War of the Worlds (2025) - Coworker Movie

Описание: Send us a Question! (https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/tex...)


PARTY PLEASER: 


Kathryn joins Melvin to summarize this year's cherry-picked so-bad-its-good movie, War of the Worlds (2025)! Featuring a cast of fairly known names (Ice Cube, Eva Longoria, Devon Bostick, Clark Gregg, and many more) this odd adaptation of the H.G. Wells classic limits its prose to a computer screen. What could go wrong?  


Topics:

• (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) (https://tinyurl.com/3e486yxz) 20-minutes discussing Chris Columbus' pull quote on the Harry Potter Reboot, "What's the point?", and the unique nature of rebooting Harry Potter as a series unlike other franchises that offer spinoffs, prequels, or alt-universe tales. (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) (https://tinyurl.com/3e486yxz)  
• The entire film is told through the prose of a computer screen (and sometimes cellphone screen). How do Kathryn and Melvin feel about this?
• Ultimately, the film is in over its head, and it isn't even sure how to handle dialogue and drama let alone thrills and action sequences.
• Yapping about how movies sometimes advertise products and how Tesla does NOT come out of War of the Worlds (2025) looking good.
• Beefing with Will Radford since he's a bad character and a bad dad.
• Melvin ponders why movies like this take off and how the streaming as a distribution format influences this sort of thing.
• The third act of the film, specifically the climax, is when everything bizarre and noteworthy happens.
