Personally, I’ve always thought that the Gerudo War was a really solid explanation following the events of OoT as to why there aren’t any Gerudo left possibly apart from Telma.
Do you have a favorite recipe you’ve made from the cookbook?
An unironic guilty pleasure of mine to watch around the holidays. MST3K on Netflix made a great episode about it.
Specifically the first two, they’re both pretty solid (although I do like 2 better). After that, 3 wasn’t great and 4 felt like a slog to watch.
Welcome to the Wayne was basically Nickelodeon’s “Gravity Falls” and followed three kids around The Wayne apartment complex as they try and uncover why supernatural things are occurring in The Wayne. I’m sure there are some who actually do remember this show, but Welcome to the Wayne also aired in 2014 as an online animated shorts series, with the shorts free to watch on the Nick app.
I never watched the show, but I remember really liking the online shorts. I never finished watching all of them though…
Anyone else remember this show or the online shorts?
I’m kinda surprised Cody hasn’t made more reviews about these “supernatural best friend” type films apart from Bumblebee. I do remember the commercials would play all the time during the 2010’s and the movie evidently ended up with some 5’s and 6’s on IMDB and a 23% on RT.
Not only is the concept bizarre, the film itself is somehow stranger.
It follows the titular dinosaur and Whoopi Goldberg who have to solve a string of murders around a futuristic dystopian city, but I’m gonna be honest and say that the plot doesn’t matter. Quite literally nothing in the film matters because of how all of it not only makes zero sense but barely connects to another thread in the story.
Here’s an example; later in the film, Whoopi and Theodore go to interrogate a potential suspect and there’s a random small homuculus basically (think Bob from Beetlejuice but tiny) that they try to interrogate instead since they can’t find where the other person is. The homonculus guy is never explained before or after this scene, and this entire sequence doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of the film’s “plot”.
The main characters themselves are also terrible. Theodore’s supposed to be this likable underdog cop who helps to solve the crime but in reality he’s the total opposite. He isn’t funny or charming, his suit is very much in the “uncanny valley” and near the start of the film, he hits on the victim’s widow, Molly, who immediately is fine hooking up with Theodore for some reason. (Also just as an aside, Theodore has a dog, but you can clearly tell how visibly distressed the dog is with the uncanny dinosaur costumes on set, and the dog was the only character I sympathized with the whole movie) Whoopi Goldberg’s character also isn’t great, but that’s more so because she’s just kind of boring and not super well written. She’s just the “serious cop” until she isn’t.
The only way I could think to best describe this movie is it reminds me of the original Mario Bros movie from the 90’s, but somehow less cohesive and worse to watch.
