The Reel Thing for August 2, 2016

-Box office numbers are in, and Bourne is back with the top spot, but is the film Jason Bourne worth the damn we were giving about it at the beginning of the summer movie season?
-Mark went to see Guns N’ Roses this past weekend in Orlando and argues that the song You Could Be Mine is the baddest motherfucking song that’s ever been in a movie (not really an argument, more of an observation as Chris agrees)
-Donald Trump continues to be awful to everyone, including stealing music from dead Hollywood composer Jerry Goldsmith
-We talk 90’s movies and reboots coming your way, including how Mark is going to be having an aquatic movie marathon thanks to Waterworld and Splash, and the Rocketeer is now a black chick? Huh??
-Michael Keaton, we salute you for your career choices (aka being against a Beetlejuice sequel) and your long overdue star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame
-If hate were people, Mark would be China thanks to the movie Grease, and Chris discusses his distaste of Big Fish and recent Wes Anderson films (CUE THE KINKS!)
