The Future
Wondering what’s coming up next? Here’s the next batch of movies we’ll be tackling in upcoming episodes. Consider them your Contrarians Homework!
Not Burton Forever though.
Episode 239 (6/10) - Batman Forever
A Batman movie that actually dares to have fun? That was a concept unheard of since the 60s! Of course, it’s rotten according to the Tomatometer, but the 1996 MTV Movie Awards knew what was up and rewarded the movie with nominations for its villains, its desirable stars, and its songs.
Episode 240 (6/20) - Romeo + Juliet
It’s actually Baz Luhrmann’s William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet, and if you’re not rolling your eyes yet, just wait until we start picking apart this modern take on the original dumb-teens-in-love story.
Claire Danes won the MTV Movie Award for Best Performance by an Actress though.
So many candles. Must mean something.
No, not the Netflix TV show.
Episode 241 (6/30) - The Bodyguard
Winner of the MTV Movie Award for Best Song, The Bodyguard earned a place in pop culture that transcended the 90s, even when you consider its rotten Tomatometer score. We will always love it.
