189: Matrix Revolutions
The week on Myopia: Defend Your Childhood, we ‘celebrate’ 200 movies by watching Matrix Revolutions! Not the one you are thinking of, there is no space orgy rave, Neo is stuck in a subway station for 20 minutes (then disappears for most of the movie) the Oracle is recast, and Morpheus doesn’t matter! Wooo! Don’t worry we have a doozy planned for the 200th movie.

This week on Myopia: Defend Your Childhood, we learn why they stopped calling this movie “The Mummy III.” We watched The Scorpion King! In which Daniel convinces me that the Rock is not always the charismatic heroic hunk I thought he was, what can I say except you’re welcome.

186: Speed 2: Cruise Control
How do you end up with a classic like Speed 2? Well first you need a classic, like Speed. Ah, the movie making process. First, you get a script together, match it with producers with the vision, who find directors who see that vision, cinematographers who can bring the vision to celluloid, actors who fulfill that vision, and the music and effects that bring it to life.
Ah, the sequel making process. First, the director (now also the producer), gets a script, then has a dream that causes him to throw out the original script and rewrite it. This causes the big star of the movie to leave (causing the movie studio to make up a lie involving the actor’s band). Then proceed to add a subplot about a deaf girl (14) in love with the new male lead (to make him seem less like a robot), show the female lead watching Lolita to nail subtext, add leeches and Willem Dafoe, give it a catchy subtitle, like “The Boat that Couldn’t Slow Down,” or “Cruise Control,” and pow! You’ve got a movie!

185: Blues Brothers 2000
Welcome to 2019 everyone! First of all, thanks for listening to a podcast entitled ‘Blues Brothers 2000,’ it was hard on us to watch it. Our infinite love and appreciation to you and yours in this new year. Further, we would like to thank you for your continued support this year with the podcast. We grew in leaps and bounds this year and there are exciting things to come! How do we start the year off? With movie sequels that disappointed us! What fun? I mean, what fun!
Remember that musical comedy from the 80s? It was a two-hander with a great comedy team with one more stoic than the last, with great musical guests and a mission from God? Well, what if 18 years later, we made a sequel with one of them dead, added a kid, and added magic? Sounds terrible right? Well, at least the soundtrack is good…

We post a little early to welcome you a our version of a Merry Christmas, a Michael Caine Musical! Join a self aware narrator and a movie I know so well, I didn’t need to rewatch it, though I did anyway. Because, I am a professional. We watched the Muppet Christmas Carol, So enjoy!
I want to thank you all for making 2018 the best year yet! After iTunes deleted over half my reviews, more of you stood up to be counted and I appreciate that! People came to say ‘hi’ at Cineprov, which is award winning now, for which I am also grateful. I keep doing this because you keep encouraging me and I love you for that!

182: Muppets in Space
This week on Myopia: Defend Your Childhood, we watched Alex Jones’ favorite Muppet movie, Muppets in Space. Filled with government conspiracy, Dr Teeth (but no singing), and Miss Piggy as a conspiracy TV show host role, this movie is a mess, but still Muppets-ish.
