Episode notes
Spy Competence Kills Suspense
- Bridehard fails because it treats a spy protagonist as omnipotent, removing suspense and undermining the Die Hard parody premise.
- The film never builds contrast between her spy life and bridesmaid role, flattening comedy and stakes.
Unexplained Accent Sticks Out
- Elliott and Stuart note Rebel Wilson's thick Australian accent feels unexplained in-character.
- They joke that her spy should blend in better yet she sticks out as a tourist stereotype.
Chopped Opening Undercuts Emotion
- The movie's opening feels chopped and relies on name chyrons rather than establishing characters or relationships.
- That abrupt exposition makes viewers unsure who to care about or why events matter.
