Cheerful Ghost Radio Episode 18 : The Cloverfield Paradox

Netflix surprised everyone with the trailer for The Cloverfield Paradox during the Super Bowl, and released it that night! We were excited to see the next Cloverfield installment, and equally excited to talk about it.

Does Paradox live up to previous Cloverfield movies? Do we find out where the monster came from in the original Cloverfield? Did someone spill Slusho on the particle accelerator causing a dystopian reality where the Slusho Corporation controls the Earth? Find out in this episode of Cheerful Ghost Radio!

This movie sucked. Here is what I didn't like about it:

Bad acting

Pretty much all the characters are under developed/I didn't care for

Things that made no sense

Felt too rushed

It put me to sleep

I am pretty easy going on movies, but this one stunk.

For me, there's no movie I *have* to go see in the theater (other than Ready Player One. I think I do need to see that in a theater lol). Seeing Star Wars movies is about seeing the movie with friends, but we could just as easily meet up at someone's house if it first came out streaming somewhere. I love that movies are having more release options, and it doesn't feel like a "lesser" release anymore. It's not like the old days of "straight to video" releases lol.

I've not seen TCP, but I did really enjoy the original Cloverfield. Just never got around to 10 Cloverfield Lane. And after watching and really not liking Bright, when I saw TCP getting a lot of negative reviews, I've already forgotten about the movie (other than being reminded by your podcast). Some day, I might flip to it when scrolling around Netflix, but honestly, I doubt it.

And I really want to watch The Room sometime!

You’ve gotta see The Room. It’s a sight to behold.

And The Disaster Artist, the story of how The Room was made, is pretty great too.

I’m watching The Room right now. Lots to say. Most of it negative and I love bad movies.

From what I've heard, it's best watched with a group of people lol
