Bored As Hell Cast

This week we celebrate the life and influence of Prince, but not before talking about The Huntsman: Winter’s War. How did this movie get so good? It’s a pre-sequel! Seriously, this movie should have been horrible, and it’s somehow pretty good! Female characters and costume design are fantastic. The rest? Maybe not as much. The … Continue reading 46 – The Huntsman: Prince Tribute War →

Andy, Adam and Brooke review The Jungle Book and Criminal. One is excellent and the other is awful. Guess which one is which? Criminal is awful. Zero out of 10. Yes zero. The Jungle Book is amazing! Jon Favreau! The visuals! The voice acting! 3D problems. Things we missed, things we didn’t miss.

We’re back! Andy is out of the hospital and ready to review movies again, so this week we’ve got Melissa McCarthy’s The Boss and sci-fi instant classic Midnight Special. The Boss – from director/writer Ben Falcone (also real-life husband of Melissa McCarthy) a rags to riches to rags story who ends up turning to her former assistant, Kristen Bell. Wackiness … Continue reading 44 – The Boss of Midnight Special →

Adam and Brooke get drunk at FanX and review Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2.  Then we all talk about our favorite FanX panels.  Warning: LOTS of swearsies. This episode is not safe for work or younger ears. We won’t do this often, but this felt like the … Continue reading 43 – NSFW FanX Drunk Batman v Greek Weddings show →

Just say no to Allegiant as we instead review In a Valley of Violence, Slash (both premiered at SXSW) and You’re Killing Me. And we discuss the highs and lows of the Batman and Superman movie franchises. In a Valley of Violence – a great, classic Western with modern sensibilities and a really cute dog. … Continue reading 42 – You’re Killing Me, SXSW! (And Bats v Supes Throwdown) →

We’re joined again by Brooke Heym to talk 10 Cloverfield Lane and Andy’s adventures at SXSW including Key and Peele’s Keanu . We also break down the Captain America 3: Civil War trailer and break down over it. 10 Cloverfield Lane – forget everything you think you know about Cloverfield. This isn’t like that at all. Character drama between the … Continue reading 41 – 10 Cloverfield Keanu #SXSW Civil War →

We’re once again joined by Brooke Heym as we review London Has Fallen, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, and Zootopia. London Has Fallen is a sequel/lazy rehash of the first movie. The production delays and “creative differences.” Laughable script. Ridiculous premise. “Time of the month” jokes. A dick flick, not a chick flick. But stuff blows up, and … Continue reading 40 – WTF? Zootopia has Fallen →

Gods of Egypt, Eddie the Eagle, and Triple 9. We’re joined again by Brooks Bird of The Cinenerd’s REEL Voice and Brooke Heym. Gods of Egypt is horrible and worthy of all the scorn heaped on it. Racist, sexist, incomprehensible, and boring. No. Just no. Andy gives it 1/10 and Brooks is afraid of what … Continue reading 39 – Gods of Eddie the Triple 9 →

We review Risen, The VVitch, Race, and make some predictions and suggestions for The Academy Awards coming next week. Make sure to follow @sithbot_ and @boredashellcast for Oscar live-tweeting from Adam. Risen – the story of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ told through the eyes of a Roman soldier. Wasn’t that the same plot as the … Continue reading 38 – Jesus, Witches, and Jesse Owens →

This week Andy and Adam are again joined by Brooke to help review How to Be Single, Where to Invade Next, and Zoolander 2. How to Be Single – kinda all over the place, but its cast is charming enough to make up for it. A story of self-discovery masquerading as a screwball comedy. Adam still doesn’t like Dakota … Continue reading 37 – How to Be Zoolander 2 →

We take on Hail, Caesar! and Deadpool, joined again by the inimitable Brooke Heym. Hail, Caesar!– new Coen Brothers wacky comedy about kidnapping in the Golden Age of Hollywood. It’s a silly movie about deep issues set against the backdrop of a movie studio, and all of those great pictures of yesteryear that just aren’t … Continue reading 36 – Hail, Deadpool! →

Kung Fu Panda 3, The Finest Hours, and from Sundance: Project Avalanche, Werner Herzog’s Lo and Behold: Reveries on the Connected World, and Newtown. Kung Fu Panda 3 – not as good as the first two, but still very good. Bryan Cranston and JK Simmons steal the movie. Kung Fu movie tropes and the zen existential … Continue reading 35 – The Finest Kung Fu Panda 3 and Sundance hits the Feelz →

This week we review the Best Animated Feature nominated stop motion animated Anamolisa, the Oscar-dominating survival film The Revenant, and Adam talks about what he’s seen at Sundance so far: The Greasy Strangler, Other People, The Lobster, Norman Lear: Another Version of You. Anamolisa –  directed by Charlie Kauffman, produced by Dino Stamatopolous (nee “Starburns”), this should’ve been … Continue reading 34 – Sundancing 2016, The Revenant, Anamolisa →

Adam reviews 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi and we discuss this year’s nominees for the Oscars and Razzies. 13 Hours – It’s a Michael Bay movie. More like live action Call of Duty. But apolitical, for what it’s worth. Gets bogged down trying to humanize the soldiers when they’re pretty undifferentiated otherwise. But big action … Continue reading 33 – #BENGHAZI!! →

Our long-awaited, spoiler-fueled breakdown of all things Star Wars: The Force Awakens. We’re joined again by the irrepressible and redoubtable Brooke Heym. All music in this episode to celebrate the life and legacy of David Bowie, who Andy has always been a little too obsessed with. (Fun drinking game: drink any time Andy used a … Continue reading 32 – We Spoil Star Wars: The Force Awakens →

Happy 2016! Here’s our best of 2015, with links to the original episodes we reviewed the movies in!

This week we review Carol, Joy, The Big Short, and The Hateful Eight.  Then we discuss our five least favorite movies of the year. We’re doing something different with the soundtrack this week: in celebration of The Beatles discography now being available streaming, Andy just threw on a bunch of his favorite Beatles tunes. Carol – Not sure how … Continue reading 30 – Joy to the Carol of the Big Short Hateful Eight →

We get to review “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”. . .  but first we have to eat our vegetables and review “Alvin & the Chipmunks: The Road Chip.” Oh, The Road Chip. You are a literal piece of crap. Because you are a franchise who advertises poo-eating in your trailers, and the pee and poo … Continue reading 29 – The Road Chip Awakens →

We review In the Heart of the Sea, Macbeth, and finish our countdown to The Force Awakens with a detailed rehash of Return of the Jedi.  And Adam dishes out Shame! pronouncements via his new app. Macbeth is bloody, violent, dirty, sexy, and altogether not Macbeth. The performances are good, but they tried to change this so much and … Continue reading 28 – In the Heart of the Macbeth →

This week we review Krampus, Trumbo, and continue our countdown to The Force Awakens with The Empire Strikes Back. WARNING: This episode, while still def in the PG-13 range, contains a bit more language and discussions of some subjects that may not be appropriate for your kids. Sorry, bitches. Krampus – If the idea is appealing to you … Continue reading 27 – Have Yourself a Deadly PG-13 Christmas →
