“Because of previous failures like Catwoman and Elektra” That answer was always total BS. Those films weren’t bad cuz they starred female leads but because they were poorly executed

[@arthurcharlie2873]

X men dark phoenix, black widow, captain marvel, catwoman etc. They all were bad and bombed. So he is right.

[@BR-jw7pm]

@@arthurcharlie2873 they bombed cuz they were bad films or poor execution, NOT because they had female leads. Wonder Woman was a box office success because it was a great movie! The lead’s gender doesn’t matter as long as the film is good

[@alkirk-ws4co]

try poorly acted and the begining of the woke culture bs, whereby the titular c, was badass just BECAUSE she was a woman.

[@nicksoapdish157]

The 2019 film Captain Marvel was not a flop and actually made nearly over a billion dollars. It wasn't a bad movie at all; it was actually pretty good. I'm getting sick and tired of all this fake culture war and wokism bullshit.

[@robotrix]

​@@alkirk-ws4coIncel says, "What?"

[@drewrub7415]

Still love The Core. Cheesy? Yup. Decent background movie when I'm a little bored? Yup.

[@ShadowCthulhu]

i concur with this one,.

[@Goats_]

Agreed. 🍻

[@brentirwin10]

The Core is a weirdly compelling bad movie.

[@kimberker1]

❤

[@ElleBelle1919]

The Core is, hands down, my favorite bad movie

[@kencougr]

"The Core" is a classic "Heroes Risk All To Save The World" movie. By. The Numbers. Picking them off one by one as they sacrifice themselves for their team and the world. I adore that film. I am so into Hero SH*T action/sci-fi movies. "The Core" hits every button.

[@aquabuddha]

I actually really enjoyed the Internship. Felt like a spiritual successor to Wedding Crashers. Edit: to be clear, I'm not saying this is peak cinema by any means. I just enjoy the chemistry between Wilson and Vaughn enough to not notice that it "felt dated"

[@NewLegacy93]

Yeah weird starting note

[@nicksoapdish157]

The only problem with The Internship is that should have came out in 2008 or 2009 and would have done way better and probably would have been a better movie

[@Sparky0627]

Like they said, it did feel dated.

[@tylergay7221]

I respect your opinion, however I feel like that could be used by the Cia as a torture device.

[@nicksoapdish157]

@@tylergay7221 😅

[@dro3882]

No lie, I forgot Bloodshot happened.

[@Forsoothious]

It wasn't that bad of a movie. It was decent for a Valiant Comic book movie, but it was sadly overshadowed by the MCU.

[@ShadowCthulhu]

Every time I hear Blood shot I think of the Vampire Movie by the same name (Bloodshot 2013) I always forget about the Vin Diesel Movie.

[@ownnquillen1607]

It's a shame it did so bad. I'd like to see more movies from the Valiant universe. X-O Manowar would be fun.

[@NotaPizzaGRL]

@@ownnquillen1607 I didn't know Bloodshot got a film! Valiant Comics was nice while they were around. Archer & Armstrong + Quantum & Woody should give films or animated series.

[@Zombiesnyder13]

VENOM had the writer from 50 SHADES OF GREY (who is also directing VENOM 3) MORBIUS had the writers from GODS OF EGYPT (Who are also behind MADAME WEB) And KRAVEN THE HUNTER has the writers from TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT AVI ARAD ruined everything again, just like he ruined TASM series

[@nathanmiller9918]

It's wild the way some can fail upwards in some industries.

[@jonmarshall2008]

The Core is one of my background films whilst cooking dinner...along with Dante's Peak, The Day After Tomorrow, Deep Impact and Armageddon. Can't beat a classic disaster film while in the kitchen cooking up a sunday roast

[@alliex51]

Volcano is good too...

[@shamusomalley4263]

The Core is awesome.

[@federicovicente8116]

Say what you want about The Core, even past the hype of disaster movies of the '90's, it's a great film.

[@user-rt9zq8rs9k]

Art Bell loved that movie .

[@rorylynch7775]

Since you mentuoned Morbius, Black Adam and Madame Web are also both recent comic book films that feel like they would have been made 20 years ago in the Daredevil-Elektra-Catwoman era of Superhero movies, but somehow transported into the future

[@pete7164]

The Ben Afleck Daredevil. The popular music used in the movie was out of date by the time the film hit theaters

[@coreyhelms3019]

Look...The Core is awesome. sure it's not ID4 but damn is it fun. And Stanley Tucci talking into a recorder as he is waiting to die...in the core...is the best

[@Sparky0627]

That was the funniest part when he finally realized that no one was going to hear it!

[@bjornwatlington5256]

Funny thing about Deadshot : for some reason I decided to watch it just after it was released to digital. Won’t I be surprised as the movie progressed, this was shot in the neighbourhood I grew up in and literally around the corner from my parents. That neighbourhood has never progressed out the 80s and 90s which hugely contributed to the aesthetic. It was probably shot on such a low budget , they didn’t even notice a film crew.

[@Vontroll]

What really killed me about The Core was: you know that scene in every disaster movie where one of the protagonists sacrifices themselves to save the others? Yea, that happens like 5 or 6 times in this movie.

[@saxonde68]

What do you mean “Only one of whom deserves an Oscar”? All 3 have very well deserved Oscars…

[@andiestrellitam3]

Yeah the fact that some of their performances or their personalities are different from what people would like doesn’t mean they aren’t good actors, they are, specially Malik, but even Jared has some pretty good acting gigs, specially the one that gave him the Oscar.

[@stevennabours1320]

Unpopular opinion, but I greatly enjoy Bloodshot.

[@Thurgosh_OG]

It's not an unpopular opinion, just one film review channels, like this don't approve of. It's a fun film.

[@zachtwilightwindwaker596]

I was wondering if other people enjoyed it.

Top 10 whatculture lists made to make quota:

[@tylergay7221]

Top 10 times anonymous commenters revealed their masochistic habit of caping for dogshit movies:

[@niveketihw1897]

We enjoyed The Little Things. Decent film. Say what you will about Gemini Man, I saw it in the theater and it was the most immersive thing I have ever seen. That motorcycle chase scene... every other movie feels like watching through a layer of vaseline after seeing this. Great film, no. Stunning clarity, definitely.

[@camaronshoultz6137]

Your lists keep getting worse and worse. It’s bad enough that you regularly contradict yourselves in your various videos. But that balls on you to badmouth movies in an attempt to sound edgy is just pathetic. Forgive me if I don’t trust the opinion of a person who says Spider-Man 3 really isn’t that bad 😂 oh and I’m not a huge Leto fan but to say he doesn’t deserve his Oscar is extremely ignorant and disrespectful.

[@CharlesMarino-je5yt]

Killjoy. 😐

[@matthiasjanzen4621]

he thinks Rami Malik don't deserve an Oscar! ...

[@3l3llala13]

Definitely not deserving of Oscar for playing Freddie Mercury.

[@nicksoapdish157]

The people who work at What Culture must really, really hate the movie Crash because they hate on this movie every chance they get.

[@mommiedearest5337]

It’s really obvious.

[@benmcfee]

Don't worry. One day, the creators of these lists will wind up in a freak automobile accident, and the only one around to help them out of the car will be Paul Haggis, and then they'll realize he wasn't such a bad guy after all.

[@peterbumper2769]

Rambo III. Rambo teams up with Afghanistan rebels to fight Russians. By the time the movie came out, Russians had left Afghanistan and now we know the rebels by different names

[@ilyas1054]

It opened in the summer of 88', merely six month before the first soviet troop evacuated afghanistan

[@warshield924]

I only saw two of these films but Crash (which was good but definitely not best picture and certainly dated) and Black Widow. Widow would have done better had they released it 5 years earlier or done a true spy movie instead of what they did. If they had done a real Black Widow spy movie stressing her brains and abilities, think Winter Soldier, it would have been received better even if it came late. Best '90's disaster movie, Deep Impact by a long shot.

[@SamButler22]

No way, The Core definitely feels like early 00s

[@rick50150]

Clerks 3 was a good movie, comes with the feels.

[@dirtybird311]

Agreed! I watched it right after I lost my best friend, and I couldn’t breathe by the end of it.

[@anxiouschicken3682]

Agree. Their reason for putting it on this list is reaching. That "sub-plot" takes up what? 5-6 minutes? Use your heads WhatCulture.

[@getnohappy]

I will hear nothing against The Core. It is perfect in every way!

[@user-vb5tq2kv1q]

It looks like a personal vendetta against some of the actors mentioned here

[@LeonardoKlotz]

I knew what to expect from Bloodshot when I saw it had the writer from "Truth or Dare" and "Fantasy Island" I just watched it because the director did the episode "Sonnie's Edge" from "Love, Death and Robots"

[@robertaitken5469]

I love The Internship, I still watch it.

[@jetman80pops]

I love The Internship but it has to be the unrated cut Blu-ray

[@WynneL]

When you mention Denzel Washington and Rami Malek while saying only one of them deserves to have any Oscars, that's the point at which I lose all respect for you and close your video. Go watch Mister Robot. Bye.

[@BD-or5yh]

For the record..Jared Leto won the hell out of that Oscar for his role in Dallas Buyers Club

[@robotrix]

Yeah just like ever Oscar nomination Miramax bought over the years....

[@deandrenicholas2545]

Which would make him 1 for his career in movies he didnt completely suck nuts in...

[@MurderMostFowl]

I wonder has anyone ever tried to “un-shaky-cam” the Borne films?

[@ashroskell]

Great presentation there. Your commentary was uplifted by your narration style. “NFT’s, None Fungible Tokens, meyah nugh nyuuughhh.” Made me laugh out loud a few times there.

[@roo72]

I really enjoyed Crash when it came out. Watched it again quite recentky and I had no idea why I liked it at the time.

[@chucho_qmp]

And still, Bloodshot got super close to a VFX Oscar nomination (it made the final shortlist). 💀

[@ashroskell]

I’ve got a copy of The Core. Everything you said about it is right, BUT . . . The Core rocks! It has a great script, great performances and always struck me as a highly enjoyable, deliberately B Movie style, high concept romp. You can’t deny it’s a lot of fun and great one for the friends and bears set. It never takes itself seriously and, if you accept that, you’ll have a good time.

[@dzombie5776]

Denzel is a movie legend

[@Thurgosh_OG]

ID4 is not a disaster film it's an Alien Invasion/Action film.

[@WinstonSmith19847]

The movie was a disaster.

[@alexandersimanovsky3473]

Bourne Legacy is the second best Bourne movie, hands down, and the Treadstone series was also excellent.

[@BlasphemousLion]

Being from LA the stuff from crash is still going on so it's not gonna be dated until the stuff stops

[@CharlesMarino-je5yt]

The guy who does the Super Panavision trailers really needs to do one for "The Core," because "The Core" *felt like* a Super Panavision movie at the time.

[@user-vy5fc3ho2y]

We all knew you meant Denzel! But it is still good you made sure we knew what you meant.

[@terryr7622]

Crash winning Best Picture was probably the biggest WTF moment. Ah well

[@cainakubiaki]

Zombieland 2 was clearly supposed to be made right after the first one but was made a decade later.

[@sheilaholmes8455]

I love Black Widow.

[@kiticanax1421]

Jon Stewart's "Irresistible" come to mind. The entire premise of the film is something thought of by an average watcher of The Daily Show in 2005 despite the movie releasing in...2020. I realize that this is an odd and niche pick, but anybody who is even remotely familiar with politics (no matter which side you are on) it comes across as a literal time capsule.

[@danieljob3184]

Hollywood producers could learn a thing or two from my slushpile, full of quotable one-liners and award worthy scenes which have missed their windows and been consigned to oblivion as a result.

[@FHL-Devils]

The problem with Black Widow wasn't feeling out of date because of chronological order (after all, Joker did far more than 'just fine')..... it's because it instantly LOOKED out of date with completely unacceptable CGI for 2011, let alone 10 years later. The sister-explosion scene will live on in infamy in the same way as The Rock's face on Scorpion King has.

[@user-rt9zq8rs9k]

Black Widow was put into streaming and COVID affected Black Widow box office biz

[@TheMarlinlask]

This guy deserves so many props for dissing "Crash" and anything Kevin Smith.

[@rustyshackleford2792]

The intersnhip was surprisingly funny tho. Always dig vince and owen together.

[@hitmanmonaghan6633]

They were waiting to see how well Wonder Woman film did before green lighting Black Widow.

[@bronsonbamnallen1633]

Jared Leto deserved his Oscar for Dallas Buyers Club.

[@PurplePisces228]

My mom- wait brokeback mountain didn't win best picture?! Me- no the movie that won that year was crash My mom- what the hell is crash????? Me- exactly

[@margaretedwards1366]

Leto made his bones in " Dallas Buyer's Club ".

[@matthewflanagan9097]

This liso me when he said Rami Malek didn't deserve an Oscar, this list should be on this list. Plus I love The Core and The Internship, mind you I also like Waterworld, Journey to the Centre of the Earth (Brendan Frasier one) and The Postman, so that probably doesn't mean much lol

[@timothyserabian5103]

Dante’s Peak is my all time favorite disaster movie. Yeah, Independence Day is awesome, bit when I think of a, “disaster“ movie, I think natural disasters. Not aliens.

[@metern]

Bloodshot is a great movie. 6/10

[@jacobalbert2603]

ID4 is obviously the best of the afore mentioned disaster flicks. That said, Dante's Peak is criminally underrated.

[@matthewtansey2040]

Having seen crash for the first time in 2024… I think the core message as I saw it is still very relevant. To say it isn’t discounts the institutional divides that keep us all from looking at our role as part of the widespread problems that we are all a part of… the fear of what we don’t know and understand in others and the human tendency to jump to conclusions leading to larger problems born from misunderstanding and that same fear. It is a movie to start the conversation about our own biases, which feels as important now as ever. To think beyond ourselves and challenge the loop of our own ignorant behaviors which we all have. Also… I think it was much more impactful than capote to leave the audience with food for thought. To me that’s why film and art is so important! Maybe I’m off touch, though it is a movie that makes me want to be better to all those around me. To seek to understand instead of analyze. We never know the world that shaped their point of view as well as we think we do.

[@danas916x]

Wasn't that the whole point of Internship. 2 caveman guys just learning the internet.

[@halfghaniteevee3559]

If Morbius came out in 2003, it would be a cult classic like Blade 😂😂😂

[@MegaBawse]

😂 I like that show, some good music

[@averageant7173]

The Little Things is still a pretty damn good film and even more so when you think of it as a nod to the early 90s crime thrillers

[@themr_wilson]

"The Core" more like "The Exposition" That movie can't go a scene without straight up explaining what's happening. Great cast in it, but wow the writing

[@matthiasjanzen4621]

black widow should have gotten a Disney plus spy series!

[@chadb9270]

My dad actually rented The Core on DVD multiple times. Mainly because he forgot he had rented it before… 😂😂😂

[@mathieuaustin7190]

1. “Denzel deserves ALL the Oscars.” Amen.👏 2. Indeed, tons of action-thrillers led by women have done gangbusters. The deciding factor? Quality. Just like the ones led by men. That studios ignore this is egregious. 3. I’m *still* laughing at the PS3-level CGI from Bloodshot, I film I wanted to (but didn’t) love. 5. I’m with you on Independence Day.👍

[@2244ntho66]

Yep, Denzel, out of those 3, is the only one deserving of an Oscar.

We can all shit on Jared Leto, but why bully Rami?

[@darylpaulk]

Core Armageddon i still get them confused even though they are very different time releases.....kinda felt like a remake. Bloodshot got hit with the pandemic and was ,day one, a background flick. The elevator fight scene was comical to watch 😅😂

[@earlchatterton9133]

Green Book feels like a safe, early 90s TV movie to me. I know people give Crash shit now, but I remember liking it a lot and thought all the Matt Dillon stuff in particular was fascinating. Green Book though is a simplistic, sappy and cardboard look at race, and the fact that it won the Oscar for Best Picture is absurd. It's not a terrible movie as such, but it's not Oscar-calibur in any way...aside from Ali's usual terrific performance.

[@TheAJ2501]

hey, don't diss The Core, it came at the right time, and the right age of VFX of the noughties. AND a genuine original disaster sci-fi plot imo. It would've looked more outta date with mid-90s VFX and probably more practical FX with miniatures, If it came out in the mid/late-90s I love The Core, it's still my go-to movie whenever it needs to be.

[@brucenatelee]

One thing I liked about The Internship: Tiya Sircar. She was fucking gorgeous in that film. (Seriously, India. You got some baddies of the melinated quality. Hire them more!)

[@prole2554]

No "Crash" was SPOT ON!! ANYONE who EVER had ANY interaction with the other culture, knows how true this movie felt. Today, thing are MUCH worse.

[@nicksoapdish157]

[@marcomlott9099]

Ewan, you are the best!

[@originalkangarootoo]

I liked Little Things exactly because of its classic thriller vibe, and commanding a broad audience is hardly a measure of quality. I guess it fits the list, but it is clutching to make its older feel a criticism.

[@curiousgemini]

The Little Things is set in the 90s you could look at the make and model of the police vehicles use your eyes guys.
