"Matt Damon's brother who had drug problems and got clean" is named Ben Affleck 😂
-
I know you both say it’s a waste of time, but you make it seem so intriguing lol
-
"This shit was tedious as hell" 🤣 You guys are my favorite movie critics 🤩
-
I love you guys because you say it like it is, you recognize when the emperor is buck fucking naked. I will wait until it is streaming.
-
Loved this movie. Tied with love lies bleeding for fav of the year. Jesse Plemons gave my favorite performance this year in any movie. 4/5
-
You guys never miss with a review!!
-
I trust your movie opinions because every time you tell us it ain't worth watching, and I go ahead and watch it anyway, you guys are right lol. BUT I have to say...the way Joseph explains movies always makes me wanna watch every single one LOL.
-
Love Joseph coming out with "we're being troll" lol very unexpected and truthful 😂
-
I love Joseph's summation of "Oh I had 3 scripts lying around, 5 friends that are free for two months - let's just shoot this bullshit and slap it together"! It's exactly how I feel and I'm sure it's not far from the truth. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a time limit on the funding or something, so they just phoned it in.
-
Hi Joseph & Nick!👍🏼Thanks for the heads up and review.❤Joseph you're my favorite movie reviewer and always give the best descriptive details and Nick you're an expert on movie history details and actors names and characters.❤Watching the trailer numerous times and seeing the purple loud Dodge, it didn't make any sense. I had a feeling after watching the trailer the movie was going to be pretty off the wall, bizarre and twisted. Joseph, after listening to what you had to say, you're absolutely correct.🎆
-
Super excited for this one, dynamic - gimme ALL the deets -duo! Been in hospital 3 1/2 days, just in, let’s go!🎉♥️
-
When you said the woman dove head first into an empty pool, it made my knees hurt 😆 I was hoping this would be a good movie because I liked Poor Things. Thanks for the review.
-
Full of missed opportunities. I think this was really just an excuse for Yorgos Lanthimos to throw all his fetishes into a blender.
-
Wow, thank you guys for this review!! I needed to listen this type of perspective on the film. I feel this way on Yorgos' dead pan moments not landing on me.
-
Trailers didn't do it for me and I read a review for this they gave away the gist of the stories interesting idea but I'm gonna pass on this. Sucks you guys didn't like this but thanks for the review.

I worked on this film - the script goes into slightly more detail regarding character thoughts, symbolism of items & setting, etc. I think a lot of Yorgos’ filmmaking leans into the mystique of it all - he wants you to analyze the films on your own & come up with your opinion on what it truly means. One can also look into various Greek mythos and see similar themes that are also within these three stories (similar - not exact). Hopefully people give it a shot & form their own opinion of the film, even with poor reviews. It certainly won’t be for everyone. I’m still looking forward to it though! Also the person who played Dr. Evans (the psychiatrist is story 2) is my friend - he’s actually 36. He’s older than Emma Stone. He does look to be in his 20s though!

Oh crap y’all done it now 😂😂😂😂😂they gonna come for y’all in the comments 😅❤😂😂😂 Anyway I loved Poor Things But this this here this right here no! We don’t have to eat up movie he puts out Some are not gonna be good But hey that’s just me
-
I'll wait for streaming. If Lars Von Trier had this cast, it would have been really interesting. It's almost like he's tried to pull some Mulholland Drive/Lost Highway ideas but it became convoluted.
-
Whether you like it or not, it's definitely a film you want to discuss afterwards.
-
Love you guys so so much. Spot on review.🍄🐩
