I Have Some Notes
Join Liam Creswick, Gregg Beever, and Scott C. Bourgeois as they examine Hollywood’s most mediocre movies and attempt to rewrite a better film. How could the Man of Steel be less of a Man of Heel? What could Ghostbusters II have done to make bustin’ feel good again? What could have made Star Trek: Generations a film for a…generation? All these answers and more on I HAVE SOME NOTES!

Were the people clamouring for an Anaconda remake? No. Certainly not. What about meta spoof where an A-list cast of comedians are the ones doing the remaking? Getting warmer? Luke warm, perhaps?
Unfortunately this comedy is exactly that. There's no biting satire of Hollywood, no piss taken out of soulless executives defanging art in the name of capitalism. Rather, Anaconda is a tepid comedy with a memorable bit or two and not much ...
Boy, does it feel good to be watching mediocre movies again! The summer was filled with mythic epics and elevated horror, but that's over now and it's time to fix some super hero slop.
Kara Zor-el gets done dirty again by Hollywood, this time whiffing in real obvious ways that could have easily been avoided. It's the second time we've opened a season with a Supergirl movie, and we wish desperately for this character to one day get ...
Season 11 comes to an end with Disclosure Day! That's right, we paid our money, ate our butter dusted popcorn and watched a brand new movie for you. Was it good? Kind of! And that is just the kind of movie that is perfect for the show.
Liam, Scott and Gregg have a lively discussion about what worked and what didn't in Spielberg's latest alien romp and how we could fix the missing connections between key characters.
Thanks again for...
Kumite! Kumite! Kumite! David Rae of Quantum Kickflip returns to the show to Dux it out with Bloodsport. Together we cast aside an unnecessary military subplot and while making the Tanaka family ties to the fighting tournament much more explicit.
Oh, and we also unpack the many lies of Frank Dux! Thanks for listening, and make sure to check out Season 4 of QK over at quantumkickflip.com!
Quantum Kickflip's Robyn Slack returns to take a pass at another lukewarm script: The Simpsons Movie. The cast was sharply divided on whether Homer's first ride on the big screen had any comedic worth, but we did agree the plot needed a lot of work.
Many set pieces hit the cutting room floor including the Simpson family's trip to Alaska. We'd pitched ways to get the town of Springfield more involved, and brought back a familiar rak...
Okay, The World Is Not Enough is uneven. And yes, it's bland. And sure, the cold open is 10 minutes too long and ends with a hot air balloon ride. But, hey, Shirley Manson sings the Bond theme, and that kicks ass.
This Brosnan blockbuster had a great many things go wrong with it, so we couldn't just gently stir in some plot beats. No, the whole thing needed to be shaken. I promise the episode is better than these puns!
Video game adaptations have always been dodgy, but I dare say Resident Evil (2002) is among the dodgiest. Vacant of gory R-rated fun and unoccupied by characters of the slimmest depth, the only true resident seems to be an obnoxious soundtrack.
In other words, this movie is speaking our language. We completely overhaul the film's opening to both drive the mystery and bring the motivations of the main characters into view. The...
This episode is a bit of a unicorn in and of itself, as we struggle to come to a consensus on a cohesive new pitch for Death of a Unicorn. Plenty of interesting ideas get debated, however, as we attempt to add more bite to the satire, as well as the featured creatures.
Let us know who's pitch you liked the most and why it was Gregg's.
A little bonus/gap filler episode for you this week in the form of movie/TV recommendations. We may or may not have recorded this some time ago, back when Fallout's second season had just dropped. Still, there are some gems in here that can help bust the endless Netflix scrolling cycle.
See you in two weeks for a full episode!
Jack Quaid may not feel pain in Novocaine, but we did. You'd think after nearly ten years of consuming the most mediocre films Hollywood can disk we'd be somewhat numb by now, but no.
Though, truth be told, Novocaine is a pretty fun high-concept action thriller. You've got a charming young actor and a premise that invites all kind of bloody mayhem. But, as always, we find a way to Monday Morning Screenwriter this into something tha...
Having been burned back in the 90s with one of the most infamously bad movie adaptations in history, Nintendo clearly had a one word mandate for The Super Mario Bros. Movie: safe. Make every safe decision you can, don't do anything interesting or take any kind of risk that could reflect poorly on the brand.
And hey, it worked. Super Mario Bros. made all the money and kids loved it. But, what if the Nintendo made SOME choices, and t...
Nic Cage stashes his bags in the overhead bin and settles in for his second round of IHSN punch-ups. This was a really fun one as we got to play with a long manifest of colourful characters in a brainless action setting. Steve Buscemi in particular gets an elevated roll in our reimagined pitch. Listen in and then join us on our Discord channel to continue the conversation! See you there.
For those old enough to be big Troma fans, The Toxic Avenger undoubtedly holds a special place in their hearts. When the remake was released in 2023 those hearts ceased to by mutated by radioactive sludge, instead slathered in the thick, inescapable goo of nostalgia. It comes for us all, my friends.
But honestly, this remake was pretty good. Peter Dinklage mops it out of the park as Winston/the voice of Toxie, serving up plenty of ...
The Ghostbusters are back, cleaning up the town! The gang is all here: Ray, Winston, Venkman, Janine…Pheobe, Callie, Trevor, Gary, Lucky…uh, Podcast. Postcast is here. Walter Peck. Oh! The library administrator. You remember the library administrator, he's the guy that says "what has that got to do with it?" Classic.
Yes, it's a nostalgia romp like no other, which makes it oh so hard to believe it didn't work out, doe...
We watched a ton of GOOD movies in 2025, and we're going to talk about them! That's right, we do, on occasion, watch films that don't stink and don't require page one rewrites. We sat down for our annual chat about the most engaging and inspiring movies we saw in the last 12 months. Enjoy!
For those who like to skip around, here's the time stamps for the episode:

Everyone has wanted to see Santa do a Diehard, right? Of course! He's the most wholesome, selfless mythical character we've got, and we want to see him kill people. YAY, violence! Boo, children!
Violent Night is a solid romp, but doesn't quite hit the satirical notes it needs to become a classic. We pluck on the film's heart strings to maximize the fun in contrasting holiday cheer with righteous violence. As previously mentioned t...
I.S.S. has all the modules necessary for an epic sci-fi thriller, but if we're reviewing it you already know it doesn't all fit together as intended. We explore the possibility of a few deft edits and key moments that could makes this cold war allegory much more explosive.
We were all set to perform our usual punch-up on the 1983 cult classic Deathstalker, when we hit a snag: the movie sucked. And not in the typical way movies we watch for the show suck. Completely devoid of plot and characters of any notable intrigue, we decided to do something a little different.
As it turned out, an excellent Deathstalker remake was a week away from release, making our punch-up rather redundant when the real thing...
Final Reckoning may not end up being Ethan Hunts's last appearance, but as far as we're concerned, it's mission complete. There's only so much of the mega star's God complex we can take. Tom Cruise will just have to live without our Monday morning screenwriting, not that the blockbuster deity was asking.
On the plus side, David Rae from Quantum Kickflip returns to accept this last impossible mission. Or at least it seemed that way,...
This week we foist our brand of armchair screenwriting upon a slice of Canadiana, our country’s very first animated feature film, Rock & Rule. And how did that go for Canada? Well, we believe after making $38,000 at the box office 42 years ago it’s really gaining momentum.
Joining us is a rock star in his own right, JP Fournier of The Movie Jerks. Together we break down this interestingly flawed feature, workshoppin...
