About this episode
This week on the I Hate Critics Movie Review Podcast, we take a look at the weekend box office releases for August 1st—including a reboot, a remake, and an emotional indie drama. Fantastic 4 Another attempt to bring Marvel's first family to the big screen—will this reboot finally get it right? We break down the casting, the story choices, and whether it holds a candle to previous iterations… for better or worse. Naked Gun Yes, that Naked Gun. A reboot of the iconic slapstick franchise that starred Leslie Nielsen hits theaters, and we ask the important question: can modern comedy recapture the absurd brilliance of the original? Or should some franchises be left untouched? Together An indie drama with a powerful emotional core. We dive into this intimate, relationship-driven film and discuss how well it balances its themes of love, grief, and connection. A smaller release, but one that may leave a big impact.
