Summary

Jim and A.Ron saw Bad Times at the El Royale and give it mixed reviews. Writer/Director Drew Goddard throws a lot of slow, character and dialog driven set pieces at the audience, mixed up and out of order, until finishing the movie with a spasm of violence and action. Jim enjoyed the performances and the movie held his interest throughout, whereas I thought the ending didn't do enough to justify the other two hours. But the film is stylish and slick enough that perhaps you'll be able to forgive it's flaws? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I actually liked it quite a bit. I thought the setup was

It was really good. It kept me in suspense. It kept me what the fucking through I don't know about an hour of this movie maybe more
