This time, Mel has tasked Adam with watching the underwritten, overhyped mess that is Frozen 2. To take it a step further, he watched both films in hopes of making any sense out of the debacle that is this ill-conceived sequel. Let’s just say, brains have been broken. The current state of Disney is discussed along with how Kristoff is done dirty, A…

Join Adam and Mel for a hate-watch for the ages.…

This time on the show Melanie has taken off to the beach and left Adam to his own devices.

The hyst…

This time on the show Adam recommended that Melanie watch 1999s The Mummy starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz. From CGI that didn’t hold up when this came out to the ridiculous use of super fast scarab beetles, let’s just say, Adam might have chosen poorly.
