For this Wednesday Super Slop Night, first up is Yolo (2024), a comedy about an antisocial, overweight, reclusive woman who finally moves out from her sister’s home at 32 years old to take up boxing, determined to prove her worth once and for all. Can she go the distance? I guess we’ll find out. This was a huge hit in China, being currently the 17th-highest-grossing film of all time there. Star Jia Ling is also the director, reportedly losing 100 pounds of fat and gaining 30 pounds of muscle for the role.

After that is Charlie’s Angels (2000), the film remake of the classic 1976-1981 TV series. It follows a trio of butt-kicking lady spies (Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, and Lucy Liu) who use their martial-arts skills to fight crime. They have go on an international adventure to track down a kidnapped programmer, with the aid of their sidekick Bosley (Bill Murray). Expect a whole lot of punching and kicking of bad guy, explosions, vehicle chases, and the like. Direct McG also made, uhh, Terminator Salvation (2009). This one is popular on Letterboxd, so we’ll give it a shot.

We’ll start at 8PM EST on Blorptube, right here:
