RunPee Weekly Newsletter #104 (March 9th, 2022)
The app that tells you the best time to run and pee during a movie without missing the best scenes. The Batman My impression is that in all of the Batman movies we’ve seen since Dark Knight we see mostly Bruce Wayne, and Batman fills in the action sequences. Batman is essentially Bruce Wayne’s alter-ego.…

The Batman Peeple’s Poll breakdown
A lot of you know we have a poll in the RunPee app where we ask fans to rate a movie before they see it — using expectations — and again after they see it, to compare how it did. We think this is some pretty unique movie data and shows some interesting trends. We…

MCU Disney+ Review – WandaVision
And here we go with the MCU’s dive into television. Incidentally, should it still be the MCU? Or should it now be the MCTVU? I guess that’s one of those questions which doesn’t require looking at too closely. Anyway, WandaVision is the first TV series from Marvel Studios and, also, the introduction to Phase Four,…

Spider-Man Peeple’s Poll results over time
Spider-Man: No Way Home is, as of writing, the most popular movie ever in our Peeple’s Poll (92.6)—just barely squeaking past Avengers: Endgame (92.2). Something I was curious about is how the movie’s rating would change over time. Here is the After Movie Rating for Spider-Man: No Way Home, broken down by day. The range of the…

Non-Christmas Christmas Films: Home Alone 2 – Lost in New York (1992)
It’s another Christmas, a year later, and young Kevin is lost again. I’m not sure if there’s some intensely bad parenting involved, or if the kid just attracts trouble, but so it goes. It’s basically Die Hard 2, with a ten-year-old, and everyone in-universe pretty much knows it. “Not again” is the theme, which I…

Classic Christmas Rewatch – Home Alone (1990)
So I’ve been thinking about my favorite Christmas movie category – the ones I call Non-Christmas Christmas Films. This fun category includes such classics as Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, and Gremlins. Iron Man 3. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. I have a useful list going here. But in that post, I ask if Home Alone deserves…

Movie Review – Dune From A Dune Virgin
To hear all the kerfuffle going on you’d assume that what was coming was something akin to a new branch of the Star Wars mythology, an interim MCU phase, or a new found Tolkien saga. Instead, what we have is a film of an, allegedly, unfilmable novel… actually, series of novels if the franchise takes…

Ghostbusters 3: Afterlife – An Original Cast Ghostbusters Teaser Trailer
I’m on board for the upcoming Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Also, it might make me rewatch Ghostbusters 2. MAYBE. Not sure I can stomach it — number 2 was that bad. But really, this is the time to pull this series out of the dust bin, since most of the main players are still at large and…

No Time To Die Again: Views Following A Bond 25 Re-Watch
Elsewhere there are my initial thoughts on No Time To Die as well as Dan’s first impressions. Maybe because we had slightly different views on Daniel Craig’s final outing as Bond I thought I’d go back and take another look. This wasn’t a hardship to me in the slightest; I knew it would be a…

The Giant James Bond Rewatch – Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)
Of all the things that Tomorrow Never Dies has going for it something that, perhaps, doesn’t spring immediately to mind is the sheer weight of originality. This is the first film in the franchise to have no relationship with anything written by Ian Fleming outside of the character names. Licence To Kill was a virtual pick and mix…
