Join Liam Creswick, Gregg Beever, and Scott C. Bourgeois as they examine Hollywood’s most mediocre movies and attempt to rewrite a better film. How could the Man of Steel be less of a Man of Heel? What could Ghostbusters II have done to make bustin’ feel good again? What could have made Star Trek: Generations a film for a…generation? All these answers and more on I HAVE SOME NOTES!

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 occupied by someone worthy of respect and you might have cheered Gerard Butler on save it.
And save it he does, in the blandest, most mind-numbingly average way possible.
But not to worry, Colin, Gregg and Scott hold cabinet positions in the Department of Movie Fixing. We do a White House tear Down and raise the I Have Some Notes flag over top the house we rebuilt in its place.

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, nefarious software company who can use your data against you. Crazy boomers, so paranoid.
Of course today the internet is a totally safe place for everyone, a place where we can look back at Sandra Bullock's THE NET and laugh. HA HA…ha…ha………
Abdul Malik of the Kino Lefter podcast joins Colin, Gregg and Scott to upload a patch for this 90's "thriller".

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.
Colin, Gregg and Scott peak inside the Secret Life of Pets to find weak motivations and convenient plot devices and together discover they're wasting their lives. How has it come to this, seriously discussing the merits of a Louis C.K. dog movie?

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 inventive, but they aren't perfect. There's always room for improvement, and who better to launch a reimagined Interstellar into the atmosphere than a rag tag crew of middle-aged, arm-chair screen writers? No one, that's who.

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 the notes process. How it took us 4 years to get to it is anyone's guess. Let's say a health fear of giant, city destroying monsters.
But good kaiju movies come to those who wait, and we've got some atomic fixes for this Gareth Edwards monster mash. Now smash that play button!

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 and load for a battle with sci-fi mediocrity.
We keep picking on Next Generation movies, for good reason, they aren't great. But we've only got one more to go, and then we're one to other Trek movies. I've personally go my phasers locked on those J.J. Abrams films.

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 movie. It's long, it's obnoxious, and it assaults all your senses all of the time. The things we do for our audience.
Spoiler alert: the first cut we make is Michael Bay. Not particularly surprising, but you may find some of our other keeps, cuts and changes surprising.

Summer blockbuster season is upon us and we're back with another critic score prediction show, the Rotten Tomater Prognosticator. This year, not only will Colin, Gregg and Scott be competing to be crowned the Nostradamus of movie quality predicting, but they'll also be contending with fellow podcasters from the PS2J Show, Flicks X-rayed, Modern Manhood, Emily Missed Out and Repodcasting podcasts.
Follow the LEADER BOARD HERE!
The Rules
Each contestant guesses the final Rotten Tomatoes ratings for an agreed upon list of summer blockbuster movies. Scores are determined by the difference between the guess and the final score of each movie.
For example, if I guess Avengers: Endgame will land at 80% and the actual Rotten Tomatoes rating is 90%, my score is 10.
At the end of the summer we tally all the scores, and whoever has the lowest total is deemed the most accurate, and the winner!
The Prize
In addition to all the prestige and glory, the winner will get to select a movie the losers must watch and either live Tweet, or record an episode on.
So tune into the episode to hear all of Colin, Gregg and Scott's wild guesses and rationals for such guesses. Are they out to lunch? Are they spot on? Hit us on the social medias and let us know what you think.

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 and Anita Bourgeois stopped by to help us work through our exhausted frustrations.
This episode also marks an I Have Some Notes first, Gregg is sitting in the host chair. Don't worry, he felt just as uncomfortable with it as you do. Colin will be back in two weeks, so you can relax.

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 so fixated on being "coherent" and "understood."
Pssshah! I say.
Danica LeBlanc, Anita Bourgeois and Erin Beever are back to break down the psychedelic mess that is Barbarella. Together they relish in its beautiful set design and ponder its plethora of literal boob windows.
