Ep 267: Chronicle Review

from Watchin It Hosted by Donnell & Robert

“Three teens get powers. One takes it too far.” As the countdown to the podcast’s finale continues, Donnell and Robert dive into Chronicle, a unique blend of superhero origin story and found footage thriller. But this isn’t your typical cape-and-mask affair. It’s messy, grounded, and if you ask Donnell, probably how powers would really play out if a bunch of angsty teens suddenly had them. In this episode, the hosts break down why Chronicle was such a surprise success, how it handled power, trauma, and adolescence, and why it felt so different from its superhero peers. They also discuss the film’s cast, including early Michael B. Jordan, and how this movie was a flash in the pan that never got the franchise it could’ve spawned.

Shut Up I Love It Sasha Feiler and Joe Cabello Many years ago, Sasha Feiler and Joe Cabello met in line for an improv show. They were young, dumb, and full of it. What followed were comedy shows so explicit, “genitalia” was practically a term of endearment.Fast forward 5 dogs, 6 cats, and way too many weird inside jokes later, Sasha and Joe are no longer young or dumb—but they’re still brimming with you-know-what. Here, they’ve teamed up to bring you a podcast where they interview a guest who passionately defends something universally hated, misunderstood, forgotten, overlooked, Mandela-effected, canceled—you name it. The key? They LOVE it. From toupees... to B-movies... to aliens, psychedelics, and the occasional surprise character, Sasha and Joe are here to spread love to the world that birthed them (but maybe should’ve used protection).So come and get that love because no one else will give it to you like we do.Also, don’t forget to check out the Patreon Bonus version of the show:https://www.patreon.com/c/ShutUpILoveItP Explicit
