Show Notes
This springs blockbusters, such as Ready or Not, They Will Kill You, and Project Hail Mary, are criticized for their forced, self-satisfied humor. These films, featuring tough women battling rich Satan worshippers, rely on profanity, ironic tunes, and lazy one-liners, often leaning on Ryan Goslings quippy chats for charm. The humor, while not full-fledged comedies, is crammed into action, horror, and sci-fi genres, resulting in a phony vibe that critics call out. The influence of Joss Whedon, Quentin Tarantino, Shane Black, and Deadpool is evident, but the lack of genuine comedy and the trend of action directors trying humor theyre not great at is concerning.
