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.
