Xanadu

This week on Myopia Movies, we dive into the explosive world of buddy cop chaos with our latest episode on Rush Hour 2. Join us as we unravel the mystery of how Jackie Chan's impeccable martial arts and Chris Tucker's endless chatter somehow make for cinematic gold. We'll explore the finer points of high-kicking action and laugh-out-loud banter, all while questioning why these two keep finding themselves in increasingly ridiculous situations. Spoiler: It's because we love it. Tune in for a whirlwind tour of Hong Kong and Las Vegas that will leave you wondering if you, too, could survive a casino brawl and still have time for a comedy routine. How will Rush Hour 2 hold up? Host: Nur Panel: Nic, Alex, Keiko  

Welcome back to another episode of "Myopia Movies," where we strap in for the cinematic car crash you can't look away from! This week, we embark on a journey to the lunar land of broken dreams and bad investments with Adventures of Pluto Nash. Picture this: Eddie Murphy in space. Sounds promising, right? Well, hold onto your moon boots because this isn't the star-studded, sci-fi spectacular you might imagine. Instead, it's a $100 million black hole of comedy that makes you question everything—your taste in movies, your life choices, and even the concept of money itself. Join us as we dissect the plot—or the lack thereof—of this lunar lunacy, featuring a club owner who dreams of… well, owning a club. From the laughable special effects to the "did-they-really-think-this-was-funny?" dialogue, we'll navigate the rocky terrain of one of Hollywood's most notorious box office bombs. So, buckle up and prepare for a mission to the dark side of the moon, where the only thing lower than gravity is the bar for comedy. Adventures of Pluto Nash: It's out of this world... and straight into the bargain bin. How will Adventures of Pluto Nash hold up? Host: Nur Panel: Keiko, Nic, Charlie, Daniel Directed by: Ron Underwood Starring: Eddie Murphy, Rosario Dawson, Jay Mohr, Randy Quaid, Joe Pantoliano, Luis Guzmán, Peter Boyle, Pam Grier, John Cleese, Alec Baldwin

Jackson's role as Mr. Glass, a villain whose evil plan involves extensive knowledge of comic books and a truly enviable collection of turtlenecks.  Get ready to break down every slow-motion scene, every cryptic conversation, and every moment you wondered if M. Night Shyamalan was pulling an elaborate prank on all of us. Is Unbreakable a misunderstood masterpiece or just an elaborate exercise in testing your patience? Tune in and find out! Don't miss it!

This week on Myopia Movies, we lace up our roller skates and journey back to the glitter-soaked fever dream that is Xanadu. Join us as we watch Olivia Newton-John and a surprisingly spry Gene Kelly sing and skate their way through a plot so thin you could roller disco right through it. We'll break down the movie's mix of Greek muses, neon lights, and baffling dance numbers, and ask the burning question: Is this a cult classic or just a 96-minute music video that got wildly out of hand? Grab your glow sticks, because this is one trip to Xanadu you won't soon forget. How will Xanadu hold up?

How will Constantine hold up?  Host: Nic Panel: Daniel, Keiko, Alex, Dan   Directed by: Francis Lawrence Starring: Keanu Reeves, Rachel Weisz, Shia LaBeouf, Tilda Swinton, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Djimon Hounsou, Gavin Rossdale, Peter Stormare
