What up bros, this is the All Bros Podcast, I'm Caleb.
And I'm Jonathan.
And we are a couple of aspiring filmmakers that love to watch and critique movies, but
also enjoy a lot of bit of the nerd life.
This week on the podcast, we have a couple figures that we're going to talk about with
Funko Focus.
We don't have anything in 4K Spotlight this week, but we do have a couple news items that
we're going to discuss in our Through the Wall segment.
I'm going to talk about the Marvel Avengers game, some updates on that.
And Rose is going to talk about Halloween kills.
Shocking to everybody, I know.
And then for this week's headliner, we are going to be breaking down We Can Be Heroes,
the Netflix exclusive movie.
Yeah, the true sequel to the Avengers the Sharkboy Mound Girl.
The true sequel.
Well, we'll talk about that.
But yeah, um, so yeah, let's get right into it.
Every day, we're surrounded by media, books, movies, art, music, games, apps, podcasts,
etc, etc, with this constant bombardment, it's easy to miss great media gems in the
chaos.
But fret not.
You've come to the right place, my friend.
I'm Jason, and I love media.
I invite you to check out the Mixed Media Forest podcast, the podcast where I trudge
through the forests of media to find hidden gems for you, the listener.
Every episode of Mixed Media Forest is chock full of fun, reviews, nostalgia, positivity,
news, rants, stories, and recommendations about all things media.
Again, that's the Mixed Media Forest podcast created on Anchor podcasting app and available
everywhere find podcasts can be found.
Give it a listen.
That's what all the cool kids are doing.
Alrighty, starting off with Funko Focus.
So this week we had what was this?
Just a toy fair?
I don't think it was toy fair.
What was it called?
Funko Funko Fair.
Funko Fair.
Yeah.
We had Funko Fair where we had a shahit ton of new figures and new lines get announced
and released.
A few of those.
Oh shit, maybe I can get into them.
Yes, no, maybe so.
Yeah, one second.
I'll get I'll find them.
That'll be real great if my my data was a little faster.
I mean, if only that your router worked, that'd be really nice.
Yeah, right.
Just tell everybody get off.
I'm trying to make a podcast here.
Come on.
Yeah.
Okay, I'm just going to go off the ones that I kind of remember.
Do you want me to pull it up on mine and just show you?
Yes, please.
Where was the ones that you were going to talk about?
You're talking about one, right?
Anyway, the ones I'm remembering off the top of my head, we had some NBA figures, we had
a shit ton of WWE.
We had some Dragon Ball figures that were going to get released, some WandaVision and
other Marvel figures.
Haven't all WandaVision ones been released already?
Yeah, we talked about those ones.
So I probably would have talked about one of those.
But seeing as we discuss those, I think it was like really late last year.
Yeah, I think so.
I think, yeah, I decided to kind of skip over them.
So the figure that I am choosing for my Funko Focus is the WWE Arena.
And this figure is freaking bitchin'.
It is a straight up WWE arena and it comes with Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock.
I didn't get to watch WWE growing up.
I'm so sorry.
But the reason that this one stood out is because it's a full scale arena.
It's true, it is badass.
I want to see how this is boxed because I think this is like, I could see this becoming
like a big collector's item and then like a toy for kids.
Yeah, I wonder if they can come apart.
Like they de-attach.
Is that the word?
De-attach?
I don't think that's a word.
Detach.
Wow.
I know English.
De-attach?
De-attach.
Yeah, the word you're thinking of already exists, Rose.
Okay, detach.
Do you think that, I mean, I think it would be really cool if these figures did detach
so like the kids can make their own.
I know Funko is not supposed to be for kids, but I mean, come on.
I don't know about you, but if I got this, I would want to have Stone Cold and The Rock
wrestle each other.
Yeah, like I would think that they are.
That's why I want to see how it's boxed.
Because I would think that those figures are like on a stand or something.
Yeah, that would make more sense.
And you know what would be freaking super badass about these figures is if they did
come off, but then any other WWE figure that you get can be placed in there.
Dude, hell yes.
Like I'm assuming they would have the little stubs for the feet to hold them or like whatever
those things are.
But just make it like adjustable for every WWE figure.
Because I would totally like universal Kane and the Undertaker in this arena and it would
just be amazing.
Yeah, that would be badass.
Like that would be so badass.
But that's what that's that's the that's the majority of the reason that this stood out
to me.
I don't necessarily care for WWE, but there's just so many possibilities with this.
Yeah.
Like so many.
And I just got really excited over it.
I'm just like that is so cool.
But anyway, Rose, what is your Funko Focus this week?
So my Funko Focus is actually I don't think it's a part of the Funko Fair.
Or is it the Funko Fair?
Shit, what is it again?
Yeah, it was Funko Fair.
Oh, it is Funko Fair.
So mine, I think they they haven't like fully announced these yet, but they're coming out
with new office pops.
And one of them I'm assuming one of this is going to be a chase, but they're releasing
Ryan the intern.
And I'm assuming what's going to be the chase is him when he bleached his hair.
And is like from one of the best episodes in my opinion, when they start the Michael
Scott Paper Company and they pick up Ryan because he's working out in a bowling alley
and he's just such an asshole for the whole episode.
But I love it.
I don't know why this just this just stood out to me.
I know it's it's it's a simple change because the common he has black hair, white shirt
and then gray pants.
And then with the assume I'm assuming chase, I don't think it's going to be an exclusive.
He has his bleach tear gray, gray shirt and then gray pants.
But I don't know, just that that episode just came straight to my mind and just really popped
out to me.
So that is my pick for Funko Focus this week.
Nice.
I haven't seen that episode of the office.
It's a great episode.
Yeah.
So I think that covers everything in Funko Focus.
Like I said, nothing in 4K spotlight and then getting into our through the wall segment.
So I haven't told Rose what my my news item is, and I think we're going to try and keep
it a surprise for each other.
Yeah, makes it more fun.
Yeah, so it's going to be just like a general idea of like mostly the topic.
And obviously there's going to be cases where he comes up with something that I've already
heard or a news item I've already heard or vice versa or whatever.
But if we can keep it a secret, we're going to.
Yep.
Yeah.
So, me getting into mine, so this is regarding Marvel's Avengers and Crystal Dynamics.
So Crystal Dynamics is not sharing any new info on the future of Marvel's Avengers.
They have not released an official release date for Hawkeye or for the Hawkeye DLC.
Him and Kate Bishop should have been out already, but they pushed back.
They pushed back everyone.
We got Kate Bishop in December.
And yeah, so as of right now, we have no future.
Like no idea of what's going to happen with Hawkeye.
No release dates, no nothing.
And that's kind of scary.
Because they haven't released any new other than like bugs that they've tried fixing,
which the article that I read says that they have tried fixing over 11 million bugs.
Holy shit.
Yeah.
And yeah, so they haven't released that.
The only thing that they've really announced is that they're going to be doing a complete
overhaul of gear.
Of collecting gear and like what gear means and everything.
I really didn't care to begin with, so that really is not going to affect me at all.
Yeah, so it's just kind of like, okay, what's the...
You messed this up.
Like who gives a shit about gear?
Yeah.
Gear like doesn't change anything really.
I feel Clint's story is still going to come out, because that's done.
That's already ready to roll.
But I'm afraid after that, they're going to have to pull the plug on this game.
I don't know if they can afford to release anything else after that.
Yeah.
Because Kate Bishop did not stop the game like they'd hoped.
So I think with video games, they typically have a year that they work on stuff like releasing
extra content, DLCs and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
So with Kate Bishop, if they were to...
We don't have very long left in January.
If they release Hawkeye next month, that is two new characters in six months.
Yeah.
And that's garbage, because we were supposed to already have had Kate Bishop for a while.
She was supposed to come out in, I want to say October?
Yeah I think so.
Yeah, she was supposed to come out like right after the game was released.
Yeah, so she was supposed to come out.
Hawkeye was supposed to come out in either November or December.
And then they announced...
Can I just point something out really quickly?
I don't know why this bugs me.
This isn't like towards you, but whenever someone says like, oh, Kate Bishop was supposed
to come out here and then Hawkeye was supposed to come out here, I'm like, okay, wait, they're
both Hawkeye.
So why don't you say Kate Bishop storyline and then Clint Barton storyline?
Shut up.
I'm just saying, I don't know why that bugs me.
When someone says, oh yeah, Kate's story was right here, but then Hawkeye's is going to
come in right here.
I'm like, they're both named Hawkeye.
Get over it, you asshole.
I'm sorry, I just had to point that out.
That's nothing against you.
I've seen so many people do it and I don't know why it's like the littlest thing that
bugs me.
So if they do that in the show...
Oh my gosh.
If they just call Henry Seinfeld Kate and then Jeremy Renner Hawkeye, they don't call
him Clint at all, I'm going to be like, really guys?
They're both Hawkeye.
Dude, whatever.
Shut up.
I'm sorry, I had to point it out.
Oh my gosh.
Anyway, what I was saying is...
Gosh, that's going to freaking bug me now.
I'm sorry, I just had to point it out.
Whatever, I'm just continuing how I was saying it.
So Kate Bishop, then Hawkeye, and then we had...
The next character after that was supposed to be Black Panther.
It was just more of a tease that we got for Black Panther.
I do remember that.
He hasn't been officially announced yet.
Has Spider-Man been officially announced?
Spider-Man was officially announced?
I was going to say, because when you bought...
Actually, no.
What's confusing about that though is when I bought it on PS4, one of the stickers on
the cover says Spider-Man will be playable soon or some shit like that.
Yeah, but that's not an official announcement yet.
Okay, true.
Because we didn't get a date for Spider-Man.
Fair enough.
So really, it's just going to be Kate Bishop, Hawkeye, Black Panther, and Spider-Man.
Don't you mean Hawkeye, Hawkeye, Black Panther, and Spider-Man?
No, shut up!
You can go to hell.
Yeah, but that's how...
But they haven't announced anything else.
Like we said, Hawkeye has no release date.
And then Black Panther, there's a lot of information that we do have because of the datamine that
they were able to dig up from this game.
But yeah, Black Panther hasn't even been officially announced yet.
The only thing that we know about Black Panther is who's voicing him.
And he's being voiced by Christopher Judge.
And Christopher Judge voiced Kratos.
Yeah, can you imagine that voice?
That's what he's bitching.
I'm in.
I'm all in with that.
If it happens.
Yeah.
But there was a datamine for a bunch of characters.
Ant-Man, Wasp, Captain Marvel, Captain Mar-Vell, friggin' War Machine, Winter Soldier.
There was so many characters that were supposed to come out with this game and they haven't
released anyone.
Other than Kate.
And that's bullshit.
It is straight up bullshit.
Because dude, I remember...
Oh, sorry.
No, if you have not listened to our breakdown of the Marvel's Avengers game, go back and
check it out because we ripped this movie or the game to shreds.
And it's also our 150th episode.
So hell yeah.
So go check it out.
But I swear when they announce or when they release that first teaser trailer for Clint
Barton's storyline.
Yeah, sorry.
I'm not calling it Hawkeye's storyline.
I swear that they announced that Clint will be available day one, right when the game
comes out.
He was supposed to.
And then they backtracked that and said, actually, Kate's going to be available shortly after
the release.
Okay.
I just want to make sure that that's how I remembered it.
Yeah, and then they put or then they said that Hawkeye was going to get released in
like November, December.
And then he got pushed back to who knows when.
You know, maybe we should start calling them Hawkeye one and Hawkeye two.
Like thing one and thing two.
I think you should freaking get over it.
Okay, how about Hawkeye A, Hawkeye B?
No.
I'm not even I'm not even going to play with that idea.
It's Kate Bishop and Hawkeye and you can kiss my ass.
Oh, shit.
Anyway get to your Halloween kills news before I beat you.
All right.
Have you?
Okay.
So a few days ago, Empire magazine, I was Empire magazine released.
It was two images, technically, but it was technically just one.
Caleb, have you seen them at all?
No.
Okay.
I'm about to show you right now.
So they showcased Michael Myers after he exits Laurie's house when it's on fire.
Oh, shit.
And oh, my gosh, he looks badass.
That shot is I just really want to know how he got out.
I mean, like they always say, you can't kill the boogeyman.
But it's I love this picture so much.
So it's Michael standing at the front of Laurie's house about looks like he's just about to
walk down the stairs.
But you see the door open behind him.
Flames going everywhere.
He's holding actually Caleb, do you know what he's holding right there?
And it looks like a pickaxe.
Okay.
So, okay.
So let's just let's just say he's holding a pickaxe.
But yeah, so you can't really it doesn't really showcase here the burned mask.
But I don't know, just this shot with the char.
Would you say sparks a fire coming down?
I don't know what to call them.
I guess you could say sparks.
Yeah.
Okay.
Like the sparks of fire just falling down in front of him.
I love this picture so much.
And it just gets me more hyped for this movie.
We'll post this picture on our Instagram because you guys have to see this.
It's an awesome picture.
I freaking love it to death.
Because Michael looks freaking badass.
But you know, he's Michael Myers.
So of course he does.
Yeah, he looks freaking killer.
And you said you're going to post the picture?
Yes.
Sweet.
Yeah.
It's the beauty.
So that is my bit of news.
And I just love it so much.
I feel you had a lot more to talk about.
I don't know what else to talk about this besides it's just such a great picture.
Yeah, it's tough with with images.
That's true.
Actually, I want to show one more thing from Halloween Hills because they really
released it's it's it's basically the same thing.
They released a behind the scenes shot of James Duke Courtney as Michael Myers.
And it's like how his mask like you get like a really good look at how burned the mask
is.
Honestly, it's like freaking terrifying how bad it's burned.
Like I don't know, like how how burned do you think is too burned for Michael Myers
masks mask?
I think anything over halfway.
OK, that's fair.
Like, I think the image that we talked about the last Halloween kills image we talked about,
I think that was a perfect level of burnt where it was more like I wouldn't even say
it's like more like a third of his face.
OK, so this behind the scenes picture.
Oh, my gosh.
Of course, someone had to work.
OK, we'll talk about that in a minute.
OK, anyway, so this is a behind the scenes shot.
We'll post this on our social media as well.
But do you see how burned it looks, Caleb?
Yeah, it looks a bit toasty.
OK, do you think that's too burned?
I don't know how much they're going to show it in the movie.
I mean, I'm assuming quite a bit.
I don't know.
Do you think that's too much?
I don't think so.
I think that's like because that is like straight up split down the middle.
It looks like.
Well, he's also kind of standing at an angle.
So I think it makes it seem like more because it like the burnt portion is more towards
us.
That's true.
That's a good point.
But awesome behind the scenes shot.
Yeah, that looks freaking wild.
And do you see what the person added in the background?
Is that Bernie with the mittens?
Yes, it is.
I didn't even notice that.
But yeah, of course, someone had to add that.
But good help.
What a time to be alive.
I know, right?
Bernie Sanders is the meme god right now.
That's what he is.
Straight up.
All right.
Well, I think that covers everything in through the wall, right?
Or yeah, yeah, I think that's it.
But I will for sure have both of those pictures posted on our social media so you guys can
go check them out and let us know what you guys think.
Hell yeah.
All right.
Well, I think we can move on to this week's headline.
Time for the main event.
Let's play a game.
All right.
We don't have any answers to a question of the week because we did not post a question
of the week this week.
Because this movie is really difficult to make one up for.
I got a good question.
What is a true sequel to The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl?
Answer not this movie.
There you go.
Petty man.
There's your question for the week.
So yeah, so this week we are breaking down We Can Be Heroes.
This is a Robert Rodriguez movie exclusive to Netflix.
So if you've not seen it, just just just stick with us.
We're going to save you guys.
Unless you have kids.
I don't know.
Do you think I don't know if kids I don't know.
I've heard kids like this movie.
I can see why.
Yeah.
I mean, I don't know.
Maybe.
Yeah, we'll talk about it.
Yeah.
But yeah, if you've not seen this movie and you don't have kids, just chill out with us
for a little bit.
We'll help you.
We'll tell you all the best parts about this movie.
Yeah.
So that being said, if you are new to our breakdown system, we have split movies into
eight different categories that we individually grade to come to a final All Bros letter grade.
The eight categories that we grade are story writing, acting, character development, effects,
music, costumes, and then we give it our own personal score.
And then that all that math adds up or gives us our average and then our average gets converted
into a letter grade.
So we have already graded this movie.
So we're just going to go through the scores and kind of justify these scores to you guys.
Yep.
So that being said, we're going to start off with story.
If you haven't and spoiler alert ahead, if you want to watch this movie, I applaud you.
Go ahead.
If you don't want to watch this movie, we completely understand.
Don't make this the reason you sign up for Netflix.
That's all I'm going to say.
I mean, I'd be.
Yeah.
I mean, everyone has Netflix by now.
I feel.
Yeah.
I think it's weird when someone doesn't have it.
Yeah.
Right.
Like with Disney Plus or like HBO Mac or even Hulu, if someone says, oh, I don't have that,
I'm like, oh, okay.
You know, I would recommend having them.
They're, you know, they're nice streaming services.
But yeah, when every someone says they don't have Netflix, I'm like, are you okay?
I thought that's the streaming.
If everyone has at least one streaming service, that's usually the one that everybody has
because that's like the OG.
Yeah.
Like, I understand more if they're like, oh, I don't have Netflix right now.
But they had it in the past.
Yeah.
But it's just like, oh, I don't have a Netflix.
I always kind of follow that up with the at all.
Yeah.
Like never.
What are you?
Like you don't bum it off someone you don't you don't like, or you didn't like cancel
your subscription.
It's amazing.
They're like, no, never had Netflix.
The only thing that sucks about Netflix is the whole two screens or three screen shit.
No other streaming service has that.
That is true.
It's bullshit.
I think it's so dumb.
Yeah.
But whatever.
All right, story.
Get ready for reading with Rose.
Yep.
So Rose is about to spoil the entire movie for you guys.
And we would we would make a bigger deal about this if this movie were better.
Yeah.
Anyway, anyway.
All right.
Here we go.
Missy Marino is at home with her dad, Marcus Marino, when they receive word that aliens
are invading.
Missy is taken to Heroic's headquarters and placed in a vault with other children of the
Heroics, a team of superheroes.
Marcus, who retired from the Heroics, is reinstated as a member by Miss Granada, leader of the
program.
Missy meets the other children, Wheels, who possesses super intelligence, Noodles, who
can stretch his body, Ojo.
That's his name, right?
Isn't it Ojo?
I think that's the little girl.
OK.
So Ojo, who is, oh yeah, yeah, who is mute and only communicates through art.
Acapella, who moves objects by singing.
Slow Mo, who is always in slow motion.
Facemaker, who can make any face.
Rewind and fast forward.
Twins that can alter time.
Wild Card, who has immense power but no control over it.
And Guppy, who has shark strength and can shape water into anything.
The kids watch the battle between the aliens and Heroics on television, which ends with
the Heroics being captured.
Missy realizes that Ojo's drawings tell the future.
When a drawing shows aliens breaking into the vault, the kids hatch a plan to escape.
Facemaker tricks the guards into coming into the vault, where Guppy subdues them, but not
before one of the guards triggers an emergency lockdown.
Rewind sends them back in time, Wheels stops the guard from pushing the button, and Noodles
steals their security badges.
Ojo's Granada spots Missy in the hallway and seals the doors, but Acapella makes a staircase
to the roof, allowing them to escape.
Noodles secures a vehicle, and the kids evade capture.
The kids land at the home of Missy's grandmother, who used to train the Heroics.
She helps the kids master their powers, and work as a team.
The aliens arrive, and Grandma sends the kids through a tunnel that leads to an empty field
before she is captured.
The kids spot an empty alien craft and use it to reach their mothership.
They locate a room with a purple pyramid, and see the President and Miss Granada speaking
with each other.
The two reveal that they are alien spies, sent to prepare Earth for a takeover.
The kids are placed in a cell, Guppy makes a replica of the cell key from the children's
tears and opens the door.
A fight between the kids and the aliens ensues, and Wild Card is caught and taken for questioning,
while the other kids make their way to the pyramid.
Wheels hacks into the motherboard, but Ojo reveals that she can speak, and is supreme
commander of the aliens.
Missy manages to communicate with Wild Card in the control room, Facemaker manages to
switch places with them.
Granada goes after Wild Card, but not before the protective shield around the motherboard
is deactivated.
With the kids holding off the aliens, Wheels and Noodles remove the motherboard, and swap
it with a new one to deactivate the aliens rocket, foiling their takeover.
To the kids surprise, their parents emerge from the rocket.
Ojo reveals that she and Miss Granada faked the takeover in order to train the kids to
be the new heroics.
The kids reunite with their parents, and soon are ready to save the world.
I just want to point out, in that plot, they do not mention, except for Pedro Pascals character,
they do not mention any of the heroics, not even Sharkboy and Lava Girl.
The shit.
Yeah.
This...
I think this movie...
This movie sounds better on paper.
Oh absolutely.
Give me the idea, okay let's take, you know, let's make a team that includes Sharkboy and
Lava Girl and we'll come up with some other heroes, but we'll mainly focus it on their
kids, and them dealing with their powers, and working together.
I'm like, okay this kind of, you know, it feels like Spy Kids mixed with a little bit
of what I loved in Sharkboy and Lava Girl, you know, this sounds like a good time.
Apparently not when it's put to film.
Yeah.
Like it's just so...
Kitty.
Like...
Okay, so Brielle caught like that last maybe half of this movie.
And her thoughts were like, I'm getting major Spy Kids vibes from this.
And it's true, Robert Rodriguez has a very like signature style to his movies.
He does, very much so.
But it's just the storytelling too.
Like I feel like Spy Kids, like he kind of went down.
Yeah honestly-
Like Spy Kids isn't a good story, or isn't like an amazing story, but it's still good.
Yeah, a couple years ago I watched all three again.
I still enjoy them, they're not the greatest movies ever, but they're still a blast from
start to finish.
Especially the second one, I forgot how much I loved the second one as a kid.
Yeah.
But this one just felt really, really, really short for me.
Even for 90 minutes, which is kind of long for a- actually it was 97 minutes, which is
actually kind of long for a kids movie.
Dude, it felt so long.
It felt like two freaking hours.
Dude I was- so I had to pause it to go to the bathroom, and when I paused it and saw
I was only halfway through, I got sad.
Oh shit.
I'm just like, no!
Oh man.
It feels long in the worst ways possible.
It's- yeah, it's not good.
It's just- the story just doesn't make any sense.
And you know what, for anyone that had any interest in checking this movie out just because
they spotlighted that Sharkboy and Lava Girl were going to be in it, they are literally,
probably, altogether a minute, if that?
Would you say about that?
About that?
Yeah.
It might be even less than that.
You hardly see Sharkboy and Lava Girl, and Sharkboy doesn't even freaking talk, which
no surprise there because Taylor Lautner didn't come back to play him, so I'm sure they didn't
want him to talk and people would be like, well that's not Taylor Lautner.
There's a reason why he wore a helmet.
Dude, no one would have given a shit!
The true fans would have.
No, we wouldn't have!
What is her name?
Taylor Dooley can come back for Lava Girl, Taylor Lautner can come back for Sharkboy.
I wouldn't have cared even a little bit that it wasn't Taylor Lautner.
Okay, but this is just remembering- okay, speaking of Spy Kids really quickly, did you
ever watch the fourth one?
Uh, no.
I think it's called All the Time in the World.
I heard it was awful.
I refused to watch it.
But even Carmen and Junie, the original actors, came back for that.
And they're literally in it for as long as Sharkboy and Lava Girl are in this movie.
Actually, I think they're even in it more.
But it's really sad.
But I don't know.
I know it wouldn't have made a difference, but it just kind of would have been cool to
actually get both original actors that played Sharkboy and Lava Girl to come back for this
movie.
Yeah.
I agree with that.
But I mean, I'm sure when- I mean, I know there's other reasons for Taylor Lautner not
coming back, but I just can imagine when they said like, oh yeah, you're in the beginning
for 30 seconds and then the end for 30 seconds, he's just like, well, that's just bullshit.
Why would I come back for that?
This- like we said, this story sounds really good on paper.
It's like parent- like the- I mean, it's weird.
It's weird because it's like these kids, it's time for the takeover and the takeover is
the kids taking over the position of the parents.
And that has like some- that's a good base to build off of.
And I think they could have done that.
I think I would have preferred more seeing the kids train with the parents.
Ooh, that would have been really cool actually.
Yeah, try to like master their abilities, try to learn those a little bit.
And I- maybe even as like a whole like group and then having the kids just be like, oh,
like just keep failing over and over again and then having the whole situation where
it's like, oh, like, oh, they just needed the proper motivation.
Like then it's like the invasion stuff happens.
And so like that's maybe the motivation behind them working together and just- it was just-
I especially-
It just fell apart.
Yeah.
And going off of what you said with like seeing the parents train the kids, I would have especially
like to see that with Noodles and his mom because for- I don't know, how old would you
say Noodles was?
Like 10?
10, 11.
Okay.
He was pretty- he had his stretchability pretty decently under control.
He was carrying the full weight of everything.
Yeah.
So I want to know how the hell a 10 year old already has his elasticity to a T like that.
That's got to take years and years of practice.
Yeah.
I think it would have been better for a training montage with the parents and then maybe it's
just like the kids kind of give up on themselves.
And then it's like, oh, alien invasion and then go into the full spy kid shit.
Yeah.
Also, why does it always have to be an alien invasion?
Yeah.
No shit.
Can we change it up?
Even the Avengers is guilty of that with the Chitauri.
Yeah.
But it's like you can do like other dimensional people.
That would have been bitchin'.
I would have loved that.
That probably would have raised the score up for me a little bit if they did that.
Yeah.
I think one way or one aspect that this movie failed in feeling like a sequel, I feel like
this was just a movie that happened to have Sharkboy and Lava Girl in it.
I think, well, because on the Wikipedia website, on the end, what does it say?
It is a standalone sequel to the Avengers of Sharkboy and Lava Girl.
But they still say it's a sequel.
Yeah.
But it still fails in that right because Sharkboy and Lava Girl lived in a dreamland.
Yeah.
That's true.
Oh my gosh.
That just ruined the movie even more for me.
I completely forgot about that.
Yeah.
Max dreamed up.
Can we also talk about how Max was not even in this movie?
I don't know.
I would have loved to see Max.
I thought Miracle Man was Max.
That's what I thought too.
And they don't even put in Linus.
How can you forget Linus?
Come on.
Oh my gosh.
You mean Minus?
Yeah, Minus.
So dumb.
But...
No, let's throw in Mr. Electric for good measure too.
I think Robert Rodriguez just missed the mark on this one.
It's...
He did.
Like, yes, it had some very Spy Kids vibes.
Which I did appreciate a little bit.
But the story was just...
It wasn't there.
Unfortunately, no.
And it just really sucks because I know I'm a grown ass adult now.
But even if I go back to watching all three Spy Kids movies, because I don't count the
fourth, I'm sorry.
It's a trilogy to me.
And The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lava Girl.
I still enjoy those movies.
Yes, they are not the greatest.
But even as an adult, I have a blast with those four films.
Yeah.
I would have much preferred to see a Sharkboy and Lava Girl movie.
Tell you the truth, after I finished watching this movie, I'm just like, okay, let's watch
Sharkboy and Lava Girl again.
Get this movie out of my mouth.
Yeah.
It's rough.
It is very rough to watch.
It's very cringey.
It is so extremely cringey.
And we'll get into that in the acting portion.
Oh, yes, we will.
Yeah, this movie.
So we ended up scoring the story forty seven point five.
This is not the lowest.
Yeah, this is not the lowest that we've given us the story.
It's almost a fifty, but it's it's not good.
It's just that there was so much potential that it didn't follow up on.
And I could have forgiven a lot of the cheesy acting.
I could have given up a lot of the or given some points for a lot of the other shit that
was done wrong.
It's just because like in Spy Kids, like the story was there.
It's just yes, it was executed in a very cheesy manner, but it was still like a decent story.
I feel this is in a spy kids work so well.
Yeah, this movie just.
So yeah, forty seven and a half.
Moving on to writing, writing actually scored lower than the story that get got forty six
and a half.
It's all those cheesy lines, man.
All those cheesy ass lines.
Yeah, a lot of the jokes in this didn't land.
Yeah.
And a lot of like there's a lot of bullshit in this movie, too.
Like they're like plot conveniences.
Oh, for real, though, like I'm trying to think of like what characters said the most cringe
worthy stuff.
I think we talked about this.
It was the kid that could shift his face.
Oh, my hell, I hated him.
Yeah, I did, too.
It takes a lot for me to hate a kid actor and he did it.
He did it.
Yeah, but we'll save that for acting.
Yeah.
But I mean, we can kind of talk about his character, OK, because obviously it was like
the writing.
So what was his his superhero name face?
Face something.
Face maker.
It wasn't a face maker.
So dumb.
Stupid.
Yeah.
Dude, these kids had to come up with their own names, right?
Like there's no way the parents came up with these because if they did, I'm going to smack
the shit out of them.
Be like, you all suck at superhero names.
Dude, one thing that they didn't freaking explain like and this is why I think the training
montage with the parents would have served us really well.
I didn't know who the hell belonged to who.
Yes.
Thank you.
Yeah.
When they were like, honestly, OK, at the part at the end, when they're being reunited,
I actually had to pause and go back and be like, OK, that kid goes to them.
That kid goes to them.
Oh, those two go to them.
I'm like, you never mentioned at all which parents belong to which kid.
Yeah.
They don't establish that in the slightest.
Literally the only one or two that you know is Pedro Pascal's character's daughter.
And then, of course, Guppy, who is the daughter of Sharkboy and Lava Girl.
Yeah.
That's it.
Like, OK, wheels for one.
I know that they kind of have like, oh, that's my dad.
I'm like, oh, dad.
And you're just they don't make a big deal.
Like they don't put a face to like they don't put child to parent.
It's just you hear them cheering them on when there's like multiple heroes on screen.
Like OK, with wheels was who was his dad again?
Miracle Man.
See.
So OK, with Miracle Man, I thought his son was the one that wasn't able to control his
powers.
Yep.
I did, too.
Robert Rodriguez, what the shit?
If you think we can't get this shit, I don't think kids are going to be able to either.
Yeah, it's just what?
Like I said, this is where the training montage would have served us really well.
It would have put a face to the child and then.
It would have made some other moments mean a bit more like.
The speedy dude who wasn't that fast at all.
No, like you see like this yellow streak kind of go through this crowd and then the news
anchors like, did you guys like, did you guys see that?
And I'm like, yeah, I did.
Take sorry, buddy.
He ain't no flash or Quicksilver.
Hell is he slower than Quicksilver?
He's not even even he's not even close to being that fast.
Did he probably couldn't even keep up with Dash and he's a kid.
Probably not.
Like yeah, it was ridiculous.
So his kid was the one that was in slow motion, which that was what I don't know.
I found that a little funny.
OK, like like the fact that Noodles had to keep saving him or like bring him into the
scenario that they were in because they had already moved on to the next plot point.
Yeah, but why?
Did they explain why he was in slow motion?
I know because they're just like, oh, his dad's fast.
So to be funny, let's make him super slow because that makes sense.
Yeah, that's weird.
Like I thought the way that I remember them saying it was it was like some sort of time
displacement thing.
Oh, I didn't like he can move fast, but he has this time displacement that makes him
slow.
And I'm like, that doesn't what that makes the no just no.
Yeah.
OK.
So the all the parents are locked in this room, but they can't they have like video
access to what their kids are doing.
And the fast persons like the fast dad is watching the slow motion kid.
And then the two kids that can manipulate time work together are able to focus their
energy to make him faster and then his dad kind of like, look how fast he is.
And like it looks like he's having a really heartfelt moment that just went completely
flat and like, I don't even remember whose kid was yours.
Yeah.
Like were you disappointed that your kid was slow?
If that's the case, your shitty father.
Yeah, it's just like, OK, why is it such a big deal that he's moving fast to you to like
to him?
I mean, like I said, if they would have failed with their parents, that would have struck
a much stronger note.
Damn straight.
So I'm glad that this movie friggin score or this writing, the writing for this movie
got a forty six and a half.
It really quickly wasn't OK.
So the kid that can couldn't control his powers, wasn't his dad the one that had the jet pack
at the beginning?
Yeah.
I didn't even know that he was one of the heroics.
I thought he was just like a random guy that had a jet pack.
I did too.
I'm just like, you didn't display any form of super superpower.
So excuse me for not associating you with the heroics.
OK straight up.
This is what I thought.
I thought the wild card.
I thought his dad was Miracle Man.
And I thought the the straw or the kid in the wheelchair wheels.
I thought his dad was the the frickin jet pack dude.
Honestly that would have made so much more sense.
Yeah.
Right.
And what was up with the kid?
Like I don't understand why wheels was in a wheelchair.
Wasn't it?
His like it's his body.
I forget his like body was like so powerful and full of strength that like his legs couldn't
support him.
So that's why he had to be in a wheelchair or some shit like that.
How does that make sense?
Dude you got me.
You've got me.
Yeah the writing for this movie was bullshit.
It really was.
And can we talk a moment about acapella?
I hated her.
Yeah I hated her too.
So she she like her power is singing.
Like she can make shit happen when she sings.
I don't understand how.
But there was a lot of there was a lot of times where I'm like that's not how sound
works.
Okay.
Okay when they were like announcing like all the kids and their superpowers I got flashbacks
to have you seen sky high?
Yes.
Okay.
Remember that when they do that like test with the car or whatever to like see what
their superpower is and then if they don't pass they have to go into like this certain
uh isn't it like the sidekick class or some shit like that?
Yep.
Yeah.
Their powers were better than the shit that the kids got in this movie.
No joke.
Like was it Zeke that can glow?
I think that's way cooler than a kid that can freaking sing the highest notes you've
ever heard.
Yeah but apparently she can make shit float if she sings really low.
That makes no sense.
Like what?
And then she I don't like I'm like okay so if she sings really high does she make things
like heavy?
Nope.
Like who knows what the how the hell her powers work.
Yeah for real.
I don't know if you knew this.
Freaking Facemaker.
Oh my god let's.
He's a freaking living emoji.
Wasn't there like an offensive joke with him I thought?
There was a borderline joke so okay so noodles.
So noodles is so Facemaker is like Hispanic looking but he's like he's white.
Yeah.
Noodles is the guy or the kid that can stretch and noodles can noodles is a black kid and
Facemaker copied noodles face and it seemed like it was noodles face with a lighter tone
of skin.
Yeah I don't know how that's gonna age.
Not well.
Yeah.
I can tell you that.
Dude when I saw that I'm like okay well yeah if I was on the editing table which Robert
Rodriguez was he was the editor of this movie as well.
I would have I mean I wouldn't have even filmed that scene in general but I would not have
added that effect.
Yeah and his power was so freaking like stupid.
He was just making faces at people I'm like okay so you got a kid that can make faces
it wasn't like not even like all of his faces not even all of them were like CGI.
It just seemed like he was making faces and they kind of like accentuated some shit.
The one time that I felt like oh he's really showcasing his abilities is when he was like
doing the sad face and his eyes were really big and I still I cringed at that because
I'm like this is a freaking joke but at least that like made his his face thing make sense
a little bit.
Yeah that's true.
I'm like okay so that's his ability because like every other time he was just seriously
just making faces at people.
I'm like what?
Yeah.
So it's just dumb.
Just make him a shape shifter.
It's not that hard.
It's not.
It's probably cheaper in the effects apartment anyway.
Yeah like that's all you have to do just make him a shape shifter you dumb shits.
Oh really quickly I guess Netflix announced they're doing a sequel to this movie did you
know that?
Are you shitting me?
Why?
I have no idea well dude did you see how well it was viewed?
What?
Yeah dude it was so uh upon its release the film was the most watched title in its opening
weekend then finished third the following weekend before returning to first in its third
weekend it finished second behind new Netflix release Outside the Wire in its fourth weekend
and it was revealed that the film has been seen by 53 million of households during the
first four weeks.
What?
How have more people seen how have more people seen this movie than the prom?
The like the prom okay I'm sorry I know I talk a lot about this movie but the prom was like
in the top 10 Netflix movies its first week and then never again and it pisses me off
but yet this movie I see it every single gosh damn week in the top 10.
It's bullshit.
Did we are we watching the same movie?
I don't know apparent I mean did we miss the actual sequel to Sharkboy and Lavagirl apparent
I guess we watched the wrong movie bro.
Yeah dude this oh my gosh the writing was awful.
It was absolutely awful and it absolutely deserves the 46.5.
Yes it does.
Oh we got a.5.
I don't know okay I love it.
Alright moving on over to acting just look up the cast list there are so many freaking
kids in this.
Every to the child that played Facemaker you're the bottom of the list for me.
Same yeah honestly same.
And dude there was a lot of like decent like names in this like Priyanka Chopra was in
this.
Who did we?
Freaking Pedro Pascal.
Like I told you I think I gave it a 50 right?
Oh what did you give it?
Yes I gave it a little higher than you and I gave it a little higher for Lavagirl.
That's honestly the only reason why it's not in the 40s it is at a straight 50 because
Taylor Dooley came back to play Lavagirl and it's kind of also at a 50 just because
you can never go wrong with Pedro Pascal and even though he was barely in this movie he
was one of the only characters that I actually liked.
Yeah anytime he was on and like acting good I'm like okay just dial back.
Like you don't need to act that hard.
Yeah.
Like honestly everyone was freaking phoning it in.
You would think that within Wonder Woman 1984 you'd have to say okay Pedro let's dial it
back here a bit with the whole life can be great or like life is great but it can be
better.
There's just some of the parts that he acts in the way he acts in that movie but no it's
this movie that like okay buddy let's bring it back here a little bit just a little bit.
Yeah it's just oh my gosh.
I don't even know what to say.
So the main girl was Pedro Pascal's daughter or his character's daughter and her acting
was not good at all.
I mean it was definitely not the worst.
I liked her acting better than the girl that played Guppy, Sharkboy and Lavagirl's daughter.
I don't care what anyone says.
I'm sorry I did not find her character cute.
I found her super annoying.
Yep.
Why couldn't they go find like another what's her face from Ant-Man?
For real though or why couldn't we just bring her into this movie?
But yeah I'm sure she's too old.
Oh yeah that's true.
But yeah it's just like her acting was way better.
I would have loved to see her as Sharkboy and Lavagirl's daughter.
Although I am still on the fence about Sharkboy and Lavagirl being married.
I still don't know how I feel about that.
They weren't brother and sister you creep.
I got a brother and sister relationship from that movie okay?
No you're wrong.
And I stand by that.
Anyway.
Okay let's think of some of the other.
Okay the kid that actually played Noodles I did not hate him.
I actually kind of yeah he was not bad.
Even though he was freaking like he should have been the freaking leader like they were
relying on him super heavily.
Like every second it was just like Noodles can you do this?
Noodles do this.
And the only reason that he didn't get them out of the headquarters was because they needed
a capella to do something.
Yeah I mean you can't I mean I feel super elasticity is one of the most helpful and
coolest super powers you could ever have.
I'll give you that.
But okay what about uh shit what was it fast forward and rewind the twins?
They were average.
Yeah they weren't bad.
I mean they weren't great they weren't awful.
I actually liked them.
I think Wildcard needed some major help.
Oh god goodness gracious he needed some more acting classes.
Yes he did.
When he's just like oh yeah the main girl helped I forget the the main girl's name.
She helped me focus my attention on all of my super powers and now I'm just amazing at
all this shit and I'm just like dude you're really phoning this in this sounds really
corny and I know you're a kid but like I've heard way better kid actors than you and this
is just really really bad.
Yeah dude okay so.
The scene that I hated the absolute most was when the kids were locked in the room and
they were trying to all cry to give the tears to Guppy.
Oh god that was so stupid.
She was so the the leader or I forget what her name is but she was freaking winking at
everyone being like wink wink and like the only person that wasn't crying was I thought
they were what they were trying to do I thought what the winking was all about was that they
were trying to make Guppy cry.
Yeah that's what I thought too.
Yeah but no it was like everyone was crying I'm like everyone was in on it.
Yeah.
Like how the hell does that make sense?
Beats me man.
Beats me.
Okay how'd you feel about Rewa- no uh Slow Mo.
The Slow Mo Kid.
I know he didn't say much but I don't know everything that kid did I actually thought
was really funny.
Just watching that kid run in slow motion was freaking hilarious.
There were times that you could tell that he was doing it himself.
Yeah.
And there you could like you could obviously tell like when he was with everyone else you
could tell that he was like trying to like act like he was walking in slow mo and then
there were the other times where he was like by himself that you could tell that it was
actual slow mo like they caught him running normal and then just slowed it down and then
there are other times where he's acting like it and the times that he was acting like it
were garbage.
I mean I'll give him a little props he tried his best but I don't know maybe just a little
bit more effort buddy just a little more.
Yeah so honestly it was him and Lava Girl that bumped it up for me.
No it was Lava Girl and Pedro Pascal that's it.
Yeah other than that acting not good.
Nope not one bit.
So 52.5 is what acting got.
Yeah.
Next up we got Character Development and that scored a 62.5.
This is actually one of the higher categories that we rated.
It is because I feel so I think you would agree that the character character development
is mostly Pedro Pascal's daughter.
Yes okay.
And you know the movie starts out with her kind of not like realizing what her superpower
is.
She feels like she doesn't belong with these kids because she doesn't.
She doesn't have a superpower.
Oh yeah she doesn't.
But throughout the movie she realizes that you know actually what her purpose in life
is kind of what her dad is.
She's a really good leader.
She's good at getting people to work together.
I don't know I actually enjoyed to some extent watching her grow as a character into a good
leader somewhat of a good leader for these let's call them heroics 2.0.
I don't know what the hell to call them.
Or the heroics junior.
Yeah.
There we go.
Well they eventually become the heroics.
Yeah.
Which what the hell the adults were just forced to retire.
Yeah apparently.
That's bullshit.
I'm like you could still get some decent time out of Sharkboy and Lava Girl.
Yeah.
I mean come on Taylor Dooley actually came back to play Lava Girl.
What the hell.
Yeah wasted.
So wasted.
But yeah it was it was really cool to kind of see her coming to her own.
It wasn't a great arc by any means and obviously it shows that with the sixty two and a half.
Yeah.
But for the kind of reason that score is much higher than everything else was because it
kind of was a highlight.
Yeah it actually was for for the movie that it's in it is a decent enough arc for a character.
Yeah and I mean you can't fault it for that.
No it's it's solid.
I actually really enjoyed everything that they they did with the character of whatever her
face is.
Like I told you I'm just calling her Pesky or Pascal's daughter even though I know that's
not his real life daughter.
Yeah.
So a sixty two and a half I think is pretty fair with the arc that they went.
There was a lot of leaps that they made.
Yes.
Especially when they're at the grandma's house.
Yeah so you kind of got a doctor talking and she's just like OK yeah I'm ready to be a
leader now.
OK.
Yeah.
So.
It's OK.
Yeah exactly.
Next up we got effects.
So the effects scored a 54.
Trying to remember like what made me give it my score.
I mean everything.
Yeah.
The elasticity on noodles is pretty bad.
It could have been worse.
It's OK.
True.
I I gave it so low because of the shitty green screen.
Oh yeah that looks bad.
OK.
OK sorry going back to noodles I feel with him like stretching his hands that didn't look
too bad.
It was when he had to stretch his neck that I'm just like no that looks like absolute
shit.
Yeah you could tell that the way that they did that effect was he walked to an area and
just froze there like he was just kind of like he stuck in a pose and froze there and
then they did the whole like they kind of messed with the effect of his neck.
Yeah.
And then you could tell that like anytime his neck it was just like stationary like
same position and then it like you could tell like exactly how they did the effect.
The only prop that are the only yeah the only positive I'll give and it's really not even
a positive because it doesn't really look that good but it was cool seeing Lava Girl
fly again or like she used her lava powers again.
Yeah that that's all I got.
But there was so OK getting into the how the frickin parents were flying Miracle Man he
his flying looked like garbage.
It looked straight up green screen.
And then one of the effects was all of the non flying heroes were being carried by drones
and that looked.
Oh yeah that looked awful.
That looked like garbage.
Yeah it was it didn't look good in the slightest.
No it did not.
And then you get the like the super cheesy looking like Spy Kids Sharkboy and Lava Girl
level effects where it's just obvious green screen.
And it yeah it's a 54 is is fair.
Yeah.
You're not getting frickin Avengers endgame level CGI in this at all.
I feel like anyone could do this in their home.
Oh yeah easily.
So like we said 54.
I'm trying to think if there's anything else that oh frickin face maker.
He brought it down for me.
Face yeah.
That was so dumb.
So awful.
All right next up we got costumes which we were unanimous on this and came to a six.
I think I was I think actually I was pretty high on this wasn't I.
No we were the same.
Oh we were.
Oh my bad.
Yeah pretty sure.
Let me just double check.
Yeah we were both the same on costumes and music.
Oh OK.
I feel like the only thing cool or costume wise was the heroics costumes and it was mostly
music.
Oh we're in music.
Oh I'm sorry.
Music I'm sorry.
I apologize.
My music wasn't super memorable.
No it was very bland.
I would have.
OK just speaking of music I didn't appreciate the joke that I forget who says it but they
say oh shark boy don't you want to sing one of your classic jingles or some miracle man.
Yeah that was actually pretty funny.
That was like one of the only jokes that actually got a little chuckle out of me.
Yeah I had a good laugh at that.
The rest of the time the music that stood out that didn't make the least bit of sense
was freaking acapella and her mom singing at the same time when Pedro Pascale's daughter
was doing her like teaching or leading by example moment.
Oh yeah oh my gosh.
I'm like this feels very out of place.
For real though.
I forgot about that.
Yeah that was rough.
And also like freaking acapella like her singing throughout the movie she was so freaking annoying.
She's on I put her slightly above face maker in the annoyance level.
Oh dude the only music that's really sticking out to me is like at the beginning when miracle
it's miracle man right.
So like when he like starts falling back down to earth and like the music gets just like
really intense that's literally the only thing I remember and that was actually kind of like
somewhat of a good score right there.
But that's literally all I'm remembering.
Yeah it was a bit above a five so six is perfect.
Yes absolutely agree.
All right next up we got costumes which we also agreed on and it scored an eight.
So this is the highest score for this movie.
And on this is like honestly the only good thing about this movie because for the most
part all the costumes for the heroics were actually pretty good.
And of course one of the biggest reasons why it's an eight was shark boy and lava girls
costumes were on point.
Yeah they're yeah the shark boy costume looked killer.
Yeah.
The thing that that killed it for me was the freaking helmet.
Yeah I mean but since Taylor Watner wouldn't come back they kind of had to add that to
it.
Yeah honestly what I would have done instead because like the actor that they got to play
shark boy looks pretty similar to Taylor Watner.
I feel like what they could have done is just done like a one of those like eye mask like
the Incredibles have.
Like do you like.
I was thinking the shark boy sunglasses.
That would have worked too.
I feel either of those would have worked.
Yeah it's just that the helmet.
Yeah that yeah that just kind of ruined shark boy.
Should we even be calling them shark boy and lava girl anymore isn't it shark man and lava
woman now or lava lady.
It should be it honestly should be shark man and lava lady.
Dude like I'd be if I was freaking shark boy I'd be pissed.
I'm not a boy anymore do I have a high voice anymore.
No my balls drops thank you very much.
Yeah so I yeah I would have personally gone a sunglasses route for shark boy.
I like that and then like I said the actors thing but that's just me.
Yeah the actor for shark boy actually has like it's very similar to Taylor Watner like
he has the black hair and everything.
Like they could have fully gone that route.
I don't want to actually look up.
Or just gotten a dude that's a little skinnier.
Damn are you calling the guy fat.
Do what?
Damn are you calling the guy fat.
No it's not.
He's not.
I'm not saying fat he's just bulky.
Yeah like Taylor Watner has a very sleek face and whoever they got has a very built face.
Like his face is a little wider.
His jaw is very prominent.
Yeah but no honestly I could yeah I could easily have seen him without a helmet.
Yeah that would have been fine.
Yeah right like it's just like okay shark boy just went through puberty really hard.
Yeah like I mean I've seen honestly uh worst recastings.
Yeah I'm wondering if they did any voice work with him at all or if like the intended goal
was to make him not talk.
Because if I'm remembering correctly the guy that they cast as him isn't an actor by trade.
He's a stuntman.
Oh okay.
So that might or yeah he's a stunt person so that very well be why he didn't talk.
That would be like really funny if they have him talk and they're just like okay yeah no
uh we're gonna make it mute guys.
No offense to you it's nothing against you but yeah we're gonna keep shark boy mute.
Yeah so.
No offense to JJ I'm sure he's a decent actor.
Yeah so anyway uh so costumes coordinate they were pretty they were really good very you
could remember them uh pretty easily.
Oh yeah absolutely yeah.
Easily the best part though.
The kids didn't have very good costumes but the costuming for everyone else was just so
excellent that it was um that's what brought it up.
Yeah I agree.
Alright lastly we got our own personal grade.
So I'll uh Rose I'll let you go take this first.
Do you remember what you gave it?
I think so.
Um did I give it like a 48?
Yeah okay sorry spoiler alert there's my grade.
Um but anyway so for We Can Be Heroes I give a 48.
No I did not get to a 50.
Even the return of lava girl and shark boy or I'm sorry lava lady and shark man.
I couldn't even save this movie.
Um they were like really hyping this up as the unofficial sequel to shark boy and lava
girl so you would think that like oh yeah we're gonna get a lot of them like yeah we're
gonna get these kids in it but we're also gonna see a lot of these two or at least a
decent amount but no we got like a minute of screen time in total of these two.
And I get what they're trying to do like setting up like oh this is like uh their avengers
world this is who the avengers would be in their world but I don't know when it comes
to like the heroics I think it somewhat works for with the adults but I don't know for the
most part I just did not like a lot of the kid actors.
Um just I don't know I feel with a lot of and I know this movie is not directed towards
me but I grew up with a lot of Robert Rodriguez films the three shark wow the three shark
boy films.
The three spy kid films the adventures of shark boy and lava girl.
Those are some of my favorite movies to watch as a kid and even going back to them now I
still enjoy them they're not the greatest but I still enjoy the hell out of these four
movies and so I was really excited to finally see a somewhat sequel to shark boy and lava
girl with we can be heroes but I just did not get that I did not think the story was
really that good the acting from the kids could have been a lot better I've seen so
much better um just the effects weren't really that good um just just a lot of really bad
stuff and what could have been if it was written better or filmed better because like we said
this idea works on paper but on film it just doesn't um so yeah.
I'd like to know where it went wrong in execution I do too but yeah so that's that's why I'm
giving it a 48 you failed me Rodriguez you failed me.
So I ended up giving this movie a 45 um I liked it a little bit less there was just
so many issues with it the kids were not very good actors and I think that there was potential
for a really great movie and it's just a bummer that it wasn't as good as we were hoping I
wasn't expecting a good movie no I mean I was I was expecting like legitimately a C
minus movie yeah that's like yeah that is exact like that's exactly what I was expecting
I was like all right I'm trying to think of something I was expecting a like a slightly
better Justice League yeah I I couldn't go with that yeah so I I had not very high hopes
for this movie and they still let me down and it just it bummed it bummed me out but
yeah the the kids were very cringy a lot of the time and I think oh sorry go honestly
I think the best actor for this was Oh Joe oh because she said nothing except for the
last like 10 minutes yeah but even when she like it's just it was the actress was actually
decent yeah she was awful yeah and like there were times where I'm just like okay like at
least Priyanka Chopra is trying and then there was like once I got to that point where I'm
like hey at least she's actually giving a damn she does something like she did some
like weird like face and I'm like ah damn it well hope yeah I'm just like I'm just
I'm frustrated by this movie do the way oh sorry not what were you saying I was gonna
say okay have you ever seen Malcolm in the Middle on and off yeah okay so there's an
episode where Dewey they're celebrating Dewey's birthday and Abe their neighbor I said I don't
know if their neighbors it was Stevie's father asks Dewey how his birthday is and this just
sums up the movie perfectly he says I expect nothing and I'm still disappointed that that's
an accurate description of this movie yeah I yeah I was still let down and it's it sucks
it sucks it does so let's see what you got for spike it's five yeah I'm just kidding
I don't think there's gonna be a spike it's five but apparently there's gonna be a we
can be heroes too can you include sharkboy and lava girl a bit more I doubt doubtful
cuz like what kind of like we said apparently yeah for real though well it's kind of like
we said it seems like they're just getting rid of the adult heroics and then here's the
junior heroics yeah whatever anyway so those two personal scores average out to forty six
point five damn yeah so our personal score is equal to our the writing score holy shit
holy shit so the final grade for we can be heroes is an F it is the first F that we have
ever given to a movie oh shit yeah and you guys experienced a milestone here on the all
bros yes you did so actually it's actually like okay being fair it is one point four
percent away from a D minus all right it's so it's a very sharp point lava girl would
have been a little more it would have been a D minus I think it would have too yeah like
we said I think the only change that needed to be made to it is training sequence with
the parents yeah that would have boosted it up for me yeah it's a little boosted up a
ton yeah then you don't have this weird like grandma interaction and yeah it's just we're
fixed it yeah drastically a little bit yeah okay maybe not drastically but it would definitely
help the story out a lot yeah so it's scored of or did I say the like the percentage already
I just said it was one point four percent away from all then I don't think you actually
did yeah so it is sitting at a fifty eight point six eight percent yeah so it just needed
a little bit of a boost yeah in just a category oh I'm playing with the scores a little bit
the music would have bumped it up a full percentage if the music would have been a little bit
better and if so okay so let's say just for shits and giggles that the they did have a
training montage with the parents what so if they would have thrown that in and then
kept the rest of the movie like how it was so like maybe subtract the training montage
with the grandma okay and make it a training montage with the parents and then the parents
get captured and then they kind of go on the like the exact same thing like exploration
or mission whatever you want to call it what would you have put the story at what did I
grade it again I forgot you gave the story of 45 I gave it a 50 that would probably boost
me to a 50 it would boost you to a 50 yeah it probably would have boosted me to a 55
okay so that would put us at like 52.5 okay it still would have been an F so nevermind
well we tried yeah well we thought anyway well it probably would have affected our personal
score too but I'm not gonna play with that so good point but anyway it's if you set your
expectations low and go into this movie you'll probably be fine yeah like you'll you're you're
not gonna it's just you'll find some it's one some way of enjoyment not me some way
it's one that you could easily tear apart yes like if you were just to have a movie
night with your buddies and you just wanted to watch a really bad movie and just rip it
to shreds this is a good one to do that too yeah it really is so like we said 58.6 percent
I can't compare to anything else because this is the lowest movies ever gotten oh shit man
yeah the record the record-making we can be here oh let's see if any movie can top it
see if any or dethrone it from yeah let's see yeah lowest let's see if any movie before
episode 200 can dethrone it yeah doubtful yeah great yeah well this concludes this week's
