Charlie's Angels (2000)
Aug 20, 05:21 AM
With Hot Dave’s Summer Film Fest now over, Dave enlists the help of renowned maximalist filmmaker McG and his 2000 hit Charlie’s Angels to bring the action fans back to the store after a dance heavy summer promotion.
Get some action!
Ahhh, another summer film promotion in the books, and I gotta say...as owner of Apocalypse Video and Executive Producer of Hot Dave’s Summer Film Fest, I think we really knocked it out of the park this year (my so called friends waterboarding and ridiculing me for my love of Flashdance notwithstanding). However, it seems there are some out there in the Wasteland who weren’t overly fond of our focus on dance films this year. So, as an attempt to win back our action craving audience, this week we bring you none other than the maximalist action film from acclaimed(?) filmmaker McG: Charlie’s Angels. It’s got guns, explosions, and more early 2000’s bullet-time ripoffs than you can shake a butt at!
I’m your host, Dave, and joining me on this mission are fellow cinephiles and my own Angels, Mike, Jackie, Ryan, and Nick “Immortan Hoof”.
Topics of discussion in this episode include a film that distills every trope and gimmick from the year 2000 into one insane 95 minute runtime; we wonder if Cameron Diaz was stricken with the Joker’s laughing gas during filming, as she can’t seem to stop herself from grinning like a maniac during every scene; and finally, Ryan attempts to answer the question that has plagued mankind since the late 90s: who or what is a McG?

That’ll do it for now, Angels. I’ll leave you all to shake your butt in your room alone for the benefit of absolutely no one but a horny teenage audience (see film above for reference).
