Reboot or Deboot? Ep. 23: Open Your Eyes & Vanilla Sky

Open your eyes, audience, a new TWC episode just dropped. It's safe to say that Penelope Cruz is the dreamy driving force in the better one of these two surrealist films. Swallowing the idea of watching these movies means something, so give us some leeway. Join us next time as we talk about the first two OVA movies of the Black Jack series while we take a brief break from Reboot or Deboot! Open your eyes, audience, a new TWC episode just dropped.

Reboot or Deboot? Ep. 22: The Wedding Banquet

We, The Worst Critics, take these two movies, to watch and critique, for mids film, for witty romcom, in reboot and in deboot, to hate and to enjoy, till boredom do us part. See if the 2025 remake is a refreshing update or a confusing retread on this episode of Reboot or Deboot! Join us next time as we talk about Open Your Eyes (1997) and Vanilla Sky (2001)!

Reboot or Deboot? Ep. 21: True Grit

One of these moving pictures is a mule's hair shy of a henhouse and the other is meaner than a widow's bullet. I reckon that one of them here Rooster Cogburns was a fantastical portrayal of a drunkard past his prime and one of 'em was portrayed by a fantastical drunkard past his prime. If my words inflame and incense your persons and you take thems as shootin' words, then I s'pose you'll have to pull up a rockin' chair, a pouch of baccy, a spatoon, and some fierce ears to drop eaves on our ascertainment of the age old question as to whether or not the remake was a retootin' or a detootin'! Join us in a week as we discuss Ang Lee's Wedding Banquet and its 2025 remake!

Reboot or Deboot? Ep. 20: Insomnia

If you're able to stay awake, you might find out whether this reboot was a deboot or not. I'm too tired to think of something clever. A good reviewer can't sleep because a movie can be so bad, a bad reviewer can't sleep because he doesn't know why movies are bad. Join us in two weeks as we watch True Grit and its remake!

Reboot or Deboot? Ep. 19: The Incredible Journey & Homeward Bound

With a knick knack paddy whack, give a dog the voice of Michael J. Fox, these old men came rolling home. Which movie found its way into our hearts and which one got lost in the woods on the way there? Join us as we take you on an unforgettable trip with thrills, emotions, and the idea that every single animal actor is actually mistreated and animal handlers are evil? In two weeks time, John and Noah find themselves reviewing the 1997 film Insomnia and its 2002, Chris Nolan counterpart.

Reboot or Deboot? Ep. 18: Drug War & Believer

Trust us when we say that we were surprised when we realized which movie deserved our praise. One option was too high on its own supply while the other was a smooth ride through criminal mischief. Join us in two weeks as we tackle The Incredible Journey and Homeward Bound!

Re-Boot or De-Boot? Ep. 16: Going Places & The Jesus Rolls

This one was grueling for reasons we had not anticipated nor could we have imagined. The debate as to which movie we disliked more is one we were not expecting. Erotic degeneracy versus a monotonous impassivity, who comes out on the bottom? Join us in two weeks as we talk about The Manchurian Candidate and its 2004 remake!

Re-Boot or De-Boot? Ep. 15: Super Special Spectacular Holiday Special: The Bishop's Wife & The Preacher's Wife

One of these films was dashing through the snow and far more charming and suave than the other more perplexing, one-dimensional choice. The real question is which angel swooned us harder, and that answer may be less obvious. Join us next time as we (we swear this time) watch Going Places (1974) and The Jesus Rolls!

Re-Boot or De-Boot? Ep. 14: The Guilty

Shhh, can you hear that? Listen closely. Yeah, that's what I thought it was. It's the sound of The Worst Critics discovering a newly certified banger. Which take was the subtle, gripping banger and which was the overly complex, more stilted approach? Everything is in the audio, so listen up as we prattle on about these two films. Join us in two weeks for our reviews of Going Places (1974) and its remake The Jesus Rolls!

Re-Boot or De-Boot? Ep. 13: A Star is Born

Three movies enter, and well, three movies leave. In the first ever 3-parter, we decide whether or not these movies deserve to be lost and forgotten in their prime or thrust back into the spotlight with a fresh perspective. Which of the three are shining lights and which are crude, hardheaded attempts at a story. Join us in two weeks as we give our thoughts on the Danish film, The Guilty, and its 2021 American remake!
