ROBOCOP: ROGUE CITY looks fun and not particularly solemn. Honest Trailers went particularly easy on it, too, which is usually a good sign. Alas, I just don’t have the time to play it just now.

“The Worst Movies Ever” Honest Trailers.
Honest Trailers is taking the next couple of weeks off, so they’ve collected the ten worst movies they’ve ever reviews. …It’s pretty damn epic, in its way.
But, amazingly, it lacks a few movies that should have been on the list. Well, one at least. You’ll know which one.
The ‘How much Scotch did Screen Junkies drink?’ The Year 2023 Honest Trailer.
I’m not saying that Screen Junkies was blotto while making this. I’m just saying that it’s been a really alarming year for mainstream Hollywood movies, not to mention streaming services. The kind of alarming that would encourage people whose job depends on a functional entertainment industry to take a shot or two of hard booze, in order to numb the pain.
I know, I know: and nothing of value was lost. …But I like going to the movies, sorry. I always have. Not going to any during the pandemic bothered me in subtle ways. I’m gonna miss ’em, when they’re gone.
The OPPENHEIMER Honest Trailer.
It’s not bad, although I think Honest Trailers probably should have skipped the joke about the lack of Japanese/Native American viewpoints. Either would have frankly been irrelevant to the main thrust of OPPENHEIMER: worse, they would have felt irrelevant to the movie. If a director doesn’t want to put something into a film, sometimes it’s pragmatically good to just, well, accept that. Art is what it is, not what you want it to be.
Well, unless you’re the artist yourself. And sometimes, not even then.

The FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY’S Honest Trailer.
If I have to review the FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY’S Honest Trailer, then you get to sit through it, too. And I did have to review it. My youngest adores this franchise. I’ll likely see this damned movie at least five times.
The BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER Series Honest Trailer.
Come, I will conceal nothing from you. Joss Whedon is dead to me. BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER is not. I cannot fault Honest Trailers for tossing down some barbs on it, but… I watched the show every week, man. It was my thing.
PS: ‘Hush’ is only one of the three best episodes of BtVS. The other two are ‘The Body’ – and yes, ‘Once More, With Feeling,’ damn your eyes. I will die on this hill.

Honest Trailers does AHSOKA.
There were no survivors.
The BLUE BEETLE Honest Trailer.
Huh. Honest Trailers didn’t actually hate BLUE BEETLE. They were just more like fatigued about the whole run of superhero movies, like most of the movie-going public these days. Go figure.

The STARFIELD Honest Game Trailer.
It’s not harsh, but it’s probably fairer than Bethesda would like it to be.
The ONE PIECE Honest Trailer.
Apparently fans all over the world are bemused at the revelation that ONE PIECE, despite being the live-action adaptation of an anime, is not actually… bad? This is a startling development. One wonders if Netflix intended it to happen. Sure, there’s no reason for them to do it… but then: you could say the exact same thing about greenlighting the first live action version of AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER. Hollywood is weird, man.
