I almost never do this but I had to turn this off with 10 minutes left in the spoiler talk. I get it, Devindra didn't like The Adam Project. No need to scream about it for 15 minutes. I turned it off when I got a headache from listening to him yell over everyone. (Also, it's really not THAT bad. It's a fun and goofy action-adventure starring Ryan Reynolds as the wisecracking lead.)

I don't get bringing up 80's movies. Those are almost 40 years old. You have to do something different now and not say "Well, you liked those 80's movies when you were a kid, so why not this one?!"
