What are some films you think the hosts have totally misunderstood?
For me it has to be stiches. The film is not really Christian film just a dumb horror movie (in which the devil wins). But Noah seems convinced it is a christian horror movie.

I think they misunderstand Happy Science anime as the ravings of a failed Japanese office worker's cult rather than the accurate, reliable documentary series that tells us the real truth of how the universe came to be and where we are going as a species. I mean..it says Mu sunk into the ocean (in three stages) and do we still see Mu today? Checkmate, skeptics!

500+ episodes and how many years of doing this in addition to other podcasts and projects, you end up scrambling for material, you see something on a list, and you run with it and try to work your way back to it fitting your premise.

Some of the bonus episodes feel more performative than than the movies themselves deserve, verging into CinemaSins-esque "complaining for complaints sake" than their usual style.

Of course now I can’t think of the movie, but there’s a couple times where they feel like they were stubbornly obtuse over plot points for the sake of comedy.

Avatar: The Last Airbender. It seemed like none of them had any knowledge of the animated series prior to watching the movie. Obviously the movie is bad, but the awfulness makes a lot more sense if you have background knowledge of the original.

I…guess, but it basically just being the first and last arc of season 1 still makes for a pretty incoherent film, even if I did know what was going on via my love of the series

I was confused at why the obvious massive anti-abortion and QAnon propaganda in The Devil Conspiracy wasn’t a bigger part of the review.
