Unnecessary Edits embarks into the unknown and dives into the latest Disney hit, ‘Frozen II.’
Check out the latest episode where UE heads to Arendelle and reviews and rewrites

Is the music from Frozen II actually better than the first? Does Garrett stick with his necromancy theory that he threw out in episode 1 of UE? Samantha? 

Episode 10: Twin Films: Deep Impact vs. Armageddon

Your Unnecessary Editors prepare for launch into two apocalyptic films from 1998 where nukes are mankind’s only method for survival. Check out the first episode in the ‘Twin Film’ series. See which film we liked better, along with some ridiculous rewrites as well as weirdly deep space discussion.  Do we need children in Deep Impact? Does Armageddon end too soon? Are either of these movies any good? All this and more in our 10th episode! 

Episode 8: Planes, Trains and Automobiles

The Unnecessary Editors jump into this Thanksgiving-ish comedy movie and ask all the important questions: Should the ending be less sad? Do we need more back story for Del, could there be something nefarious in Del’s trunk!?

These rewrites and all sorts of travel and comedy discussion await in our 8th episode!

Happy Thanksgiving from us at Unnecessary Edits!

Episode 7: Yesterday

As always, SPOILER ALERTS!
Tune into this week’s episode to find out what Kristin and Garrett liked and dislilked, and what they absolutely would want to change (hint hint: we are not in love with the shape of you!)

Kristin suggests a change to the way Jack gets discovered, and Garrett thinks a better story line involves a coma.

“Maxwell Edison, majoring in medicine
Calls her on the phone
“Can I take you out to the pictures
Joa, oa, oa, oan?”

This week, Unnecessary Edits goes deeper into the psychological thriller, ‘Joker,’ starring Joaquin Phoenix.

SPOILER ALERTS! If you haven’t seen this film yet and don’t want to be spoiled, hold off on this episode. The film is still playing in select theaters, so check your local theaters. 

Discussions and reactions get deep, so tune into this week’s episode to find out what UE would change. How many times have we seen Bruce Wayne’s parents die? Why wasn’t Gotham City darker or more grim? 

Send in the clowns and tune into the latest episode! 

Episode 5: Halloween Triple feature

Trick or Treat!
Unnecessary Edits is joined again by Dave for a spooky Halloween Triple feature. 

This week, each host picked one of their favorite movies to watch on Halloween (the only stipulation: the plot of movie must take place around Halloween). This frightful episode includes Disney’s ‘Hocus Pocus’, Tim Burton’s ‘Sleepy Hollow,’ and John Carpenter’s ‘Halloween.’

Why does Mary Sanderson growl like a dog? Why wasn’t Katrina Van Tassel a more supernatural character? What makes Michael Myers’ evil?
