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.
