For the record, I think Mitch and Nick's opinions are always based on flimsy rationale and their personal taste, combined with slavishly going along with whatever their guest says.

I don't understand why he has to like the new Star Wars. You guys realize that the Disney corporation doesn't need your stalwart defense right?

Star Wars is undeniably incredibly stupid, and making a compelling argument for disliking any of it is really easy

But instead Mitch will earnestly defend the dumbest, worst Star Wars movies while expressing incredulity that anyone could enjoy the newer, more broadly popular movies for reasons such as "there are no books in Star Wars"

yea I'm a huge SW nerd but there's tons of very fair things to go 'this is stupid' about. Mitch instead seems genuinely upset at the concept of 'people like that this exists' with no actual reason other than 'it's not the movies I like'

Mitch might have silly reasons to hate new Star Wars, but on the other hand his top movie list for 2017 didn't include Despicable Me 3. It's a wash.

Mitch is a sweet and impressionable baby man and Bug Mane is just a insane contrarian.

My favorite deep cut Doughboys bad movie opinion is when Bug Mane said Quantum of Solace was the best Bond movie because it stood alone and didn't worry about continuity with the other films. Quantum of Solace is a direct sequel to Casino Royal and is the only Bond movie to really address continuity at all (with the small exception of Spectre). It's an exquisitely crafted bad movie opinion and I love it.

I liked the gimmick of Quantum. It also has a few memorable quick moments like when Bond jumps over the railing in the hotel to avoid being spotted. On the other hand, I thought the hacker virus section of Skyfall was a complete joke.

Bug Mane has to be on this month to talk about Star Wars, right?

I don't mind Quantum personally, just that reasoning is complete nonsense. Also the pirates movies are needlessly convoluted because they're like true old timey pirate tales, which is definitely a true thing that's real.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation. I refuse to see Black Panther because they didn't ask the Black Ranger to be in it.
At least Bug mane goes all in on being a huge idiot rear end in a top hat. When Mitch talks Star Wars or movies in general he just gets pissy and humorless.

he complains about the science of the film, in the franchise where characters walked around on an asteroid in space wearing breathing masks

but yeah most of his complaints are that it's not the star wars from when he was a kid. tlj is pmuch a personal attack on 30-45 year old dudes who have too much invested in their "ownership" of star wars. i love mitch but he should look inward to figure out why he so mad that people like the star wars

I think Mitch hated TLJ mostly because Nick liked it.

I'm starting to kind of hate Mitch :( Not because I have any particular allegiance to SW (although I did enjoy TLJ) but I'm just getting really tired of his lame attempts to bully Nick. What was once a funny gimmick has just become a bummer.

In 1975 a man put down a copy of Frank Herbert's Dune and thought "What if I take this book for 12 year olds and make a movie for 7 year olds?" That mans name was George Lucas. 40 years later, a grown man is angry. Today on Doughboys, pissy Mitchy.

Also Mitch's current closest friends other than the Quincy maniacs appear to be Jack Allison, Armen and Bug Mane, and that is terrifying.
