The week on Myopia: Defend Your Childhood, we 'celebrate' 200 movies by watching Matrix Revolutions! Not the one you are thinking of, there is no space orgy rave, Neo is stuck in a subway station for 20 minutes (then disappears for most of the movie) the Oracle is recast, and Morpheus doesn't matter! Wooo! Don't worry we have a doozy planned for the 200th movie. Please continue to rate and review us!

How do you end up with a classic like Speed 2? Well first you need a classic, like Speed. Ah, the movie making process. First, you get a script together, match it with producers with the vision, who find directors who see that vision, cinematographers who can bring the vision to celluloid, actors who fulfill that vision, and the music and effects that bring it to life. Ah, the sequel making process. First, the director (now also the producer), gets a script, then has a dream that causes him to throw out the original script and rewrite it. This causes the big star of the movie to leave (causing the movie studio to make up a lie involving the actor's band).  Then proceed to add a subplot about a deaf girl (14) in love with the new male lead (to make him seem less like a robot), show the female lead watching Lolita to nail subtext, add leeches and Willem Dafoe, give it a catchy subtitle, like "The Boat that Couldn't Slow Down," or "Cruise Control," and pow! You've got a movie! Please continue to rate and revie

Welcome to 2019 everyone! First of all, thanks for listening to a podcast entitled 'Blues Brothers 2000,' it was hard on us to watch it. Our infinite love and appreciation to you and yours in this new year. Further, we would like to thank you for your continued support this year with the podcast. We grew in leaps and bounds this year and there are exciting things to come! How do we start the year off? With movie sequels that disappointed us! What fun? I mean, what fun! Remember that musical comedy from the 80s? It was a two-hander with a great comedy team with one more stoic than the last, with great musical guests and a mission from God? Well, what if 18 years later, we made a sequel with one of them dead, added a kid, and added magic? Sounds terrible right? Well, at least the soundtrack is good… Please continue to rate and review us!

We post a little early to welcome you a our version of a Merry Christmas, a Michael Caine Musical! Join a self aware narrator and a movie I know so well, I didn't need to rewatch it, though I did anyway. Because, I am a professional.

This week on Myopia: Defend Your Childhood, we watched Alex Jones' favorite Muppet movie, Muppets in Space. Filled with government conspiracy, Dr Teeth (but no singing), and Miss Piggy as a conspiracy TV show host role, this movie is a mess, but still Muppets-ish. Please continue to rate and review us!

As we unfurled our Muppet Month, American Treasure Caroll Spinney (the Voice of Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch) announced his retirement from Sesame Street.  Therefore, we called an audible and watched Follow that Bird, a heartwarming classic of anti-white supremacy, dealing with depression, and road trips.

When I realized that this month had one too many Thursdays, I thought what is a crap movie that I have seen which is vaguely Indiana Jones-ish. I remembered this, the last Disney film that I saw in theaters for about a decade. Turned out it wants to be Stargate more than Indiana Jones. Please continue to rate and review us!

Well, this is the reason you all chose this series isn't it? "Oh, Nic," you thought, "Nic you FOOL! MUHAHAHAHA, this will teach you to trust democracy!" And you laughed! Well, listen here, guy.

We leave the prequel and end up with the final entry into the saga, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Well, the last one for 19 years. I am sure the momentum will keep up when you save one of the most famous treasures in Christendom and introduce an incredible father character.

When last we left Indy, he had defeated the Nazis, saved the girl, and lost the Ark of the Covenant to bureaucratic red tape. However, this week on Myopia: Defend Your Childhood, we find out where he was before that movie in the one that everyone used to think was the worst!

This week on Myopia: Defend Your Childhood, we fall back in love with a great character who doesn't really matter in the plot of his own movie.

This week on Myopia: Defend Your Childhood, we watch a movie that is not sure what it is.

This week on Myopia: Defend Your Childhood, we visit Bill Pullman after that whole President thing and hear some of the worst dialog put to celluloid. We watched Lake Placid, people really need to stop ripping off Steven Spielberg, ok? And no, your pitch of what if Betty White were the bad guy in a Jurassic Park meets Jaws crossover starring a giant alligator does not sweeten the pot. Well, I am lying, that sounds amazing; too bad this was not. Note: There is some mild static on this episode, I tried to fix it, but could not get it completely. Sorry!

Welcome to the monster movie month Matthew maintained! This year for October we crack out a few spooky movies and have a little fun with them; well, as much as can be had with some of this crap. We start with the baffling big budget monster film Godzilla (1998). Fresh off the crushing success of Independence Day, Roland Emmerich has made some upgrades! Replacing sexy and charismatic Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum with Matthew Broderick and Hank Azaria. Replacing sexy love interest Vivica A Fox with Maria Pittio. And replacing the heroic Bill Pullman with Michael Learner (playing Mayor Ebert, a reviewer who gave Independence Day a bad review). The only true upgrade was replacing Randy Quaid with Jeno Reno. So let's get into a Godzilla movie so bad that it saved ToHo productions who made a film where their Godzilla kills this one.  Please continue to rate and review us!
