MOVIE REVIEW: Artemis Fowl
What's better than starting your morning off with a nice cup of Joe and a brand new episode of The Oblivion Bar Podcast? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, SAY IT AGAIN HUH!
For episode zero zero niner, Chris and Aaron reflect on the passing of legendary comic book scribe Dennis O'Neil, TENET/Wonder Wonder 84' getting new release dates, and ALL the new information we have on the release of the Playstation 5 (it's a lot).
The only thing more FOWL than ARTEMIS is his 2020 film adaptation AM I RIGHT? No but seriously, it's not very good -- but what IS good is listening to two nerds discuss what went wrong with the film at great length, then rating it out of five "David A. Weiners" at the end. Listen to the episode if you want to understand that weird inside joke.

Episode 6 is so dark & gritty, we'll need almost four hours to cover all the darkness & grittiness.
Not really. We did it in just over an hour, because we are concise. In this episode, Chris and Aaron discuss Avengers: Endgame losing in a Rotten Tomatoes summer blockbuster bracket to Revenge of the Sith, Warner Brothers needing 80% of movie theaters to open to release Christopher Nolan's TENET, Activision announces a remastered version of Tony Hawk Pro Skater, and The Snyder Cut of Justice League will FINALLY be released on HBO Max in 2021.
