<p>And here's my review of The Naked Gun, starring Liam Neeson, Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser, Kevin Durand, and Danny Huston. It's directed by Akiva Schaffer and written by Dan Gregor, Doug Mand, and Akiva Schaffer. Hunter addresses the simple question of "is it funny," what makes its stupidity funnier than Adam Sandler's straight-to-Netflix stupidity, and the UFC's growing influence on film. 0:00 Intro0:29 Is it Funny?1:15 Jokes are Back2:26 Good Stupid and Bad Stupid3:51 Low on Celebrities and Modern SNL4:34 Liam Neeson4:51 UFC in CinemaTo support the Feature Underground, consider donating by hitting the Super Thanks button below the video.Follow this-a-way: X: (https://twitter.com/Lanierhunt64)Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/hunterlaniermoviereviews/)Tik Tok: (https://www.tiktok.com/@featureundergroun)Letterboxd: (https://letterboxd.com/HunterLanier/)#nakedgun #comedy #moviereview</p>

<p>And here's my review of Fanastic Four: First Steps. The film is directed by Matt Shakman and written by way too many people. Who held the pencil, who held the paper, and whose back did they use? It stars Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Joseph Quinn, Julia Garner, Natasha Lyonne, Paul Walter Hauser, and Ralph Ineson. Hunter discusses the film's embracing of Jack Kirby's art, what the film means to a lapsed MCU fan, and why its fast pace is an issue. 0:00 Intro0:24 F4 to the Lapsed MCU Fan1:53 What is a Starnold?3:58 Embracing Jack Kirby6:09 Too Fast-Paced8:05 Overcorrecting for Origin Story Fatigue9:49 Missing the MCU Magic#fantasticfour #mcu #moviereview</p>
