279. Christmas with the Kranks

This is the most Republican movie I've ever seen.

278. Austin Powers in Goldmember

Definitely starting to show the cracks here. The best bits are recycled jokes from the previous movie or the cameos.

Absolutely nothing about this movie has aged horribly I swear.

277. Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me [R]

Generally less good than the first movie but there are certain jokes that land way harder.

276. Kingdom Hearts Real Time Fandub

And I'm Yuffie.

275. Dispatch

This definitely feels more like an 'interactive TV show' than a Telltale game would have - most of your choices and relationships don't really matter and how well you play doesn't tie into the story much.

I enjoy the character work a lot though, even if some of it is.. creepy.

274. J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit (Maple Films Edit)

Kinda just proves this could have been two movies without any real issues. Flows really well, even if it is a shame we had to cut all of Christopher Lee and Sylvester McCoy's scenes.

273. Jackbox Party Pack 11

Played this with a couple groups now - the biggest strength of this pack is turning what were generally the weakest game types into something fun. The trivia and social deduction games are top notch. Doominate and Hear Say are also a great time.

272. State of Play Japan

i like sonic racing crossworlds :)

271. Mitchell and Webb Are Not Helping

It's fine. Really feels like a couple of 50 years olds trying to revive the sketch comedy genre when it's not really dead (ITYSL clears this by a mile).

There's a recurring sketch in every episode where the only joke is "Austalians swear a lot" and that's it.

270. Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery [R]

The funniest joke in this movie is that Austin understands consent better than the guy he's a parody of.

269. Timeless Love (2019)

Local car crash victim abuses save-states to speedrun getting married to white bread photographer.

268. Stars War

Pretty epic.
November 8, 2025 at 7:50 AM
267. Scream 4

Very funny that this was likely considered an over-exaggerated commentary on internet fame culture and livestreamers 14 years ago, but nowadays...
November 2, 2025 at 7:51 AM
266. Scream 3

The scariest part of this movie is Gale's new haircut.
November 2, 2025 at 5:50 AM
265. Macbeth: David Tennant & Cush Jumbo

God, I would have killed to see this live.
This Shakespeare guy is pretty good, I hope we see more from him.

264. Star Wars: Visions - Black

Holy fucking shit.
October 30, 2025 at 7:30 AM
263. Umamusume: Pretty Derby - Beginning of a New Era

Amazing that with a higher budget, they decided to just make a psychological horror movie with a character that would ruin Rintaro Okabe's life.
October 28, 2025 at 3:01 AM
262. Scream 2

At what point do you just put her into witness protection?
October 26, 2025 at 8:50 AM
261. The Haunted Mansion (2003) [R]

These characters have a shockingly calm reaction to finding out that ghosts, Heaven, Hell, Purgatory, and butlers are real.
October 26, 2025 at 6:38 AM
260. Pokémon Legends: Z-A

As someone whose first Pokémon was X, parts of this game felt like a warm hug from an old friend; especially when the story picks up and it really rewards you for that.

Quite enjoyed the battle system, the characters are great (hi Corbeau). Solid time.
October 24, 2025 at 5:40 AM
259. Gen V (Season 2)

Solid enough but as with The Boys it leans a little too hard on gross-out moments and "wow isn't it so wild to see superpowered characters do sex things?" without really having much to say about it.

As far as spin-offs go, this is in the upper echelon.
October 22, 2025 at 10:02 PM
258. Death Becomes Her

This is Chappell Roan in movie form.
October 13, 2025 at 8:02 AM
257. Van Helsing

I'd dock points for being a total mess that overuses mediocre CGI and turns the hero and villain into weird cartoon monsters for the final fight while a really cool Alan Silvestri OST plays but every superhero movie does that now so if anything it's ahead of its time.
October 12, 2025 at 7:13 AM
256. Space Chimps

The kinda movie that the teacher puts on at the end of the school year only for everyone to talk through it because nobody fucking cares.
October 9, 2025 at 11:01 AM
255. Family Guy's 2025 Halloween Special "A Little Fright Music"

You know it's bad when the voice chat starts rewriting the jokes to land better as we go on. You can tell Disney asked them to make the special and they dragged their feet.
