We discuss the Pixar movie Lightyear (2022) starring Chris Evans, KeKe Palmer and Taika Waititi available now on Disney+. While most of us agreed that this is great movie with loveable characters and great visuals, one of the hosts can’t get past the fact that it barely ties into the Toy Story franchise. Would this have better as a stand-alone sci-fi adventure film?

BMM Ep 46: In Time

We took a break from new releases to revisit In Time (2011), starring Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried. Streaming currently on Amazon Prime, this sci-fi film explores the concept of time replacing money as currency in the near future. While intriguing, the concept falls apart with basic questioning. Instead of attempting to answer these plot holes, the movie writers attempt to distract us with low-stake action sequences and at least a dozen time puns. But alas, we had a good TIME on this episode (Sorry).

BMM Ep 48: Day Shift

We’re talking Day Shift (2022) starring Jamie Foxx, Snoop Dogg, & James Franco. This Netflix original had one of the coldest opening sequences for a vamp-action flick, but quickly fell flat with the inclusion of a MIB-like agency for vampire hunting. We suggest an alternate final fight, the lead character we wished had more screen time and a certain running gag joke that just wasn’t funny.
