy, or simply to hear Dan and I spar over the merits of on-screen sorcery, you're in for a treat. Just press play and join the debate that's as sharp as a samurai's blade and as unpredictable as a witch's spell. Be our friend!

Ever wonder if a head-scratching film can actually be a prequel without telling you? This week, Dan and Tony tackle the circuitous storytelling of "In a Dark Place"​—yes, that adaptation of "A Turn of the Screw"—and wrestle with a climax that's more bewildering than a plot twist in a labyrinth. We're peering through the lens of both laughter and critique, dissecting the odd dynamics between characters, the seemingly gratuitous scenes, and the perplexing sexual undertones that leave us as befuddled as a pair of detectives at a ghost convention. Hold onto your popcorn, because our cinematic safari doesn't stop there. We're diving into the murky waters of "The Turning," where the sudden pivot to religious symbolism in the film's final moments leaves us gasping for air—metaphorically speaking. From improvised dialogue that feels like a game of narrative Mad Libs, to character decisions that defy logic, we keep the banter buoyant as we navigate the stormy seas of this adaptation's attempt at provocative storytelling. And if you think ghostly encounters with dolls and masked figures are where the weirdness ends, think again. It's a whirlwind of wonky jokes and untapped drumming potential that might just have you questioning the very fabric of cinematic comedy. So join Tony and me as we muse on everything from the oddities of art therapy in film to the strange allure of schoolyard dynamics—all while maintaining a healthy dose of skepticism about whether our beloved Finn Wolfhard could have been the saving grace of a haunted Bly Manor.

As we dissect this adaptation entangled in the same web as Mike Flanagan's "The Haunting of Bly Manor," we're left scratching our heads at the plot twists and character dynamics that seem to play a game of flashlight tag with our understanding. From questionable '90s music choices to the deeper meanings behind tattoos and empty gumball machines, join us for a dissection of a film that teeters on the edge of the supernatural and the sanity of its characters. Lean in and listen closely as we hold nothing back, critiquing the film's attempt to blur lines that perhaps shouldn't have been drawn in the first place. Our analysis is rife with the enigmatic aroma of old polaroids, the whisperings of ghostly children, and a lake with secrets as murky as its waters. As we ponder the unsettling advances of one character and the mysterious pasts of others, the haunted house backdrop serves as the perfect canvas for our spirited dialogue. And who could forget the classic "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" references as we navigate the cobwebbed corridors of haunted houses and debate the virtues of a savior in this eerie maelstrom? Wrapping up with a bout of laughter and some sage advice from a UCB comedian on the art of universal humor, we tackle the significance behind every misplaced spider and disembodied hand.

Our episode isn't just about the cringe-inducing antics of a film that can't decide if it's a comedy or a gross-out festival; it's a laughter-laden voyage through the mishaps of a potential laugh riot that somehow forgot to pack the punchlines. With a sprinkling of personal tales, we tiptoe around the landmines of lackluster humor and baffling character choices that left us more confused than amused. "Destined for Greatness?" Hardly. As we step into the Hollywood dreamscape with Bucky and his bewildering rise to adult film fame, we can't help but chuckle at the absurdity of it all. From the peculiar bee-in-shorts debacle to the Midwestern accent that chews the scenery harder than a locust swarm, we navigate the film's attempts at comedy that miss the mark by a country mile. Amidst the side-splitting banter, we also ponder what this film could have been with a bit more narrative polish and character depth – a true Cinderella story for the adult industry, perhaps? As we wrap up our cinematic roast with a generous helping of sage recommendations, we're not just about the belly laughs; we're here to steer you toward the promised land of entertainment. Find out why we're applauding the latest season of "Taskmaster," which books are keeping us hooked, and why you might want to give "Argyle" a chance despite its mixed reviews.

Prepare to be astonished as we, your intrepid hosts Dan and Tony, tear into "Madame Web" a superhero fiasco that plummeted from high expectations into the depths of cinematic despair.

Strap in, folks, because we're peeling out on a cinematic odyssey that may just shift your perspective on those so-called "flops" rattling around Tinseltown. Remember "Monster Trucks"? That's where we're kicking things off, but brace yourself—it's not the takedown you'd expect. We're mounting a spirited defense of this underdog, digging into what it really takes to charm the ankle-biters of the world with Hollywood magic. And while we're talking about charm, let's not forget the behemoth of childhood nostalgia—"Free Willy." We'll unpack the art of the beloved and the berated, all while chuckling at the absurdity of a 26-year-old high school student. As we cruise through this episode, we'll navigate the nooks and crannies of character development—or the lack thereof—in our latest movie watch. Characters like Barry Pepper's sheriff and our MacGyver-esque hero Trip might have you questioning their choices, but hey, that's part of the fun, right? And speaking of fun, what's a monster truck showdown without a good old-fashioned critique of physics-defying stunts, monster intelligence, and a hearty dose of destruction without consequences? Buckle up, because we're in for some laughs, head-scratching moments, and maybe a couple of "a-ha" revelations along the way. Finally, we're revving up the conversation to include a taste of sinister surveillance, monster hunts, and the occasional philosophical musing. Plus, we'll toss some love to director Chris Wedge and his journey from "Monster Trucks" to "Ice Age," proving that in Hollywood, the road less traveled might just be the most rewarding.

That's the vine Dan and Tony are shaking this week as we unpack the jungle of issues plaguing this cinematic misadventure.

Get ready for a ride that's part critique, part comedy, and entirely unfiltered. Let's address the elephant in the room—or should we say the hippo? Tarzan's animal buddies might be on the CGI side of unbelievable, but nothing beats the head-scratching action sequences and a certain character's newfound hobby of rosary-slinging. And while we've got a soft spot for Samuel L. Jackson trying to save the day, even he can't rescue this film from its own narrative quicksand. So, what's more realistic: Tarzan's raw egg diet or Alexander Skarsgård's abs? We're placing our bets. Wrapping up, we take a potshot at the film's attempt to be a sequel without giving us the original, like serving dessert before the main course. We'll leave you pondering whether Tarzan's jungle call should be a signal for help or just a sign to switch off the TV. Whether you're here for our take on the king of the jungle or simply crave a hearty laugh at the expense of Hollywood folly, we've got you covered! Be our friend!

We even take a moment, between the serious analysis, to chuckle at some of the movie's more perplexing decisions and how certain scenes left us scratching our heads.
