Stagione 2
Wicked: For Good
Episode 26: Wicked: For Good Our 50th Episode Spectacular!!!! What happens when one witch gets canceled, the other gets promoted, and absolutely everyone starts singing their trauma? This week on I Can Fix Your Movie, we celebrate our 50th episode by hopping aboard the broomstick for Wicked: For Good and asking the important questions: Can a sequel survive on pure emotional damage and high notes? Does Oz have a functioning legal system? And how many slow-motion cape turns are too many slow-motion cape turns? We dive deep into the emerald-colored chaos, untangle the friendship drama, patch up the plot holes with industrial-strength “magic” glue, and attempt the impossible: fixing a movie that already thinks it’s perfect. Expect big laughs, bigger rewrites, and at least one completely necessary angry producer tangent. For our 50th episode, we’re going bigger, louder, and dramatically staring into the middle distance while orchestral music swells behind us. If you’ve ever wanted Wicked to be sharper, stranger, funnier, or just slightly less dependent on gravity-defying eye contact, congratulations — you’re our kind of nerd.
R.I.P.D. : Rest In Peace Department
Episode 25 – R.I.P.D. Welcome to the afterlife… where the paperwork is endless, the CGI is questionable, and even Jeff Bridges cowboy hilarity can’t save this MIB wanna-be. This week on I Can Fix Your Movie, we dig up R.I.P.D. — the supernatural buddy-cop movie that somehow took Ryan Reynolds, undead monsters, a killer premise, and a mountain of studio money… and still ended up legally classified as cinematic paranormal activity. We break down where the movie flatlined, why the world building is all over the ghost dimension, and how this Men in Black-meets-Ghostbusters concept could’ve actually become a franchise worth resurrecting. Grab your ghost slaying bullets, report to the Rest In Peace Department, and prepare for an investigation into one of Hollywood’s weirdest missed opportunities.
Innerspace
Episode 24: Innerspace This week, I Can Fix Your Movie shrinks itself down to microscopic size to tackle the gloriously chaotic 1987 sci-fi comedy classic Innerspace. Join us as we dive headfirst into a movie that somehow combines miniaturized submarines, corporate espionage, Dennis Quaid’s maximum-80s energy, Martin Short having a full nervous breakdown, and science that appears to have been invented five minutes before filming started. We break down what makes Innerspace such a weirdly lovable cult classic, what still works, what absolutely doesn’t, and how we’d fix the movie without accidentally injecting ourselves into someone’s bloodstream along the way. It’s part sci-fi adventure, part comedy, part Martin Short fever dream, and 100% the kind of movie that could only exist in the 80s… and probably only in the 80s. So grab your tiny submarine, avoid the digestive tract, and join us for another episode of I Can Fix Your Movie.
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
Episode 23: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen What happens when you combine Allan Quatermain, Captain Nemo, Dracula’s ex-girlfriend, an invisible creep, Dr. Jekyll, Dorian Gray, Tom Sawyer for absolutely no reason, and Sean Connery giving 110% Scottish disappointment? You get The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen — one of the most gloriously overstuffed action movies ever created. In Episode 23 of I Can Fix Your Movie, we dive headfirst into the Literary Avengers fever dream that somehow managed to turn one of the coolest concepts ever into a cinematic train wreck. We break down what worked, what absolutely didn’t, and how this movie could’ve become an all-time steampunk action classic instead of the film that reportedly made Sean Connery quit acting. From baffling character choices to missed world-building opportunities, we rebuild the League into the epic adventure it always should’ve been.
Lucy
Episode 22: Lucy What if unlocking 100% of your brain still couldn’t unlock a better storyline? This week on I Can Fix Your Movie, we plug into Lucy—the film that asked “what if humans used more of their brain?” and then immediately used none of it to explain the plot. From disappearing stakes to a finale that turns into a cosmic USB drive, we break down how a high-concept sci-fi thriller somehow outran its own logic at superhuman speed. We keep the slick style, the wild ambition, but we add the heart and rebuild the story with actual tension, clearer rules, and a protagonist whose journey makes sense. If you’ve ever wondered how Lucy could go from “wait…what?” to “oh wow, that works,” this is the episode for you.
From the World of John Wick: Ballerina
Episode 21: From the World of John Wick: Ballerina In a world where assassins have better posture than most of us, Ballerina pirouettes into the John Wick universe with grace, grit, and a blood soaked body count. This week, we lace up our pointe shoes and step into the chaos to break down what works, what wobbles, and what completely faceplants. We dig into the film’s story, characters, and action (and there was a lot of it) to ask the big question: does this spin-off stick the landing, or does it miss the mark by a mile? Along the way, we pitch our fixes, sharpen the stakes, and maybe add a little more kick to the choreography (both literal and narrative). If you’ve ever wondered how to make a revenge thriller hit as hard as a Wick headshot, this episode is for you. Join us as we try to turn Ballerina into a performance worthy of a standing ovation… or at least fewer confused looks from the audience.
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
Episode 20: Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter What if the 16th President didn’t just free the slaves—but also staked the undead? In this blood-soaked and bizarre episode of I Can Fix Your Movie, we sink our teeth into Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, the genre-blending spectacle that dares to ask: “What if history had more axe wielding presidents and fewer facts?” Join us as we dissect the film’s ambitious premise, celebrate its over-the-top action, and tackle the narrative missteps that kept it from becoming a true cult classic. From sharpening Lincoln’s emotional arc to reworking the villainous vampire conspiracy, we pitch bold, cinematic fixes that could transform this presidential power fantasy into a legendary blockbuster. Whether you’re a fan of alternative history, vampire lore, or just love seeing movies reimagined, this episode is one you won’t want to miss. Grab your top hat and silver-tipped axe—it’s time to fix history.
Mercy
Episode 19: Mercy This week on I Can Fix Your Movie, we dive into Mercy (2026)—a film packed with emotional stakes, moral dilemmas, and just enough chaos to keep things interesting… but not always coherent. Beneath its intense premise lies a story that almost lands a powerful message about justice, sacrifice, and what it truly means to show mercy—but “almost” is kind of our thing. We break down what the film gets right (because there’s definitely some good in here), where it stumbles, and how a few key changes could transform it into something unforgettable. From tightening character motivations to reworking pivotal moments that should hit harder, we roll up our sleeves and do what we do best—fix the story without losing its heart. If you’ve seen Mercy, get ready to rethink it. If you haven’t, we’ll make you wish this was the version you got.
Anaconda (2025)
Episode 18: Anaconda (2025) This week on I Can Fix Your Movie, we slither into the jungle with the 2025 reimagining of Anaconda—a film that had all the right ingredients for a pulse-pounding survival thriller but somehow drowns. With a stacked cast, updated visuals, and a chance to reinvent a cult creature feature, this version aimed higher—but did it actually squeeze the tension tight enough? Or did it let the story slip away? Join us as we break down where the film coils up nicely and where it completely constricts its own potential. From character choices that don’t quite track to missed opportunities for real suspense, we dig into what went wrong—and more importantly, how we’d fix it. If you love creature features, chaotic jungle adventures, or just watching us wrestle a movie back into shape, this is one episode you don’t want to miss.
Shazam!
Episode 17: Shazam! What if getting the powers of a god still wasn’t enough to fix your movie? This week on I Can Fix Your Movie, we grab the wizard’s staff, yell “Shazam!” way too many times, and try to figure out how a film about a kid-turned-superhero somehow forgot to have a super powered storyline. The charm is there, the jokes (mostly) land—but we saw some serious missed opportunities hiding in plain sight. So we ask the real questions: What if the emotional beats hit harder than a lightning bolt? And what if the final act didn’t feel like it needed a magical rewrite… but got one anyway? Or… Why does the younger Shazam feel older than the grown up version? We break it all down, rebuild it from the ground up, and pitch the version of Shazam! that could’ve truly been super. Say my name… and hit play.
