'Coyote vs ACME' releases years after being shelved

Yes, indeed the critics have assembled my man and me as the dog stars are marking their turf at the theater I get it dogs marking a turf And the Thunderbolts in my opinion are striking in the right place, but we begin with a coyote court case so who's to blame There's probably someone to blame Name of the case is coyote versus Wily coyote It's a Looney Tunes court case for the ages as the humor in coyote versus acme gets explosive, that's what's up And this new group of awkward superheroes brings their action to the small screen so don't sleep I'd like not to die today. So maybe somebody else be driving It was Doesn't exist Here it's just us trying to hold on to what was But out there it's kill or be killed And finally Jacob Velordi takes the lead in the dog stars a dystopian thriller that has the critics barking Critically speaking now. Oh man last time. I checked that one had a 40-something percent on Rotten Tomatoes Welcome aboard critically speaking a show that is all about movies I'm your host Lee Thomas and joining me my main man with the master plan Adam Graham My man, I found it. I see you Yes, indeed not a lot to talk about to me in the corner All right, let's do what we do man Let's jump right into it shall we do it do the business of filmmaking or upcoming movies that have caught our attention in this One is getting a lot of buzz Yes, indeed We're still a few months away from the Avengers Doomsday hitting the big screen It's just mentioning it that grabs people's attention and Marvel fans are being given an assignment ahead of time Doomsday co-director Joe Russo told Fandango that fans should rewatch in-game So they understand the upcoming film specifically Avengers in-game encore, which is a re-release of the 2019 film with four minutes added for new minutes along with a sneak peek of The court hits theaters September the 25th Doomsday hits theaters December the 18th do we take the Russo assignment for four minutes of new footage to a 2019 film and some new stuff from Doomsday I say Three hours and two minutes of movie just to get four more minutes. I'll pass. Yeah, let's say you my man I think if I were to watch that and try to pick out which the which of the four which of the minutes were the New minutes, I don't think I don't think I could do that And also Lee I'm not trying to do any additional Homework that I'm already doing on a whole other movies are coming up between now And then that said if I'm gonna watch endgame again at all It would be in the theater and it would be this presentation I'm not gonna watch it at home and I really most of these things all of the Marvel all the Marvel movies I think I can't think of an exception I've seen once mm-hmm, and then I go into the next one and I pick you know, I retain what I've retained from the previous However, many chapters right? I'm not going back. I'm not doing that work and they have TV shows in between Mostly I've skipped as well. Yeah, here's the thing though I did when Iron Man came out which kind of launched the whole Marvel Universe with Robert Downey jr I've probably seen that movie four times Black Panther, I don't know how many times I've seen that movie Yeah, so some of them I have seen twice back in the day sure, but recently there's three Avengers. Do I have to watch the Avengers and then you know Ultron and then in-game just to get up with doomsday if we have to watch endgame to get caught up for this one There's also been like four or five or six or seven or eight movies since endgame. I'm just not doing all that Wow, there really has been that many movies a lot of movies including one that we tease that we're gonna talk about a little Bit later. Yeah, we should have tied up everything to lead into this next one, but right Assignment though just watch the rest of the show cuz we're gonna break down all the movies Forward and talk about movies and this one is like visiting some old loony friends The coyote is tired of his old back tricks backfiring So he hires an attorney and brings a lawsuit in coyote versus acne. I liked it. Plus there's this Jacob lordy But quali and Josh Brolin are under the dog stars in a dystopian future in a film that's exactly as Advertised, but I'm not sure that's a good thing. I'll give you my explanation critically speaking, of course Movie out this weekend without any animated characters stars. Jacob LRD a lordy and Margot quali along with Josh Brolin's post-apocalyptic sci-fi thriller Directed by get this Ridley Scott. Yeah, the award-winning Ridley Scott and critically speaking the dog stars feels like something's missing I miss music miss Driving in the car. I'm listening to music Singing on the way to the grocery store. I miss the grocery store. Yeah Yes, just two very attractive survivors of a pandemic in a post-apocalyptic world connecting in this new sci-fi thriller It's called the dog stars. Now the main character Higg great name I think played by a lordy is a mechanic and pilot who travels by plane in this There's these vast shots of stunning landscapes. Look at that now Josh Brolin He plays this mentor That helps him survive But of course the Lord he wants more and he comes across this father and daughter played by Margot quali and Guy Pearce. I like seeing Guy Pearce here Now the story takes place after a virus in this lawless ungoverned world So some people rob and kill while others are trying to build safe communities directed by the award-winning Ridley Scott The story is solid and the cinematics are top-notch. Here's the problem This film feels like a formula even the dialogue seems like many things We have heard before this movie felt like it was following this kind of formula of what it should be with no new nothing new And no new surprises even the end of the movie where it pans up to this beautiful sky Yeah, it's a thumbs down one hour and 58 minutes the dog stars exactly what you expect, but it's not a hard thumbs down It's a mild thumbs down Adam. I give this one a C But in this case, it's a thumbs down C. Yeah, what say you about the dog star? It's a definitely a big thumbs down leads. Is it a mess? I think it's a mess It's at least three different movies and there's also a pilot There you go Amid the three movies that it may be there's also like a failed pilot for an ABC sitcom ABC like weird drama that's not gonna last a full season like I know that you know what I'm talking about Yes, I do. Let's just say Allison Janney. What in the world was that segment that we eventually get to? I didn't like because there's also like you didn't mention like the meth zombies that are running around this world that are actually Met zombies or not, but they were definitely close. What was happening there It's like there was so many different things and you like the radical shifts in tone Yeah, kind of um, they're cued by the the musical score That sometimes identifies like this kind of like soft with some landscaping kind of peaceful scenes of life in post-apocalyptic wilderness Also, there's like these jarring action scenes like we're seeing right now Yeah, action scenes are really are done really well But they just totally are a total mash with the other things that are happening And I'm not even sure by the time we get to the end of this movie What we're supposed to have taken away from it. Is it that life continues? Is it that people are essentially good when they're not meth zombies? I don't know There are some there are some good things about this movie and chiefly Josh Brolin's performance I love I want to see like 30 more minutes of him being a beast of a kind of survivalist Jacob Elordi in my recall they are also good, but they're like, you know in a Nick Sparks romantic comedy Yeah, a romantic drama that like is it totally apart from all the other things that are happening? I just I just didn't know how any of this was supposed to fit in together into a coherent hole and it doesn't I guess We'll be like a C-minus. There are some nice things but man, it's a real mess. I thought it was gonna be worse C-minus Passing grade in some places, but not And also like there's some good dog stuff, too Oh, yeah, there's some sad dog stuff, but good, but the good stuff kind of it's it's I agree I like a good dog on screen. All right, we'll shift gears to the next. It's a mess. Yeah, I agree. I agree Let's talk about this one And this movie is starring cartoon characters that I watched as a kid the Looney Tunes and critically speaking They are still Looney and I was hesitant about them coming back to the big screen But Wile E. Coyote is my man Biggest corporation in the world. They're suing us for every acne product. He denies all charges That is for you. I got news. Please don't it's not funny cartoons are supposed to be funny It is funny and I did laugh Wile E. Coyote takes the company that made all those faulty products He uses to catch the roadrunner to court John Cena plays acne's big-time lawyer Will Forte plays the small claims attorney Representing the coyote. Yes, it's Looney and raucous and I enjoyed it Lana Condor plays this second chair attorney Intern at the small firm with Forte and the human cast is solid But what makes this film to me is my Looney Tunes man, Bugs Bunny Daffy Duck Elmer Fudd Porky pig ball horn leg horn. I say I say Of course the coyote as well Honestly, I wanted more of Elmer Fudd in some of the Looney Tunes Especially when Elmer Fudd was in Congress. He's on a panel Runtime now in 43 minutes coyote versus acne made me smile brought back good memories. I give this a B It's absolute thumbs up Adam. What say you? Absolute thumbs up Lee. This is a very good movie It didn't have to be good movie at all When I saw that people were talking about it as being a good movie I thought that everybody was on the same laughing gas or something Really funny it is clever It's twice as clever as it needs to be to work and it kind of like really plays with all these like Classic screenwriting cliches to bring you into the story Lee and make you actually feel for some of these characters There is a there is a scene where the Roadrunner is testifying in court Yeah, and I swear that it gets a little bit emotional And you feel for those years and decades of You just said the Roadrunner made you emotional. It's absolutely true And they know what they're doing. They know everything that they're playing with and they really make it work It's also really funny like the gags really work foghorn leghorn for best supporting actor. Let's start When he marches into It's like Gordon Gekko's And there's also like shades of like JFK in the way that they're like playing with like Conspiracy thrillers and courtroom dramas. It's just all again twice as clever as it needs to be and twice as funny as I thought It was going to be a really really good time at the movies I agree this movie got rescued from oblivion It's now in front of us on screens and the time it maybe was never going to be there I think people anybody who goes to see this is gonna have a really fun time Especially if they have affinity for those old Looney Tunes cartoons really good stuff It's really funnily and if it wasn't we would sit here and tell you that it's not but it is Yeah, I was really happy with this. We always speak truth. My man. I'm glad you loved it as much It's a lot of fun. All right, let's move on to another film. That's out this week. And this one is a comedy called idiots You know what we do here Drive rich kids to rehab She drove a choice Careful yes, so there you have it two Unqualified slackers are hired to drive this rich teenager to rehab But obviously they have a sidetrack they go on an adventure It's not as straightforward a job as they thought it would be it turns into craziness idiots stars Dave Franco O'Shea Jackson jr. And Mason Thames. It's rated R and in theaters only right now when we come back You know what time it is now to the movie watch how many times did I look at my watch during your movie and this week, it's all about those Thunderbolts and I don't think so I don't think so jr. Varsity Captain America How nice to see you Ava Elena You look awful. You sure you're really ready. Okay, this film doesn't look awful, but it's no Avengers at all This is something different. Even though all of these heroes come from other Marvel films Florence Pugh She is a great young actress and she's from that Black Widow trained program named Elena David Harbour is the Red Guardian Wyatt Russell is not Captain America. I Think that's his actual title The only real almost Avenger that's here is Sebastian Stan's Bucky the Winter Soldier Now the story is about these trained assassins working for a government agency led by Julia Louis-Dreyfus that is being shut down Director Jake Shriver has Enough action and stars in Thunderbolts to satisfy most fans of superheroes Superhero movies the Thunderbolts is now streaming on Hulu and Disney Plus and in my opinion I said this when it was in theaters a few months ago This is a better movie to stream in my opinion Adam Graham What say you about the Thunderbolts and now streaming on Disney Plus? I call it the new Avengers because they called to the new Avengers That's supposed to be was that supposed to take hold Supposed to replace the title for it. I don't think it worked. I never know I never it didn't really catch on me now. We're coming back to the old Avengers, which are the new Avengers There's so many Anyway, how are we gonna have new Avengers when there's so many can't even count them These are the important conversations Lee, but Thunderbolts is an interesting play. I really like Florence Pugh in this movie I really like Florence Pugh in every movie that she's in Florence Pugh guy So she's watching her and there's that great shot of her when she when she falls off the bed That shot has been stuck in my head Since I saw this movie back when it came out Yeah, it's a good stream if you're gonna do any homework for the upcoming Avengers saga And I believe that's why this is coming out now on these platforms This is good homework to do to catch up with what are the modern Avengers as we get ready for Avengers doomsday in December Coming to theaters and infinity vision people are streaming a lot, you know what I mean? Yeah spider-man Actually was the last spider-man brand-new day was actually homework as well leading up to Avengers how much homework for the Avengers are we gonna get we're gonna get more but you know That that's good because in spider-man the Florence Pugh character was in that as well wedding people's appetites for the I mean But hey people go how why do I have to watch a movie and then they'll go home and stream Eight episodes of whatever show they love. Well, that's the classic conundrum Lee of streaming versus movies It's two hours versus one. Everybody just wants the easy out film in theaters this week called finding Emily Looking for a student Emily You've got two seconds to leave before a call security, all right. Yeah. Okay. All right All right after meeting his the dream girl at a bar a young man gets the wrong phone number and sets out on a Journey to find Emily finding Emily rated pg-13 in theaters only right now when we come back Hadestown the musical is my pick of the week critically speaking that For a few weeks, but now the eight-time Tony award-winning Broadway show Hadestown is video-on-demand for purchase You can watch it at home and it is my pick of the week Adam Graham my man What's your pick of the week? My pick of the week is it ends a new movie that's in theaters this weekend It's about a road trip where four friends post-college are hitting the road together They're going out for a long weekend, but there are the road that they're on Lee. It never ends. Oh, there's no exits There's no way to get off this road and it goes and goes and goes and goes and goes and goes and any time they Stop people run out of the woods and try to kill them So they find out they have 30 seconds and then they got to get back in the car and go and go and go and go And go Twilight Zone episode that really works and kind of plays with time loop situations like Groundhog's Day Thanks, but in like a sci-fi kind of horror kind of way it ends in theaters good stuff my man I appreciate you good stuff as well. Thank you Lee always you bring it every week and you guys thanks for tuning in We appreciate you as long as they keep making movies. We'll keep critically speaking about those films next week Ryan Reynolds in Mayday, so please Take me
