Season 4 Episode 43 - Aired 11/2/2020
The Twilight Saga took the world by storm and became an incredibly successful movie franchise. The “love story” between Edward Cullen and Bella Swan was one for the ages. Maybe. Probably not. Unwilling to give up on some extra cash, Hollywood actually decided to split up the final Twilight book into two movies: Breaking Dawn Part 1 and 2. Both movies raise a lot of questions. Like why was this made into two movies?! Like why didn’t Edward and Bella push their honeymoon back a little? How did Edward get Bella pregnant? Why is everybody so mad about this baby? How is Bella so good at being a newborn vampire? What’s going on with the baby’s face, and why did Jacob immediately fall in love with it? Was the only entertaining scene of this whole franchise really just a vision?

Season 4 Episode 50 - Aired 12/20/2020
Christopher Nolan is one of the best directors working today, and one of the few filmmakers who still makes high budget original movies. With movies like Inception, Dunkirk, Interstellar and more under his belt, he’s firmly established himself as one of the most visionary directors of our generation. That being said, TENET is super confusing. TENET is awesome to look at, but raises a lot of questions. Like what are the exact implications of moving backwards through time? Why is the music so much louder than the vocal tracks? What is going on? Why does The Protagonist spend an hour going from conversation to conversation? Who are those army guys shooting at? This movie makes sense, right?

HBO Max decided to dive into the adult animation arena with VELMA, the Scooby Doo spinoff from Mindy Kaling. Despite negative reviews from pretty much everyone, the show seems to be the talk of the Internet. Or maybe that’s because of them… Velma definitely raises some questions. Like where’s Scooby Doo in the Scooby Doo show? Why is every single character just a completely different person than the character they’re based on? Why is everyone so mean? Why does everyone love Velma? Why are they trying so hard to be snarky and meta? To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Velma.

After decades, the Halloween saga is coming to an end. Again. In a different way, and like in a different timeline? Don’t worry about it too much– the point is, Michael Myers is BACK. Kind of. Actually he’s not really in this movie, but he’s definitely on the posters and in the trailers. So that’s pretty cool! Halloween Ends definitely raises some questions. Like why, in this movie marketed as the epic final showdown between Michael Myers and Laurie Strode, are we spending 90% of our time with a new dude named Corey? Why did Michael go from being an unstoppable force of evil in the last movie to being a weak old man living in the sewer? Why is Laurie living so calmly and casually now that Michael Myers has killed her daughter and is roaming free somewhere? To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to the Halloween Ends!

Season 4 Episode 42 - Aired 10/26/2020
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, based on the Roald Dahl book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a classic movie that audiences still come back to today since its release in 1971. Starring Gene Wilder as the wacky (sometimes terrifying) factory owner Willy Wonka, the movie is full of yummy-looking candy and the occasional terrifying imagery. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory definitely raises lots of questions. Like what’s up with Grandpa Joe suddenly getting out of bed after being stuck there for twenty years? Why is that Candy Man just throwing candy at kids? Did Wonka know that one of the kids was going to fall into the chocolate river? What was up with that boat scene? Are these kids going to be okay?

Season 5 Episode 29 - Aired 7/20/2021
Space Jam starring Michael Jordan was one of the definitive kid's movies of the 1990s and became an international hit. Naturally, Hollywood has wanted to make a sequel for a long time, but it’s no easy task. Who is an all-star athlete who is not only popular enough to not only carry a movie but fit it into their busy all-star athlete schedule? The answer is apparently: Lebron James. Space Jam: A New Legacy definitely raises some questions. Like why are there so many Warner Bros properties in this thing? Why doesn’t Lebron try a little harder to recruit non-Looney Tunes characters? How did his son get that incredible scanning technology? How would winning a basketball game change anything for Al G Rhythm if he’s already made history by teleporting thousands of people into a server? Who are these Matrix references for? How did Bugs Bunny survive? Why are the Clockwork Orange guys here?

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 is the beginning of the final adventure for Harry and the gang as they set off to destroy a bunch of Horcruxes and do a WHOLE lot of camping. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 does raise some questions. Like why did all the good guys think that having a massive party at a house that was already destroyed by Death Eaters was a good idea? And where did Harry get that mirror shard? And how thick is this dude’s plot armor? How many wildly different functions do these magical do-hickeys have?

It’s already been eight years since Paul Rudd joined the MCU as Ant-Man, and this third movie in the series sees him kicking off Phase 5. So with Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Marvel really had to start this new phase off with a bang. While some may argue that they didn’t succeed in that, one thing is for sure: they kicked it off with some naked MODOK butt. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania definitely raises some questions. Like why did Janet keep such a big secret from everyone for SO LONG into the movie? What’s going on with MODOK’s face? If Kang is the big bad of the next two phases, why did we just watch him get beat up by some bugs? Did anything really change after this movie?

Keanu Reeves had a global hit with his action-packed movie The Matrix, and none of his movies since then really lived up to how amazing it was. That is, until John Wick rolled around in 2014. This action-packed shooter with a simple plot became a surprise hit and introduced the world to some awesome gun-fu action. The movie does raise a few questions though! Like how did they manage to get the producers to get off their back about worldbuilding details and love interests? How does anyone feel safe at the Continental Hotel? Why didn’t Viggo stick around to make sure his men took care of John Wick, and why did John make a deal with Viggo just moments later? Also, why didn’t anyone Google Baba Yaga?

Jaws is known as one of the best movies of all time. So if a studio upped the stakes by a million percent, that should be even better right? What if thousands of sharks were caught up in a tornado and started eating everyone? Sharknado raises a ton of questions. Like why does it exist? Who thought that such a high concept movie would work with such a low budget? Why is it alway sunny during this hurricane? How are these sharks alive? How will dropping bombs into tornadoes help at all? Why did that guy just dive inside a shark with a chainsaw?

Along with The Hunger Games and Divergent, The Maze Runner is definitely on the list of the most well-known within that genre. The Maze Runner definitely raises some questions though. Like did they REALLY try everything to reach the top of those walls? How much time did these people spend naming things?
