Joel Murphy and Andy McIntyre watch maligned movies and find their silver linings. For the month of August, they are watching films that had a great concept but couldn’t quite nail the execution.

Joel and Andy end the month with AVP: Alien vs. Predator, which feels like it should have been a slam dunk mash up film but somehow ends up feeling forgettable.

[This episode was recorded during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the film being discussed wouldn’t exist.]
