Episode 3: The Sorcerer's Apprentice

In this weeks episode of I Can Fix Your Movie, we dive headfirst into the 2010 Nicolas Cage fantasy that almost worked. From confused rules of magic and undercooked villains to a protagonist who never quite earns his wizard hat, we break down where the film misfires—and exactly how it could’ve been a modern classic.

What if the magic system actually made sense? What if the mentor-student relationship had real emotional stakes? And what if the movie fully embraced the wonder it keeps teasing?

Grab your grimoires and lightning rings—because we’re fixing The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, one spell at a time.

Episode 2: Kubo and the Two Strings

This week, we take on Kubo and the Two Strings, a visually stunning stop-motion masterpiece that somehow still feels like it’s holding one string too tight. The animation is breathtaking, the mythology is "interesting", and the emotional core is almost devastating—but “almost” is doing a lot of work here. We break down where the story pulls its punches, why the villains feel more symbolic than threatening, and how the film’s themes of memory, family, and storytelling never quite crescendo the way they should.

Then, as always, we fix it. From sharpening character arcs and raising the emotional stakes to reworking the final act so the ending truly earns its tears, we show how Kubo could evolve from a beautiful film into an unforgettable one. Same shamisen, stronger strings. If you’ve ever loved this movie but felt it stopped just short of greatness, this episode is for you.

Episode 1: Assassin’s Creed

Parkour. Hoods. Hidden blades. A billion years of lore… and somehow still confusing.

In the premiere episode of I Can Fix Your Movie- Season 2, we leap headfirst into Assassin’s Creed—the video-game juggernaut that tried to turn genetic memory into a blockbuster and maybe forgot to make it fun. Why does the Animus feel like homework? Who are we actually supposed to care about? And how did a movie with assassins, secret wars, and Michael Fassbender end up feeling so… stiff?

This week, we break down what went wrong, what almost worked, and how a few smart story tweaks could’ve turned this into the franchise launch Ubisoft dreamed of. Clearer stakes, stronger characters, less lore dumping, and yes—more actual assassinating.

History is written by the victors… but movies are fixed by us. Tune in and see how Assassin’s Creed could’ve truly synchronized.
