194: The Nutty Professor (Original – 1963)
This week on Myopia: Defend Your Childhood, we see the origin of Professor Frink. We watched the Jerry Lewis classic The Nutty Professor (Original – 1963), so the hero who learns something still gets the girls at the end, but the girl is his student…the 1960s were weird…

This week on Myopia: Defend Your Childhood, we try to convince Daniel that Alice in Wonderland (the book) is as undeciferable as the movie. We watched Alice in Wonder! No, not that one, or that one, the one with Christopher Lloyd, Gene Wilder, and Haggrid. No, not that one either.

192: Danger Island (AKA The Presence)
This week on Myopia: Defend Your Childhood, we learned where June Lockheart was hiding. We watched the 1992 TV movie that is mostly LOST, Danger Island (AKA The Presence, after the pilot was not picked up). Matthew chose this movie because the evil government plan has the same name as my daughter. Whee!!!

191: Pirates of Silicon Valley
This week on Myopia: Defend Your Childhood, we forgot about Valentine’s Day and while we hide from significant others, here is a movie! Before the think pieces starring Michael Fassbender, Ashton Kutcher, and Justin Long, there was a movie about how Steve Jobs was an asshole and it was on TV!

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.

188: Scorpion King
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…
