My Thoughts On House Party 2023
January 24, 2023 19:04 - 1 hour - 123 MBOkay, I'll admit that I spent way more time on this than I should've, but y'all know I can't help but to be long winded and passionate about movies I either love or hate... I'm in the middle here because I don't hate this nor love it, but that doesn't mean I enjoyed it. Let's just say my movie intuition is right when it's right, and damn sure spot on in this case. These mf'ers need to stop partying. Enjoy, y'all.
Bel-Air Season 2 Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
January 19, 2023 20:03 - 25 minutes - 46.1 MBI'm pressed for time and the weather sucks out here, but you get the idea... Philly is back in the building and back on Peacock, so I am back on DECK. I wish I never doubted this series, but my instant attachment to it was very humbling. Enjoy, y'all.
Scream 6 Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
January 19, 2023 15:32 - 22 minutes - 41.9 MBI don't know about y'all, but I'm about ready to scream again... This series is easily one of the most entertaining rides I can have during a horror movie. That being said, it's time. I've waited long enough. Enjoy, people.
Renfield Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
January 05, 2023 17:02 - 26 minutes - 48 MBAnother tale of count Dracula, another actor on board, another bunch of liberties taken... And while I shrugged this off VERY early on, here I am. Drawn to it as if the Count himself had some kind of hold on me to react to this. I'm a fair man, even if I haven't been overly impressed by a Nicholas Cage film in a long time. Enjoy, y'all.
Evil Dead Rise Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
January 04, 2023 21:06 - 26 minutes - 48.5 MBWell,... This was quite the trailer. It was a bad idea to mess with this book again. And I mean that in a good way. Enjoy, people.
Friday The 13th Vengeance 2: Bloodlines Commentary (First Time Watch)
January 04, 2023 02:07 - 1 hour - 212 MBSome of the folks behind the RoseBlood fan film recommended this to me and since I loved that first go round so much, I couldn't turn down the chance to react to this... I always appreciate when real fans of the genre and the property can get the job done when the actual mainstream studios can't (And we've been waiting since 2009). Jason is back, his dad Elias is finally on screen, and there's some loose ends to tie up here. Oh, there's also blood to shed. Lots and lots of blood, and spare pa...
2:59 Short Film Commentary (First Time Watch)
January 02, 2023 19:53 - 24 minutes - 45.3 MBSo Ryann Race had sent this to me on IG, and I had to make it my business to check it out and react to it... He was behind one of the most bad ass Friday The 13th fan films I've seen called Rose Blood. So anybody who has a genuine appreciation for the genre, I can support the movement. I'm usually not one for the demonic/supernatural type of film, but I can go out on a limb here to see a demon get petty. It's stalking this kid at the same time every single night, so I want to see what the out...
Swear On Satan Teaser Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
January 02, 2023 19:47 - 18 minutes - 33.4 MBDark Crown Films is back again, and they're giving us yet another on screen serial killer... Only this time, it's based on notorious serial killer Richard Ramirez. I had heard about this guy but after reading more into it, I'm curious to see how they'll tackle the insane shit he was into. Because he was into just that. I'm expecting some dark and heavy material overall. Enjoy, people.
A Knock At The Cabin Trailer 2 Reaction/Thoughts
December 26, 2022 15:31 - 23 minutes - 43.6 MBI'm all for a fellow Pennsylvania native like M. Night Shyamalan sticking to genre films throughout the course of his career... His consistency however is another story. This man is a talented creator and very original, but his films vary so much quality wise. So seeing Dave Bautista and Ronald Weasley from Harry Potter ready to kill a couple and possibly their child, that throws me for a loop. I don't know what to expect here. Enjoy, people.

Justice For Gisel?: Gal Gadot May Be Back For Fast X
December 23, 2022 20:28 - 41 minutes - 75.5 MBBare with me here, y'all... The rumors just may prove to be true, because all signs and articles in particular point to the fact that Gal Gadot's Gisel character is returning to the Fast And Furious franchise. Now as a die hard fan of the series, one would think I would be insanely excited for this news. But this series has made a habit of resurrecting seemingly "dead" characters, and having some far fetched explanations as to how. This isn't a rant. It's more like a therapy session. Enjoy, p...
The Best Man: The Final Chapters Ep.1 Review
December 23, 2022 00:47 - 55 minutes - 102 MBThey're baaaaaack!... Some of my absolute favorite characters have returned to spread more love, comedic antics, and drama of course. Malcolm D. Lee is a master when it comes to black excellence of this caliber, so I'm nothing shy of excited to discuss the very first episode of this finale. Memory lane is about to get a bit crazy here, but it's worth the wait. Enjoy, folks.
65 Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
December 17, 2022 00:10 - 22 minutes - 41.3 MBI guess dinosaurs are trying to rule the Earth once again... Clearly the writers/directors of A Quiet Place 1 and 2, and Sam Raimi are suggesting that Jurassic Park isn't the only option if we want to see prehistoric monsters. I, for one, am curious to see if the horror can be injected back into this particular sub-genre. Enjoy, y'all.
Everything I Love About The Super Mario Bros Movie Trailer
December 02, 2022 21:35 - 37 minutes - 68.8 MBSince I didn't do an actual trailer reaction for this, and I wish that I did, here goes me geeking out and being completely extra about how this trailer was everything to me... I was blessed enough to grow up with the games and cursed to experience that 90s movie for this, so this is a true treat. Mario here, Luigi there, even Donkey Kong is in the building. Safe to say I am VERY much on board for this. Enjoy, folks.
Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
December 02, 2022 12:55 - 23 minutes - 42.6 MBThis is going to be such a bitter/sweet watch overall... It's been one hell of a ride with Indy for decades, but Harrison Ford is finally hanging up the hat and whip. I'm a big fan of this character, but Temple Of Doom set the bar HIGH for me. And while I'm a fan of Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull, unlike majority, I do feel Dr. Jones has one more adventure left in him. So let's see what Logan director James Mangold can bring to the table. Hopefully not something as emotional as the actual Logan...
Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
December 01, 2022 22:51 - 24 minutes - 45.6 MBI know it's been a LONG time but much like our favorite Autobots/Decepticons/Beasts, I'm back around... This caught me way off guard, but I've been a bit curious as to where we go in this franchise at this point. I'm always down for these flicks, but they've went a bit left as far as quality goes. But I'm here for spectacle. So give me that at least. Enjoy, y'all.
Mindcage Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
November 08, 2022 00:04 - 24 minutes - 44.6 MBSo I guess it was time for Martin Lawrence to apply some of that Marcus Burnette detective work to a more sadistic film... As if Bad Boys II wasn't insane enough for the character. But it does look like Martin is taking a more serious and horror themed approach to this film, and going in the direction of a psychological outing. I personally didn't know what to make of this pop up trailer at first. But if we're getting uncomfortable and creepy, which John Malchovich specializes in regularly, I...
Avatar: The Way Of Water Trailer 2 Reaction/Thoughts
November 03, 2022 17:33 - 23 minutes - 43.3 MBI feel like James Cameron is reeling me in here... Every time I say the original Avatar is an overrated movie, the trailers for this movie just win me over each time. Because SHEESH. I've never wanted to learn how to swim more than I do now. Enjoy, y'all.
Tales From The Crypt 1972 IntoxiCommentary
October 28, 2022 11:06 - 1 hour - 189 MBI was supposed to upload this last night, but here it is as an early morning treat... Arguably the template for horror anthologies to come and very tastefully done overall, this one manages to still be creepy and show us some satisfying outcomes for some pretty unlikable characters. There's a segment here that, to this day, still is suspect to give me nightmares. That's always a win for me. Enjoy, people.
V/H/S/ 99 Commentary (First Time Watch)
October 25, 2022 19:10 - 1 hour - 218 MBI'm just going to say it: this series has delivered some of the best horror anthology bits to ever grace the screen... In the essence of classics like Tales From The Crypt, Creepshow, Tales From The Darkside, and Tales From The Hood, I'd say we've been getting some pretty chilling content overall. The last movie was solid enough to get a few gasps and shocks from me, so I was hoping to get that amped up this time around. Found footage horror is back to say the least. Enjoy, folks.
Creepshow 2 Commentary
October 21, 2022 16:33 - 1 hour - 188 MBWhen it comes to horror anthologies, the name Creepshow will forever bring a smile to my face and jitters to my soul... Whether it's an undead patriarch coming back to life for his Father's Day cake or a wooden Indian statue coming back to exact bloody revenge, these stories have had a hold on me since childhood. Stephen King and George A. Romero struck horror and comedic gold in the form of an anthology film in the 80s, so a sequel was very well deserved. And while this narrows things down t...
Pumpkinhead II: Blood Wings IntoxiCommentary
October 21, 2022 03:01 - 1 hour - 189 MBWith horror slashers/monsters like Michael Myers, Leatherface, Candyman, Pinhead, Chucky and even The Creeper taking a huge part in the classic franchise resurgence, I figured it was time to show love to the big guy once more... The last go round with him was the wrong one being as though it was part 3, but the original and this here are worth while. If there's one figure who can make us fear the strobe light in the sky effect, it's Pumpkinhead. Enjoy, people.
Hellraiser 2022 Commentary
October 19, 2022 19:27 - 2 hours - 243 MBWe've got to cut right to the chase here... Doug Bradley is the epitome of what Pinhead has been and pretty much always will be, and nothing may ever top the impact the original Hellraiser had on fans. That being said, the rest of the series overall has never been much of a tough act to follow, being as though it's been downhill in many ways since Hellbound: Hellraiser II. While I do love the third movie, this series has been a mess for decades and all it took was another genre director to st...
Creed III Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
October 18, 2022 19:45 - 25 minutes - 46.6 MBMichael B. Jordan continues to be a certified G in the movie business, and now he's taken this series and his career to new heights with this directorial debut... The growth of this character over the course of these films is pretty damn epic if you ask me, so for this to possibly come full circle in a third movie is poetic. With Sly kind of stepping aside in this entry, I feel like things can maybe close out on a heavy note. Plus the addition of Johnathan Majors is just bad ass. Enjoy, y'all.
Chucky S2 Ep1 Commentary (First Time Watch)
October 18, 2022 18:50 - 1 hour - 110 MBYou just can't keep a Good Guy down!... So I'm late to the party again, but there was no way I was missing out on getting this commentary out to y'all when I had so much fun with season one. That first go round is yet another viewing overall that deserves an apology from me because it was so damn good. It brought the series back to a great place, and managed to expand on everything in spades. How they top last season is beyond me, but I'm completely ready for another bonkers adventure with Ch...
Halloween Ends Commentary
October 17, 2022 15:24 - 2 hours - 222 MBI've went through so many emotions with this movie that I couldn't even rate nor rank it yesterday... Not even after multiple watches. So I trusted in my platform and my listeners to guide me through this finale the proper way, which wasn't a bad idea. I've had theories, I've had excitement, I've had red flags, etc. Yet here we are for the showdown between Good vs Evil. Laurie Strode is ready to put The Boogeyman to bed. Enjoy, people.
Freddy Vs Jason Commentary
October 13, 2022 20:19 - 1 hour - 191 MBThe bloody battle of two horror titans is finally here for my own personal and humorous enjoyment this episode... And there's plenty of good and bad things to spread around. I won't front like this wasn't the best theater going romp I've ever experienced, but this showdown comes with so many flaws. But even still, I'm happy to have been able to see this come full circle on the big screen after years of development hell. Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees, from Elm street to Camp Crystal Lake, ...
Candyman 2021 Commentary
October 10, 2022 20:20 - 1 hour - 184 MBI finally decided to jump start Spooky Season commentary, and better late than never... So it was on to one of the more innovative and intriguing slasher flicks that had a well deserved direct sequel last year. Nia DaCosta had Jordan Peele backing her directorial mark in the horror genre, and I'd say they knocked this out of the park. The social commentary and overall themes have remained, and expanded so this is one for the culture in my opinion. Enjoy, y'all.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Trailer 2 Reaction/Thoughts
October 03, 2022 16:40 - 29 minutes - 53.7 MBOh, my WORD... Once again, I am reminded of why I shouldn't have ever had a doubt to begin with. Enjoy, folks.
Halloween Ends Final Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
September 27, 2022 17:00 - 25 minutes - 46.8 MB"What are you gonna do when Michael comes back for you?... Because he is coming". Enjoy, folks.
Hellraiser 2022 Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
September 20, 2022 19:54 - 28 minutes - 51.7 MBHaving given up on this series after the first few sequels or so, I never thought I'd be so excited to see the antics caused by this damn puzzle box again... But here we are, and there's no shame whatsoever. There's a small yet big resurgence for our horror icons happening right now and if it means gender swapping Pinhead and rebooting this property, then I'm down to see what's in store for the next trip into Hell. Whether this will be one way or round trip all depends on how well this flick ...
Terrifier 2 Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
August 23, 2022 17:50 - 24 minutes - 44.7 MBArt The Clown is back on his bullshit again, and I'm both excited and almost sure to be disturbed by it at the same time... My introduction to this character wasn't the anthology appearance, but the first movie in it's entirety. And it was an experience for the books when I realized that this guy wasn't playing any games at all when it came to dispatching his victims. That being said, I'm down to clown with this guy a second time around, because I know he'll take things a step further. Enjoy,...
Day Shift Commentary (First Time Watch)
August 17, 2022 04:05 - 1 hour - 218 MBJamie Foxx is a man of many talents, and it just so happened that his acting became one of his strong suits... But when he's now suiting up to hunt vampires on Cali with Snoop Dogg, of course I expected something completely stupid. But the trailer gave me some hope the moment I saw how well this movie's choreography looked on screen. If there's one thing that they sold me on, it's the entertainment factor along with a horror/humor balance. The vampire genre is so off and on these days that th...
Prey Commentary (First Time Watch)
August 09, 2022 18:08 - 1 hour - 197 MBI wasn't too thrilled about the news of this due to the fact that Disney has it's hand in the Fox pot... I'm not a big fan of watered down versions of horror/sci-fi properties (Yes, you, AvP), so the red flags were real here. Then the trailer dropped and I was very impressed, so that built some hype. And even though I'm not super crazy about this franchise overall, I still love different things about each one. So I strapped my boots up and decided to see just what kind of threat this flick po...
Friday The 13th Part VI: Jason Lives Commentary (Happy 36th Anniversary)
August 02, 2022 00:08 - 1 hour - 174 MBThere was no excuse at all for me not to cover this today... And honestly I should've done this two years ago when I started this show. But better late than never, and I don't mind glorifying the best sequel in the franchise. This is when Jason established himself as the Rock Star of the big dog slashers. Undead and unchained, Mr. Voorhees is back to make folks put some speck on his name. And I am here for ALL of it. Enjoy, y'all.
Pearl Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
July 26, 2022 22:20 - 20 minutes - 38.3 MBWhile X is still the absolute 10/10 horror flick of 2022 for me, Ti West decided that there's much more story to good old Pearl than we may have imagined... I'm here to let y'all know that I wasn't one of those people who was curious about any of this really. At least I don't remember being interested. Pearl was creepy, sex crazed, and sadistic so that could've been left to the imagination in her old age. Another period piece go round with her wasn't really needed, but I've been wrong about a...
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
July 24, 2022 18:16 - 23 minutes - 43.5 MB...Enjoy, people.
Halloween Ends Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
July 20, 2022 12:38 - 23 minutes - 43.7 MBNo long caption needed... Halloween came early this year. Trick or treat. Enjoy, folks.
Jeepers Creepers: Reborn Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
July 19, 2022 21:20 - 23 minutes - 43.9 MBTo my very surprise, they FINALLY dropped this trailer I've been waiting for... This is one of those characters and properties in general that deserves another shot and definitely when it's out of the hands of pieces of shit like Victor Salva. The idea of The Creeper has always been really solid, different, and scary if executed properly. So a brand new director, cast and crew is just what this needs, and maybe some more things on the side to snack on. They seem to be taking this seriously af...
Prey For The Devil Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
July 15, 2022 01:19 - 19 minutes - 36.4 MBSomebody better "prey" for me in this case, because I honestly am about sick and tired of these types of movies... I don't mean to sound like a hater or anything but this shit just isn't my thing and the more these movies come out, the worse they seem to get. But I'll put myself in mix and give these the benefit of the doubt from time to time. And may the Lord save me for it. Enjoy, people.
Bodies Bodies Bodies Trailer 2 Reaction/Thoughts
July 14, 2022 23:52 - 14 minutes - 26 MBI was hoping this would be better going into the second time around... I guess I was wrong. Enjoy, y'all.
The Munsters Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
July 13, 2022 14:09 - 21 minutes - 39.1 MBI've been very curious about this take on the classic tv show, to say the least... It's just still so damn strange that Rob Zombie is directing a PG version of this. But then again, normalcy has never been a thing for Rob Zombie and company. While I was expecting a hardcore version of this on screen, I'm open to see how much Zombie tends to pull back on the usual raw content that divides fans out there. Enjoy, people.
Fall Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
July 12, 2022 23:16 - 22 minutes - 40.5 MBI'm going to start by saying this: This movie's concept is absolutely ridiculous... And I'm going to end with this: I am absolutely curious as to how this will play out on screen. I'm a glutton for silly punishment when characters are adrenaline junkies. Enjoy, folks.
The Woman King Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
July 07, 2022 15:06 - 32 minutes - 58.9 MBI'm BAAAAAAAAACK, y'all!... I had to put that in all caps to let it be known how much I've missed doing this. But Viola Davis and her crew are the focus here, so let me say I've been very excited to see this trailer. Any black cinema that empowers is something I need. There's only but so many slave and servant movies I can tolerate, so to show blacks depicted in a stronger way is always a big plus. I wouldn't have expected the same director of Love & Basketball to make the switch to this. But...
Resident Evil Teaser Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
May 12, 2022 16:16 - 26 minutes - 49.3 MBWell, Constantin, Capcom, and now Netflix have decided that the Resident Evil reboot we got fairly recently wasn't enough for fans... We're heading back to Raccoon City yet AGAIN. Not that I'm tired of these luxurious visits or anything, but I'd just rather have some consistency with this property on screen. This is one of the reasons I forever defend the Mila Jovovich series for being such a fun guilty pleasure. There was at least some type of continuity they attempted to keep going. But it ...
Terror Train 2022 Teaser Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
May 11, 2022 21:55 - 25 minutes - 46.2 MBAsk and you shall receive... I've personally been wanting this, but I just didn't expect Tubi to be the ones to deliver it as a complete surprise. So of course I had to go into this blind, but also optimistic. The original 80s flick with Jamie Lee Curtis is definitely one of the slept on slashers of it's time, so this may or may not make people want to go back to it. But it does seem that they did a bit of a costume change, which isn't an issue considering the OG killer had about three of the...
Avatar: The Way Of Water Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
May 09, 2022 17:48 - 26 minutes - 49.1 MBIt's been a little minute since I've recorded, but it's also been about a stone cold century since this movie was even announced so I'll call it even... I had no expectations, but I will say that these visuals are pretty damn impressive. Enjoy, people.
Jurassic World: Dominion Trailer 2 Reaction/Thoughts
April 28, 2022 16:02 - 20 minutes - 37.9 MBI think I may have just eaten my words here about that last trailer... This one was all I needed. Enjoy, y'all.
Nobody Commentary (First Time Watch)
April 28, 2022 00:13 - 1 hour - 192 MBAll I've ever heard about this movie is that it's the equivalent to something like John Wick, and that's almost incentive enough... Though it took me long enough to finally check this out. Another thing that drew me to this was how an everyday guy like Hutch can just snap and get on demon time the moment someone fucks with his family. I can understand that, especially when he's just trying to be cool and get by safely. All I'll say is that this movie gave me a bit more than I bargained for. E...
The Black Phone Trailer 2 Reaction/Thoughts
April 27, 2022 20:43 - 18 minutes - 34.6 MBThe guy behind Sinister and Doctor Strange is back for a new film that seemingly fits the both for both said titles... Sinister was actually scary to me when I first saw it and Doctor Strange was a wild ride, so I can only imagine what combos of both elements are in this one here. I also wonder how this particular out of order phone can just keep ringing in the lair of Ethan Hawk's house. This is one of those trippy looking films that just may deliver on what it's offering, and it's going to ...
