Zathura: A Space Adventure
Episode 31 – Zathura: A Space Adventure
A mysterious board game. A house in outer space. Killer robots. Zorgons. And a stranded astronaut who somehow makes all of this seem perfectly normal.
Zathura: A Space Adventure is one of those movies that's bursting with imagination, but somewhere between the meteors and the malfunctioning robot, it forgets that the biggest adventure should be happening between the characters. This week, we launch into the cosmos to figure out why this underrated family sci-fi adventure comes so close to greatness—and what story changes could have made it an instant clas...
Van Helsing
Episode 30: Van Helsing
This week, I Can Fix Your Movie loads up the crossbows, sharpens the stakes, and heads straight into Van Helsing—the 2004 blockbuster that asked, "What if we put Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, werewolves, Mr. Hyde, vampire brides, and Hugh Jackman in the same movie then mix it up and just see what happens?"
With an incredible cast, stunning production design, and one of the coolest premises ever put on screen, Van Helsing should have been the start of an unforgettable monster franchise. Instead, it became a two-hour sprint through enough CGI and plot tw...
Good Luck Have Fun Don't Die
Episode 29: Good Luck Have Fun Don’t Die
A film titled like a corrupted save file and paced like it’s being chased by its own plot, Good Luck Have Fun Don’t Die arrives on our screen already in need of immediate surgery…. and we actually really liked this film… but it needed some fixes.
In this episode, we unpack a story that introduces high stakes, then forgets where it parked them. Characters sprint through chaos with the confidence of people who definitely had a plan five minutes ago… we just never get to see it.
<...Fantastic Four (2015)
Episode #28 – Fantastic Four (2015)
What happens when four people gain incredible powers...and then forget to bring a finished screenplay with and ending?
This week on I Can Fix Your Movie, we suit up and tackle the 2015 reboot of Fantastic Four—a film that somehow made stretching look painful and turned one of comics’ most beloved teams into the cinematic equivalent of an awkward family reunion.
We dig into what went wrong, from the rushed pacing and undercooked characters to a villain who arrives so late he practically misses his own movie. Then we roll u...
Most Dangerous Game
Episode 27: Most Dangerous Game (2020)
What happens when a deadly manhunt, a stacked cast, and a killer premise somehow still miss the target? In Episode 27 of I Can Fix Your Movie, we step into the urban jungle of Most Dangerous Game and ask the important question: why does every hunter in this movie act like they’ve never played hide-and-seek before?
From wasted tension and rushed motivation to villains who needed way more bite, we break down exactly where the hunt went off the rails — and how we’d turn this great premise into a lean, mean s...
Wicked: For Good
Episode 26: Wicked: For Good
Our 50th Episode Spectacular!!!! What happens when one witch gets canceled, the other gets promoted, and absolutely everyone starts singing their trauma? This week on I Can Fix Your Movie, we celebrate our 50th episode by hopping aboard the broomstick for Wicked: For Good and asking the important questions: Can a sequel survive on pure emotional damage and high notes? Does Oz have a functioning legal system? And how many slow-motion cape turns are too many slow-motion cape turns?
We dive deep into the emerald-colored chaos, untangle the friendship drama, patch...
R.I.P.D. : Rest In Peace Department
Episode 25 – R.I.P.D.
Welcome to the afterlife… where the paperwork is endless, the CGI is questionable, and even Jeff Bridges cowboy hilarity can’t save this MIB wanna-be.
This week on I Can Fix Your Movie, we dig up R.I.P.D. — the supernatural buddy-cop movie that somehow took Ryan Reynolds, undead monsters, a killer premise, and a mountain of studio money… and still ended up legally classified as cinematic paranormal activity.
We break down where the movie flatlined, why the world building is all over the ghost dimension, and how this M...
Innerspace
Episode 24: Innerspace
This week, I Can Fix Your Movie shrinks itself down to microscopic size to tackle the gloriously chaotic 1987 sci-fi comedy classic Innerspace.
Join us as we dive headfirst into a movie that somehow combines miniaturized submarines, corporate espionage, Dennis Quaid’s maximum-80s energy, Martin Short having a full nervous breakdown, and science that appears to have been invented five minutes before filming started.
We break down what makes Innerspace such a weirdly lovable cult classic, what still works, what absolutely doesn’t, and how we’d fix the movie without accide...
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
Episode 23: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
What happens when you combine Allan Quatermain, Captain Nemo, Dracula’s ex-girlfriend, an invisible creep, Dr. Jekyll, Dorian Gray, Tom Sawyer for absolutely no reason, and Sean Connery giving 110% Scottish disappointment?
You get The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen — one of the most gloriously overstuffed action movies ever created.
In Episode 23 of I Can Fix Your Movie, we dive headfirst into the Literary Avengers fever dream that somehow managed to turn one of the coolest concepts ever into a cinematic train wreck. We break down what worked, what abso...
Lucy
Episode 22: Lucy
What if unlocking 100% of your brain still couldn’t unlock a better storyline?
This week on I Can Fix Your Movie, we plug into Lucy—the film that asked “what if humans used more of their brain?” and then immediately used none of it to explain the plot. From disappearing stakes to a finale that turns into a cosmic USB drive, we break down how a high-concept sci-fi thriller somehow outran its own logic at superhuman speed.
We keep the slick style, the wild ambition, but we add the heart and rebuild...
From the World of John Wick: Ballerina
Episode 21: From the World of John Wick: Ballerina
In a world where assassins have better posture than most of us, Ballerina pirouettes into the John Wick universe with grace, grit, and a blood soaked body count. This week, we lace up our pointe shoes and step into the chaos to break down what works, what wobbles, and what completely faceplants.
We dig into the film’s story, characters, and action (and there was a lot of it) to ask the big question: does this spin-off stick the landing, or does it miss the mark by a...
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
Episode 20: Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
What if the 16th President didn’t just free the slaves—but also staked the undead? In this blood-soaked and bizarre episode of I Can Fix Your Movie, we sink our teeth into Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, the genre-blending spectacle that dares to ask: “What if history had more axe wielding presidents and fewer facts?”
Join us as we dissect the film’s ambitious premise, celebrate its over-the-top action, and tackle the narrative missteps that kept it from becoming a true cult classic. From sharpening Lincoln’s emotional arc to reworking th...
Mercy
Episode 19: Mercy
This week on I Can Fix Your Movie, we dive into Mercy (2026)—a film packed with emotional stakes, moral dilemmas, and just enough chaos to keep things interesting… but not always coherent. Beneath its intense premise lies a story that almost lands a powerful message about justice, sacrifice, and what it truly means to show mercy—but “almost” is kind of our thing.
We break down what the film gets right (because there’s definitely some good in here), where it stumbles, and how a few key changes could transform it into something unforgettabl...
Anaconda (2025)
Episode 18: Anaconda (2025)
This week on I Can Fix Your Movie, we slither into the jungle with the 2025 reimagining of Anaconda—a film that had all the right ingredients for a pulse-pounding survival thriller but somehow drowns.
With a stacked cast, updated visuals, and a chance to reinvent a cult creature feature, this version aimed higher—but did it actually squeeze the tension tight enough? Or did it let the story slip away?
Join us as we break down where the film coils up nicely and where it completely constricts its own potential. From char...
Shazam!
Episode 17: Shazam!
What if getting the powers of a god still wasn’t enough to fix your movie? This week on I Can Fix Your Movie, we grab the wizard’s staff, yell “Shazam!” way too many times, and try to figure out how a film about a kid-turned-superhero somehow forgot to have a super powered storyline. The charm is there, the jokes (mostly) land—but we saw some serious missed opportunities hiding in plain sight.
So we ask the real questions: What if the emotional beats hit harder than a lightning bolt? And what if the fin...
Zootopia 2
Episode 16: Zootopia 2
This week on I Can Fix Your Movie, we return to the bustling, animal-filled metropolis of Zootopia—only this time, something feels... off. With high expectations following the original’s sharp storytelling and heartfelt themes, Zootopia 2 swings big but stumbles in all the wrong places.
Join us as we dig into where the sequel loses its footing—from muddled character arcs and missed emotional payoffs to a story that struggles to recapture the magic of Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde’s original journey. Was it a case of sequel overload, or just a story th...
Sky High
Episode 15: Sky High
This week on I Can Fix Your Movie, we take flight into the high-flying halls of Sky High! From clumsy plot twists to underused superpowers, we break down everything that kept this teen superhero flick from soaring. Why does the school hierarchy feel more like a cafeteria menu than a story? Which character moments flew right past the audience? And could one clever tweak have made this movie the ultimate superhero hit? Tune in as we dissect the good, the bad, and the awkwardly superpowered—and propose fixes that might just make Sky High re...
Raya and the Last Dragon
Episode 14: Raya and the Last Dragon
This week on I Can Fix Your Movie, we journey into the magical land of Kumandra with Raya and the Last Dragon. It’s got dragons, epic battles, and a noble quest to unite a broken world—basically everything you need for a slam-dunk fantasy classiC... and yet somehow, it still manages to trip over its own tail and turn to stone.
Join us as we break down what went wrong—from story choices that zig when they should zag, to characters who deserved way more time to actually be cha...
The Wolfman (2010)
Episode 13: The Wolfman (2010)
This week on I Can Fix Your Movie, we sharpen the claws and sink our teeth into the 2010 remake of The Wolfman. With gothic castles, ominous full moons, and one of horror’s most iconic monsters, this movie had all the ingredients for a classic… but somehow ended up more “arf” than “AWWOOO.”
Join us as we track down what went wrong—from story choices that wander off into the woods to character moments that never quite transform—and pitch our fixes to turn it into the thrilling, tragic werewolf tale it should have been...
The Dukes of Hazzard
Episode 12: The Dukes of Hazzard
Yeehaw! This week on I Can Fix Your Movie, we take a ride down the dusty backroads of Hazzard County to look under the hood of the big-screen adaptation of The Dukes of Hazzard. What happens when a beloved TV classic known for its charm, car chases, and good-ol’-boy mischief gets turned into a modern comedy loaded with bigger stunts, louder jokes, and a very different tone?
We break down what made the original concept so fun in the first place—the rebellious spirit of Bo and Luke Duke, the...
X-Men: The Last Stand
Episode 11: X-Men: The Last Stand
Mutants, mayhem, and missed opportunities! In Episode 11 of I Can Fix Your Movie, we dive deep into X-Men: The Last Stand to uncover why the cure for mutation left fans scratching their heads, Professor X’s fate felt all wrong, and what could have made the final act truly epic. Join us as we break down the story, the characters, and the chaos, then pitch our fixes to turn this cinematic misstep into the mutant masterpiece it could have been. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or a curious newcomer, this episode is p...
Tomorrowland
Episode 12: Tomorrowland
In this episode of I Can Fix Your Movie, we dive into the ambitious but messy world of Tomorrowland and break down where the film lost its way. Tomorrowland had everything going for it—visionary ideas, a legendary director, and a mystery box full of futuristic promise. So how did a movie about optimism feel so… confusing?
From the overstuffed mystery to the late-arriving answers and a world that somehow feels both huge and underdeveloped, we explore the core problems that kept the film from soaring. But don’t worry—we’re not here just...
Incredibles 2
Episode 9: Incredibles 2
This week on I Can Fix Your Movie, we’re suiting up to tackle Incredibles 2—a sequel that looks incredible, moves fast, and somehow still trips over its own cape. We break down why the original felt lightning-in-a-bottle, why the follow-up plays it a little too safe, and copied the original. How a few bold story pivots could’ve turned a good sequel reboot into an all-time great.
From shifting the spotlight back to the character building, to fixing the villain problem, to giving the family conflict real teeth again, we pitch smarter stakes...
Running Man (2025)
Episode 8: The Running Man (2025)
What if the future’s deadliest game show was just one (or two) rewrites away from becoming a sci-fi classic?
In Episode 8 of I Can Fix Your Movie, we strap in and sprint straight into The Running Man — the dystopian action spectacle packed with killer concepts, unforgettable villains, and one of the most iconic premises of the ‘80s. So why doesn’t it fully stick the landing?
This week, we break down how the film’s satire could have cut deeper, how the world-building could have raised the stakes, and how sh...
Baywatch
Episode 7: Baywatch
Slow motion runs. Big stars. Bigger muscles. And somehow… no splash.
In Episode 7 of I Can Fix Your Movie, we head to the beach to rescue Baywatch from its tonal riptide. The 2017 reboot had the charisma, the cast, and the built-in brand recognition — but it never figured out if it wanted to be a hard-R comedy, an action parody, or a legacy sequel with heart. So we grab the whistle and dive in.
This week, we break down what went wrong with the film’s tone, why the villain felt stranded in sha...
Eternals
Episode 6: Eternals
Did Marvel’s most ambitious cosmic epic collapse under its own weight?
In Episode 6 of I Can Fix Your Movie, we tackle Eternals—the scale, the mythology, the massive ensemble—and why it never quite came together. Then we rebuild it with a sharper focus, stronger emotional stakes, and a clearer central conflict that could have turned it into a true MCU powerhouse.
If you felt like Eternals had all the pieces but no pulse, this is the fix you’ve been waiting for.
The Mummy (2017)
Episode 5: The Mummy (2017)
In Episode 5 of I Can Fix Your Movie we dig into 2017’s The Mummy—a blockbuster packed with ancient curses, monster mayhem, and franchise ambitions that were bigger than the movie itself. The Dark Universe was supposed to rise… instead, it face-planted. From tonal chaos and wasted characters to a universe that launches before it earns its takeoff, we unearth exactly where this reboot went wrong. But we don’t just break it—we fix it. We rework the mythology, sharpen the character arcs, rethink the villain, and redesign the story so the film becomes th...
Cowboys & Aliens
Episode 4: Cowboys & Aliens
What happens when a dusty Western crashes headfirst into a sci-fi invasion… and nobody double-checks the landing? This week on I Can Fix Your Movie, we holster up and head to the desert to take on Cowboys & Aliens—a movie with a title so bold it almost fixes itself. Almost. We break down why the mash-up never fully clicks, dig into wasted character potential, muddy rules, and a villain problem that’s literally out of this world. Then we do what we do best: fix it—tightening the stakes, sharpening the characters, clarifying the aliens’...
The Sorcerer's Apprentice
Episode 3: The Sorcerer's Apprentice
In this weeks episode of I Can Fix Your Movie, we dive headfirst into the 2010 Nicolas Cage fantasy that almost worked. From confused rules of magic and undercooked villains to a protagonist who never quite earns his wizard hat, we break down where the film misfires—and exactly how it could’ve been a modern classic.
What if the magic system actually made sense? What if the mentor-student relationship had real emotional stakes? And what if the movie fully embraced the wonder it keeps teasing?
Grab your grimoires and ligh...
Kubo and the Two Strings
Episode 2: Kubo and the Two Strings
This week, we take on Kubo and the Two Strings, a visually stunning stop-motion masterpiece that somehow still feels like it’s holding one string too tight. The animation is breathtaking, the mythology is "interesting", and the emotional core is almost devastating—but “almost” is doing a lot of work here. We break down where the story pulls its punches, why the villains feel more symbolic than threatening, and how the film’s themes of memory, family, and storytelling never quite crescendo the way they should.
Then, as always, we fix it...
Assassin's Creed
Episode 1: Assassin’s Creed
Parkour. Hoods. Hidden blades. A billion years of lore… and somehow still confusing.
In the premiere episode of I Can Fix Your Movie- Season 2, we leap headfirst into Assassin’s Creed—the video-game juggernaut that tried to turn genetic memory into a blockbuster and maybe forgot to make it fun. Why does the Animus feel like homework? Who are we actually supposed to care about? And how did a movie with assassins, secret wars, and Michael Fassbender end up feeling so… stiff?
This week, we break down what went wrong, wha...
One Fix Wonders (Mission Impossible, Fall Guy, Bullet Train, Wicked, The Family Man)
Episode 24: One Fix Wonders
This is the episode dedicated to films that didn’t need a full rewrite… just one perfectly placed tweak. From high-stakes espionage in Mission: Impossible, to stunt-fueled chaos in The Fall Guy, musical magic in Wicked, holiday soul-searching in The Family Man, and breakneck mayhem aboard Bullet Train, we pinpoint the single change that could’ve taken each movie from good to chef’s-kiss great.
It’s fast, it’s fun, and it proves that sometimes the smallest fix makes the biggest difference. Hit play, argue with us (or agree), and decide for y...
Red One
Episode 23: Red One
Christmas came early… and then immediately needed a rewrite. This week on I Can Fix Your Movie, we crack open Red One, the holiday action blockbuster that somehow has gods, mercenaries, mythological creatures, and yet still forgets to explain why any of this is happening. We tackle the movie’s biggest problem—muddy motivations, confused mythology, and a villain who feels like she wandered in from a different script—and deliver one clean fix that turns festive chaos into a sleigh-ready story. Is Red One coal in the stocking or a diamond buried under CGI snow...
The A-Team
Episode 22: The A-Team
In this episode of I Can Fix Your Movie we lock and load as we take on The A-Team — a movie that explodes first, asks questions never, and somehow still forgets the plan. We love the vibes, the cast, and the slow-mo running… but even Hannibal would admit the mission went a little sideways. This week, we break down what works, what absolutely doesn’t, and how a few smart fixes could turn chaos into a perfectly executed scheme. Bigger stakes, clearer villains, tighter plans, and yes — fewer physics-defying tank moments (okay, maybe just slightly...
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
Episode 21: Prince of Persia- The Sands of Time
In this week’s episode of I Can Fix Your Movie, we dive into Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time—the blockbuster that tried to turn parkour, prophecy, and magical sand into the next great franchise… and somehow still ran out of momentum.
We break down what worked, what definitely didn’t, and how a story built on rewinding time ended up needing a full cinematic reset. Then we rebuild it the way it always should’ve played: sharper character arcs, a cleaner mythology, and action sequences...
Madame Web
Episode 20: Madame Web
In this episode, we stare deep into the spider-silk chaos that is Madame Web — a movie that somehow manages to see the future but not its own plot holes. From badly motivated villains to dialogue that feels like a first draft, we untangle the mess and re-spin the web into something actually worth watching. Expect smarter stakes, sharper characters, and a version of Madame Web that finally sticks the landing. Listen now and see how we’d fix the film everyone forgot to care about.
The Great Wall
Episode 19: The Great Wall
Episode 19 marches straight up to The Great Wall—a movie that boldly asked, “What if Matt Damon saved ancient China… with the worst accent he's ever attempted on screen?” We dive head long into the siege of plot holes, the baffling character choices, and the mythical monster army that somehow still isn’t the strangest thing happening on screen.
Join us as we rebuild this film brick by brick: stronger heroes, smarter stakes, and fewer moments that make you question every creative decision involved. If the movie couldn’t defend itself, don’t worry—...
The Watch
Episode 18: The Watch
Aliens, small-town drama, and a squad of neighborhood watchmen trying to save the world… but did the movie actually deliver? In this episode, we break down The Watch, uncovering its biggest plot holes, missed comedic beats, and character moments that never landed. Then, true to form, we pitch clever, inspired fixes that could have turned this quirky comedy into a suburban sci-fi classic. Join us as we dissect the chaos, laugh at the absurdity, and imagine how the neighborhood watch could’ve actually saved the day.
Green Lantern
Episode 17: Green Lantern
Ryan Reynolds tried to bring the emerald energy to life… and instead gave us one of Hollywood’s brightest misfires. In this episode, we dive headfirst into the glowing mess that was Green Lantern (2011) — unpacking its wasted potential, overstuffed villains, and questionable CGI suits. Then we do what we do best: fix it. From rewriting Hal Jordan’s arc to grounding the cosmic chaos, we show how this could’ve been DC’s Iron Man moment instead of its cautionary tale.
Jungle Cruise
Episode 16: Jungle Cruise
All aboard! This week, we’re steering straight into Jungle Cruise — Disney’s wild attempt to turn another theme park ride into a blockbuster adventure. Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt have charm for miles, but can charisma alone keep this ship afloat? We chart the course through the film’s uneven waters, spot the hidden treasure beneath the clichés, and reveal how a few smart fixes could’ve turned this ride from forgettable to fantastic. Hop on deck and join us as we navigate the rapids of poor pacing, muddled mythology, and surprisingly undead conq...
