Bekkah:

Look, I am here for OG Salt Bae Jeff Goldblum as the silent Tricycle Man in an incredible sequin getup. But what the actual fuck is this movie?! Danya warned me that there were 24 main cast members. But we did not realize this movie was ALMOST THREE HOURS LONG so we actually had to split this between two weeks because, um, no one has time for that shit. Anyway, this movie had #OUTFITS but mostly everything else was terrible. Nothing made sense. Women continuously were treated as objects. Black people seemed to be in the benevolent savior trope at best. This was pegged as a “musical” but it was just a few songs that didn’t really drive the movie forward. For Jeff’s third IMDB credit, he totally stole the show. Everything else? Pass.

Danya:

So this movie advertises itself as containing 24 main characters and like, exemplifying the zeitgeist of america. So obviously Bekkah and I were already outmatched. WHAT HAPPENED IN THIS MOVIE? Lots of people sang songs, many rhinestone outfits were worn, a dude with chin length blonde hair slept with a parade of dark haired women, and Jeff did salt magic. Those are the highlights. We had to watch this over two weeks because it is SO MUCH movie (3 hours, what are you lord of the rings?!) and in that time Bekkah and I disagreed if Jeff actually spoke a single word out loud. He is very alluring, with his glasses seemingly made from cheetos and his delightful affectation of shaving surrounded by abandoned school busses, but he does not speak. Magic tricks? Yes. Words? No. This movie made me the most angry at the end, when people reacted VERY DIFFERENTLY than they should to something violent and horrible. Is this really the zeitgeist of America? I guess so.
