Each chapter in Movies (and Other Things) answers a movie-related question, like which other high school movie characters would fit Regina's group of friends in Mean Girls, or which Michael B. Jordan performance was most heartbreaking.

Shea chatted with BuzzFeed and discussed some unpopular opinions our readers submitted earlier this year. Not only will you see where he stands on these unpopular opinions, but you can also vote for yourself and voice your thoughts in the comments. To get things started, Shea provided his own hot take/unpopular opinion.

1. Unpopular opinion: Fast & Furious is the best movie franchise that's ever been created.

Universal Pictures

"All parts and pieces considered, Fast & Furious is the best franchise of all time." —Shea Serrano

2. Unpopular opinion: Harry Potter is the worst character in the entire franchise.

Warner Bros.

"He was grumpy and narcissistic. He constantly reminded people about how his parents and Sirius had died, but he forgot that Ron’s family was extremely poor, and that Hermione was basically doing everything for him, and that Draco had a crazy set of parents. I mean, really, Harry?" —marybuck

Shea voted NO. He said: "Absolutely not. This is one of the internet's favorite things to do — take a thing or idea and flip it upside down. It's like when people were suddenly saying, 'Jim Halpert is actually a dick and we hate him.' No, Harry is not the worst in the series."

3. Unpopular opinion: Cady is the real villain of Mean Girls.

Paramount Pictures

"Sure, Regina was no hero, but she was intended to be a typical high school mean girl who eventually grows out of that phase. Cady manipulated her and the Plastics throughout the whole movie." —youraveragebuzzfeedreader

Shea voted NO. However, he said: "You can make that argument if you want, but the difference between Regina and Cady is that everyone knows who and what Regina is, so there's an integrity to her openness. Cady slithered her way into a popular spot and did things behind people's backs."

4. Unpopular opinion: Cast Away is boring.

20th Century Fox

"Cast Away starring Tom Hanks was honestly the most boring movie ever made. I don't get why everyone loves it." —rachell48ca95f0b

Shea voted NO. He said: "To say Cast Away is boring is to miss the entire point of Cast Away."

5. Unpopular opinion: Pitch Perfect didn't deserve a sequel.

Universal Pictures

"The first movie was good, but after a couple rewatches, it's not that special. The second one was so bad and not funny at all, and I just pretend the third one doesn't exist." —monikap6

Shea voted NO. He said: "I've seen Pitch Perfect, like, 10 times, and if it comes on today, I'm going to watch it again. Make 15 Pitch Perfect movies and I'm going to watch every single one of 'em. I will agree that they've gotten 25% worse each time."

6. Unpopular opinion: Thomas J. got what he had coming in My Girl.

Columbia Pictures

"Don't kick a bees nest if you're allergic to bees." —Meted99

Shea voted NO. He said: "The way that you know you're a bad person is if you see a child die and you're like, 'He deserved that.' No."

7. Unpopular opinion: Aladdin is the worst Disney film.

Disney

"Aladdin is the worst Disney film." —aislingm47640672b

Shea voted NO. He said: "Aladdin is the worst Disney film if you ignore, like, 12 other Disney films. It gave us 'A Whole New World,' 'Friend Like Me,' and 'Prince Ali' — those three songs alone carry it."

8. Unpopular opinion: Interstellar is boring.

Paramount Pictures

"Interstellar was BORING AF! I just could not even get through the first part of that movie. And I tried, TWICE!" —ericaa40a17979c

Shea voted NO. He said: "I think it's complicated, but it's a fun movie to watch."

9. Unpopular opinion: Inception is pretentious, complicated, and boring.

Warner Bros. Pictures

"Movies like Inception are designed to make pretentious people feel smart. It's not that it's hard to understand, it's just complicated and honestly kind of boring. And if you say you didn't like it, people accuse you of just 'not being smart enough to understand it.' No, I got it, it just kind of sucked." —l49ca8a44c

Shea voted NO. He said: "Inception isn't super complicated the way Interstellar is. You go in a dream to put an idea in someone's head — that's the movie."

10. Unpopular opinion: Jared Leto is a great Joker in Suicide Squad.

Warner Bros. Pictures

"It was a refreshing take on the character. I feel like everyone says Heath Ledger's was the best version, when, really, each version was perfect for the story they were written for." —celestec45cf820b7

Shea voted NO. He said: "Jared Leto wasn't a GREAT Joker, but he was a good one."

11. Unpopular opinion: The Avengers franchise is overrated.

Marvel

"The Avengers franchise is just overrated!" —2ala127

Shea voted NO. He said: "Unacceptable. That franchise is fantastic."

12. Unpopular opinion: 300 is a pile of trash.

Warner Bros. Pictures

"300 is the biggest pile of tosh. It would be 30 minutes long if all the goddamn slo-mo was cut out." —Georgina

Shea voted NO. He said: "It wasn't bad. If you watched it when it came out, you probably loved it, but if you watched 10 years later, you might find it terrible."

13. Unpopular opinion: A Star Is Born is a major disappointment.

Warner Bros. Pictures

"I recently watched A Star Is Born, and it was a major disappointment. Nothing in the first 30 minutes got me interested, they didn’t introduce the characters at all, the lighting made the whole movie look like a toothpaste ad, and the music wasn’t even that good. I mean, 'Shallow' is a nice song to sing, but not to listen to. The acting was good, but everything else was off." —alisap47f9583b0

Shea voted NO. He said: "This person is worse than the one who said the kid dying in My Girl deserved it. Bradley Cooper was incredible; he should've won an Oscar for this role. Lady Gaga was incredible. This is the most offended I have been by one of these opinions so far."

14. One last unpopular opinion: Elf isn't even remotely funny.

New Line Distribution

"I hate the movie Elf. It’s not even remotely funny." —tracy110302

Shea voted NO. He said: "I liked it, but I understand this one. Elf is very funny to a group of people with a very specific sense of humor. If you don't have that sense of humor, I can imagine it's kind of grating."
