Episode 110 - Mixed Bag Ep - 5 x Topics

March 24, 2025·26 min·5 clips

DMR comes back after more than two months away and apologizes for the gap. He says he will try to get episodes out more regularly and points listeners to his TikTok page, DMR Dewey's Movie Reviews 1, for shorter reviews. He frames the episode as a mixed bag and says he wanted to give listeners a little variety after the break. Severance leads things off. He reads the Mark S. consent speech about separating work life from personal life, which sets the tone before he pivots to a live-action remake that has drawn controversy. He talks about the red carpet being dropped, the rollout feeling hush-hush, the film's large budget, and one critic's snapshot of an empty Saturday afternoon cinema. He also argues that actors should stick to the job and not use publicity cycles to broadcast political views, then says live adaptations can make sense for younger viewers but that some stories should have been left alone. Starship Troopers comes up next. He remembers the 1997 film from year seven, recalls everyone at school talking about it, and places it in the period just before Saving Private Ryan. He also mentions rumors of a new Starship Troopers movie and says the Rotten Tomatoes scores are strong. He closes by talking about a very cool series he and his wife were glued to, saying it has James Bond and Jason Bourne energy and that a second season seems likely. He ends by noting how much harder it is to keep up with podcasting while working corporate life and raising two little kids.
