Would you have wanted The Incredibles to be a stand alone film, or are you happy it's gotten a sequel?

[@munkyzzb7504]

I'm excited

[@JacobHayden911]

I'm just happy it finally got a sequel.

[@AyresForceOne]

I've been wanting one forever. Fingers crossed it's good (or at least not as bad as Cars 2)!

[@lunarimperium42]

It's always felt like one of those movies that actually deserved a sequel. I just didn't expect it to take a decade.

[@nikwalk94]

I'm just happy that it got a sequel and I find that film enjoyable.

[@DashingPunkSamurai]

Sarah is the best. So pretty, funny, clever and has a amazing laugh and a great voice. Her presence in these video is always a awesome addition.

[@hinasakukimi]

seconded. sarah is a delight :)

[@georgecartright7104]

Same Sarah is so fun to watch

[@leannerose6181]

Veetard1985 #TeamSarah

[@justindenney-hall5875]

Her daughter is very blessed to have her for a mother Namaste.

[@theoriginalsache]

My four year old niece is FASCINATED by this movie. A WHOLE FAMILY of superheroes! It's hitting both her "family role play" AND superhero fixations and if The Incredibles had a princess in it, I think it would make her brain explode. Can't wait until she can read so I can get her into some kid-friendly comics. Right now, she mostly watches the various DC Animated webseries. Including, yes, the Superhero Girls.

[@LokDesaad6]

I'm surprised you didn't bring up the Pixar short "Bao".

[@SpongeyTheEditor]

"Maybe her mind got wiped" Guess you haven't seen Jack Jack Attack :p

[@randalgraves6979]

The short explains his powers? I knew I heard that too

[@robertmoreno7881]

28:08 or so is perhaps the most adorable Brad has ever been with "I just like that he's...I just like that he's a big cat" I also share this sentiment.

[@IgnatiusThorogood]

So Screenslaver is basically the Riddler from Batman Forever?

[@SpongeyTheEditor]

Eh, Syndrome was closer to Riddler in terms of backstory.

[@IgnatiusThorogood]

Spongey444 That's true, but Screenslaver's evil plan in this is nearly identical to Riddler's plan in that movie.

[@Dimensioneer88]

And with the same motivation of Vulture from Spider-Man Homecoming.

[@TiredRoman]

Thats probably while The part of this movie I legitimately liked was the villain. I like villians having a goal that small scale, relatively, that have wider philosophical significance. She like the rest of the movie suffered sadly from the ham handed dialogue.

[@JeffDoyen]

But the villain in Incredibles 2 came up with the Screenslaver character, meanwhile Edward Nigma stole his alter ego from his collection of that Riddler character.

[@JadoDog]

Naw, they never found out about Jack-Jack in the first movie. The babysitter left a voicemail for them, but it was really incoherent to them and they forgot about it cause Syndrome showed up. Then when Jack-Jack freaked out on Syndrome, he transformed to normal just in time for Elastigirl to save him.

[@ToastyMozart]

I mean she probably still saw the _flames_ coming off him.

[@MontyPythonFanatic2]

ToastyMozart Jack-Jack’s actually only on fire for a few seconds, most of it was him going demonic on Syndrome’s ass. And Syndrome was already too high up for Helen and Bob to see what was going on, all Helen says is “something’s happening” when Syndrome stops ascending, and then they get distracted trying to figure out how to save Jack-Jack.

[@Wawagirl17]

Exactly. They never discovered it, and really, that dude who wiped the babysitter's memory really should've TOLD them their infant has about 20 different dangerous abilities. ;)

[@REALmikegordan]

He probably didn't know that they didn't know. He mostly doesn't care what they do or know so long as they remain underground.

[@randalgraves6979]

I thought I heard that the Jack Jack short explains about his powers. I know this wayyy late but just saying

[@EZ-IZZY1995]

I think the thing that is somewhat hypocritical of Helen in this film is the fact that Bob was super distant from his family in the first one due to obsessing about being a super again. He had to learn to rely on them as much as they relied on him.But it wasnt just a lesson for him, it was a lesson for Helen too. She had anger issues in the first one and had to learn how to be calm and relay information to her kids calmly, firmly and lovingly. She had to learn to understand her husbands point of view, instead of being the stereotypical wife. Ultimately they had to learn how to be a TEAM. This film just flips roles and almost renders the first one useless. Honestly, as much as i loved the first one, I almost wish there wasnt a sequel.

[@treynevs4888]

Pitching The Incredibles 2: "Mr. Mom, but instead of Batman... It's Superman!"

[@ShadowWing7439]

26:05 "It looks like an entire movie made up of Disney going 'look at all the shit we own'" Just wait until Kingdom Hearts 3 comes out Brad.

[@geoffreysorkin5774]

That's hilarious, you think Kingdom Hearts 3 will ever actually be released.

[@SlashDashCrash]

its said to be released on jan. 29, 2019

[@geoffreysorkin5774]

Wasn't it supposed to be released 3 years ago? Then 2 years ago. Then last year. Then this year. With the constant delays, I'm waiting until July/August when they push it back to 2020.

[@Adylure]

Geoffrey Sorkin There were no delays. They didn't even start making it until, like, 4 years ago.

[@KNadoli]

Once again, as with thr 1st one and Ratatouille, Brad Bird shows his fetish for the 50s and old timey 60s Get Smart shit, made me wanna play Team Fortress 2 again for sure

[@MysteriumArcanum]

I personally love the 50s aesthetic, it just looks classy and cool.

[@mikethegrunty5968]

I saw incredibles 2 as part of that double feature regal was doing. It’s not that I didn’t love the hell out of 2, and I did love the hell out of 2, it’s just that,for me at least, the first one was so damn good that the sequel would have to be like dark knight levels to beat it. Also, without spoilers, I’ll say jack jack is EASILY the best part.

[@TiredRoman]

jack jack was the worst part for me. The humor scenes with him were so disjointed from the rest of the movie and even more so from the first one. Everything he touched became like a looney toons short. That would be fine as comedy shorts that pixar put out on the side or something. But being in a movie where everything else was comparably serious and realistic, pulled me out of the movie each time hard.

[@TiredRoman]

I took it as seriously as the first film was. This isn'y loonie toons, just because the characters happen to be animated doesn't mean that the story isnt serious.

[@mikethegrunty5968]

Aquillia because there was absolutely no goofy comedy in the first one, like, say, a montage of superheroes being killed because they wore capes, or elastigirls lower half being caught in a door, or frozone bickering with his wife over his supersuit, or mr incredibles interactions with the kid in his drive way, or dash using his super speed to put a tack on his teachers chair, or the “ no force fields” scene.

[@TiredRoman]

They were funny because of character interaction or in the case of the cape thing because it was a montage. but none of them were goofy or required animals to people characters.

[@mikethegrunty5968]

Aquillia than I guess we should throw out up because it had dogs flying plans. You don’t like it, fine, do you, but respect my right to enjoy it

[@Dimensioneer88]

Incredibles is my favorite Pixar movie.

[@ginnrollins211]

Remember when Syndrome said "Too late, fifteen years too late?" I think that's how everybody is feeling right now(even though we had one more year left for that comment to make sense, but still, fourteen years is still a long time).

[@BlackBeWhite2k7]

Yeah...critics and audiences are just ripping this shit to threads just look at the scores on RT and IMDB, oh wait...

[@nope5657]

Speak for yourself.

[@BobbyDrake2000]

I called Screenslaver's identity almost instantly. I wonder if the pizza delivery boy ever got released.

[@ryanbryant-smith9850]

+MadCap Productions I guess so.

[@wespapes2054]

Even though it was easy to figure out the plot, I still had a great time.

[@millabasset1710]

This is a better sequel than Toy Story 3... fight me.

[@SilvarusLupus]

Who would fight you, you're right.

[@JacobHayden911]

Oh my God this movie blew me away! It was worth the long wait!

[@DiarraHarris]

I could see a "SUPERHEO University" happening. Also the "Muppet Babbies" remake is airing on Disney Jr. now.

[@justindenney-hall5875]

Muppet Babies was one of my favorite show's a kid.

[@JeffDoyen]

It's called Sky High, a superhero movie where the superhero's kids are developing their powers and go to high school.

[@Jaytheradical]

Oh that mirror scene from the first one. That's a very memorable, stand-out scene. Very formative, as well.

[@yupitsjessbbyx3]

Second viewing helps a lot. I saw it twice and I noticed that when Elastagirl goes into Screenslavers apartment as she’s opening the door he’s standing *right next to the door* and it freaked me out. Yeah the villain is pretty immediately obvious, I think the brothers over animated face was to make you believe he was the villain but still. Elastagirls story line is a lot more enjoyable the second time around.

[@RickRaptor105]

Regarding that Antman & the Wasp "manbaby", apparently it's just a troll account. Don't even give him any attention.

[@AshleyWill713]

I remember you have epilepsy and many on Twitter are posting about how the flashing lights in the film bothered them. I didn't hear you comment on that unless I zoned out during it, so was curious on your thoughts on that.

[@Cludensyo]

The Brad and Sarah show to do list: - Talk about the movie - Shit on Dave - Talk about the previews - Shit on Dave

[@geoffreysorkin5774]

Nothing about Brendan Frasier?

[@VirtualBoy500]

And mention Encino Man and/or Overboard

[@h0lly_blue]

also reminding Sarah about something that either makes her laugh or makes her go "YEAH!"

[@B2M2948]

The Incredibles 2: MR MOM

[@captcrais101]

I love the bat phone reference. That was hilarious when I saw the red phones.

[@johnpotts8308]

Enrico Colantoni is the guy from "Galaxy Quest" and "Just Shoot Me" (also "Veronica Mars") that you couldn't think of!

[@8razz13b]

Can I suggest watching that unofficial jaws sequel called cruel jaws for when the movie the Meg comes out

[@thewraithwriter22]

8Razz13 B you mean Jaws 5? I think the Snob reviewed it

[@MrCreeper-yf4mc]

3:17 DUTCH TILT!

[@dreamlandnightmare]

We call them oblique angles, thank you very much.

[@Dimensioneer88]

Michael Bay is not directing Bumblebee but he is producing it like the Ninja Turtle movies. Just because he's not directing doesn't mean it won't have his grubby fingerprints on it.

[@StonedGremlinProductions]

He also produced A Quiet Place, which was excellent.

[@Arrowdodger]

25:15 I love when, even after all these years of doing this, Sarah and Brad and the rest still manage to catch each other off guard and get a real big belly laugh with the perfect joke or reference.

[@ThePonderer]

I adored this movie. I think it’s easily in League with the first film and any issues I have are minuscule.

[@LigerFan]

Ooo! Sounds like we get Slightly Jaded Brad in this episode! :D

[@MontyPythonFanatic2]

1:26 That’s basically how it was when I saw Finding Dory at 9pm opening night. Everyone appeared to be roughly between ages 17-25, no one younger or older to speak of.

[@ankle-beez]

Just letting you know that there's a Muppet babies reboot show going on Disney's preschool block

[@tanyasobsessions2131]

I happy it got a sequel. I loved the second one more then the first. I didn't see the villain coming. thought it would be the brother. it wasn't. lol

[@canderia]

I didn't hear about Supermans lip, and I noticed it immediately. I didn't know about the Renner thing until I saw this, and i didn't notice it at all.

[@Coolcoolcooldude]

What is it with 2018 and dog movies? Sgt. Stubby, Isle of Dogs, Showdogs, Axle, and Dog Days.

[@9-bitfox]

26:47 Fox: Im sorry but lost it with Cinderella about to stab some one with a glass slipper lol

[@thewraithwriter22]

9-BitFox wait, what?

[@futuremovieactor]

What did you guys think of Bao, the short before the movie?

[@saturdaymorningcheapseats3281]

any chance we might ever see the transformers movies on any future snob episodes?

[@gabe_s_videos]

So Im not the only one who thought that Bumblebee felt disturbingly romantic.

[@taylorscott9292]

I stopped to tell my friend, who was gonna see it, about not expecting TOO much from it but that it’s still good. When I got back in the review to hear them talking about “Galaxy Quest” So in conclusion “I didn’t love it. It was good, but you’ve got to go watch Mr.Mom and Galaxy Quest” that’s the good olé brad seal of approval we know and love

[@funcoolfunfun]

I love this movie.

[@SkolneyVikings]

I really enjoy how Sarah pronounces "robots"

[@Valdagast]

Does Sophie have any powers? Apart from screaming? Also, didn't Sarah cry when Stoick died? I was bawling in the theater.

[@Valdagast]

Maybe Sarah just has a heart of stone.

[@mitkitty]

I wanna go see this movie, but I'm photosensitive (no swizures, but i get severe migraines and disorientation when dealing with flashing lights) and ive heard this movie has a lot of that. Maybe when it comes out on netflix....

[@ryanbryant-smith9850]

Hmm... Do you have anything to calm your photosensitivity? If so, take it before you go see this movie. If not, if this movie comes out on blu ray, watch the movie in a place where there are soft lights. Like watch it in a room with a desk lamp or in your living room.

[@artistwithouttalent]

12:35 It's something they're working on. The shorts that come before the movie serve as a kind of tech demo for what they're focusing on in terms of animation, and that was absolutely the case for the short ahead of this one (😭😭😭) Call your parents, kids. 24:11 Not even at _Bao?_ Just got out of the movie. It was good. Very good. The issue is that the first one exists, which naturally draws comparison. And while it's been a while, unless I am seriously misremembering things, I think the original was better. SPOILERS AHEAD I didn't mind the direction this took (I thought the Mr. Mom "oh look at the man failing to parent" was dealt with well, in that they dealt with it and moved on.) I liked a greater focus on Elastigirl (although I feel like there's a pretty good, if not better story, in her and everyone else's past and I wish we could've seen more of it.) I feel like maybe Edna Mode was a little bit Flanderized here (although ultimately well used.) My main issue was the villain. While she had a point (like most good villains,) she took it to an absolutely batshit conclusion using a ridiculous plan. And beyond her philosophy, I feel like she was very underdeveloped.

[@artistwithouttalent]

Barn Owl Entertainment Well, they said it was right after they'd been made illegal, and in the first movie they mentioned that Gazerbeam didn't want to integrate. I just don't think her plan makes any sense. She blames superheroes for her parents' deaths because her dad made the decision to try and call them rather than go into their safe room, so she wants to make sure superheroes are illegal to make people take responsibility for themselves... profit? I mean, they were already illegal, and if her brother fought her on the matter, she can hypnotize him.

[@TheDantedarkdemon201]

I just got out of seeing this and I loved it

[@KNadoli]

Thank you Sarah for namedropping Mr. Mom :)

[@adamtherock2008]

I want to know is it as violent as the first? Because that’s something I didn’t pick up on until rewatching it as an adult.

[@Scott-yf1zn]

adamtherock2008 as violent

[@adamtherock2008]

Hell ya!

[@thewraithwriter22]

Lettuceman2049 late, but nah. Spoiler: no one dies

[@huntermooney143]

3:09, looks like Brad and Sarah got the cinematographer for Battlefield Earth to do the camera work.

[@leethompson-kolar6333]

I liked the restaurant scene. It was practically an homage to the obscure 2007 anime _Karin,_ right down to the awkward 14-year-old girl who shoots liquid out of her nose and is embarrassed about it. "Welcome to Julian!"

[@ryanbryant-smith9850]

What was that anime called? Karin? I gotta check that out sometime.

[@yoshimasterleader]

My favorite thing about Incredibles 2 was that it was niceto see heroes trying to minimize causalities and property damage.

[@VirtualBoy500]

Dr. Suess' How Kirk Cameron Saved Christmas

[@randalgraves6979]

I loved it when Graig T Nelson said “you moved the headstones but you left the bodies.” Oh wait.

[@yszman6478]

So no one got Naked Gun vibes from this movie. Not that is bad, just saying to the villain of the movie, Vincent Ludwig wants his idea back.

[@sway6718]

At the 3:09 mark, the camera decided to go all "Battlefield Earth" on us.

[@stevedyer8075]

The villain turn was obvious, I thought, more so because of who the previous villain was in the other movie, rather than because of telegraphing. I called it the second they walked on screen, because of the contrast with Syndrome's motivation and personality. That said, I feel they weren't trying to hide it from us as much as giving us the clues to figure it out, since Elastigirl uses the same clues.

[@willday9316]

Mr. BatMom?

[@funcoolfunfun]

As for Ralph Breaks the Internet, I honestly think it'll be amazing.

[@SMATF5]

I'm with you, Sarah; I rented "Mr. Mom" a few months ago, and stopped watching about 15-20 minutes in. I'm sure at some point I'll go back and watch the whole thing and really enjoy it, but it just wasn't that interesting at the time.

[@h0lly_blue]

just got out of this - pretty damn good for someone who hasn't seen the original in forever

[@skykingdublin]

The rest of the superhero movies that are coming out this year are: “Ant-Man and the Wasp”, “Teen Titans Go! to the Movies”, “Venom”, “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse”, and “Aquaman”

[@JeremiahLambertArt]

nice Fongs shirt! wonder who told you about that place?

[@JeremiahLambertArt]

it was MEEEEE!!!!!

[@JohnBlack2345]

has the guy with the glasses quit?

[@slashingkatie7872]

Yes they did reboot Muppet Babies on Disney Jr. and my daughter loves it. And glad to see I’m not the only one who’s appaulled at Wreck it Ralph 2 being the Disney Circle Jerk Emoji Movie

[@donnylurch4207]

You didn't cry enough during Bao?

[@juneguts]

why no talk about the chinese short before the movie

[@planescaped]

Weird how big Bob Odenkirk became so long after Mr Show with Bob and David, as well as David Cross having basically come and gone in the same time.

[@Necron1999]

planescaped He can thank Breaking Bad for that.

[@DenderFriend]

Are there spoilers in this review?

[@Dameduse823]

Batman Yes. They always do spoilers in these reviews.

[@Lazy_eye_blobFish]

Hoopla!

[@GalvanizedArt]

brb going to draw some Lloyd Fury art

[@D0ug1997]

I was hoping they'd dedicate some time to talking about Bao

[@400films9]

Between this movie and the first movie there have been three Cars movies.

[@brixnfriends663]

I'm convinced these movies are a prequel to Fallout !

[@blaa6]

You kidding? Wreck it Ralph 2 looks amazing.

[@jvondd]

I never knew that Sarah pronounced "robot" the same way Zoidberg does.

[@LucareonVee]

NO MENTIONS OF "BAO"?

[@GoldenGyroBalls]

Sarah, you gotta watch Chappie NOW.

[@emperorsean1]

This movie shouldve been the superhero family goes on an adventure together and saves ths day a a superhero family. The moral couldve been just like the last one that their at their best when they work together as a superhero family. Not a gender flip of dad stays home and babysits the kid whilst mom goes off to be a superhero.

[@the.seagull.35]

Isn't that just the same plot as the first one? Why would that be better?

[@mattlucas169]

Great it hear your reaction .lol

[@andreadamon2197]

I remember getting a trailer for Alpha in front of Dunkirk a year ago. I think they could’ve done some Quest For Fire shit with this movie, but nope. I get that that movie is dated, but it’s certainly more ambitious than this shit looks

[@TheTrekkie42]

Ya didn’t talk about that short. I was really hoping you would. It got extremely fucked up for like... a second.

[@schris3]

Ok Brad, is one thing that you didn't rewatched the first movie for a long time, but other thing, that is bad, is that you didn't watch it again recently in anticipation for the movie.

[@StonedGremlinProductions]

I've been pretty busy.

[@Valdagast]

TAG? The Transcendental Argument for God? I didn't know you were into apologetics, Brad.

[@Kaefer1973]

As a creep I find it agitating how sexist creeps give us normal creeps a bad name.

[@peateargryfin844]

I'm so glad you guys ripped the Wreck-It-Ralph 2 trailer a new asshole. That is the most self-indulgent cringefest I've seen in a very long time. It is incredible when you can make a trailer where every single joke is lampshading your own companies cliches. I lost it at that "Do people think all your problems are solved by a big strong man?" joke. Yes Disney, we know you used to use the "woman in danger" plot way too much in your old movies. It's the same issue I had with Bethesda doing that Skyrim: Super Special Edition trailer during E3. Yeah, you can joke until the sun comes down about you doing porting Skyrim to every console while ignoring your fan's request for Elder Scrolls 6, but your still the company that did that very thing for years.

[@JBWarner86]

I'm way less worried about Wreck-It Ralph 2 than either of you are. First of all, Disney trailers always kind of suck - Tangled, Frozen, Zootopia, they all had pretty shitty trailers and they turned out great. They sold the first Wreck-It Ralph exclusively on the cameos with barely any hint of a story, and this is no different. (Also, I guarantee the Knowsmore scene and the Oh My Disney scene are going to be nowhere near each other in the movie proper - trailers staple random scenes together like that all the time.) Second, Rich Moore is back as the director. The guy's a veteran of The Simpsons and Futurama, and he directed both the first Wreck-It Ralph and Zootopia, so he knows better than to make this movie just 90 minutes of Internet jokes and Disney references. We're in good hands here. I know people are still traumatized from The Emoji Movie, but that was Sony Pictures Animation, a studio without nearly as much creative ingenuity as Disney's got right now. Have a little bit of faith in these guys, c'mon.

[@SJSuperDetective]

If you think about it, Incredibles 2 is practically the same movie as God’s Not Dead 2. Both movies are about standing up for what you believe in.

[@ramsfan0868]

Never seen the first and never gonna see this one. I am just here to hear Brad BS.

[@BETTERNOTGOLIVEBOY]

First...love ya brad!

[@jman2856]

Didn’t really care much for this sequel unfortunately. There were too many subplots that either didn’t go anywhere interesting or got resolved as quickly as they were introduced. Dash gets nothing to do. This sequel apparently forgot that Violet went through a character arc in the first movie. Edna is reduced to a two scene cameo. The big villain twist was predictable. The villian’s overall motivation and plan doesn’t make any damn sense and feels so cookie cutter and generic compared to Syndrome’s motivation and plan in the original. Also, the third act sadly degernates into a bland, by the numbers superhero movie climax that ultimately end on such a thrown together note. Just stick with the original. It’s better written, smarter, and way more tighter than this dumpster fire of a follow up.

[@pavo1394]

The first movie was very well done, but it was also Atlas Shrugged for tykes so it gets a thumbs down from me..

[@benjamin_burke]

But who is John Galt?

[@kevingriffin8854]

Unsubscribe. Every one of your reviews has become jaded, and even though it's not intentionally negative, in a way more and more of your reviews are basically" I don't remember the first movie, but I don't like the sequel as much". For instance, super troopers 2. On top of that, you don't make me want to watch the movie for myself. This is no longer for me. Later.

[@StonedGremlinProductions]

Then it sounds like you've seen very little of our reviews. Several of our recent reviews are overwhelmingly positive. Check out our videos on Upgrade, Hereditary, Hotel Artemis, and our most recent one on Tag. We even liked Action Point, which everyone else hated.
