BATTLEFIELD EARTH (2000) | This Was Hard to Finish (Low)

from Movie HighLow · host Movie HighLow

This isn’t just a bad movie… it’s an endurance test. This week on Movie HighLow, we take on Battlefield Earth (2000) — a sci-fi epic that somehow became one of the most infamous flops of all time. 👽 Psychlos 🐀 Man-animals 📉 9 Razzies (yes, NINE)   What was supposed to be a massive sci-fi franchise starter turns into a confusing, overlong, and honestly exhausting experience. We get into: Why this movie feels way longer than it is John Travolta’s wild performance (and endless villain laughs) The infamous “Dutch angle” overload The bizarre tone that never quite lands And the moment that almost makes it worth it: 👉 “DO YOU WANT LUNCH?!   🎬 Plus: The confusing plot and uneven world-building Why the concept actually had potential And how this movie became a textbook example of what not to do   👉 It’s not fun-bad. 👉 It’s not good-bad. 👉 It’s just… bad. (…with a few unintentionally hilarious moments)   🎧 Listen on your favorite platform: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/movie-highlow/id1894669466 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5F6GMoqeJcahbZtk592a9a   📲 Follow Movie HighLow: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moviehighlow

Explicit The Midnight Cinema Screening Unkn  Welcome to The Midnight Cinema Screening.This is basically the place where we hang out after midnight and talk about movies and TV shows that stuck with us… the good, the bad, the weird, and the ones that probably shouldn’t exist but somehow do. I also talk about true crime. If you love horror, cult classics, creepy shows, and the occasional random deep dive into something strange, you’re in the right place. Nothing here is super scripted or overly serious. It’s more like sitting around with friends after a late-night movie, breaking down what worked, what didn’t, and the moments that made you pause the screen and go, “Wait… what just happened?”Some episodes we’ll be reviewing movies.Some we’ll be talking about TV episodes.And sometimes we’ll just go down a rabbit hole about the weird history behind something we watched.So if you like late-night movie talk, dark stories, and conversations that feel a little unfiltered Explicit
