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!

German Villegas from Modern Manhood returns to take on the macho cultural touchstone that is Top Gun. We attempt to find a better way for Tom Cruise to graduate from flight school, hopefully without being smarmy, grinning douche. Gregg and Scott are also on the flight deck, while up in the control tower resuming his hosting duties is Colin "Grouse" MacIntyre!
Can Top Gun be Top Fun? These and other terrible jokes this week on I Have Some Notes, members of the Alberta Podcast Network powered by ATB.

Fellow Alberta Podcast Network member German Villegas of Modern Manhood joins us for a chat about the torrent of sexual assault allegations spilling out of Hollywood and how masculinity is portrayed in movies. Yes, it's a bit less of the light-hearted affair you're used to when tuning into I Have Some Note, but we promise it's a fascinating listen and German provides some great insights. Besides, it would be weird to be doing a movie podcast and not acknowledge the depressing dumpster fire that is the entertainment industry.
Also, we welcome back Colin to the hosting chair!

In the future the polar ice caps have melted and the oceans cover every continent. It's a world of damp. A world of wet. A world…of water.
Waterworld, everybody! Whoo boy, this was a tough sit. Kevin Costner delivers a performance so subdued you'll think he's reading from a Shop Vac instruction manual. But no movie-fixing job is too tough for the Notesy Boys! I think we actually crushed it. In fact we spend a few minutes patting ourselves on the back about it.
Scott C. Bourgeois continues his stint as temp-host while Colin is away, Jeff Samsonow guest stars and Gregg is…also there.
Just FYI, the secret project Scott mentions at the end of the episode is no longer secret, go check out The Read Along where ever fine podcasts are sold!

It's our first Side Notes of Season 3 and we must have really missed doing these because it is a firehose of pop culture discussion. We touch on Blade Runner, MacGyver, MacGrubber, American Vandal, The Godfather, Citizen Kane, Planet of the Apes, China Town, Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Peep Show and *gasp for air* The Thick of It. Also drinking from the film fire hydrate are returning guests Jeff Samsonow of the Edmonton Quotient and Sally "No Plugs Required" Poulsen.

The wait is over. I Have Some Notes is back for its 3rd season of movie improving and we're returning with a series of firsts for the show. The first first is our first Bond film: Moonraker. Yes, the Bond movie that never heard the phrase "less is more." Italian murder caskets? Sure. Super boats? Two please. Space? You bet your ass! Second on the list of firsts is no Colin. Mr. MacIntyre is off being a new daddy and will miss a few episodes, but the talented Scott C. Bourgeois has volunteered to sit in his chair and keep it warm. The last, but probably most important first is that this is our first episode as a member of the Alberta Podcast Network powered by ATB Financial. We're stoked to be joining the Network and its fleet of amazing shows sailing through the digital airwaves. Big thanks to Karen Unland for all her hard work putting the network together and helping to make our passion project more sustainable. Alright, enough preamble. Please join Scott, Gregg, Anita and the hilarious Liam Creswick in fixing James Bond: The Moonrakening!

It's the season finalé of I Have Some Notes! Don't worry, we're not leaving you for the summer without giving you something a little something extra special, we're fixing Tom Cruise's The Mummy! Okay, okay, so that in and of itself is not particularly special. What is special is that this time Colin, Gregg, Scott and Mark tried to fix the film IMMEDIATELY after watching it in the theatre. No note taking, no chewing on the film for a few days, no deep movie meditation, no nothing! It's all strictly off the cuff for our season finalé. We hope you enjoy it, and we'll see you again soon in the fall.

Well, shoot, we better get Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard to wrangle up those rascals. Join Colin, Gregg, Scott and Anita as they try to refinish a movie that basically made all the money. But, hey, what do audiences know, right?

This month we're wading into the rebellious waters of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. A controversial pick, to be sure, a lot of you love this movie, but that doesn't mean we can tighten the screws a little bit. Plus comedian Liam Creswick joins the cast, and that alone is worth the price of admission. The price is free, by the way, cause we're a podcast. Making money in radio is for chumps! Where was I? Oh yes, the Star War. We examine the which candy the pips on Tarkin's uniform most resemble, lament the missed opportunity that was Saw Gerrera and quibble about the inclusion of past princesses. Enjoy!

Comedian Liam Creswick joins the cast as we discuss what we've been watching this past month, telling Marvel to please just say f**k or don't in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Gregg asks that you repeatedly watch the fantastic reboot of Mystery Science Theatre 3000 so Netflix will pick it up for a second season. The Void is Scott's choice for a horror movie that has that Thing thing, and Anita recommends singing along with…Sing! A Dreamworks animated feature starring Matthew McConaughey. Our next full episode will be out May 22nd, when we take on a rebellious little flick called ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY.
