Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and William Thrasher discuss The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas. A prequel to the 1994 hit The Flintstones, this movie shows how Fred (Mark Addy) and Barney (Stephen Baldwin) met Wilma (Kristen Johnson) and Betty (Jane Krakowski). In the middle of all this, they have to deal with The Great Gazoo (Alan Cumming) monitoring human mating habit.
Focusing more on class warfare than the original, The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas still has a way too complicated plot for this kind of film, great set design, and a sloppy sense of pacing. The cameos are less fresh this time around, and the locale of Rock Vegas is only saved for the end of the picture. Despite everyone trying their hardest, this sequel is a far cry from the mediocre original.
Mat has started watching Season 4 of the BBC series Sherlock and enjoyed its darker tone and attempts to shore up the character of Watson (Martin Campbell) at the expense of Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch). Thrasher caught an old episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 focusing on the movie Kitten With a Whip.
