Joel Murphy and Andy McIntyre continue their quest to watch maligned movies in hopes of finding a silver lining. For the month of August, they are going deep on unnecessary movie sequels.

This week, Joel and Andy watch A Good Day to Die Hard, the fifth installment in the Die Hard franchise. The film sees John McClane traveling to Russia to help his spy son Jack. It’s an utterly underwhelming and ridiculous addition to the Die Hard canon, but together they will find its silver lining.

Joel Murphy and Andy McIntyre continue their quest to watch maligned movies in hopes of finding a silver lining. For the month of August, they are going deep on unnecessary movie sequels.

They are starting with Jaws: The Revenge, the fourth installment in a franchise that helped launch the modern blockbuster. In this film, sharks are vindictive murderers and there’s a Great White stalking the Brody family all the way to the Bahamas. It’s a mess … but together Joel and Andy will find its silver lining.

Joel Murphy and Andy McIntyre are continuing their quest to watch maligned movies in hopes of finding a silver lining.

For the month of July, they are watching maligned superhero movies.

They end the month with the 2019 Hellboy reboot starring David Harbour. The film hoped to launch a new franchise that distinguished itself from the beloved Guillermo del Toro films, but is bogged down by a muddled script and poor CGI and make up effects. However, together Joel and Andy find its silver lining.

For the month of July, they are watching superhero movies.

1997 was an odd year for comic book movies. In addition to Batman & Robin (which we revisited to start the month), ’97 gave us Steel, a film starring Shaquille O’Neal as John Henry Irons, a man who builds himself a metal suit to fight crime with the help of his disabled partner Sparks.

Joel and Andy revisit the film to find its silver lining.

When you think maligned superhero movies, you don’t tend to think of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which has become the gold standard for the genre. However, as much as it now seems like the MCU can’t miss, the early days were a bit more rocky. Perhaps the rockiest film of all is Thor: The Dark World, the lackluster Phase 2 sequel to Thor.
