Welcome back everyone to another episode of Sprecken ze Geek. We are now both back and ready to talk! No theatrical review this week but we do discuss last episodes streaming review of The Guest and then dive right into this weeks Nerd News: Lionsgate making a Borderlands movie, First images of Michael Fassbender’s outfit from Assassins Creed movie, Suicide Squad wraps filming, Metal Gear 5 and lament Star Wars spoilers (without really talking about them… because we hate spoilers).
We also do our Summer movie wrap up from the list we put together on Episode 104. This is where we go over all the movies we did and didn’t see and give our closing thoughts.
Final tally and cost of each of our movie watching season. Cost is calculated with average $9 ticket price
Also back on Episode 106 we decided to put a bet on Antman’s domestic gross. Needless to say we both lost with Antman’s current (and for the matter of this bed we will call it Final) Domestic Gross is sitting at 161 Milion. There was video proof taken and it will be posted as soon as the Webmistress gets the video to us (funny enough we mention how that was a bad idea on this episode).
For this weeks streaming review we watched The Guest which was suggested by listener Kristi. For this movie we both went in with no expectations and came out with mixed reactions. The movie is far from great but there are some bits of promise here. Sadly, neither of us felt that it ever really panned out. It felt like the movie was trying to be two things and we both agreed that it should have stuck with the idea that he was a disturbed drifter/discharged soldier. The ‘sci-fi’ twist felt rushed and just ruined the momentum of the movie. We both gave it a hesitant 3 out of 5 stars and warn anyone who ventures into the movie to possibly look elsewhere.
Next weeks streaming suggestion comes from Bat’s wife Sarah. This time we are treated to the ‘wonderful’ acting duo of Hayden Christenson and Nicolas Cage in Outcast. Watch the trailer and be either mortified or very curious… we’re a little of both.
