Bored As Hell Cast

Mockingjay Part II – It’s the final Hunger Games movie! Everyone gets a moment to shine. We forget Jennifer Lawrence can actually act. You finally won … Continue reading 26 – And Popcorn for Black Friday →

This week we review The Peanuts Movie and SPECTRE, plus give our recommendations of other James Bond movies we like even more. The Peanuts Movie – It’s certainly a Peanuts film. Totally nail the vibe, the characters, the voices, and even how disconnected a lot of the little vignettes are from one another.  Inclusion of two modern songs … Continue reading 23 – The name is Brown. Charlie Brown. →

This week we review Burnt, Our Brand is Crisis, and Truth. They’re all a little bit boring, so we recommend better movies of the same type: Wag the Dog and Primary Colors. Burnt – Bradley Cooper channels Gordon Ramsay, and you would’ve been better watching 2 episodes of Hell’s Kitchen. This is instead like the food it’s about: overwrought … Continue reading 33 – Our Brand is Boring, Burnt Crisis →

We review Jem and the Holograms, Rock the Casbah, and Steve Jobs, then Andy presents his favorite Disney Halloween scary movie and Adam presents his favorite funny horror movie. Jem and the Holograms – Who is this movie for? Not Jem fans. Not the rising generation. Not a bad film, just not a very good one. … Continue reading 21 – Rock the Steve Jobs →

We review the foreclosure Faustian drama “99 Homes” and the Peter Pan Prequel “Pan” along with our recommendation for best alien-themed Halloween movies. Pan – a bad prequel that doesn’t do what a prequel is supposed to do. Pan doesn’t even get his powers until the last five minutes. Why are the pirates singing Nirvana? … Continue reading 19 – I got 99 Homes but a Pan ain’t one →

It had as much to do with the Stonewall riots as Stonewall … Continue reading 18 – Sicario, The Walk, The Martian →

We’ll be back Monday, October 5 to start a month of Halloween-themed episodes! Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials picks up where the last … Continue reading 17 – Black Scorch Everest →

We review M. Night Shayamalan’s The Visit and indie offensive rom-com Sleeping With Other People, including an interview with director/writer Leslye Headland at the end of the episode. Also, our favorite “politically incorrect” movies. The Visit had potential, and even has some good parts in it, but it’s clunky and has a trite ending. What happened to  … Continue reading Episode 16 – Sleeping With Other Shyamalans →

We review A Walk in the Woods, Learning to Drive, and recommend movies “based on a true story”: Milk and All the President’s Men. Journalistic ethics. The shakeup at Marvel Studios. A Walk in the Woods is nice, beautiful shots of nature, but as charming as Redford is, it just doesn’t work.  Adam give it 5/10, Andy gives it … Continue reading Episode 15 – Is This Real Life? →

We lost one of the great ones in Wes Craven. Our In Memoriam is tacked on the end of the episode because we heard right after we finished recording. We also review No Escape, We Are Your Friends, and talk about iconic movie soundtracks. No Escape – Owen Wilson, Luke Bell and family try to escape … Continue reading Episode 14 – In Memoriam: Wes Craven, No Escape, We Are Your Friends →

Not much to see this week as the movie studios try to hide their films from critics. But we did see Hitman: Agent 47. And we were not impressed. So instead we talk about other good August releases to remind us the end of summer doesn’t have to be a crapfest. Hitman: Agent 47 is so boring. It … Continue reading Episode 13 – Hitman Get Whacked →

We review indie comedy Fort Tilden, Guy Ritchie’s spy drama The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and the NWA biopic Straight Outta Compton. Fort Tilden won the Grand Jury prize at SXSW and there’s a reason for that. It’s hilarious and a great commentary on the whole hipster/bohemian/millenial thing. Two girls living in Brooklyn try to take a … Continue reading Episode 12 – Straight Outta U.N.C.L.E. →

We review The Gift, Ricki and the Flash, Shaun the Sheep, and Fantastic Four. The Gift – Joel Edgerton wrote, directed and starred in this creepy thriller. Jason Bateman is a douche. Andy has a Fruedian slip and calls Rebecca Hall “Allison” (he was distracted by Allison Brie). Tense, slow burn, but ambiguous ending. Andy and … Continue reading Episode 11 – Fantastic Four is neither Fantastic nor Four. Discuss!! →

Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation and Vacation are both worth your precious time and movie dollars, but Adam liked both just slightly more than Andy. Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation – This is the 5th movie in the series and by no means the worst. Maybe not as good as some of the other movies. Amazing … Continue reading Episode 10 – Mission: Impossible – Rogue Vacation →

We review Paper Towns, Southpaw, and the abomination that is Pixels. Warning: the Pixels review contains some NSFW language and plot spoilers, but, seriously? Pixels was spoiled long before we started talking about it. Paper Towns – Good high school coming of age story as Quentin tries to follow clues to find Margot, but the … Continue reading Episode 9 – Show me where the bad Adam Sandler video game movie touched you →

We review Ant-Man and Trainwreck, the run down our favorite Micheal Douglas movies. We’re joined again by Brooke from TwoFeministMoms.com. Trainwreck has all of the problems most Judd Apatow movies suffer from: somebody get that guy an editor. Really funny. Amy Schumer is awesome. LeBron James and John Cena try to steal the movie. It’s … Continue reading Episode 8 – Thomas the Trainwreck →
