Pizza Movie (2026)

You guys know I am a fan of Stranger Things (although that last season ended badly), so I’m always interested in their young stars. So I saw Hulu’s latest movie Pizza Movie, starring Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin from Stranger Things).

Not to give away the review, but it’s not a good movie. The story feels like it was written by AI or were just a series of ideas, stitched together by a team of “writers”. It’s all over the place, but I’ll try to describe the plot to you:

The movie is about two nerd college roommates, Jack and Montgomery. The entire school hates Jack and goes out of their way to fart, bully, and abuse him at every opportunity. The two randomly found an acid drug called MINTS, and both took it to find themselves sharing hallucinations. One of the phases of the drug is that if they curse, their heads explode and warped back to an earlier time.

Ultimately, if they don’t get food, the drug will “chainsaw their asses” and put them in a vegetable state. Basically, the entire movie is the two trying to get some pizza. It is the stupidest plot I’ve ever heard…

I am assuming this movie is for a certain market for potheads or an audience with poor attention span.

Here’s how Hulu describes the movie:

A group of college students go downstairs to their dorm lobby to get a delivery pizza. There’s only one issue: They’re insanely high on a home-made drug, turning their simple journey down two sets of stairs into a mind-bendingly transformative quest.

Starring: Gaten Matarazzo, Sean Giambrone, Jack Martin, Peyton Elizabeth Lee, Caleb Hearon

Directors: Nick Kocher, Brian McElhaney

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die (2026)

This is a weird one. A man from the future travels to a busy diner in Los Angeles to recruit random people on his mission to fight an artificial intelligence (AI) in a movie called Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die. The film officially launched in 2025, but didn’t get released in the USA until February 2026.

The time traveler claimed to have returned to the same dinner over 100 times and each time his mission goes badly. However, this time, it sounds like it might work out. As the story progresses, you get flashback of his recruitment and their backstory.

Some of it is absolutely silly. The two teachers/couple had to deal with zombie students addicted to their phone. A mother who had her child killed in a school shooting and now relies on an AI version of her child (this storyline could be its own Twilight Zone or Black Mirror episode).

At some point in the movie, there is a giant Cat Centaur who barfs up glitter. It’s absolutely surreal and takes you out of reality. When the Zombie students showed up in the flashback, I was already checked out. It’s not meant to be a realistic film, but kind of a weird commentary of the modern age and their addiction to technology.

The group did reach the moment that AI was created and you find out the origin of this story… there is a little twist, if you were still paying attention at the end of the film.

Overall, as a science fiction film, it’s not good. This is more of a weird comedy, but I didn’t really find it that funny. Was this film made by AI? I guess I didn’t really “get” the movie.
