Episodes
Resident Evil: Retribution Commentary
April 26, 2024 10:51 - 1 hour - 195 MBWhether you love these movies or hate them, I think the one thing that can't be denied about them overall is the fact that they're mindlessly entertaining... So that's how I go about them. It's not an amazing script or great performance I check for. It's the insanity from the games on screen. And trust me, there's lots of insane antics to go around here. Enjoy, folks.
My Best Friend's Wedding Commentary (First Time Watch)
April 23, 2024 19:21 - 1 hour - 219 MBIt seems that rom-coms are expected if I'm going to be sticking with the requests from my listeners, but that's okay... Love is in the air well after February, but clearly there's toxins there as well. Toxic behavior on Julia Roberts' behalf, and I'm over it. Enjoy, people.
Deadpool And Wolverine Official Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
April 22, 2024 23:46 - 28 minutes - 52.4 MBI am in awe... Enjoy, y'all.
Land Of The Dead Commentary
April 19, 2024 12:15 - 1 hour - 212 MBIt all has led to this... Well, kind of, because there's two more films to come after this one. But this was the film that has parts of what George A. Romero had in mind back when he made Day Of The Dead. And now, a major studio and a new budget allows him to show his ultimate vision on screen. Problem for me is that said budget and studio seem to be a big part of the problem as to why this movie is so flawed. Enjoy, folks.
Trap Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
April 18, 2024 20:26 - 21 minutes - 40 MBA surprise trailer today, but an intriguing one nonetheless... M. Night Shyamalan has become synonymous with all things considered to be intriguing or mysterious overall. Let's see what him and Josh Hartnett are here to deliver. Enjoy, people.
Halloween Stalks II Commentary (First Time Watch)
April 17, 2024 11:20 - 42 minutes - 78.7 MBIf it's involving Halloween and Michael Myers, I'm in... Because we all know that you can't kill the Boogeyman. And that goes for theatrical films AND fan films. Enjoy, folks.
Serendipity Commentary (First Time Watch)
April 15, 2024 19:58 - 1 hour - 190 MBMe and my low key love for a good rom-com is front and center again, but I was brand new to this so I went in with an open mind... An odd pairing for sure, but that's the way love goes at times. In this case, it doesn't come easy at all. Enjoy, people.
Serial Mom Commentary
April 12, 2024 12:15 - 1 hour - 201 MBWe've seen the slashing sprees of women like Pamela Voorhees in Friday The 13th and Mrs. Loomis in Scream 2, but it's time to make some noise for Beverly Sutphin... A woman who can make a killing all around the neighborhood, and still make it back home in time for dinner with the family. That's one way to prioritize. Enjoy, people.
My Thoughts On The New Scary Movie Reboot
April 11, 2024 21:13 - 48 minutes - 88.8 MBI had talked about this years back when it was just rumored to be happening, but it was confirmed today... One of the most successful parody franchises is coming back under a new studio and possibly with some new faces. Whether the Wayans will be on board is up in the air, but I've got lots to say either way. Enjoy, y'all.
Joker: Folie A Deux Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
April 11, 2024 12:13 - 37 minutes - 69.5 MBThere was once a movie based on the Joker that didn't need to happen... It happened. And now there's an unnecessary sequel we have here. A musical to be exact. Can y'all feel the excitement through my words? Me either. Enjoy, people.
MaXXXine Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
April 09, 2024 12:58 - 28 minutes - 51.5 MBThere was X, then we had Pearl, and now there's MaXXXine in the building... Ti West may have some films that I'm completely unfamiliar with, but this series has been a great surprise overall. I didn't even think X needed a prequel but after seeing it, I was ready for this. Enjoy, y'all.
Scary Movie 2 Commentary
April 08, 2024 12:22 - 1 hour - 167 MBI'm actually very glad that I got around to this one, because it's a constant reminder that the Wayans Brothers are needed in order for this series to get back on track. Theresa certain raunchy charm to their parodies, so this was the last time that a Scary Movie flick felt like it was really pushing the envelope. Short lived run, but it still counts. Enjoy, folks.
Why Did I Get Married Too Commentary
April 05, 2024 12:10 - 2 hours - 236 MBI can only imagine what kind of trigger this was for audience members who were married, divorced, or even contemplating marriage... It's crazy what an impact Tyler Perry can make on screen, but this is one of the better made films as a whole and it gets better each watch honestly. Enjoy, people.
Joy Ride Commentary
April 01, 2024 21:05 - 1 hour - 202 MBRoad trip from hell movies will always have a special place in my heart, so this was a great time to be had both back then and today for April Fool's... Because if there's one on screen joke or prank that goes way too far, it's the one involving Rusty Nail here. Sequels aside, this is one that's deserving of being a household name in the genre. Enjoy, people.
Bad Boys: Ride Or Die Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
March 26, 2024 14:07 - 26 minutes - 18.7 MBThere's a reason this happened... Enjoy, y'all.
Alien: Romulus Teaser Talk (I Am PUMPED For This!)
March 20, 2024 19:14 - 49 minutes - 90.1 MBFede Alvarez for the win... Enjoy, folks.
Alien: Romulus Trailer Talk (I Am PUMPED For This!)
March 20, 2024 19:14 - 49 minutes - 90.1 MBFede Alvarez for the win... Enjoy, folks.
The Crow 2024 Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
March 14, 2024 15:22 - 39 minutes - 71.5 MB"Tell them Eric Draven sends his regards"... Enjoy, folks.
Waiting To Exhale Commentary
March 11, 2024 23:59 - 2 hours - 256 MBOne time for the ladies... There's a shortage of males to root for in this film, but I can put my own complaints aside and celebrate a film that places it's ladies in the forefront, all while being directed by a man. Forest Whitaker is a man of many hats. Enjoy, people.
Mea Culpa Commentary
March 06, 2024 12:36 - 2 hours - 240 MBI had this all figured out before I even attempted to watch it... I was led astray here. Enjoy, y'all.
The Strangers: Chapter 1 Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
March 01, 2024 18:09 - 31 minutes - 58.6 MB"Why" was always the first word that came to mind when it came to this reboot idea... Then somewhere out there, Renny Harlin heard me and said he's not only got one movie in store here, but he's got two more afterwards. I guess that makes me about as lucky as this couple being stalked by The Strangers. Enjoy, people.
The Temptations Pt.1 IntoxiCommentary
March 01, 2024 15:24 - 1 hour - 175 MBThere were drinks, songs, dramatic moments, and epic events... Of course I had myself a time here. Bare with me. Enjoy, y'all.
Borderlands Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
February 27, 2024 13:17 - 32 minutes - 58.9 MBOn screen video game adaptations are still going strong, whether they're good or bad and this is one that I'm unfamiliar with... I'm digging the cast here and the post apocalyptic settings, but I've got a lot to learn about this rag tag group. Enjoy, people.
Wendell & Wild Commentary (First Time Watch)
February 26, 2024 13:33 - 1 hour - 212 MBIt was between this one and Soul, but I wasn't ready for the rumored waterworks due to that content... So I picked the flick that my daughter has been telling me to watch for a long time. She always gets her way. Enjoy, people.
Barbershop: The Next Cut Commentary
February 23, 2024 14:54 - 2 hours - 22.4 MBI'm really starting to feel like this is one of the more underappreciated black cinema franchises out here... The original was a good feel and the second got a bit more wild, but this is the one that we'll look back on and realize just how much of an impact it has today. Ice Cube is a man that knows quality work when he sees it. Enjoy, folks.
Sting Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
February 22, 2024 22:01 - 30 minutes - 55.6 MBSpiders again?!?... I can't even be upset by this because I do this to myself, and I always manage to go into these expecting to be creeped out. It's my own fault, but I might as well strap myself in and see how well this makes my phobia go into high gear. Enjoy, y'all.
X-Men '97 Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
February 22, 2024 12:44 - 26 minutes - 48 MBI need y'all to understand how much the OG X-Men animated series meant to not only me, but to fans all across the world... The theme song alone was enough to jumpstart our morning, afternoon or night the moment it kicked in, and the episodes were way ahead of their time. So if the MCU can't get it done live action, this will damn sure do. Enjoy, people.
Jumping The Broom Commentary
February 21, 2024 12:39 - 2 hours - 236 MBThis is a great example of what can transpire when worlds collide... Two different families from two different walks of life are brought together for a pre-wedding weekend sounds pretty simple, right? But there's absolutely nothing simple about marriage in these movies, as comedic as things may get. Enjoy, y'all.
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire Trailer 2 Reaction/Thoughts
February 21, 2024 01:07 - 19 minutes - 35.1 MBKong and Godzilla threw hands, then they put their differences aside to beat the brakes off of MechaGodzilla... So now that they're at least cordial, there's a bigger threat at hand. And another surprise threat I had nooo idea about. Pun intended, this will be BIG. Enjoy, folks.
Twisters Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
February 20, 2024 12:43 - 32 minutes - 58.6 MBTo whom it may concern, please find a chill button on all these natural disaster movies, please?... It's bad enough the 90s took over with that sub-genre, but now I'm about to be introduced to a resurgence of destruction. As if it ever left. Enjoy, people.
Roll Bounce Commentary
February 19, 2024 12:42 - 2 hours - 222 MBFrom the Gardens to Sweet Water, the comedic antics and coming of age moments don't stop here, even on skates at full speed... This is a movie I never would've thought I'd enjoy on different levels, but here we are with another underrated period piece. Malcolm D. Lee does right by the culture. Enjoy, people.
Tales From The Hood Commentary
February 16, 2024 12:33 - 1 hour - 212 MBI know what I said about the hood movies this month... I also know exactly why I chose to do this movie in every sense. I think it's a legit reason this movie has content and themes that have aged gracefully. Enjoy, y'all.
Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes Trailer 2 Reaction/Thoughts
February 15, 2024 13:25 - 30 minutes - 56.4 MBWith how insane and amazing these apes have been on screen in multiple film properties, I'm about ready for them to set up shop in real Life and have at it... I'm not so sure I'm prepared for that, but maybe this new movie can be my survival guide in some ways. Enjoy, people.
The Weekend Commentary (Happy Valentine's Day)
February 14, 2024 17:53 - 1 hour - 184 MBThere was so much frustration while watching this movie... Not that it's bad in the slightest, but the situations these characters find and put themselves in are just wild and it's a surprise nobody was injured during this weekend getaway. Seriously. Enjoy, y'all.
Deadpool & Wolverine Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
February 13, 2024 13:01 - 16 minutes - 29.9 MBAll it took was Ryan Reynolds to bring Hugh Jackman back into his most iconic role for a second swan song... It only makes me wonder what other strings he pulled to get the countless cameos fans are rumored to get here. This better be a top 5 comic book movie experience for the ages. Enjoy, folks.
Deadpool & Wolverine Teaser Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
February 13, 2024 13:01 - 16 minutes - 29.9 MBAll it took was Ryan Reynolds to bring Hugh Jackman back into his most iconic role for a second swan song... It only makes me wonder what other strings he pulled to get the countless cameos fans are rumored to get here. This better be a top 5 comic book movie experience for the ages. Enjoy, folks.
The Wood Commentary
February 12, 2024 19:53 - 1 hour - 20.4 MBI'm not sure how close this is to being an actual biopic based on Rick Famuyia's Life but either way, this is yet another staple in black cinema... It's almost too relatable at times which is insane, but it makes the spot in my heart for it that much bigger. From the writing to the casting and the situations these characters are faced with, consider this one of the best coming of age stories ever told on screen. Enjoy, people.
Knuckles Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
February 11, 2024 13:58 - 34 minutes - 62.8 MBWith how Knuckles pretty much stole the show for a good portion of the Sonic 2 movie, this was almost inevitable... And while he's a much more serious character as opposed to Sonic and Tails, I think his own solo adventure will loosen him up and bring some fun his way. Whether he likes it or not. Enjoy, folks.
Imaginary Trailer 2 Reaction/Thoughts
February 08, 2024 20:41 - 25 minutes - 47.3 MBBlumhouse and these damn dolls, bears, and inanimate objects in general are on a rampage... BUT I will say that this trailer did something I didn't expect it to do. It won me over, all while still leaving a bit to the imagination. Enjoy, people.
A Quiet Place: Day One Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
February 08, 2024 13:55 - 24 minutes - 44.7 MBShhhhhhhhhh... Enjoy, people.
Winnie The Pooh: Blood And Honey 2 Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
February 06, 2024 22:52 - 25 minutes - 47.6 MBI'll keep this pretty simple here... The first one was absolutley terrible. And while I'm not banking on this one to be anything amazing at all, I at least want to walk away from this with some cool kills and cheesy good fun. Wishful thinking I suppose. Enjoy, folks.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Commentary
February 06, 2024 12:12 - 2 hours - 39.7 MBExactly what the subtitle says... Enjoy, y'all.
Beat Street Commentary
February 02, 2024 22:09 - 1 hour - 216 MBLet's kick off Black History month with a movie that I think just screams and shouts for the culture... Whether it's Hip Hop, art, dancing, fashion, it's all put on full display here and there's so much to go back on and appreciate. God bless Stan Lathan, man. Enjoy, people.
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire Trailer 2 Reaction/Thoughts
January 30, 2024 17:09 - 27 minutes - 50.6 MBIf there's one thing this trailer has, it's got my old buddy Slimer back into the fold... I can appreciate that bit of nostalgia there. Enjoy, people.
Batman Forever Commentary (Happy 62nd Birthday, Jim Carrey)
January 18, 2024 01:03 - 2 hours - 250 MBI started to put this in my Forever Defending Editions, but it goes without saying the more I compliment this one... This was at least an entertaining Batman movie before we got the next one. Sure, it's far from Tim Burton's vision, but there's bits that carried on and made this worth while. Enjoy, y'all.
The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
January 16, 2024 13:50 - 27 minutes - 50.9 MBIt seems like Rick and Michonne just cannot stay put in one place, or at least one season... Their joint or separate adventures always get them into some bs, but it always seems to make for a good seek and find. Let's hope this entertainment is no different. Enjoy, folks.
Lift Commentary (First Time Watch)
January 15, 2024 14:39 - 1 hour - 215 MBWhen Kevin Hart hits on screen, he hits hard and I feel like his dramatic acting chops are really skyrocketing... But when wants to combine a bit of the dramatics with comedy and action, I'm curious to see it. And having F. Gary Gray place Kevin Hart and a select few others on a terrorist filled plane during a heist, let's just say that's quite the juggling act. Enjoy, people.
Talk To Me Commentary (Second Chance Opportunity?)
January 12, 2024 12:28 - 1 hour - 191 MBI've done the unthinkable... I've given this movie a second chance. I tend to do this often, but I had my mind made up about this one here and lots of people hated my opinion. And it's not that I absolutely hated this movie, but it's a run of the mill supernatural one. Or is it? Enjoy, y'all.
Mr. & Mrs. Smith 2024 Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
January 12, 2024 01:07 - 22 minutes - 41.7 MBYes, I know we've seen this all before, and many times before... But it's got Donald Glover behind and in front of the scenes, so I was automatically sold on that. Enjoy, people.
Leave The World Behind Commentary (First Time Watch)
January 08, 2024 23:30 - 2 hours - 273 MBY'all already know I'm down with post apocalyptic movies in a very big way, when they're done properly... I went into this pretty blindly and I think was the best thing to do. And as much as I love isolation and the idea of being as far away from people as possible, this takes that concept to a height I haven't quite seen on screen just yet. Enjoy, people.
