Why Wasn't It Better?

Some James Bond fans will tell you that an actor always hits their stride with their third entry as the British secret agent. Did Pierce Brosnan achieve that with The World Is Not Enough? Many would tell you no, but we might tell you otherwise. Don't be confused. So are we. Guest Kai Wang returns to share his thoughts.

Mission: Impossible III has a strange legacy. It kept the series going after the ill-received second entry. In some ways it served as a soft reboot. It set things up for the series to dominate in the next decade. Yet it is often overlooked. Why? Should Tom Cruise have done better, or is this now underrated? Guest Tom Paradiso has chosen to accept the mission of discussing it.

The film that holds the notorious distinction of being the only film in the franchise to fail at the box office, Solo: A Star Wars Story was supposed to work. An origin story about one of cinema's most beloved heroes, directed by the steady hand of Ron Howard? Turns out Disney severely miscalculated. But nearly a decade on, is it really as bad as its box office numbers? Or does it deserve some love? Guest Adam Hecht is back for some Star Wars therapy.

Episode four of our Stephen King mini-season and also a Patreon request! Edgar Wright's reboot of The Running Man fell completely flat at the box office last year, despite the name of Stephen King and the involvement of Glenn Powell. Why did it fail so badly? Is it destined for cult classic status? Guest Daniel Ake returns to the podcast to help figure it out.
