(01:11:12)
  • Key Takeaway: The movie Materialists, starring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal, was disappointing because the chemistry between the leads did not build effectively.

Reviewing ‘The Wrong Paris’

(01:14:28)
  • Key Takeaway: The movie The Wrong Paris was deemed a ‘good, bad’ movie that the host would not rewatch, despite enjoying the premise.
  • Summary: The film was criticized for moving too fast, with the central relationship developing too quickly without sufficient buildup. The host found the actors, including Miranda Cosgrove, almost too pretty, which detracted from the believability. The premise, being lightly based on The Bachelor, was appealing, but the execution was lacking.
Reviewing ‘The Girlfriend’

(01:18:26)
  • Key Takeaway: The Girlfriend is a psychotic but excellent show, earning an A grade, with Robin Wright and Olivia Cook delivering amazing performances.
  • Summary: The host was shocked the other host hadn’t immediately watched the next episode due to the intense cliffhanger in episode four, where a character thought to be dead is revealed alive with his mother. Robin Wright, who also directed episodes, was praised for being incredibly sweet to the host when they were an extra on House of Cards. The show is highly recommended despite its increasing craziness.
Reviewing ‘Love Island Games’

(01:21:47)
  • Key Takeaway: Love Island Games is leaving something to be desired in its cast, but the increased $250,000 prize money is making the game more ruthless.
  • Summary: The current cast is described as leaving ‘a little bit to be desired,’ suggesting a lack of megastars from the US version. The introduction of Gabby and Casey, who recently broke up after winning All Stars, is expected to stir drama. The higher prize money is shifting the focus from finding love to securing the cash, which should lead to more ruthless gameplay.
Reviewing ‘Black Rabbit’

(01:29:03)
  • Key Takeaway: The series Black Rabbit, starring Jude Law and Jason Bateman, is a compelling watch set in New York, earning a B-plus grade.
  • Summary: The hosts debated whether Jude Law or Jason Bateman is the bigger star, concluding Bateman likely holds the edge in fame. The show is engaging enough that the host was locked in and not checking their phone while watching. The premise is good, and the host intends to watch the entire season, which is set in New York.
