Bored As Hell Cast

Only one movie this week– Sully by Clint Eastwood and starring Tom Hanks and Aaron Eckhart. It’s one of Eastwood’s best and one of Hanks’s best too. Andy was worried it was going to be American Sniper Clint Eastwood who yells at empty chairs, but instead we got Unforgiven / Mystic River Clint Eastwood who is a … Continue reading 66 – Don’t Sully Sully →

Our episode is late, we are tired after making it through Salt Lake Comic Con. Hear highlights from that as well as a tribute to Gene Wilder. Oh, and we saw The Light Between Oceans and Morgan. 

So… movies continued to come out this week, but not screened for critics. Instead, we decided to take a breath and run down our five favorite movies of the year (in no particular order) along with two honorable mentions from each of us. Then we gush over the movies we’re excited about for the rest … Continue reading 64 – Slow Week →

Worst to first, we have the remake of Ben-Hur, semi-true story about Iraq military contractor dude bros War Dogs, new modern western classic Hell or High Water, and animated masterpiece Kubo and the Two Strings (coming soon to an Oscar win for Best Animated Feature near you)

It’s a weird assortment of movies this week, with Pete’s Dragon, Florence Foster Jenkins, and Sausage Party. We go in order from most kid-friendly to adult and tell you where you can find us at Salt Lake Comic Con Sept 1-3.

Suicide Squad confounds critics and critical aggregators, but kills it at the box office. Adam and Andy break down everything wrong with the movie, everything right with it, and everything wrong with Rotten Tomatoes. Guardians of the Galaxy. Characters, not plot. The old gray battleship of DC. Don’t let marketing people cut your movie.

Bad Moms brings the funny, Batman: The Killing Joke is funny, but in a different, disturbing, awful way, and Jason Bourne is well. . .  Jason Bourne in a followup to the popular spy franchise. Bad Moms – When good moms decide to blow off all the things they do to keep their kids’ lives running, this is what happens. Also … Continue reading 60 – The Bourne Bad Moms Killing Joke →

Lots of movies this week! We didn’t see Ice Age: Collision Course (sorry), but we have horror thriller Lights Out, BritCom Absolutely Fabulous, and of course Star Trek Beyond! Lights Out is a cool concept but the director telegraphs every move and scare. Not good. 1/10 Absolutely Fabulous might be for fans of the series only, but it is uproariously good for … Continue reading 59 – AbFab Beyond →

It’s the Ghostbusters reboot! And a movie about Bryan Cranston and the drug trade! The Infiltrator is the story of Robert Mazur who went undercover to follow the money of Pablo Escobar’s cartel in the 80’s. A true story! And great acting, but the pacing kinda drags. Adam gave it 5.5/10, Andy gave it a straight … Continue reading 58 – The Ghostbusters Infiltrator →

It’s our shortest episode ever- Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates and The Secret Life of Pets are pretty self-explanatory– and good! Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates earns its R-rating, but its four leads are so charismatic it’s hard to dislike them, even if they’re being sociopathic douches. Very funny, and very wrong. Andy gives it 7/10 The … Continue reading 57 – Mike and Dave Need the Secret Life of Pets →

Lots of movies for the Fourth of July weekend! We start with The Legend of Tarzan, The Purge: Election Year, The BFG, and Swiss Army Man. The Legend of Tarzan – 4/10 The Purge: Election Year – 6.5/10 The BFG – 7.5/10 Swiss Army Man – 8/10

This week we take on Blake Lively’s shark attack movie The Shallows, Matthew McConaughey fights for good ol’ boy southern freedom and equality for people of all races in the Civil War drama Free State of Jones, and we bitch about how awful Independence Day: Resurgence  is. Warning: spoilers. Luckily, this movie is spoiler-proof, as it comes pre-spoiled for … Continue reading 55 – The Shallow Free State of ID4: Regurgitation →

The big movie of the week is Finding Dory, and stick around to the end for our late-breaking In Memoriam to Anton Yelchin.  Random topics in this episode: better than popcorn but not as good as caramel apple sucker, Octodad. Pixar sequels and best Pixar movies, judging on the Spider-Man scale, seeing The Shallows and Jaws … Continue reading 54 – Finding Dory →

It’s Warcraft, The Conjuring 2, and Now You See Me 2. We also get sidetracked talking about Patrick Wilson for a few minutes and see our list of 13 original movies that came out this year in case you’re tired of sequels, reboots and adaptations.

It’s our birthday episode! Also we review Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows and Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping. We also celebrate our birthday and reminisce about the last year, how we got into reviewing movies, etc.  

We review Alice: Through the Looking Glass and recap our previous reviews of The Lobster and X-Men: Apocalypse. Don’t listen to the cynical critics about X-Men: Apocalypse, which is out this week and Andy and Adam previously gave a 7 and an 8 to, respectively. Did you not hear that episode? Stay a while and listen! Alice: Through the Looking … Continue reading 51 – Alice Through The Lobster Glass →

Andy and Adam have major disagreements on Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising, and we review The Nice Guys and Angry Birds. Then we talk about the controversy around Ghostbusters. . . and “ethics in film journalism.” Worst to first means we start with Angry Birds. We don’t need this much backstory.  Bright, colorful, and definitely Angry … Continue reading 50 – Angry Neighbors 2: Nice Guys Rising →

This week we review X-Men: Apocalypse, Money Monster, and talk a lot about boob windows and if they’re sexist or not. #FassbenderPeenWindow Money Monster should have been more exciting. Script is kind of boring and never delves into why we should care. Unlike The Big Short, which had Margot Robbie in a bubble bath to … Continue reading 49 – Money Monster Apocalypse →

We almost come to blows over Captain America 3: Civil War, as the redoubtable Brooke Heym argues for Team Iron Man against Andy and Adam, still on Team Cap. Minor plot spoilers, but nothing major.  We will do a spoiler-filled deep dive in a few weeks. The moral dimensions of the debate. Loyalty. Did Brooke watch … Continue reading 48 – Civil War →

This week we’re down a castmember (we miss you Brooke!) but Andy and Adam review the catastrophe that is Mother’s Day and the spectacular Green Room and Sing Street. Also, Keanu came out this week, but if you want to hear about that, listen to our previous episode when Andy saw it at SXSW, when … Continue reading 47 – Mother’s Sing Street Green Room Day →
