My Favorite Movies of 2023 

Your X-Men Parallel to TMNT is a solid point.

Was hoping you would talk about Dungeons and Dragons

Still waiting on that Fantastic 4 pitch Nando!

Godzilla minus one is coming to Amazon prime in may. (I am editing this I just learned that is only happening for prime in Japan). I am sorry if I excited some people.

TMNTMM goes hard af. It's like claymation and a teenager's doodles mixed together.

Whoa he really v movie-ing now

"The turtles have an abysmal track record" *shows clips from far and away the best turtles movie*

I know you said Jennifer Lawrence has never done a movie like No Hard Feelings before, but she did win her Best Actress award as the lead in a rom-com (although it sounds like this leaned more heavily into the "com" side of things than Silver Linings Playbook did)

If you like seeing the Jackie Chan style done in animation the LEGO Ninjago movie might be worth checking out. It has a similar style of action and was also coordinated by Jackie Chan as he plays a very similar role to splinter in that movie as well.

I only knew about Mutant Mayhem because it was on the box when I got Pizza Hut, but it was amazing!

Blackberry was such a sleeper hit for me, I ended up watching that movie 3 times the week it came out

The Weekly Planet guys said Russell Crowe's Greek accent for Love and Thunder was a very specific accent you hear from Greek people in Australia. I'm guessing it's the same with his Italian accent.

Dude the old TMNT movie is FANTASTIC, it is literally the opposite of "bad costumes"

The best part of the Pope exorcist is the goof up they had with the inquisition. Instead of the real world symbol, they didn't double check and used the Inquisition emblem from Dragon Age XD

Theater Camp is one of my favs from last year. One of my film students during a summer film program was in the film. We all went together as a class to see it with him; oddly enough, we went on 7/27 which is the exact day of the Joan musical takes place.

Gotta say you did a great job pitching these movies! I already wanted to watch May December, but now I'm really interested in the rest of your faves.

Big fan and love this video, and I agree 10000% with your take on TMNTMM. I just wanted to mention recently on the lead up to deadpool3 me and my wife rewatched all the X-movies in release order (many of which she had never seen) It was a great experience however I will say I expected x2 and First Class to be highlights. They are not. IMO they really don’t hold up as well as some other films in the series and some actually fair better on a rewatch. Apocalypse is still terrible. I would love to see you rewatch these movies either on this channel or your podcast to see how you feel about them on a revisit.

@23:40 I will not stand for this 'Days of Future Past' erasure!

Bro beefing with ayo

May December was 100% snubbed. Portman and Melton should have been nominated. Portman's performance where she slowly mirrors Gracies mannerisms is creepy!

This video is fantastic because you gave me great reasons to watch movies I would have otherwise ignored. Future date nights coming up!

Calling the 1990 tmnt costumes horrible is a horrible take but glad u enjoyed mm! Great vid as always dude

After watching so many Mostly Nitpicking...absolutely not surprised that Popes Exorcist is on this list

Im a firefighter and i endorse this message.

Theater Camp was EASILY one of my favorite films of 2023!!!

I was tearing up and then at 26:18 I was like "we got lost the race allegory sauce'

You need to watch Minus one bro. This list will change after you do

THANK YOU for that No Hard Feelings appreciation!!! Somehow it was one of my favourite movies of 2023, and sometimes I feel like I’m the only person who actually liked it. Partly because I’m already incredibly biased towards JLaw and ABF, but also just because I had an absolute blast catching a spontaneous 9 pm summer night showing with some of my closest friends. It’s such a fun movie and I have a blast with it every time

Theater Camp No Hard Feelings May December The Pope's Exorcist TMNT: Mutant Mayhem

While I thought TMNT was just a fine movie. It was movie during the the strike I felt bad for. Mostly for the kids.

It’s crazy how polarizing Mutant Mayhem is for TMNT for TMNT fans, they either love it or hate it

Your X bit got me teared up. I see it now too.

Go into bad teacher expecting an awful movie and be pleasantly surprised. It’s better then it has any right to be but is a lot of fun.

"I hope Mentor Notices Me" is a wonderful achievement name

Nando, please start adding chapters to these videos

Hey can you make a list of all the movies in the comments?

Watch x-men 97 if you haven’t

I for sure thought you were gonna bring up Rye Lane when talking about low budget comedies

You’ve sold me on TMNT.

She moonknights??? 😂

Have you seen Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 2? I feel like Dichen Lachman's Jiaying is kind of a decent adaptation of Magneto but for Inhumans

I'm so glad to see love for No Hard Feelings. Really underrated.

Probably my favorite comedy of 2023 was Joyride, it missed a lot of people's radar(mine as well but my gf wanted to see it) but it has easily some of the funniest moments I've seen in modern day comedies

John Wick 4 was EASILY my favorite of the year. My jaw was on the floor the entire movie, best action scenes I have seen in years. Also Godzilla minus one really is amazing!

is it weird that in that whole movie i kept thinking that matthew broderick was supposed to be jennifer lawrences father, but they cut that story from the movie? I mean it fits perfectly with her backstory, and his backstory at the end, basically he says it right out. and she says it when recounting her mother's tale of meeting her father.

Love your number one pick! I absolutely loved this movie! It's definitely the most underrated movie of the year by far. I've watched it 3 times, and every time, it feels like the first and can't help but smile throughout the whole movie.

My favorite line from No Hard Feelings is "you don't get to tell me what to do anymore! I'm the parents now!"

You know what they say, the best thing about the future is that it hasn’t happened yet. Edit: Uh oh I accidentally looked into the web and commented about the next video.

crazy how everyone interprets movie posters differently. i expected may december to be another one of those me too movies.

You get a thumbs up for making this list. You gotta watch minus 1, it’s great

Please, make a video rewriting Rebel Moon. 😊

Yes theater camp! Funniest movie of last year

Your list rules no kidding

Yes another Mother! lover thank you Nando

Bit late for 2023 no nando

So The Pope’s Exorcist is Malignant? I’m hooked!

here's my IMDB review of the TMNT movie (9/10): *Do yourself a favor and see this in 3D if you can* What a total surprise, the 3D was outstanding and popped more than usual. The characters and art assets looked fully rounded out, there was a lot of effort put into framing the foreground and background elements to give them a lot of depth. I grew up collecting the original graphic novels and watching the show, but every franchise project afterward merely felt derivative and did nothing for me. Tonight, I started with low expectations, but decided to give it a chance as I felt like watching a new 3D animated film on my VR headset. I'm glad to see the Spiderverse urban influence feeling appropriate, as though giving the artists the architecture and vocabulary for this movie to exist.

Nando is a little too raph

I pooped

First

No chapters? Clicks dislike

I don’t understand the love of mutant mayhem. They got Splinter wrong, just like in Rise. And to pair him with scumbug? What? And then the last minute change scumbug’s gender to soften it or whatever, is also weird. 2012 remains the best TMNT in my eyes.

Surprised there was no mention of Dungeons and Dragons, but thank you for putting No Hard Feelings on my radar! It sounds like a blast!
