from MBMBaM 365: One Guy, One Guy, and a Chicken Place. Justin takes one for the team and reviews The Emoji Movie. it is terrible.
all credit to the brothers and i guess the producers of The Emoji Movie. and also John Roderick and The Long Winters.

"well anyway there’s a scene where the puppy… pisses on adam sandler’s coffin, which- it turned out to be weirdly prophetic for the experience of me watching the emoji movie, because it WAS like- it WAS like a giant dog was pissing on my coffin and i was adam sandler. that’s how watching the emoji movie made me feel."

This should be the Rotten Tomatoes summary.

[@slendy9600]

The worst part of that experience is you have to be Adam Sandler

[@lee6001]

My favorite scene in the emoji movie is when Gene looks directly into the camera, says "If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife-with the wife of his neighbor-both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death." and then the movie just keeps going normally.

[@vd2485]

im never gonna see the movie so I might as well take ur word for it

[@BooDoug187]

My favorite scene from the movie was the shot for shot remake of the fire extinguisher scene from irreversible. It was so powerful!

[@zekeram129]

I saw it and I can attest that that did in fact happen

[@EllaIngram]

that doesn’t sound right but I don’t know enough about the emoji movie to dispute it

[@OttoGraff-fu8pj]

My favorite scene was the post credits scene where without any warning, Gene shot up the school and says “Hahaha, Admiral Ackbar!!”

[@randomtrucks]

It just occurred to me that technically, yes, you could say that an unborn baby is "wearing" its mother, and that absolutely ruined my life

Justin: I've seen every kids movie out there Justin: oh I've never seen hotel Transylvania

[@laurafrakinroslin]

B-atiful! Every kids movie since Charlie was born. Hotel Transivalia is pretty old

[@aboxofbeans]

Did you not hear the part where he said "since my daughter was released" and then later "I've never seen that flick (Hotel Transylvania) that was pre- release" referring to Charlie The movie is older than his daughter

[@lumen8341]

hehe, Charlie's still way tiny though. As much as they push kid's movies out she hasn't seen that many yet.

[@craigtrautmanjr9393]

Since hotel transylvania 3 came after Charlie's birth, I expect justin to have seen it. Just 3. The first two aren't in that time range. Hes not allowed.

[@sharkfist1639]

"Put some sauce on that dance burrito" sounds exactly like a mcelory joke

[@aquanecromancer5776]

@@devinward461 When I checked myself in to a mental hospital to keep from killing myself, it was similar. Older teenagers kept in a large room, given coloring books, and TLC at max volume on the TV. We had a movie night where we watched Dodgeball with Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller. I remember just feeling broken by the end. Like the depths of ignorance and ugliness are so much deeper than what was already making me feel like I shouldn't live.

[@awzthemusicalreviews]

Listening to this for the first time, I do have to give the Emoji movie credit for their self awareness in casting two very hateable people in their very hateable film.

[@CakefoxDots]

the whole movie doesnt make sense because who gives a fuck if someone is another emotion outside of their work??? if you have to act professional during work, cool. you dont fucking act like project manager throughout your whole life though. meh emoji should suffer no repercussions for acting differently other than meh outside of the keyboard

[@lilithwills812]

I think the whole thing is that he got nervous and was unable to be "meh" when needed.

[@IndirectCogs]

It's like that one Anne Rice book that like 6 people read, not a vampire book, where the grandpa is a creepy long-lived witch who bangs every generation of daughter in his family trying to make a super-witch. Except Adam Sandler is in it. So, somehow it's way more gross.

"'Feels' is another one for me, but it's not quite up there with 'meh'." But then, literally the next thing he says: "So, like, this 'meh' emoji voiced by T J Miller can't just be 'meh'. He FEELS all kinds of emotions, and he basically like, breaks this kid's phone cos he FEELS all the emotions." What a hypocrite..! (j/k)
