Aaron Alexander & John Humphrey take on the outrageous 2002 spoof comedy Austin Powers in Goldmember, the third film in the beloved spy parody franchise directed by Jay Roach (Meet the Parents, The Campaign). Mike Myers (Wayne’s World, Shrek) once again delivers multiple hilarious performances as Austin Powers, Dr. Evil, Fat Bastard, and the eccentric villain Goldmember. This time, Austin teams up with Foxxy Cleopatra, played by Beyoncé (Dreamgirls, The Lion King), to stop Dr. Evil and Goldmember from using a time machine to take over the world. The ensemble cast includes Michael York (Logan’s Run) as Basil Exposition, Robert Wagner (Hart to Hart) as Number Two, Seth Green (Family Guy, Robot Chicken) as Scott Evil, and Verne Troyer as Mini-Me. The film also features memorable cameos from Tom Cruise, Gwyneth Paltrow, Danny DeVito, Steven Spielberg, Britney Spears, and Kevin Spacey in the iconic opening sequence. Packed with over-the-top humor, outrageous disguises, the hilarious "Hard Knock Life" rap with Dr. Evil and Mini-Me, and plenty of pop-culture references, Goldmember cemented itself as one of the most quotable and absurd entries in the Austin Powers series. Whether it’s Austin’s awkward reunion with his father Nigel Powers (Michael Caine, The Dark Knight, The Cider House Rules), Beyoncé’s stylish spy antics, or Goldmember’s bizarre obsession with gold, the movie remains a nostalgic comedy trip and a defining parody of early 2000s pop culture. #AustinPowers #Goldmember #MikeMyers #Beyonce #AustinPowersReaction #ComedyReaction #MovieReaction #MovieReview #2000sMovies #SpyComedy #JayRoach #MiniMe #DrEvil #Movie #Movies #React #Reaction #ReactTo #Spoof #SpoofComedy #1960s #1970s #Hilarious #Comedy #TryNotToLaugh The Naked Gun (1988) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/O3sOm6g79bU Tropic Thunder (2008) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/N5S2pnwUIQM Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/CvbVQt_02Uw Police Academy (1984) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/WYJvRgNUnUE Coming to America (1988) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/wd7VhBTzC2c Follow Aaron On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therealaaronalexander/?hl=en 0:00 Checking In! 1:31 Austin Powers 3 Reaction 30:55 HUEL 32:46 Austin Powers 3 Movie Reaction 50:45 Austin Powers in Goldmember Review Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ RR Clips & Shorts Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ReelRejectsClips Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thereelrejects FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Head Editor: https://www.instagram.com/praperhq/?hl=en Supervising Producer: https://twitter.com/nerdchronic?lang=en Co-Editor: Greg Alba Co-Editor: John Humphrey Music In Video: Airport Lounge - Disco Ultralounge by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow & Listen to Us Wherever You Get Your Podcasts!! - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3XHMwbveiznxSOGxN9XT0M - Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vc3Rhci13YXJzLXRhbGs - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-reel-rejects-tv-movie-recaps/id1616339990 - Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Apocalypse-Podcast/B08JJP58FG Follow GREG On INSTAGRAM & TWITTER: INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/thegregalba/ TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thegregalba PLAYLISTS: Movie Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw-comtadVs8b9JsZEWHUyr8 Sketches & Short Films: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw_zWuTRfBOUP3aYyIYRzc2y

When Nigel Powers says "I thought I smelled cabbage" when Mini-Me is behind him is a callback to the first Austin Powers film when Austin mentions he's scared of carnies and that they smell like cabbage.

Fun fact: When approached about doing a cameo in this movie, Britney Spears said she'd absolutely do it if she got to have the "machine gun jubblies!" She loves Austin Powers, and that was her one request. 😂

More fun facts: When Beyonce was filming this movie, she was also filming commercials. I believe they were for makeup or perfume or something. Anyway, they kept having to tell her to stop talking like Foxxy Cleopatra in the commercials. She kept falling back into that 70's inflection. I remember an interview she did talking about it and said she can still hear the 70's inflection a little bit in those commercials when she rewatched them. Mike Meyers came up with the whole "mole" scene (around 25:35) bc he was out and about one day and a bunch of "mean girls" type of college girls saw him. He heard their conversation, wondering if that was really Mike Meyers or not. One girl says, "No, it's not him bc Mike Meyers has that huge ugly mole on his chin." He said she kept going on about his awful looking mole, which he had just had removed, ironically enough.

The Austin and Mini Me silhouette scene is one of the funniest scenes in cinema history.
