Thumb War

SPOILER ALERT

Jason and Rachel review The Uprising, Paul Greengrass’ Andrew Garfield historical rebellion movie that somehow becomes a Robin Hood origin story — a twist the marketing apparently decided to spoil before anyone got there.

We get into the rough opening weekend, the confusing Robin Hood pivot, the lack of bows and arrows, Andrew Garfield as the Plowman, Jamie Bell as John Ball, the historically messy Peasants’ Revolt, Richard II going from simpering teen king to strategic despot overnight, and whether the movie’s modern political parallels are too blunt to ignore.

Jason and Rachel review Hope, the bonkers Korean monster movie set near the DMZ that somehow combines horror, comedy, action, alien empathy, anime energy, and a whole lot of running.

We get into why the movie is very long but rarely boring, the incredible production design, the cowardly/incompetent police chief who somehow becomes hilarious, the rookie cop stealing the show, the gross-but-funny alien dissection scene, the baby alien reveal, the creepy hunter garage, and Michael Fassbender’s digital alien.

Rachel is back from Nova Scotia, and she brought stories, thrift-store intel, small-town pop-in trauma, and a new insult Jason immediately regrets hearing.

This week’s Patreon episode has throat burps, lake-house dreams, naked-door-answering strategies, Wharf Rat Rally leather-daddy discourse, Frenchy’s chaos, Rachel discovering “gutter sluts,” Jason refusing to wear chaps and Crocs, Hazel learning the vacuum is the real enemy, Nathan Fielder’s secret Elizabeth Holmes doc, Dolly Parton mourning, and Metro-box drama.

SPOILER ALERT

Jason and Rachel review Onslaught, a bloody throwback super-soldier B-movie that somehow includes weird kinks, terrible old-man makeup, exploding jack-o’-lanterns, bad barbecue, poison gas, practical squibs, and Dan Stevens looking like Cousin Matthew got trapped in a student film.

Jason wanted to like it. Rachel maybe kinda did. Mostly, it made us want to watch The Guest and Overlord instead.

Jason, Rachel, and Jesh continue their Star Wars journey with The Last Jedi, aka the movie that split the fandom in half like Snoke in a red throne room.

In our spoiler-filled review, we dig into why Jesh saw the movie five times in theaters, why Jason still loves Rian Johnson’s take, and why Rachel is having a harder time with Luke, Poe, Snoke, Rose, and one deeply upsetting green-milk moment.

We also talk about the opening bombing run, Poe’s Marvel-style comedy, the “bombs in space” nitpicks, Leia using the Force in space, Holdo not telling Poe the plan, Rose Tico, Canto Bight, Kylo Ren smashing his mask, Rey and Luke on Ahch-To, the sacred Jedi texts, and the jaw-dropping Snoke throne-room scene.
