This week on Myopia Movies, we dive into the explosive world of buddy cop chaos with our latest episode on Rush Hour 2. Join us as we unravel the mystery of how Jackie Chan’s impeccable martial arts and Chris Tucker’s endless chatter somehow make for cinematic gold. We’ll explore the finer points of high-kicking action and laugh-out-loud banter, all while questioning why these two keep finding themselves in increasingly ridiculous situations. Spoiler: It’s because we love it. Tune in for a whirlwind tour of Hong Kong and Las Vegas that will leave you wondering if you, too, could survive a casino brawl and still have time for a comedy routine.

Welcome back to another episode of “Myopia Movies,” where we strap in for the cinematic car crash you can’t look away from! This week, we embark on a journey to the lunar land of broken dreams and bad investments with Adventures of Pluto Nash.

Picture this: Eddie Murphy in space. Sounds promising, right? Well, hold onto your moon boots because this isn’t the star-studded, sci-fi spectacular you might imagine. Instead, it’s a $100 million black hole of comedy that makes you question everything—your taste in movies, your life choices, and even the concept of money itself.

Join us as we dissect the plot—or the lack thereof—of this lunar lunacy, featuring a club owner who dreams of… well, owning a club. From the laughable special effects to the “did-they-really-think-this-was-funny?” dialogue, we’ll navigate the rocky terrain of one of Hollywood’s most notorious box office bombs.

So, buckle up and prepare for a mission to the dark side of the moon, where the only thing lower than gravity is the bar for comedy. Adventures of Pluto Nash: It’s out of this world… and straight into the bargain bin.

How will Adventures of Pluto Nash hold up?

Host: Nur

Panel: Keiko, Nic, Charlie, Daniel
