My Date is a Killer Dragon Part 2

Published: April 23, 2021, noon

Welcome to Episode 29 Part 2 of our Podcast!!!

In today’s show, the Brothers selected three uniquely different movies to review.  Each host will lead the review on their film selection and inspire an in-depth discussion on the story, writing, direction, technicals, scenes, trivia, and more! 

As we begin this episode, we continue Arnaz's discussion of 2015's "Man Up" directed by Ben Palmer and Starring Lake Bell and Simon Pegg.  In this romantic comedy, just when Nancy (Bell) has given up on love, Jack (Pegg) mistake’s her for his blind date.  The evening that follows is not at all what they both had in mind.   

In our final movie review of the episode, we dive into Del's pick, "Raya and the Last Dragon” (2020) directed by Don Hall and Carlos Estrada and starring Kelly Marie Tran, Awkwafina, and Gemma Chan.  Raya (Tran) begins a quest to find the last dragon, Sisu (Awkwafina), with hopes of defeating the Druun, freeing her father, and uniting the lands of Kumandra.

As this is a review show, there will be spoilers, especially for a film from 2015. 

We hope you enjoy our discussion on these three films.  Hit us up on our social media to let us know your thoughts about these films and if you feel we missed any important talking points.  Hopefully, for those of you still on the fence about a particular movie, these reviews will help you navigate the streamers.  Ending each film with our patented 3P rating system, let's dive in!
