I know I'm a couple years late to this party, but as someone who was in every demographic this was targeted to when it came out, I 100% agree with y'all about the film. Art style was neat and some of the effects were OK but the story is terrible.

I think the point of the childhood home is it's across from his present home thus pointing out he doesn't want to let go of things. I don't remember it coming up much in the comic either though.

I find it kinda funny that the issues of his character is that he is a jerk... that's the point. it like saying Scrooge is a mean Miser, that's the point. the film acknowledge this, the characters acknowledge this. the references to gaming and comics are to bookmark the generation the source is depicting. (kinda like pulp fiction and boogie nights). oh and Wallace being over the top (not really though) I'd not a big deal, everyone is. the only regular person is Scott's sister and he's only one notch above  that. the joke is that he's a smooth player but with men, that's pretty  "Progressive" if you ask me. You don't have to like the movie but at least understand it and not virue signal to the point of announcing the obvious. it's boring, love you guys and will continue to consume you content.

I dont even think they bothered to read the comic.  Most if not all these criticisms are invalid on the basis that reading fixes them and they throw the blame on the story instead asking questions.

You'd think a movie about a GIANT WOLF would be less predictable.

A documentary about some fascinating men. And also Roy Shildt.

This awful movie about moderately giant ants looks at a SyFy Original and wishes it could be that funny... and it's not like SyFy Originals set a very high bar.

There are movies that have dated quite badly... and then there's this tale of broken ethics and jawdropping CGI.

The best thing about yearly traditions is when they end. This will be the final word on Pixels, as we produce our third podcast about Adam Sandler's masterpiece.

The Spin-Off Doctors: Pixels (Our Final Pixelscast)

There was a very brief period of "nerds are cool now" in the late 2000s and early 2010s. We all got over it pretty quickly, but boy did it make for some poorly dated films. 

Anyway, here's a movie about a bad human being getting everything he wants.

The Spin-Off Doctors: Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World

What can even be said about this hot nonsense? 

Treasure of the Four Crowns is a very special B movie in which dinosaur attacks barely warrant a mention and everything has to explode. It's a real... head turner.

The Spin-off Doctors: Treasure Of The Four Crowns

Oh this one's bad. This one should be tried for war crimes. This is Uwe Boll's most hateful, humiliating, pathetic film ever. This is Blubberella, and it is for those who do not fear Hell.

We take a brief detour from our scheduled Detective Pikachu episode, since we forgot to do a non-game film for the new year. Enjoy Demon Knight, a terrific Tales from the Crypt movie that features Billy Zane going full Billy Zane.
