Movies We Watched On The Plane - Do You Even Binge? Ep 51
We went on vacation this week and binged on the plane! This week, we are breaking down four wildly different films we caught while in flight, ranging from reality-bending indie sci-fi to chaotic, unhinged comedies and a historical biopic that left us wishing for a documentary instead.
The Lineup:
Redux Redux: A mind-melting sci-fi thriller about a mother fracturing reality and jumping through the multiverse to track down and repeatedly execute the man who killed her daughter.
Operation Taco Gary’s: A chaotic, conspiracy-fueled comedy where an off-the-meds brother drags his sibling on a wild road trip involving squid people metropolis theories, gun-safety mishaps, and an official welcome to a very strange establishment.
Sarah’s Oil: The 2025 adaptation inspired by the incredible true story of Sarah Rector, who became one of the nation's first female African American millionaires at just eleven years old.
Balls Up: A rowdy, chaotic comedy starring Mark Wahlberg and Benjamin Bratt as corporate outcasts who accidentally tank a high stakes marketing campaign for a "unique" product, lose their jobs, and head to the World Cup anyway only to get tangled up with a dangerous cartel and a very bizarre character played by Sacha Baron Cohen.
Join us as we discuss:
Multiverse execution loops and the brutal reality of the timeline jumps in Redux Redux.
The sheer unhinged behavior of Operation Taco Gary’s, from stealing neighbor's Wi-Fi to checking gun safety by putting a barrel in your mouth.
Lesa’s take on Sarah's Oil, how a whimsical, lighthearted tone and a fictional "white savior" wildcatter played by Zachary Levi completely ruined an incredible piece of history.
The absolute escalation of Balls Up, featuring Sacha Baron Cohen's bizarre interrogation tactics ("Yaysh or neaow?"), a forced karaoke setup, and why Mark Wahlberg always gets dragged into these situations.
