AngelinaJolie

She made us start a whole miniseries. The least we could do is wish her a happy birthday.

Angelina Jolie turns 50 today and we have now rewatched three of her 2000s action films in her honor. Gone in 60 Seconds. Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. The Cradle of Life. The conclusion across all three episodes: whatever the movie around her is doing, she is doing something better.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith is still coming. Full video episodes are on Patreon now for members. Link in profile.

The Tomb Raider 2 problem in one sentence: it learned all the right lessons from Tomb Raider 1 and became worse for it.

Carson breaks down exactly what the first movie gets wrong structurally. No plot for the first half. Nothing happens. The MacGuffin shows up late. Basic screenwriting rules, ignored.

Full video on Patreon now.

Harmony's take in this clip is one of the most honest things said on this podcast

She got upset when Lola Bunny's design changed in Space Jam 2. Not for the reason the internet got weird about it. Because she hates the idea that the only way to signal strength in a female character is to remove any visible evidence that the person is feminine

"It's not Lara Croft's fault. It's society's view on characters like this. And it just kinda sucks"
