B movies are what we love at Bravo for the B-side. Here we dissect B movies, from the earnest efforts and studio-level quality films to the camcorder-based, utter amateur movies. After a beat by beat dissection of the movie we talk about what lesson(s) could be learned for beginning writers, directors, producers, actors, etc… We believe all films have a lesson.

Popeye’s Revenge – Episode 167

You can only go so long before your curiosity gets the best of you. With no less than three Popeye films that hit in 2025 we had to take a dive. We settled on Popeye’s Revenge based on trailers, of which none were truly gripping. We dive into this dumpster fire attempt to capitalize on the expiration of copyright on old, beloved cartoon characters. We posit the script was done by AI, and the director may as well have been AI too. There are a couple of good lessons here, a couple, but the rest is a sorely disappointing run of missed opportunities, poor writing, nonsensical story, and actors who just did not have a chance to show their chops with this awful material. Spoiler, we watched another Popeye film after this one, Shiver Me Timbers, and it was not any better.
