Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022)

The irreverence of some of the universes in an infinite multiverse makes sense, but that doesn't mean literal sausage fingers, raccoon chefs, goggly-eyed rocks, and swirling black-hole bagels are any less irritating in this sci-fi adventure about a woman who learns a simple life lesson in the most repetitive, long-winded way imaginable - not from the first iteration of her multiverse, where the message was already crystal clear, but only after ad nauseam repetition of several of the silliest iterations - yes, literal sausage fingers again and again and again - over 139 minutes that feel longer than a zillion lifetimes strung together.

Swiss Army Man (2016)

If there's anything worthwhile to take away from this fantasy comedy in which a man and a dead body on a deserted island become friends and in dopey conversations teach each other nothing interesting at all about the human condition, it is that no, in actual fact it is much better to hold stinkers like this in, "Daniels".
