How Mars Needs Moms killed the Yellow Submarine remake

While we’re sad that Disney’s Mars Needs Moms was box office poison, we can’t help but thank this picture for killing Robert Zemeckis’ misguided Yellow Submarine remake.

In almost every post-apocalyptic story the hero usually stumbles upon a group of horrific survivors that demonstrate just how low humanity can go. The Divide is that group’s origin story. After seeing this film, I needed to take a shower. Xavier Gens’s (The Frontiers) film will not sit well with you. It shouldn’t sit well…
