    Can we maybe try and talk to Wachowskis into taking a crack at a Jem and the Holograms movie? The 2015 one tried to be “realistic,“ and that is ridiculous. Jem needs the Speed Racer treatment.

    On a 1997 episode of The Simpsons, Homer believes that the film ‘Speed’ has the title ‘The Bus That Couldn’t Slow Down’. If you search ‘The Bus That Couldn’t Slow Down’ on IMDb, it will take you to the page of the film ‘Speed’.

    I am receptive to the idea that Speed Racer could be a better film but not that it could have been a better Speed Racer film, if you bought a ticket saying “I want Speed Racer” it delivered exactly what you asked for, if you bought the ticket and wanted Shrek I don’t know, that’s a different film

    This Week in 'Huh': Bullet Train Explosion is a new Japanese movie about a train that will explode if its speed drops. But it's not a remake of Speed! It's a remake of an old Japanese movie of the same name. That movie actually inspired Speed--and that's why Speed ends on a train.
