Twisters Movie Review: Transcendent Tornado Tale or Tepid Effects Teeming Trash?

Episode 89 of Watch Skip Plus answers whether a 28 year old film necessitated a sequel!

28 years after the original and wildly entertaining Twister was released (Special Effects! TV actors! Written by Michael Crichton! EP’d by Spielberg! Natural Disaster writ large!), Hollywood brain trusts got the idea for the ultimate oxymoron - “A standalone sequel”...with that GLEN POWELL guy! And so it goes: Twisters hits screens in a very “Top Gun: Maverick” style re-quel (listen to hear common denominator between both films) but is it worth a watch or a skip? Warning: the energy is high on this episode…so much so Cupcake completely forgets the ENTIRE format of the damn show!

In This Episode: 

• Emcee pluses sustainable things you slip on body parts..

• Cupcake talks digital timewasters 

• CAST GRAB IS BACK!

• Is this a great science/natural disaster film or dumber than a SyFy Phiranaconda flick?

• Q & Alex:  Contest Winning and making the news!

Twist and Shout….and Stop making Glen Powell happen!!!!!!
