Have you ever had to do your homework on the school bus on Monday morning? That’s what we had to do for a movie. I no small part because we’re bery professional. So we grabbed a nineties movie off the virtual shelf because Kevin Bacon is in it. It’s supposed to star Meryl Streep but we’re there for the Bacon.

What if you were a cop but racist? That’s the bold thought experiment that Hollywood dared to ask with the movie Heart Condition(1990). But, stay with us here, what if he were a likable schlub who learned the error of his ways? So you cast Bob Hoskins as a cop who gets a heart transplant from Denzel Washington who now haunts Hoskins. Also they were both in love with the same prostitute who used to have a heroin problem. Nothing you haven’t seen before.

We’ve got three movies as we often do. What we don’t usually have is a movie that has three titles for a joint review. So without a lot of ado we’re going to talk about The Scoundrel’s Wife[2002](Also The Home Front or The Smuggler’s Wife). You should be able to find it to watch on the Tube. The director had a 4K restoration done and made available because it’s basically unwatchable otherwise.

It’s been a very busy week. People constantly running around, doing things. Having all sorts of consequences. Honestly we’re happy that it’s been as calm as we can hope for as summer winds down. We’ll just be glad to not have to run the air conditioning all the damn time. Maybe have an excuse to wear a hoody outside and take along our concealed manga. But that’s a whole other show. We have Vengeance: A Love Story[2017].

It seems there’s another superhero movie out and we need to watch it. Who’s making this demand of us? No one in particular that we can point to. It’s just a sort of need. We can feel it. They call to us. Like the pirates of a certain ship in a much better movie. So we watched Supergirl[2026].

Let’s hop into the Tardis and take you back to a simpler time. Hold up your sporks and prepare to ship Sherlock with the Onceler. Do you remember when Johnny Depp was basically just Jack Sparrow in every damn movie? Let us remind you with Mortdecai[2015].

It’s movie time for the Popcorn gentlemen. Which normally means a three-fer of a review. We like to shake it up every once in awhile and do two dual reviews. It doesn’t take us any less work but then you get less reviews. Or maybe you get better analysis because we’ve both focused on the two films. Rather than simply reacting to what the other remembers, infallibly, about their individual watch.

Hey guys, remember random monkey things? Like monkey pirate ninjas? Well what if they were carriers of a super infections disease that ate your face and turned you into a puddle of goo within two days? We sort of have that going on with today’s movie, Outbreak(1995).

Open the hatch. Seriously, it’s damp down here at the bottom of the ocean and a bit cold. Plus we just saw bits of the Titan sub go floating by. We don’t want to have to wade through anymore of the compressed people bits than may exist already. The cleverer of you may have sussed out that the oceanic intro signals a water based movie. Which brings us to a Norwiegian film, Kraken[2026].

Welcome back to Manga review racing. Where we track the fastest manga reviewers. As this is the off season they’re going to talk about movies. Turning around we have something about pilots, planes, and a scowling Clint Eastwood. That’s right, a movie you’ve never heard of, Firefox(1982).
