Podcasts by I Have Some Notes

The Flash from 2023-11-30T19:52:57

The Flash is another in a long line of troubled DC movies. Although the core is simple and smart, director Andy Muschietti loses the handle to blockbuster bloat.

Fortunately, Scott has a ...

Mute (2018) from 2023-11-16T21:41:29

Ducan Jones' follow-up to Moon dropped, it barely made a sound. It remains one of the many Netflix original misses that have been scarcely seen – must less heard – by anyone. But hey, we were lo...

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari from 2023-11-02T20:13:14

This week we pitch modern remakes for the O.G. horror flick: The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. A classic of the Weimar Germany era of expressionist films, Dr. Caligari left an indelible mark on the h...

X (2022) from 2023-10-19T21:22:53

Ti West's X is honestly a pretty great horror/slasher movie, but would we let a quality film from A24 get in the way of our Monday morning sc...

UNLOCKED! Side Notes: How to Watch Movie Good from 2023-10-06T00:00

Originally a Patreon exclusive, we've unlocked this special Side Notes episode for all to enjoy: How to Watch Movie Good.

Making I Have Some Notes over the last eight years has really pus...

Shin Kamen Rider from 2023-09-21T21:39:37

As mentioned in our last episode, we intend to ride out the Hollywood strikes in solidarity with the WGA and SAG-AFTRA, so we may not be punching up American superhero movies for a while. Fortun...

The Brain That Wouldn’t Die from 2023-09-07T18:19:23

Did you miss us? Cause we definitely missed you! We're stoked to be back for another season of punching up movies, although this season will be slightly different.

As you know, the Writer...

The Core from 2023-06-23T00:01

For our season finalé, we really felt we wanted to get to the center of a science fiction film. You know, really drill down, bore out all the flaws, and mine some truly creative solutions.

This Changes Everything – A Conversation About Gender Disparity In Hollywood from 2023-06-08T20:33:48

Hollywood has a long dark history of discriminating against and abusing women, an issue thoroughly analyzed by the revealing 2018 documentary THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING. When Anita recently watched...

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness from 2023-05-25T18:53:36

It's fair to say the consensus amongst critics is that Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness needed more verses and madness, and that's a given in all of our notes. However, where MoM real...

Bullet Train from 2023-05-12T00:01

Bullet Train was not well received critically. When it sits at 54% on Rotten Tomatoes you can understand why we would look at it and say "Hey, the perfect movie for our podcast." And yet, this m...

Elysium from 2023-04-27T20:10:15

When we think of director Neill Blomkamp we think of District 9 and not a lot else. While the once up-and-coming director may be short on execution, he's never short on ideas.

Elysium is ...

Barbarian from 2023-04-14T00:01

Barbarian is a very good movie and we talk about it. Okay, now on to the important stuff.

For the last six years, I Have Some Notes has been privileged to be part of the Alberta Podcast N...

Judge Dredd (1995) from 2023-03-30T20:58:53

As 90's action schlock goes, Sylvester Stallone's Judge Dredd is probably better than you remember. The money is all on the screen with great sci-fi sets and a badass animatronic robot. However,...

John Dies at the End from 2023-03-16T22:16:31

John Dies at the End is a delightfully absurd horror comedy, or at least it would be if it had been better produced. Writer and Ph.D. candidate in Media and Cultural Studies, Pete Morley, joins ...

Thor: Love and Thunder from 2023-03-02T21:22:48

Bless the entertainment conglomerate Disney for churning out mediocre movie after middling movie that will keep this podcast well-supplied into the next decade. Perhaps century.

What film...

Don’t Worry Darling from 2023-02-16T21:04:41

Some movies are just made for our podcast. Don't Worry Darling is a beautiful, well-made movie that takes aim at misogyny and the patriarchy in interesting ways but juuuuuuuuust can't quite brin...

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze from 2023-02-02T20:32:57

You can have it fast, you can have it cheap, but you can't have it good. That is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze in a half shell. While not necessarily a bad film, this r...

M. Night Shyamalan’s Old from 2023-01-19T19:05:45

It is always a bummer when a movie has a killer premise and completely whiffs. M. Night Shyamalan is back on the show for a second time and up to his usual twisty shenanigans (Shyamanigans?). Th...

Favourite Films of 2022 from 2023-01-05T19:03:16

Happy New Year, fellow armchair screenwriters! We take a short break from rewriting mediocre movies to talk about some good ones that don't need any rewrites. Liam, Scott and Gregg discuss their...

Last Night in Soho from 2022-12-22T17:53:45

It's our final movie rewrite of 2022! We hope you're all having a safe, happy holiday curled up in front of the fire listening to us deconstruct and rebuild Edgar Wright's Last Night in Soho. Listen

Frozen from 2022-12-08T18:36:10

Kids movies! Fun light-hearted cinema full of catchy songs that get stuck in your head when your kid plays them over and over and over and sings along with them so loudly you can't think straigh...

The New Mutants from 2022-11-23T21:27:35

We've talked about mediocre X-Men films before, so for The New Mutants we decided to try something a little different. Returning guests and X-Men experts Robyn Slack ( Listen

Ghostbusters: Afterlife from 2022-10-13T21:33:49

Ghotbusters: Afterlife may devolve into a cynical cavalcade of nostalgia, but boy what a ride. Glenna Schowalter of the Slugblaster play alon...

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider from 2022-09-29T20:20:08

As we all know video game movies are notorious for being great. They are among the most well-written and thoughtful blockbuster movies Hollywood produces, especially in the earlier 2000s when th...

Morbius - LIVE! from 2022-09-18T21:20:54

It was amazing to see all you armchair screenwriters in chat for our LIVE broadcast of Morbius! For those of you who missed while it was live the episode is archived on

Please join us on Friday, S...

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker from 2022-06-26T23:34:10

Season finale we have reached. Fix A bad movie, we will. 

It’s been seven seasons of playing armchair screenwriter on this show, but I dare say no movie has evoked as much emotion and exa...

Ocean’s 8 from 2022-06-12T22:03:21

Danica LeBlanc, Anita Bourgeois, and Erin Beever ...

Cloud Atlas from 2022-05-29T21:48:04

Cloud Atlas is an ambitious film about the ties that bind us through the passage of time. It is thoughtful and expertly edited. Does it deserve to be picked apart in the traditional I Have Some ...

Cruella from 2022-05-15T21:08:53

For our 101st movie fix, Cruella, because here at I Have Some Notes we allow numerical coincidence to dictate the show. In all honesty, Cruella was a pretty good time. It wasn't the least notes ...

100 Movie Fixes! Batman from 2022-05-08T23:13:41

We have officially fixed 100 movies, and still no calls from any Hollywood execs. This is a free service we're providing here, you'd think they'd at least reach out and say "thank you", especial...

Side Notes - Our Movie Pitches from 2022-04-21T13:38:45

You've heard us talk about fixing a lot of movies, how about our own movie pitches? We've got great ideas, but Hollywood isn't returning our calls, so now we're giving them away for free! Return...

Robot Jox from 2022-04-03T21:53:21

Robot Jox spent its budget on some cutting-edge special effects for 1989, and not much else. While the giant mechs looked great, the robot choreography itself was a bit dull. But that aside we f...

Robocop (2014) from 2022-03-20T18:08:04

A classic 80s character is stripped apart and rebuilt by the modern-day Hollywood machine. Robocop may not have been the most cynical of reboot cash grabs, but it certainly missed many of the op...

Big Daddy from 2022-03-06T19:57:34

If you grew up in the 90s Adam Sandler probably had a large influence on your sense of humour. He likely did not have a large influence on you as an eventual parent, however. While Big Daddy was...

Highlander II: The Quickening from 2022-02-21T19:17:32

Highlander II was so efficient at burning the goodwill of its fanbase George Lucas took it as a personal challenge, and that's how we got The Phantom Menace. We're not exactly Hollywood historia...

Eternals from 2022-02-07T19:13:26

We're diving back into the MCU once again for Marvel's Studios The Eternals, a film rich in characters and short on development. The Note-ernals take passes at spreading the dense plot out over ...

Armageddon from 2022-01-24T17:38:22

One good asteroid movie deserves another, we always say. For the second time in a row, we're tackling a planet-killing plot device, this time of the Michael Bay variety. Truly there was one simp...

Don’t Look Up from 2022-01-09T21:20:21

Not since our Interstellar episode have we spent more time praising a film than giving it notes. Don't Look Up may have been polarizing with audiences, but for the hosts of this show, it was a u...

Side Notes: Favourites&Disappointments of 2020/21 from 2021-12-21T20:46:06

We typically use our last show in December to sum up the best and worst movies of the year. However, we skipped the tradition last year and, thanks to a certain mutating virus, haven't been able...

Love Actually from 2021-12-05T21:24:30

Love Actually is every kind of romantic comedy you want it to be. It’s got star-crossed lovers, it’s got love triangles and it’s even got your classic 90s style sex romp. Anita Bourgeois of Listen

Kingsman: The Golden Circle from 2021-11-21T15:55:11

Kingsman: The Golden Circle is a deeply flawed film, which should make it the perfect fodder for our show, but can it be too flawed? Matthew Vaughn really stretched our capacity and desire to re...

Sucker Punch from 2021-11-07T21:09:06

However you feel about Zack Snyder, there is no denying he is a rich vein for movie podcasts such as ours. In fact, Man of Steel was the movie that inspired the creation of this show. While we'v...

Side Notes: What Makes Good Creepy Cinema? from 2021-10-24T18:20:35

Horror aficionado Glenna Schowalter joins us for a deep dive into the genre exploring what makes it tick. Is it the suspense? The scares? The atmosphere? The inventive R-rated kills? It will var...

Event Horizon from 2021-10-16T18:29:08

Paul W.S. Anderson had to wait an extra week for our Event Horizon episode, but we promise, Paul, it was worth the wait. Big thanks for Olav Rokne for saving our skin at the 11th hour, subbing i...

Charlie‘s Angels (2019) from 2021-09-26T20:20:18

The all listener curated season continues, and for some reason you picked Charlie's Angels (2019). I love you, listeners, even if I don't understand you. Thankfully, Stephanie Chan! With Steph's help, we took Wonder Woman 1984's gnarly script and  cr...

ANNOUNCEMENT: Live Broadcast Friday, July 30 @ 9PM MDT from 2021-07-25T10:52:30

Pokémon: Detective Pikachu from 2021-04-18T19:42:14

Plot holes…gotta catch 'em all! This week we're joined by celebrated musician, sketch comedy artist and newly minted podcaster, Robyn Slack, ...

Zack Snyder's Justice League from 2021-04-04T20:12:13

A behemoth of a movie requires a behemoth of an episode, so strap yourself in armchair screenwriters! If you had the stamina for Zack Snyder's Justice League surely you can survive 90 minutes of...

Blues Brothers 2000 from 2021-03-21T22:32:27

Blues Brothers 2000 is our first foray into Saturday Night Live movies, and it will likely stand as the most challenging to rewrite. Dan Aykroyd gave us precious little to work with, for a movie...

Pitch Black from 2021-03-07T19:58:21

Pitch Black is a movie I dare say most of us remember fondly. After all, it gave us Vin Diesel, and what would the movie going world be like without that living pile of muscle? But, as with ever...

Da Vinci Code from 2021-02-21T20:12:32

Sometimes when I walk away from watching a film for the show I'm not certain it will turn out to be a great episode. The Da Vinci Code is kind of bland and felt like it might not be that excitin...

Robin Hood from 2021-02-07T16:09:30

Take the first draft of your script, hire an A-list cast, sprinkle in some Guy Ritchie and voila! You've got a Robin Hood.

Trouble is, will anyone watch it? They might have if only they h...

The Great Gatsby (2013) from 2021-01-24T22:11:18

The thing you have to appreciate about a director like Baz Luhrmann is that he doesn't make boring films. Regardless of the finished product's quality, there will always be plenty to talk about....

Demolition Man from 2021-01-10T21:12:35

We've been released from our cryogenic prison blocks to bring you an all new episode of an old classic. Are movies from the 90s considered classic now? Don't say yes, I want to maintain some ill...

Side Notes - The Movies/Show That Helped Us Survive 2020 from 2020-12-24T11:24

Ah ha! Fooled you. You thought we were done making pod for the year, and BAM! New Side Notes! It's a Christmas miracle, if you really stretch the definition of a miracle…and we are. We got toge...

Skyscaper from 2020-11-05T19:22

Skyscraper, finally! Yes, I know we're late on this one, sometimes life gets in the way of rewriting Hollywood blockbusters with friends. However, the show is here now, and we want to thank you ...

Christine from 2020-10-19T21:43:03

Christine is not a movie about a talking car, that's the first thing I learned watching it. It is a John Carpenter film. And while his skilled fingerprints are all over this movie, overall this ...

Side Notes: The Social Dilemma&Feels Good Man from 2020-10-04T22:10:59

We recently watched two heavy social media related documentaries, The Social Dilemma and

Dungeons&Dragons from 2020-09-08T21:13:06

September marks the beginning of season six of I Have Some Notes. Six seasons, where does the time go? What is time? I seriously don't know anymore.

Speaking of milestones, we pass 100 ep...

The Old Guard from 2020-08-23T21:32:24

The Old Guard is a pretty decent movie…there, the end, no need to listen to the show! I suppose if you missed the dulcet tones of our voices, we’ve got some tweaks that might be fun to consider....

X-Men: Dark Phoenix from 2020-08-09T20:37:41

A listener recently asked if we've done an X-Men film yet, and we thought to ourselves: Wow, what an excellent untapped franchise! Of course, what better film for us to tackle than the worst one...

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom from 2020-07-26T20:56:42

Indiana Jones, beloved cultural icon and with a fan base that spans generations, surely suggesting rewrites to a sacred franchise will go over well on the internet.

Liam, Scott and Gregg ...

Tron: Legacy from 2020-07-12T22:32:53

We're back from a brief hiatus! Hope the armchair screenwriting community got along without us, we certainly missed you.

This week we're programming updates for the TRON: LEGACY, Walt Dis...

Programming Note from 2020-06-14T21:40:53

Sorry, everyone, the newest episode has been postponed. In the wake of the horrific murder of George Floyd and the massive protests that followed, now doesn’t feel like the time to riff on medi...

Dante's Peak from 2020-05-31T20:02:01

At the height of their careers, Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton joined forces for an explosive disaster movie that had all the trappings of a certified hit. Unfortunately the box office did no...

Alita: Battle Angel from 2020-05-25T08:58:13

James Cameron spent years trying to put a live action version of Alita: Battle Angel up on the silver screen, and once he finally did it took us less than an hour to tell him all the things he c...

Aladdin (2019) from 2020-05-19T22:21:31

Hey, do you love Aladdin? Do you love the Genie and Carpet and Abu? Well now they’re back, in soulless live-action remake form! Hooray.

This episode takes a few twists and turns as we dis...

Side Notes - Ask Us Anything from 2020-05-10T22:22:29

We asked you to send us your questions for the I Have Some Notes crew, and holy crap did you deliver! We spent this week’s episode covering topics from how COVID-19 will affect movie theatres to...

Life (2017) from 2020-05-03T20:04:08

Life is a movie from 2017 that nobody watched, which makes it perfect podcast material, right? Look, we’re wannabe screenwriters, not wannabe marketing experts. It’s honestly pretty decent, tho...

Evolution from 2020-04-26T19:59:08

This week we take a microscope to the 2001 blockbuster attempt, Evolution. Liam, Scott and Gregg recoil in horror as they watch a decent sci-fi premise turned unnecessarily into a wacky goof-bal...

Hudson Hawk from 2020-04-20T22:02:27

What happens when you combine unchecked cinematic ambition with a the world's entire supply of cocaine? You get easily Bruce Willis' strangest (and possible best) film of his career.

Power Rangers (2017) from 2020-03-16T10:34:09

It's a crazy time on this little blue ball of ours, so we hope we can provide you with a little distraction by reimagining the 2017 remake of Power Rangers. Thanks to listener Thomas Meehan for ...

You've Got Mail from 2020-03-01T21:15:12

We have yet to tackle a romantic comedy here at the I Have Some Notes studios – a.k.a. Gregg's basement – and for our first rom-com punch up we decided to examine perhaps the greatest on screen ...

Reign of Fire from 2020-02-17T22:28:54

Before the Matthew McConaissance or the Christain Balevolution or even the Gerard Butleration, there was Reign of Fire. This 2002 dragon apocalypse blockbuster had it all: a killer concept, an e...

Iron Man 2 from 2020-02-02T22:10:50

We haven't put many Marvel movies through the notes process, and none from the MCU era. While Marvel has certainly been the more successful brand of comics-turn-movie, they are not flawless. Tha...

Side Notes: Top 10 of the Decade Aftermath from 2020-01-05T22:00

After wrapping up our discussion on the best movies of the 2010s we kept the mics on to continue the conversation on the decade that was. We discuss the impact of the biggest tentpole films, tou...

Side Notes: Top 10 Films of the Decade from 2019-12-23T17:00

The decade is over! Yes, the calendar is about to roll over to 2020, you are 10 years older than you were and have lived through another era of movies. As with the end of all eras, it's time to ...

Dune from 2019-12-09T23:00

Frank Herbert's Dune is a novel of intense size and scope, and somehow Hollywood, in their infinite hubris, felt they could condense it all into a single 3 hour movie. The only thing more egotis...

30 Minutes or Less from 2019-11-24T23:00

On August 28th, 2003, pizza delivery driver Brian Wells was jumped, forced to wear a bomb and told to rob a bank or the bomb would be detonated. He tragically died after failing to complete the ...

The Scorpion King from 2019-11-11T22:00

We have long been told that "The Rock is Perfect," but is he? This week we put Dwayne's appeal to the ultimate test, can it survive barely 90 minutes of extremely mild sword and sandals action? ...

Freddy vs. Jason from 2019-10-27T19:00

We didn't so much choose to watch Freddy vs. Jason as it was inflicted upon us. For that we have our good friend Tony from Flicks X-rayed to thank. Tony b...

Wild Wild West from 2019-10-14T21:00

Well, this is one movie we are not giggy with. Nineties movies typically have some bad taste jokes we’ve long since learned are not appropriate, but like an oddly placed giant mechanical spider,...

Rotten Tomator Prognosticator Finale from 2019-10-02T21:00

You may remember, back in March, we started a friendly wager amongst our fellow podcasters to see who could best predict the quality of 2019's summer blockbusters. "March?!" I can hear you say, ...

Kong: Skull Island from 2019-09-15T21:00

Our listeners can be forgiven for thinking at this point that we hate the giant monster genre. After all, we've already taken Pacific Rim and Godzilla to the rewriters room, and now we're doing ...

Speed Racer from 2019-09-02T12:00

Side Notes - The Best of Colin MacIntyre from 2019-08-20T22:00

Last month Colin retired as host of I Have Some Notes, so we decided for our bonus Side Notes episode we would salute the man who's given us so many laughs over these past three years. With that...

The Green Lantern from 2019-08-04T23:00

The Green Lantern has got Blake Lively in it and not much else. We're used to watching some colourless DC comic book movies around here, but Green Lantern might be the drabbest. However, the bla...

The Dark Knight Rises from 2019-07-21T22:00

Yup, we're criticizing another DC movie in The Dark Knight Rises. If at this point you feel like we're just picking on DC film it would be hard for me to disagree, because we're even rewriting t...

Olympus Has Fallen from 2019-07-07T22:00

The White House is being attacked by North Korean terrorists who are setting the monument ablaze. You're probably thinking "good, let it burn", but this script is pre-2016, back when it was occu...

The Net from 2019-06-23T22:00

In 1995 the internet was a new, fledgling technology and baby boomer screenwriters were super scared of it. They imagined a world in which all your information is stored online by a giant, nefar...

Secret Life of Pets from 2019-06-09T22:00

For the first time we set our sights on a 3D animated kids movie, proving that no film is beyond the reach of our desire to cynically rewrite Hollywood's most popular movies.

Interstellar from 2019-05-27T23:00

Christopher Nolan may be the most prolific and successful blockbuster filmmaker of our generation, so naturally we felt the need to pick apart one of his movies. His films are brilliant, fun and...

Godzilla (2014) from 2019-05-12T23:00

This episode has been a long time coming. Years back, when Colin and Gregg sat down at the Route 99 Diner to hammer out a new movie podcast, Godzilla was on the early list of film to go through ...

Star Trek: Insurrection from 2019-04-28T23:00

Once a year we look to the stars for another Star Trek movie to fix, and this year it is Star Trek: Insurrection's turn. Admiral Beever, Captain Bourgeois and Acting Ensign Colin MacIntyre lock ...

Transformers (2007) from 2019-04-14T21:00

You knew this was coming. At some point we were going to get around to Michael Bay's bombastic robot punch fest, Transformers. It was inevitable. 

None of your hosts wanted to watch this ...

Side Notes - We Have to Talk Ghostbusters…Again from 2019-03-16T23:00

Sigh, Ghostbusters was back in the news last month and once again it was for all the wrong reasons as Jason Reitman bungled the roll out of his entry into the franchise. Luckily Danica LeBlanc a...

Barbarella from 2019-03-03T00:00

Ah, sci-fi in the sixties, sexually liberated, costumes changes abound, and not a single plot thread connected to another. It's hard to fathom why things ever changed, today's "modern" sci-fi is...

Side Notes: What Makes a Good Bad Movie? from 2019-02-20T00:00

What is it about bad movies that are so much fun? Why do we take so much delight in someone else's failure? How is it that Tommy Wiseau is beloved for his badness?

Robin Taylor from Listen

Sudden Death from 2019-02-03T00:00

Once upon a time, movie studios saw Jean-Claude Van Damme as an action star they could build a big budget action blockbuster around. Studios would say, "Hey, let's rent out the Pittsburg Penguin...

Jingle All the Way from 2018-12-10T00:00

We don't like to assign blame around here, but this episode is all your fault. We could've watching Home Alone: 2, or Paul Giamatti in Fred Claus but no, you made us watch Jingle All the Way. Th...

Spider-man 3 from 2018-11-25T20:00

Ghostbusters: Answer the Call from 2018-10-27T23:00
