"Bodies Bodies Bodies" Makes a Strong Case For Dragging Your Audience For Filth

Stay woke! Today, we're unpacking the perfect storm of "Bodies Bodies Bodies."

Content Warning: Bodies Bodies Bodies contains violent imagery, drug use, sexual dialogue, and tons of Gen Z (and Millennial) shade. Viewer discretion is advised.  Spoilers for Bodies Bodies Bodies ahead!  By now it should come as no surprise that I love satire. As long as it knows its audience well and isn’t afraid to make a few people mad because they see themselves in the material. Bonus…

📽️ Set It Up (2018)

This is such a fun movie. The chemistry between the two main characters is fantastic, and they’re both so much fun. I love an enemies-to-lovers plot (this is sort of one), and this had the added element of growing closer while working together. It’s not a movie to be taken too seriously; it’s supposed to just be fun. It’s very easy to enjoy.

Sex/nudity: 3/10 (no real nudity or sex scenes, but there is a LOT of sexual talk and innuendoes)

Language: 6/10 (two f-words, three c-words, many uses of sh*t, other words scattered throughout)

Violence: 0/10 (I don’t believe there is any)

Overall rating: 7/10

Tyson and Pete.

The way Pete Davidson keeps giggling to himself all through the "Alive From New York" special both makes me laugh and gives me a warm, sweet and fuzzy feeling in my heart

DUMB MONEY (2023) Grade: C+

Not as much charm as the #BigShort or #WolfonWallStreet comparably. Still strong, with skilled actors in almost every role. #PaulDano and #VincentDOnofrio are underrated comic actors. It was missing something though. Someone from GameStops POV would had been interesting.

I love it when stand-up comedians mention each other in their specials. What is this, a crossover episode?

Dumb Money (2023) Review

Does anyone else think that Seth Rogen looks like a cuddlier version of David Boreanaz? Angel's stoner brother? No? Anyone? Alright then, just me as always.

Plot: Everyday people flip the script on Wall Street and get rich by turning GameStop into one of the world's hottest companies. In the middle of everything is Keith Gill, a regular guy who starts it all by sinking his life savings into the stock. When his social media posts start blowing up, so does his life and the lives of everyone following him. As a stock tip becomes a movement, everyone gets wealthy -- until the billionaires fight back and both sides find their worlds turned upside down.

Looking back at the COVID pandemic, now it seems so strange that that time even happened. A time of dread and uncertainty, now almost feels like a 2-year blip, where things were off but then all of a sudden we have returned to normal. Doesn't seem real. Think of Thanos snapping his fingers and dusting half the world's population away for 5 years and then they all come back and it's back to regular hijinks. Regardless, the pandemic lockdowns were crappy, but one of the few glimmers of hope and goodness came from that whole GameStop stock event when a bunch of Redditors and online geeks managed to take down multiple Wall Street hedge funds that were originally gaining money from other's people's losses. Reading about it on the news was absolutely mad, and naturally, now we have a movie about it.

If you're looking for a factual detailed behind-the-scenes depiction of what occurred, and also if you're seeking out a lesson in finance, Dumb Money isn't that type of movie. I'm sure there is a Netflix documentary out there that delves deeper into the ins and outs of it all, as for this movie, this is very much a classic David vs. Goliath tale of regular people sticking it to the man. The combination of winning personalities and a mind-blowing reality makes for a very entertaining film, if not profound, yet this is a prime example of a crowd-pleaser. And to be fair, with all the politicians, tech firms, and media that get sucked into the events of the movie, it does seem like director Craig Gillespie has taken some creative liberties in inflating the revolutionary aspect of what was ultimately achieved, as even though the situation that transpired is undoubtedly absurd and the type of I-cannot-believe-this-really-happened situation, I feel the movie made it a bigger deal than it actually was. The over-dramatization is self-aware in this movie though, as the hedge-fund billionaires here are presented as very cartoon-villain-esque, with Pete Davidson's character even observing in-movie how the rich Wall Street joes seeming to have come straight out of a Disney animation.

It boasts a solid cast too, with Paul Dano showcasing yet again that he doesn't always need to play creepy dudes, and that in fact, he can be very likable and heartwarming. Though for those who have seen Okja that should not come as a surprise. Shailene Woodley as his wife shares good chemistry and the two performers commit to the meaning behind the meme-ry. Seth Rogen, Vincent D'Onofrio, Sebastian Stan, and Nick Offerman are fittingly slimy and evil as the Wall Street chaps, with America Ferrera and Anthony Ramos as some of the regular folk who managed to cash in on the action round out the cast well. Dane DeHaan pops in too as a company sales rep and is entertainingly unrecognizable. That being said, with this huge cast of characters there is, perhaps, a little too much bouncing around between stories, and not all the plot threads land powerfully. Pete Davidson as Gill’s layabout brother doesn’t add much, and America Ferrera as the nurse, as sweet as she is, doesn't really get much to do besides look at her phone all the time. Then again, who didn't spend hours upon hours staring at their phone during lockdown, am I riiiiiight??....

Gillespie’s directorial style is funky and fun, and he tailors his film to the subject matter. Again, it's nowhere as deep or clever as, say, The Big Short, however, it's an entertaining and empowering movie that showcases what can happen when people actually come together to show it to the man. Though could have done less with that brass language in the soundtrack. Nearly every scene was accompanied by some rap about f**ks and ducks. And yeah, I get it, Dano's character likes cats in this, but saying the word pussy seventy-five times isn't high-brow humour. Nonetheless, Dumb Money is an easy watch. Definitely the best choice between it and The Expendables. No shade. Now - let's go buy some stocks!!

Overall score: 6/10
