Plot[]
Inundated with work throughout the New Year, Mike and Jay have forgotten that January has arrived with a slew of new and terrible movies. To celebrate the month, they decide to watch and discuss the worst reviewed of these movies, The Legend of Hercules, along with a new Spike Jonze film, Her.
After the discussion, Mr. Plinkett's lawyer calls about scheduling a meeting with Plinkett to disburse the settlement from the City of Milwaukee. Unfortunately for the duo, Plinkett is rapidly decomposing in their shop. Luckily, Mike concocts a plan to pull off a Weekend at Bernie's II.
Summary and Review[]
“ The Legend of Hercules is the new film by veteran director, Renny Harlin. It stars many other people playing different roles. All of these statements are true. Hercules must use all of his mighty strength to rip off Gladiator, 300, as well as many other films. Does Hercules have the strength to defeat his enemies and save the day? Well, with a RottenTomatoes score of 3%, I would say no. —Mike Stoklasa”
“ Her is the latest quirky movie from that oddball filmmaker, Spike Jonze. In this one, Joaquin Phoenix plays an eccentric weirdo whose life gets turned upside down when—get this—he falls in love with his computer! Where will this unconventional love story go and what will his friends and coworkers think of his wacky but heartfelt romance? —Jay Bauman”
