Netflix has a trend of making high budget action films (Extraction, 6 Underground, etc.) and it raised the question for us...why? Well, the answer is simple, people are watching them! In fact of the top 10 Netflix openings as of May 2021, over half are action films. The film we reviewed today breaks into that top 10, tied for 9th, Army of the Dead. Unfortunately, that is the only top 10 this Zack Snyder (300, Man of Steel, Justice League) film will be getting into in our opinion. Around every corner this film has plot holes, pacing issues, poor writing and the list goes on. There is a bright spot however, the ensemble cast led by Dave Bautista (Guardians of the Galaxy, Blade Runner 2049) does the best with the script they have and do at times provide performances that are worth watching. There is also a really cool technical achievement that you can find out more about by listening to the episode!

So without further delay, enjoy our review of our worst rated movie yet, Army of the Dead!

Note: This episode includes spoilers (though we feel the movie was spoiled in the writing room). If you intend to watch this movie with a spoiler free lens, we encourage you to pin this episode for a later listen and go check out the film first. Don't worry, we'll wait.
