Episodes

Evil Dead Rise Commentary

May 30, 2023 10:32 - 1 hour - 199 MB

There's a run down apartment building, there's tenants, there's curiosity, and there's that damn book... And a record that not even your most skilled DJ wouldn't dare touch. Add a little bit of demonic possession that's actually entertaining and buckets of blood, and you've got yourself a stand alone Evil Dead entry. Groovy. Enjoy, y'all.

Scream VI Commentary

May 28, 2023 12:36 - 2 hours - 242 MB

When I saw this in the theater back in 1996, I never in a million years would've guessed we'd still be talking about Scream in 2023... At least not in the context of several sequels. Radio Silence has come in and done a hell of a job making sure that fans of the series keep finding both familiar and new ways to keep screaming. Ghostface looks like he/she is here to stay as long as these characters stay alive. Enjoy, people.

White Men Can't Jump 2023 Commentary (First Time Watch)

May 27, 2023 12:10 - 1 hour - 200 MB

This certainly didn't go the way I ultimately thought it would... While the trailer wasn't bad, I still thought this would end up making me feel the same way House Party did. I'm here to say I was wrong. As a basketball buff, this was a game winner. Enjoy, folks.

Fast X Spoiler Review

May 26, 2023 10:13 - 1 hour - 186 MB

I've waited an entire week for this, and it wasn't easy... It was actually a lot of anxiety behind this one since this was like my most anticipated movie of the year. Dom and crew are back for more vehicular warfare, and I'm back to go on a complete rave about all of it. Bare with me here. Enjoy, people.

Creed III Commentary

May 24, 2023 03:22 - 2 hours - 233 MB

For anybody concerned about the obvious elephant in the room concerning a star of this film, there's a solid disclaimer in the intro... That was a must. This commentary was also a long overdue must, so there's that. Enjoy, people.

Mission: Impossible- Dead Reckoning Part One Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

May 18, 2023 20:26 - 24 minutes - 45.5 MB

Ethan Hunt and his crazed alter ego, Tom Cruise, are back for more unfair stunts that Tom Cruise literally does himself like 90% of the time... And if that there was a bit hard to grasp, then please take a look at what's going on in this trailer. This is yet another series that goes even crazier each time around, and I absolutely adore that action wise. Oh, and Ethan Hunt drives a motorbike off of a cliff. Enjoy, y'all.

Fast X Final Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

May 15, 2023 19:07 - 30 minutes - 54.9 MB

This Friday, it's going down... That is all. Enjoy, folks.

Turistas IntoxiCommentary

May 14, 2023 01:52 - 1 hour - 195 MB

Being as though I've only seen this once when it came out, this all seems brand new to me... Which can always make for a good episode as far as my reactions go. These types of terror travel flicks genuinely scare the hell out of me and make me flinch, so don't judge me. Enjoy, people.

Renfield Commentary (First Time Watch)

May 11, 2023 00:36 - 1 hour - 192 MB

Pun intended, I'm a sucker for a good vampire flick... And this one is somewhat centered around Count Dracula. Played by Nicolas Cage, and that's a big stretch for me. But let's see how these fangs hit overall. Enjoy, people.

Fatal Attraction Ep.1-3 Spoiler Talk

May 09, 2023 23:28 - 39 minutes - 73.1 MB

Clearly I'm a glutton for punishment... Why else would I entertain a tv series remake of one of the greatest films ever made? Because I like to be proven wrong if the tables turn, or I like to vent to y'all about how terrible things turn out. Either way, this series truly is "not gonna be ignored", so here we go. Enjoy, folks.

Meg 2: The Trench Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

May 09, 2023 11:24 - 27 minutes - 49.6 MB

The Meg was actually a very pleasant surprise for me when I saw it for the first time... I was hesitant about a PG-13 Megaladon flick, but it was definitely entertaining as hell. But when you throw in super scuba suits in the depths of the ocean, multiple Megaladons, and more creatures for them to cause havoc with??? Yes, I am here for all of it. Bring on the insanity. Enjoy, y'all.

From S1 Ep.1 Commentary (First Time Watch)

May 05, 2023 01:02 - 1 hour - 122 MB

I had seen some scattered reviews and reactions to this show online, but never paid it much attention... Then I got the extra push to finally check it out. I have lots of questions I'm left with, BUT I won't act like this didn't catch me off guard. Harold Perrineau playing the sheriff of this creepy and suspicious town sells me already, but the things that are happening here amongst these townspeople are what's going to keep me on board. Oh, and there's monsters that appear to look human unti...

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2003 Commentary

May 04, 2023 00:59 - 1 hour - 203 MB

The saw still seems to be family here, and it's time for a bit of a reunion that's both inevitable and long overdue... While this series is all over the place, this is a place that feels like home even among the most sadistic of families and slasher icons overall. Please put some speck on this remake. Enjoy, y'all.

Transformers: Rise Of The Beast Trailer 2 Reaction/Thoughts

April 28, 2023 12:26 - 20 minutes - 38.1 MB

The designs of the Beasts alone are a huge selling point here... But seeing these big mf'ers in action is just bonkers. This is the most excited I've been for Transformers since the first movie I think, and God bless Steven Caple Jr. for stepping behind the wheel of this and hopefully adding fuel back into a somewhat dysfunctional franchise. I haven't lost faith. Enjoy, y'all.

The Equalizer 3 Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

April 27, 2023 22:06 - 21 minutes - 38.8 MB

I guess since John Wick got his fourth go round on screen recently, it was only a matter of time until Robert McCall came back to join the party... As if Book Of Eli wasn't already an established bad ass of a character to his name, Denzel Washington decided to close this thing out with a bang, maybe a blast, possibly a few blades, etc. We know what to expect. Enjoy, folks.

White Men Can't Jump 2023 Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

April 27, 2023 13:31 - 27 minutes - 50.5 MB

First we got the House Party reboot from this director, and now he's back with yet another 90s classic that he's putting a modern day spin on... I'm not saying I'm looking forward to this but as a basketball buff, y'all know what I'm here for. And I will say that I think Jack Harlow will be a comedic standout here. That is all. Enjoy, people.

The Flash Trailer 2 Reaction/Thoughts

April 26, 2023 00:26 - 19 minutes - 36.2 MB

Now is the time where I make up for not doing that first trailer reaction the way I was supposed to... And I don't have to turn back time to do so. Enjoy, y'all.

The Angry Black Girl And Her Monster Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

April 24, 2023 11:58 - 24 minutes - 44 MB

So we've basically got a modern take on Frankenstein/Frankenstein's Monster... Only it's a black girl as the lead, she's bringing her brother back from the dead, and it's set in the projects. Sign me up. This can be interesting enough to fall perfectly in line with the rest of the modern black horror projects that are killing it right now. I hope this is as weird as it looks. Enjoy, folks.

Insidious: The Red Door Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

April 20, 2023 19:12 - 27 minutes - 50.5 MB

Y'all know exactly what's about to happen and where I'm going with this here... Y'all know. And some of you get a kick out of this bs, but I'm here for what y'all want to tune into. Putting my sanity at stake per usual. Enjoy, people.

Fast X Trailer 2 Reaction/Thoughts

April 19, 2023 22:14 - 18 minutes - 33.4 MB

No long caption needed... Enjoy, folks.

The Time Traveler's Wife IntoxiCommentary

April 16, 2023 23:34 - 1 hour - 211 MB

So this is what happens when I try to do two things at once here... This is the result of me trying to watch the so-called sappy movies my Lady wants me to watch, and also the result of me trying to be versatile with my content overall. I've been telling myself I need to do more movies that gear towards my female listeners, so this seems like a win/win. While it's my second viewing and while time travel on screen tends to make my head hurt, I won't lie and say I didn't enjoy this. Joke was on...

Talk To Me Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

April 16, 2023 12:52 - 20 minutes - 36.7 MB

I need all my listeners to do me a solid right now... Don't judge me due to how I reacted here. I tried, I did. But this reaction tails off into the deep end the more it progresses. I promise I tried. Enjoy, folks.

The Mother Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

April 15, 2023 12:06 - 21 minutes - 40.3 MB

We've seen this type of premise done many times before, but maybe J.Lo can be the one to break a new barrier and give us something different... Right? I'm just saying that I don't know too many folks who will take this seriously enough to get excited. But I'll stay optimistic. Enjoy, people.

Dylan's New Nightmare Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

April 13, 2023 11:45 - 30 minutes - 56.1 MB

I always say that when Hollywood can't seem to get the job done, in come the true fans who spend their own money to make things happen... 2010 was the last time Elm Street fans were blessed, or lack thereof, with a new take on the property and it wasn't pretty. But here we are in 2023 with a fan film centering on Dylan from New Nightmare, and I'm happy nonetheless. As long as it's not Nancy again and again, this can work. Enjoy, folks.

M3gan Commentary

April 08, 2023 11:25 - 1 hour - 203 MB

I did this one pretty late last night... Which in turn means that I stayed up even later, which ties into the fact that I'm up early for the upload itself. But as usual, I hope y'all enjoy me making the most out of another killer doll going on a rampage that could've been prevented. But some of these folks had it coming. Enjoy, people.

Bel-Air S2 Ep.6 Commentary (First Time Watch)

April 06, 2023 11:18 - 56 minutes - 103 MB

These descriptions seem to get smaller and smaller each time... Rightfully so, because this has all become so self explanatory. For a Philly native, I'm at home with this series. Enjoy, people.

Blue Beetle Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

April 04, 2023 18:14 - 33 minutes - 60.7 MB

Going into this completely blind, the two things I was ready to do were root for Xolo Mariduena from Cobra Kai, and to have the closest thing to a modernized Guyver reboot I can get... But in all seriousness, I've been wondering what this was going to look like very early on for DC. I haven't lost hope for them completely, but we need a good sucker punch of a fun superhero flick and fingers crossed that this will deliver the fun it's set on. Enjoy, y'all.

Bel-Air S2 Ep.5 Commentary (First Time Watch)

March 29, 2023 12:11 - 51 minutes - 93.9 MB

Much like I tried to keep the intro, this will be short here... We know this show has been an entire home run at this point. Enjoy, folks.

Bel-Air S2 Ep.4 Commentary (First Time Watch)

March 23, 2023 22:09 - 53 minutes - 97.3 MB

Back to the Banks family we go!... I'll keep this brief but I've got to say that something happens in this episode that was more than satisfying to watch, and from a character I least expected to deliver the moment. But that's the joy of this series, always taking me by storm and getting all the feels out of me. It doesn't let up. Enjoy, folks.

Swarm Episode 3 & 4 Commentary (First Time Watch)

March 22, 2023 08:05 - 1 hour - 150 MB

I know I should've started this from the very beginning, but I explain why during the intro... Luckily I'm not famous enough to have a cult or hive of people who misunderstand that and take drastic measures like our leading lady in this show here. This is one of the most insane depictions of #1 fandom I've seen in a long time. It's been done a LOT, but not every interpretation has had Donald Glover behind it. These back to backs are well deserved. Enjoy, y'all.

Cherry Falls IntoxiCommentary

March 20, 2023 08:14 - 1 hour - 185 MB

It's a bad day and night to be a virgin in the town of Cherry Falls, especially when a crazed serial killer is on the loose with a specific motive... This is a movie that's rare, hilarious, underrated, and a few other choice words I'm sure I try to give it credit for while sipping during the episode, so bare with me. While this premise is pretty original in my opinion, this is a film that will always be in the shadow of Scream due to it's release afterwards. Unfair comparison, but so is every...

The Howling Commentary (First Time Watch)

March 18, 2023 23:35 - 1 hour - 187 MB

This has been a must watch for years now and being as though years have finally passed, I decided that it's time I must watch... Don't judge me. Low key, I'm a sucker for werewolves on screen, and a lot of it has to do with the transformations that practical effects give me. So when you throw Joe Dante behind the camera and Dee Wallace in front of all that, you have me sold. Enjoy, y'all.

Bel-Air S2 Ep.3 Commentary (First Time Watch)

March 17, 2023 21:07 - 55 minutes - 102 MB

I'm a bit behind, but sometimes Bel-Air just can't wait... It's always good to get back to the heart and the dramatics of this show, and it only gets better. Enjoy, folks.

Cocaine Bear Commentary (First Time Watch)

March 15, 2023 15:47 - 1 hour - 188 MB

This idea alone was always quite simple for me... A bear, a ton of cocaine that it stumbles upon, and a damn good time having some dumb fun overall. So with that being said, my response to this movie is well deserved. Enjoy, people.

Bel-Air S2 Ep.2 Commentary (First Time Watch)

March 07, 2023 23:45 - 55 minutes - 101 MB

Back on my bullshit... As I said I would be. Enjoy, folks.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

March 07, 2023 23:39 - 25 minutes - 46.4 MB

It's been a long time since I thought TMNT would be relevant again, but here we are... The voice casting alone had me curious, so let's see if we can swing for the fences with this one, especially since the turtles and left out characters deserve it. Enjoy, people.

The Blackening Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

March 02, 2023 13:04 - 31 minutes - 57 MB

If I'm not mistaken, this was originally a sketch on tv... Either way, this caught my attention before the trailer dropped. If there's black folks in a horror movie situation, y'all can count me in, and especially if there's a hell of a comedic twist on it all. Having this take place during Juneteenth is just an extra sweet bonus. Enjoy, folks.

Bel-Air S2 Ep.1 Commentary (First Time Watch)

February 28, 2023 20:05 - 1 hour - 122 MB

Even being a Philly native, this is some of the most fun I've been having leaving and heading back to the Bel-Air mansion... The second go round seems to be ready to up the emotional stakes, and I'm ready for this series to have me hooked once again. Enjoy, y'all.

Coach Carter Commentary (In Memory Of Maurice "Jonesy" Jones)

February 22, 2023 21:12 - 2 hours - 271 MB

The inspiration behind this one was a tad bit different today, so bare with me during the long winded intro... I had to finally get this one in the can and dedicate it to one of my best friends I lost almost a year ago. This movie played a major part in our brotherhood, so I had to do both the movie and him some justice all at once. Also as a basketball buff, this movie delivers some things that just aren't in your average sports drama. Enjoy, y'all.

See You Again?: Fast X's Brian O'Conner Tie Ins

February 22, 2023 12:07 - 39 minutes - 71.9 MB

We knew this was coming... Especially after how Fast 9 ended, and with how Fast X directly ties into Fast X. It was all a matter of when and how Brian was going to be featured again, and this new directors makes some valid points while speaking on both the character and the late actor overall. Pretty interesting statements, but I've got a ton of questions and concerns as usual. Enjoy, people.

Why I Am Legend 2 Could Be A Post Apocalyptic Epic

February 21, 2023 21:43 - 55 minutes - 101 MB

So rumors that have been swirling for what seems like ages have finally come true, and we're getting a very particular follow up to I Am Legend... I'm curious about this idea, but they're way of continuing this story is going to be a very hit or miss thing. Fingers crossed, though. Enjoy, folks.

John Wick: Chapter 4 Final Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

February 16, 2023 20:50 - 30 minutes - 56.2 MB

The most dangerous man with a gun and a horse and a sword and and a pencil and a book and whatever else he chooses is back on the scene, and I'm hoping this is as epic as the last three... These films have managed to deliver action sequences that stand out from anything I've seen. And it's so tastefully done that I never thought I'd say violence seems so brutally classy in this universe they've set up. This is an action star for the ages that will never be forgotten. Enjoy, people.

Creed III Final Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

February 15, 2023 21:32 - 26 minutes - 48.9 MB

My anticipation for this one is really solid overall, and it keeps looking better and better... Creed most definitely is in for the fight of his life and while he may or may not win this fight, it'll be epic to secretly be cheering for both Killmonger and Kang in the same movie. Enjoy, y'all.

The Little Mermaid Teaser Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

February 15, 2023 21:28 - 19 minutes - 35.1 MB

To put it pretty simply here, I'm glad Halle Bailey is playing this role... I can definitely put aside the fact that this isn't my cup of tea for the sake of supporting this diverse casting. Well done, Disney. And I hope that if I can't fully enjoy this, at least a lot of younger people can. Enjoy, folks.

Time To Talk About The Flash Trailer

February 14, 2023 23:24 - 48 minutes - 89.4 MB

I've never seen a trailer quite like this... Like EVER. My anticipation was already crazy but after this here, it's amplified. Controversy aside, this movie looks like a visual and comic book epic. No doubt about it. Enjoy, y'all.

Children Of The Corn 2023 Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

February 13, 2023 23:16 - 29 minutes - 53.6 MB

This is one of those movies that I always forget is even happening... We've been down this Gatlin road before, and I feel like I already know how it's going to play out. But silly me is always wishful thinking when it comes to franchises possibly being revived. But this series went off the rails it's third go round, so it's a hard place to come out of. But we shall see. Enjoy, people.

Fast X Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

February 10, 2023 16:31 - 28 minutes - 52.4 MB

Y'all already know what it is... Enjoy, people.

Scream 6 Superbowl Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

February 08, 2023 15:34 - 16 minutes - 29.8 MB

Well, this was a pleasant surprise... That's about it. Enjoy, y'all.

Nope Commentary

February 07, 2023 22:11 - 2 hours - 262 MB

Though I'm late as all hell, I had to take some time out to cover a black horror/sci-fi flick for Black History Month in some type of way... So I figured why not jump at the opportunity to tackle a Jordan Peele film that had me speculating every way possible before it's release. Peele has had the genre on smash since Get Out and hasn't missed a beat in my opinion, so to watch this alien take for a third time was definitely a charm. There's things here I still may have missed, but the jist of ...

James Gunn Fills The Cleaned DC Slate

January 31, 2023 20:47 - 57 minutes - 105 MB

Y'all already know I'm a DC guy at the end of the day but even I can strongly admit, they have been screwing the pooch almost since the beginning... Which is always painful to mention since so many of their films had promise in different ways. So the decision to clean house, scrap movies and shows, recast and such was needed. They deserve better. And whether I'm familiar with some of these properties or not, they're looking to be better overall. There's some pretty interesting things here, an...
