#73 - The Magic Mirror Must Have Been Gay

Send a textBuckle up, degenerates—Zach and Josh are back to dissect the week’s media dumpster fires and hidden gems. This time, we’re kicking things off with a new segment: what we watched, what we liked, and what we’d rather gouge our eyes out than sit through again. Spoiler alert: Netflix’s Electric State lands squarely in the eye-gouging camp. Chris Pratt and Millie Bobby Brown try to spark some retro-robot chemistry, but the plot’s so rushed it’s like they forgot to plug in the script. Robots going rogue in a 90s alt-history wasteland? Cool concept. Execution? A two-hour snooze-fest with more holes than a Vegas stripper’s alibi. Josh called it—should’ve been a series, not a movie. Zach’s side-eyeing the liberal Hollywood agenda, wondering if it’s an Elon dig or just another woke sermon. Either way, it’s a hard pass—5/5 for CGI, 0/5 for making sense.Then we pivot to the good stuff: Severance Season 2 finale on Apple TV. Holy shit, this show’s a mind-bender—Adam Scott’s killing it as a split-personality office drone, and Ben Stiller’s basically trolling Scientology with a straight face. No woke preaching here, just pure, unsettling brilliance. We spoiled the hell out of it, so if you haven’t watched, tough luck—go binge and thank us later. The rant train keeps rolling with Hollywood’s DEI disasters: Snow White tanked harder than a lead zeppelin (mirror’s blind if it picks Ziegler over Gadot), and HBO’s black Severus Snape has us screaming “Accio better casting!” Pacific Rim Uprising gets a nod for worst sequel ever—kids saving the day? Zach’s personal nightmare. We reminisce over American Pie and Superbad defining our high school glory days, but can’t name a decent teen flick past 2015—did COVID kill the genre? Toss in some love for Wild Wild West (Will Smith’s Matrix fumble still slaps), a Wicked musical meh-fest, and a plea for Kathleen Kennedy to stay gone from Star Wars, and you’ve got Episode 73.Oh, and we’re begging you to call in—Instagram us your grievances, show recs, or hate mail. What’s the last great high school movie? Hit us up, or we’ll assume you’re too busy rewatching Project X to care. Like, subscribe, share—let’s keep this infinite weekend rolling. Support the show
