Ep 416 – Super Troopers 2 – KATG
*FILMS DISCUSSED: I FEEL PRETTY, SUPER TROOPERS 2, BEIRUT, EQUALIZER 2, LIFE OF THE PARTY, DEN OF THIEVES, MAZE RUNNER* Keith and The Girl are back! They give an honest review of I Feel Pretty. Chris liked Super Troopers 2. Graham was surprised by BeiruTrailersers are not great, but who cares when Infinity War is here!
Planes is an abomination wrapped inside a bullshit party. That’s
really all I want to write about this endless crap festival of a film
but since this is a review, I’m supposed to keep going. AND I SHALL.
The Way, Way Back... is way way awesome!
Groundbreaking? Not exactly, but there’s a reason that certain stories are well-trodden: Because we want to see them again and again. Meatballs is one of my favorite movies. Vintage Bill Murray from 1979. The Way, Way Back is basically the same story: Awkward boy, who nobody appreciates, comes-of-age one summer when he meets the coolest guy in the world, who inexplicably sees something great in him, and brings it out.

I was just as likely to be found reading Famous Monsters Of Filmland magazine as Hit Parader.

DetailsAnother Comic-Con has come and gone, and every year I’m amazed when people that I know would love it, tell me they’ve never gone. If you’re one of these people, I suggest you stop listening to your agoraphobic, pseudo hipster, nerd poser, fun impaired excuse for a friend and make the trek. Comic-Con is a blast, especially if you’re attending for the first time, and it should be on every self-respecting fanboy or fangirl’s bucket list. Granted, having a successful Comic-Con adventure can be a bit of an undertaking, so here are some answers to the most common “Con”questions I’ve heard over the years.
