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.
I, too, loved Mutant Mayhem. I think the changes to Splinter’s character were wonderful. The TMNT franchise can survive reinventions to its characters in ways that other franchises don’t. The soundtrack of it was also absolutely banging. The second I heard Ante Up, I knew this film was going to try something new.
And speaking of mid budget comedies that people aren't really talking about, the guys that made DnD also made Game Night (not from 2023) that was hilarious!
I came here to say this. Especially with criticizing some truly fantastic costuming work. They got worse later on, but the costumes from that movie were and are a marvel of technology and performance art.
I don't understand the point you are trying to make. The turtles have an abysmal track record movie wise until this one. That is exactly what he is saying
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.
"It was on the box when I got Pizza Hut" is the single best AND the single most 90's way of being made aware of a TMNT movie, and nobody can convince me otherwise. 🤣
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.
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
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.
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)
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
May December was 100% snubbed. Portman and Melton should have been nominated. Portman's performance where she slowly mirrors Gracies mannerisms is creepy!
It's gotta be an editing mistake. Nando isn't always right, and I sure don't always agree with him, but *intentionally* calling the original 1990 costumes bad? That would be so bafflingly ignorant as to put his credibility into doubt. The second and third movies had lackluster costumes but that first one was JHCW's best work to date.
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
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.
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.
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.
@@TheEvilCheesecake not a soul. Disliked the design as soon as it was revealed and a simple summary of his actions in the film Seth Rogan’s comments about parenting made it clear this one wasn’t for me, or my kids. Splinter as a devoted Dad is a key element of the TMNT and that’s not an angle Rogan understands and there was no need to make him look so goofy.
If you don't like Rise Splinter at first, I suggest power through the first few episodes* as he definitely gets better over time * or if you don't care about spoilers, I can just tell you what happens
Your X-Men Parallel to TMNT is a solid point.
I mean... there's a pretty obvious reason they're similar.
Still waiting on that Fantastic 4 pitch Nando!
Yes !! Have your thoughts changed on who might be cast or do you have anyone new
And the X-Men pitch
And the mcu X-Men pitch
@@Lagi_zz am I taking crazy pills? Haven't they announced pretty much the entire cast already?
@@OG_Agrivar no your not crazy LOL, it’s just cuz Nando has made like 3 casting videos on fantastic four, we’re just yanking his chain haha

Was hoping you would talk about Dungeons and Dragons
Seriously, that movie is so slept on.
Absolutely
And speaking of mid budget comedies that people aren't really talking about, the guys that made DnD also made Game Night (not from 2023) that was hilarious!
I should have mentioned it but I did talk about DnD this year already in my Who should direct the first MCU X-Men movie video.
"The turtles have an abysmal track record" *shows clips from far and away the best turtles movie*
I’d definitely say mid track record tho. I think they go 4 out of 6

@@TheTransitmtlit was a bad edit, the point he’s making is mostly correct but the choice of images doesn’t fit that point.
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.
Blackberry was such a sleeper hit for me, I ended up watching that movie 3 times the week it came out
TMNTMM goes hard af. It's like claymation and a teenager's doodles mixed together.
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.
Except that movie's pretty dull with childish jokes, inconsistent animation, and everyone except Lloyd and his father being flat and one-dimensional
I only knew about Mutant Mayhem because it was on the box when I got Pizza Hut, but it was amazing!

Whoa he really v movie-ing now

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.
It's basically an impression of Con the Fruiterer, who's a comedy character from a Greek-Australian sketch show in the 80s/90s.
Dude the old TMNT movie is FANTASTIC, it is literally the opposite of "bad costumes"
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)
Yeah SLP feels like more of a Dramedy than a Rom Com but it's definitely closer than most of her work.
This video is fantastic because you gave me great reasons to watch movies I would have otherwise ignored. Future date nights coming up!
Your X bit got me teared up. I see it now too.
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.

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

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.
Bro beefing with ayo
"I hope Mentor Notices Me" is a wonderful achievement name
After watching so many Mostly Nitpicking...absolutely not surprised that Popes Exorcist is on this list
It’s crazy how polarizing Mutant Mayhem is for TMNT for TMNT fans, they either love it or hate it
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!
I for sure thought you were gonna bring up Rye Lane when talking about low budget comedies
I'm so glad to see love for No Hard Feelings. Really underrated.
May December was 100% snubbed. Portman and Melton should have been nominated. Portman's performance where she slowly mirrors Gracies mannerisms is creepy!
crazy how everyone interprets movie posters differently. i expected may december to be another one of those me too movies.
You’ve sold me on TMNT.
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
Calling the 1990 tmnt costumes horrible is a horrible take but glad u enjoyed mm! Great vid as always dude
It's gotta be an editing mistake. Nando isn't always right, and I sure don't always agree with him, but *intentionally* calling the original 1990 costumes bad?

@23:40
I will not stand for this 'Days of Future Past' erasure!
Hey can you make a list of all the movies in the comments?
I was tearing up and then at 26:18 I was like "we got lost the race allegory sauce'
For context by that point I was done stank face and snapped out😂
Your list rules no kidding
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
Yes another Mother! lover thank you Nando
You get a thumbs up for making this list. You gotta watch minus 1, it’s great
Yes theater camp! Funniest movie of last year
So The Pope’s Exorcist is Malignant? I’m hooked!
Kind of. It's not quite as wacky but it's the same kind of good time.
Bit late for 2023 no nando
Nando, please start adding chapters to these videos
Please, make a video rewriting Rebel Moon. 😊
You need to watch Minus one bro. This list will change after you do
Will it? Because he said that all of the movies everyone has talked about a bunch are not on this list.
Im a firefighter and i endorse this message.

here's my IMDB review of the TMNT movie (9/10):
*Do yourself a favor and see this in 3D if you can*

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.
While I thought TMNT was just a fine movie. It was movie during the the strike I felt bad for. Mostly for the kids.
She moonknights??? 😂
Watch x-men 97 if you haven’t
I pooped
See a doctor.

No chapters? Clicks dislike
