Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

Chris, Franco, and Jonathan return after a scheduled break, joking about Jonathan’s Disney vacation and discussing annual passes, passholder magnets, and the pin-trading scene, including early-morning pin drops, limited Muppet pins, fake pins, and Hidden Mickey pins. In one-minute reviews, they cover Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die (Sam Rockwell time-travel sci-fi comedy) and an early AMC screening of Pixar’s Hoppers, described as “Avatar for kids,” mention missing Cold Storage due to late showtimes, and reference an NDA film. News includes a new Wayans Brothers Scary Movie trailer they dislike, Netflix backing out of a Paramount/Warner Bros. merger, and several reported deaths. They list March 3 and March 10 physical-media releases, then review The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring with cast notes, filmmaking trivia, favorite scenes, and scores, previewing The Two Towers next.

One Minute Review: Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die | Hoppers

Movie News:

The new Scary Movie trailer was released, and I’m not surprised at how the Waynes Brothers are bringing back all the bad parts of the previous movies https://youtu.be/7Uo6XPz_RhI?si=wl2Qk_rsqMb3UoWR

Looks like the Paramount/WB merger is a done deal as Netflix backs out, which will be “good” for all of us.
