Man on Film: Is Ella McKay As Good As It Gets?

Ella McCay tries to channel that James L. Brooks magic from As Good As It Gets — but baby, this one barely gets past the trailers.

Jamie Lee Curtis? On autopilot. Woody Harrelson? Playing Cheers reruns. And our lead? Bless her heart — she’s giving us neurodivergent meets political ambition with a side of awkward daddy issues.

We wanted Erin Brockovich, but we got lukewarm latte and cozy flute music from 1997. We’re talking messy scandals, anti-climactic arcs, and the same soundtrack you cried to 25 years ago.

So the real question is:

Is Ella McKay… as good as it gets?

Or should we all be sending James L. Brooks an invoice?

Two snaps. Salty ones.

HAMNET Edition OF MAN ON FILM REVIEW

It’s RAINING, MAN – and this time we’re in Elizabethan England… kind of.

On this episode of MAN ON FILM, I dive into HAMNET – the “historical fiction but don’t quote us” love story inspired by Shakespeare’s real life… maybe. We’re talking Paul Mescal’s rising–star energy fresh off Gladiator II, witchy wives giving forest–witch vibes, sick twins, and a whole lot of “is this supernatural or did y’all just make that up?”

I break down:

• Why I gave HAMNET a solid B / 4 sweaty Gladiator snaps
• The wild choice to remix Shakespeare’s family life like it’s MCU Phase Four
• How grief, work, art, and messy relationships smash into each other
• Why this is a perfect date movie if you want deep convo after… and a terrible choice if you came for swords, blood, and Hamlet himself

No swoony TikTok fake-deep review here – just me, solo in the theater, telling you what worked, what dragged, and why the supernatural “Death in the corner of the room” stuff had me waiting for Vecna to show up.

Tap in, argue with me, and tell me:

Is HAMNET genius cinema or beautifully shot fanfic?

“Hamlet?”

Nah, baby – HAMNET. The fanfic cousin with Paul Mescal in a blouse and everybody catching feelings (and the plague).

New MAN ON FILM episode just dropped

I’m breaking down:

• Paul Mescal’s “young Maximus” energy
• Witch–wife, sick twins & Shakespeare on the grind
• That weird supernatural death-in-the-corner moment
• Why I gave it a B / 4 snaps – great date movie, not so great if you came for things blowing up

If you want:

Big tragic love

Forest magic & family drama

Shakespeare remixed like prestige fanfiction

…this one’s for you.

Then pull up in the comments and tell me…

HAMNET: masterpiece or beautifully lit mess?

Because on MAN ON FILM…

It’s always raining MEN.

Acast Podcast Description — MAN ON FILM: “Rental Family”

WELCOME back to the greatest movie show on Earth — MAN ON FILM — where the popcorn is hot, the opinions are hotter, and it’s ALWAYS raining MEN.

This week, we’re reviewing Rental Family, starring Oscar-winner Brendan Fraser, in a film that dives deep into loneliness, connection, Japanese culture… and some extremely questionable parenting choices.

Join me (and the always-sleepy-but-always-precise Mr. Carvaccio) as we break down:

Brendan Fraser’s beautifully chaotic return

How Japan REALLY handles rental-family culture

The ethics of hiring strangers to pretend to love you

Why the mom in this movie deserves jail time or at least supervised WiFi

Whether this film is deep, delusional, or both

We introduce our upgraded A–F grading system, break down the film beat-by-beat, and argue about whether this movie is touching and tender… or touching and tender and slightly unhinged.

FINAL GRADE:

C+ — A charming, offbeat, well-acted emotional study with a sprinkle of “Ma’am, you cannot tell your daughter that random white man is her father.”

If you’re into heartfelt performances, culture-driven stories, or just watching me emotionally spiral on mic, this episode is for you.

Press play. Laugh with us. Cry with Brendan.

Because on MAN ON FILM…

It’s always raining MEN.

“Eternity” has landed, and A24 Studios once again aims straight for the heart—and hits it, hard. Miles Teller, Elizabeth Olsen, and Caleb Turner star in a thought-provoking rom-com-meets-sci-fi fantasy that’s sure to spark some strong feelings (and maybe a few tears). Directed by the talented David Franey, this film had our hosts feeling every emotion under the sun—especially outrage! (In the best possible way.)

From the witty writing to divine performances by Divine Joy Randolph and John Early Ryan, “Eternity” keeps you guessing (and gasping). What happens when the afterlife hands you a second chance at love—and you have eternity to get it right or epically wrong?

Expect laughs, some intense snapping (the juicy twin kind!), and debates about the choices we’d make in love and eternity. Did Elizabeth Olsen choose the wrong Olsen sister to handle her love triangle? Will our hosts forgive her questionable afterlife decisions? And most importantly—why is everybody crying (and why are the theaters suddenly out of tissues)?

Tune in for savage, sassy commentary, thought-provoking takes, and a dive into the messy morals of eternal love. Spoiler alert: Our hosts have a LOT to say.

Rating: 4 Juicy Twin Snaps!

Spoilers included, so grab your popcorn and tissues!

MAN ON FILM:🍿 ZOOTOPIA 2 MOVIE REVIEW

“Zootopia 2: The Movie That Made Me Ask… ‘Wait, Should Animals Be Dating?’ ”

ZOOTOPIA 2 Fresh-out-the-DISNEY-oven, Thanksgiving-weekend heavyweight: - directed by Jared Bush and starring Jason Bateman, Ginnifer Goodwin, and enough adorable animals to fill Noah’s Ark twice.

But listen…

Join me as we spotlight

Some interesting things.

And I came out with questions, not trauma.

This episode covers:

The new MAN ON FILM grading system (A–F, like school — but funnier)

Why Zootopia 2 gets a solid C

How Disney somehow made a buddy-cop world feel like an episode of The Bachelor: Animal Kingdom

A lamb villain who returns like she’s auditioning for “Thanos: The Musical”

A fox and a bunny with chemistry so spicy I had to check if this movie was PG-13

And the moment I realized Disney might just be trolling us in 4K

Don’t get me wrong — Mouse House, if you’re listening, I love you.

I adore you.

I would work for you.

I will even wear the Mickey ears in the office orientation video.

This is all comedy. I promise.

(Put me in Marvel. I’ll behave. Maybe.)

FINAL GRADE:

Zootopia 2 gets a C = Cute, Colorful, and Could’ve Given Me a Little More Plot, Babe.

Three tight, well-manicured SNAPS.

If you disagree?

Great. Come argue with me.

That’s half the fun.

Because here on MAN ON FILM, in the great courtroom of popcorn and opinions…

I’m the Judge of the Ark.

And it’s raining men, baby.

Zootopia 2

MAN ON FILM

Press play. Laugh. Explain to your kids why those animals were flirting.
