Gene and Roger's criticism of Batman and Robin are exactly perfect. I was maybe 10 when it came out and...as Gene said of Clooney, the movie was "a good looking bore".
I was expecting them to absolutely crucify B&R. For once they actually downplayed how bad a movie was. I would've been one of the walkouts if I had seen it in the theatre.
You want a reminder of how the social landscape has changed look no further than 'My Best Friend's Wedding'. It might not deliver a cliche upbeat ending, but it's a flick where a woman tries to ruin a wedding for her own delusional benefit and somehow everyone comes out better for it at the end. It's still very much predictable Hollywood female entertainment.
Their heated argument over Hercules has to be one of the best arguments of this show, although to be perfectly honest I gotta side with Gene on Hercules, I didn’t even care for that film, it was overrated in the first place and in my own opinion, it’s about as less fun as Princess Diana’s funeral. 😆😆😆
Batman & Robin was terrible glad they voted Thumbs 👎. Hercules was an effective animated film, i loved James Woods as the voice of Haded he was terrific. My Best Friend's Wedding was an effective romantic comedy, i liked Julia Roberts, Dermot Mulroney & Cameron Diaz's performances
Agree with you there about Hercules, I never understood the appeal of that film although the disagreement between Gene and Roger over the film was hilarious.
@@oldfashionedguy1368 they needed to write Hercules as seriously as they had The Hunchback of Notre Dame the year before that (1996). I have heard since then that there was a lot of tension at Disney at the time between Jeffrey Katzenberg, John Musker, and Ron Clements. That had to have had an effect on how jokey and disjointed Hercules is.
