Bodies Bodies Bodies Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
April 27, 2022 20:37 - 21 minutes - 39.9 MBHere we go with another A24 go round, and it's a whodunit this time around... So I'm hoping that this is fairly decent. It may throw some folks off here, but I had to be brutally honest once this trailer was done the first time. Bare with me. Enjoy, y'all.
My Thoughts On Justin Lin No Longer Directing Fast X
April 26, 2022 23:20 - 42 minutes - 78.1 MBWell, that's one way to bring some shitty news into my evening... And the day was going so swell at first. I guess now it's time to watch Tokyo Drift through Fast 6, and then Fast 9. You know, to remind me of happier times when Justin Lin was still attached to this series. I don't know what's coming next, but this is a big setback in my opinion. Enjoy, folks.
The Batman 2022 Commentary
April 25, 2022 15:38 - 3 hours - 41.9 MBFINALLY!!!... Sweet Yezus, when I say that I have literally been trying to upload this commentary since last WEEK, I mean that from the bottom of my heart. I think I did this Tuesday or Wednesday evening, after recording other episodes, so this kept me up later than usual. And I got so upset when the audio wouldn't load, so I just got into a mood and didn't record for days. But finally I get to get this content out to y'all for my second time watching Batsy's new take. There's a lot I missed ...
You S1 Ep. 3 Commentary (First Time Watch)
April 20, 2022 19:05 - 51 minutes - 94.2 MBYes, I understand that I'm late as shit here... Again. But if there's one thing I know how to do, it's show up late to the party and still manage to have a decent time. Joe and Beck are obviously making sure of that since I'm catching back up on this show. There's so much more to go and a whole other season on the way, but I'm still here for it. Enjoy, y'all.
Insecure S5 Ep. 2 Commentary (First Time Watch)
April 20, 2022 16:44 - 40 minutes - 74.3 MBFinally had a chance to get back into this series yesterday and every time I do, it reminds me why I got immediately invested in the first place... This always has the perfect balance of black excellence and foolishness each time around. Enjoy, people.
Choose Or Die Commentary (First Time Watch)
April 20, 2022 12:46 - 1 hour - 172 MBBeing as though this movie was recommended by a few people over the course of a few days, I felt obligated to give it a fair spin... Concept wise, I thought of movies like Stay Alive, BrainScan, and Arcade. Execution wise, this wasn't what I expected it to be. I still went in blind though, especially since it's hard to turn down new horror recommendations. Enjoy, folks.
Killer Klowns From Outer Space Commentary
April 16, 2022 20:34 - 1 hour - 181 MBAnd to think I almost got rid of this episode I recorded yesterday... I couldn't deny this film if I tried, even if lots of it seems so dated. As cheesy as it may be, this was a cult classic that scared the hell out of me in more ways than one as a kid. All the more reason for me to consistently talk about a sequel or remake during, so bare with me here. I just think both the fans and The Chiodo Brothers deserve it at this point. There will never be a more fun experience dealing with extrater...
Atlanta S3 Ep. 5 Commentary (First Time Watch)
April 16, 2022 02:42 - 46 minutes - 85.5 MBI know I've missed the last two episode commentaries, but I explain it during the intro a tad... I just didn't want to watch another episode of an anticipated season without giving me legit reaction. The season overall has caught me off guard, like it's supposed to and always has. Enjoy, folks.
Host 2020 Commentary (First Time Watch)
April 15, 2022 20:08 - 1 hour - 130 MBSo many reviews and comments have gassed this flick up so much, and we all know how I'm not one to run with the popular opinions... But I also like to see things for myself, and possibly be proven wrong or proven right if the movie is trash. Also found footage horror will always have a place for me. This seemed like a typical supernatural mumbo jumbo handle here, but I got in the mood and gave it a shot. But folks need to lay off the seance bullshit. The spirits don't enjoy hurting y'all afte...
Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness Final Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
April 15, 2022 10:55 - 21 minutes - 39.5 MBI recorded this and another last night... And it's very early now, all while I'm running on the fumes of no sleep and nightmares with whatever sleep I've attempted. I cannot long caption at the moment. Enjoy, y'all.
Crimes Of The Future Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
April 14, 2022 21:31 - 19 minutes - 36.3 MBThere's some things I say here that people will either agree with or disagree with, like the majority of my views on this show... That is all. Enjoy, folks.
Cruel Intentions Commentary (Happy 45th Birthday, Sarah Michelle Gellar)
April 14, 2022 20:46 - 1 hour - 193 MBBest believe when I say that if it wasn't going to be a Buffy episode, it was going to be this here for today... This is easily one of my favorite roles from Sarah Michelle Gellar, and the rest of the cast she has surrounding her throughout is A+ work for real. This is always a good watch because it's usually satisfying to see the "Ladies Man" get his come uppance on screen, whether it's getting played or getting love. And in this case for Ryan Phillippe's character, he gets a severe case of ...
X Commentary (First Time Watch)
April 13, 2022 20:21 - 1 hour - 209 MBSo I went into this blind... All I was expecting was raunchy business, porn themes, and crazy violence. That's all I'll say. What I will also say is that Ti West is in the horror business with A24 for damn good reason. Enjoy, y'all.
Die Another Day Commentary
April 12, 2022 23:17 - 2 hours - 264 MBLet me just get this out of the way right now... I really LOVE this movie. Sure, it wasn't received well much at all critically when it came out, especially this being the last go round for Pierce Brosnan's James Bond. But if I'm going into a James Bond movie, the fourth in this timeline to be exact, then let's go all out. Let's get crazy, let's have one of the best choreographed sword fights I've seen, let's get icy 24/7, let's have invisible cars, etc. Let's see the lovely Halle Berry on sc...
Edward Scissorhands Commentary (Happy 76th Birthday/R.I.P., Stan Winston)
April 07, 2022 23:11 - 1 hour - 212 MBI came out of my creative shell earlier today thanks to a good friend of mine's inspiring words, which was both appreciated and much needed... There's been a lot going on and while I planned to take a hiatus from the show, I can't seem to. And I also couldn't miss the opportunity to show some love and respect to the Late Great Stan Winston on his day. This is a movie that takes me through different emotions unlike other Tim Burton flicks. But safe to say that I never looked at a pair of sciss...
Bel-Air Ep. 10 Commentary (First Time Watch)
March 31, 2022 16:10 - 55 minutes - 102 MBJust a BIG heads up when I say that I wasn't sure if this was the season finale or not and once I was done recording, turns out that it was... So I didn't get to give my thoughts about this series as a whole by the end of the episode. But let me just say, again, that if this show isn't mentioned or nominated in some kind of way, I'm going to be VERY pissed off. I've eaten all of my previous words and then some as far as not being a fan of this idea, the cast, the dramatic retelling, etc. All ...
The Monster Commentary (First Time Watch)
March 31, 2022 12:01 - 1 hour - 178 MBI went into this completely blind, which I don't mind (bars)... But the moment I saw the A24 logo during the opening, I started to get a bit concerned here. They pump out stuff like Hereditary and Midsomar, so it was a huge red flag in the most creative and creepy way. But I damn sure was checking to be scared or at least creeped out in the slightest when I watched this last night, lights off and all, so I gave it a spin. I love a good creature feature, especially if there's tons of practical...
Dope Commentary (First Time Watch)
March 30, 2022 19:56 - 1 hour - 205 MBThis honestly has been on the radar from the moment I saw the trailer years back, because it just seemed like one of those movies centered around geeks that I could get into... And I'm sure by now, you all know how much I relate to geeks being one myself. It seemed like a black coming of age tale, with tons of comedic elements thrown into the mix. And that type of awkward and random humor has been something I've been becoming addicted to, hence why I'm binging Atlanta and Abbot Elementary, et...
Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare Commentary
March 30, 2022 10:55 - 1 hour - 182 MBIf you hate this movie, like majority does, then you're here for one of two reasons: You either hate it enough that it's become some type of guilty pleasure for you... Or you absolutely enjoy listening to me goof off during these commentaries. I love this movie. It'll sound like a broken record because I explain this during my intro, but I love that this movie finally capitalized on what the series had become, which was a comedy for the most part. This didn't shy away from that aspect at ALL,...
Top Gun: Maverick Final Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
March 29, 2022 18:58 - 23 minutes - 42.3 MBThere's a reason this movie isn't on my most anticipated list this year... Or whatever year it decides to come out, because this has been a thing for as long as I can remember. But if it's Tom Cruise reminding us that he's in the best shape of his life right now, all while flying a jet in the most insane ways possible, I'm slightly intrigued. Slightly. Enjoy, folks.
Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines Commentary
March 29, 2022 11:28 - 1 hour - 211 MBThis was one of the franchise moments that I was dreading, hence why it took so long to jump back into this series altogether... It's very difficult for me to go from something so groundbreaking like Terminator 2 to this here. And don't get me wrong, the story was trying It's best to head in the right direction for a third entry, but it's just completely sidetracked by some weak performances, goofy ass tones that don't hit, and CG overload as opposed to the amazing practical effects from befo...
My Thoughts On Will Smith Slapping Chris Rock At The Oscar's
March 28, 2022 13:39 - 37 minutes - 68 MBWell, somebody ELSE had to say it, because everybody and their mom is still discussing the slap heard round the world... Safe to say that I've got an unpopular opinion here. That is all. Enjoy, y'all.
Atlanta S3 Ep. 1 & 2 Commentary (First Time Watch)
March 25, 2022 19:31 - 1 hour - 145 MBErn, Paper Boi, Darius and Van have come back into my life again... And to be completely honest, I've missed the hell out of these characters on screen. This instantly became one of my favorite shows of all time the moment I was introduced to it, and a lot of that has to do with the awkward humor, uncomfortable situations, and surreal episodes altogether. Even though our main crew are now in Europe and out of Atlanta, there's still strange and comedic hijinks to be gotten into for sure. Hence...
Halo Ep. 1 Commentary (First Time Watch)
March 25, 2022 12:59 - 1 hour - 127 MBCue the music!... Because I've been patient enough, and there's not much else to say outside of that. Long Live The Chief! Enjoy, people.
Halo Episode 1 Commentary (First Time Watch)
March 25, 2022 12:59 - 1 hour - 127 MBCue the music!... Because I've been patient enough, and there's not much else to say outside of that. Long Live The Chief! Enjoy, people.
The Batman Deleted Joker Scene Reaction/Thoughts
March 25, 2022 02:43 - 28 minutes - 52.3 MBI have repeatedly said that I'm quite sick of seeing all these variations of The Joker in live action Batman movies... That's just how I feel when there's far too many people to bring into the fold from the comics, as far as villains go. But Matt Reeves apparently didn't give two shits how I felt about things, and decided to give the world a deleted scene from The Batman movie that includes his version of The Joker. I'll let the episode speak for itself here. Enjoy, folks.
Bel-Air Episode 9 Commentary (First Time Watch)
March 24, 2022 21:29 - 58 minutes - 108 MBNow again, what they're NOT about to keep doing is continue to apply pressure as far as the emotional stakes in this series... My biggest fear here is that they're pushing for a true tear inducing moment before this all comes to a close. Because it's starting to take it's toll on me, man. But I hung tough this time, as I do. Enjoy, people.
Scream Legacy Commentary (First Time Watch)
March 24, 2022 18:49 - 1 hour - 142 MBZenHouse is back again with another fan film for another beloved horror property people absolutely love... And being as though they had quite the hitter with their fan film Halloween Night, I've been pretty excited to see what they cooked up with Ghostface here. I will say that these guys need to tackle more horror properties like this if they're going to stay motivated the same way they've been for these last two flicks. Lots of "big name" filmmakers should take some notes. Enjoy, people.
Men Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
March 24, 2022 01:11 - 20 minutes - 37.9 MBSo A24 is slowly but surely trying to become one of the most stand out studios that deliver chilling horror movies for genre fans... And based on what I've seen from them so far, they may be well on their way. I didn't know what to expect going into this, except to be completely thrown for a loop and confused. And that's what happened here. Enjoy, y'all.
Nightmare At 20,000 Feet Commentary (Happy 91st Birthday, William Shatner)
March 22, 2022 21:27 - 37 minutes - 69.2 MBI won't lie right now, I don't feel like typing a super long description here because I just lost two episodes worth of commentary today... But this one still managed to come out unscathed, so I had to at least get something out to y'all for the time being. Enjoy, folks.
Popcorn Commentary (Happy 59th Birthday, Jill Schoelen)
March 22, 2022 02:21 - 1 hour - 183 MBAs much as I love talking about movies in general, it's about damn time I took myself back to the theater setting for some good old school and cheesy psycho slashing... And honestly, the movie theater is always a great setting for some carnage candy (just check out Demons 1985). But there isn't the average carnage per say in this one and where it lacks in violence, it damn sure makes up for it with humor and spectacle. Jill Schoelen not only has a bday today, but it also no stranger to the ge...
Old Commentary (First Time Watch)
March 18, 2022 21:35 - 1 hour - 215 MBNot just as a fellow PA native but also as a creator altogether, I have this certain level of respect for M. Night Shyamalan and his run with this style of films. I may not always like them the same, but he tends to go out of his way to make sure that he doesn't abide by any of the normal genre clichés for the most part. I admire that. This was always one I was curious about, and curious about where it would fall as far as his category of flicks. The idea of playing with time and age can be v...
Bel-Air Ep. 8 Commentary (First Time Watch)
March 18, 2022 19:39 - 55 minutes - 101 MBLawd, I'm not sure if I can take anymore of this drama and emotional weight that this series is throwing all over the place... Because it's landing in ALL the right directions, and it catches me off guard each time. But this is easily one of my new favorite shows altogether and while I'm ready for season 100, I just need them to pump the brakes and allow me to gather myself at some point. Then again, they can keep it coming. Enjoy, folks.
Leprechaun In The Hood Commentary (Happy St. Patrick's Day)
March 18, 2022 01:12 - 1 hour - 189 MBSo I think this is only the second time that I've shown some episode love to the real OG aka Leprechaun... Now while Lep isn't really in my top 5 horror icons of all time, I love how the series isn't afraid at all to take the character out of his element so to speak. He's been to the countryside, to the city, to Las Vegas, in Space, but now is the time to take an adventure into the streets of Compton. That's right, good old Lep is in the hood, and everything surrounding the guy couldn't be an...
Mannequin 1987 Commentary
March 16, 2022 22:12 - 1 hour - 185 MBSee, this is just what I get for following through with requests (Birthday requests to be exact, but I'm a people person when it comes to the show at least), because I now find myself trapped in the 80s and wanting to watch 80s comedies all night... But I had to stick to the plan here. This is a movie that I saw more than a couple times as a kid, but this felt brand new for some reason. What makes this an even better watch was the fact that I forgot this movie was filmed here in Philly, as we...
Halo Trailer 2 Reaction/Thoughts
March 15, 2022 00:59 - 22 minutes - 40.7 MBWhen I say WHOOOOOOOOOWEEEEEEE... Yes, I mean just that. That was me completely squealing inside of my head. Enjoy, people.
Bel-Air Ep. 7 Commentary (First Time Watch)
March 11, 2022 01:29 - 56 minutes - 103 MBThis show just continues to climb and completely surpass whatever expectations I came to have... And I LOVE it. Enjoy, y'all.
When Singers Got Scary (Happy International Women's Day)
March 09, 2022 01:33 - 1 hour - 113 MBBefore my old ass ended up taking it down for the night, I had to not only get this out the way but I had to show tons of love to the ladies at the same time... Of course I'm a horror movie buff, but I always find it interesting when female R&B singers make the switch over to the big or small screen. At times, it works amazingly and other times, not so much. But either way, there were females on screen who needed to be acknowledged outside of their studio sessions. Enjoy, folks.
Nosferatu 1922 Commentary (First Time Watch/Remastered Version)
March 08, 2022 18:45 - 1 hour - 186 MBLet's hop in the time machine and head back to a moment in history that not only was important to the horror genre, but a moment that was silent enough to leave a lot to our imagination... As much as I thought this would be a task to get through, a silent film from 1922 and all, this was actually a decent watch for me. And this film had recently celebrated it's 100th anniversaries, so it was only right I finally paid old Count Orlok a visit. Needless to say, this is one creepy dude. Enjoy, fo...
Atlanta Season 3 Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
March 04, 2022 18:20 - 26 minutes - 49 MBIt's here, and I'm hype... Self explanatory. Enjoy, folks.
Amityville In Space Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
March 03, 2022 20:51 - 21 minutes - 38.8 MBYou know what?... I'm not even mad right now. Because I knew better than to do this shit. But I felt like I needed another decent laugh after watching Bel-Air, yet in a guilty pleasure way. What I got here wasn't that. And this is now time I cannot get back in Life. And I feel I may be held accountable for this bullshit when Judgement Day comes. Enjoy, y'all.
Bel-Air Ep. 6 Commentary (First Time Watch)
March 03, 2022 19:33 - 54 minutes - 99.4 MBNo long caption needed here... It gets BETTER. Enjoy, people.
Bullet Train Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
March 02, 2022 18:06 - 23 minutes - 42.5 MBBrad Pitt + Zazie Beetz + the same director of Hobbs & Shaw/Deadpool 2 = Me most DEFINITELY doing a trailer reaction for you folks out there... If there's an enclosed area that assassins are fighting each other on, AND it's in motion during, then I am here for all of it. And since there's not too many films out there like this that catch my eye, at least the cast alone is selling me. Enjoy, y'all.
Love Jones Commentary
February 28, 2022 23:26 - 1 hour - 209 MBI had to cap off both Black History Month and Love Month properly here, so this was yet another suitable flick for the moment... I geek out a bit more than usual, because this is one of those movies that almost holds too much weight and is too damn relevant today. So many things on screen here translate to everyday Life, so I never get tired of this flick. This is one of those times I'll let Love be in the air. Enjoy, folks.
Bel-Air Ep. 5 Commentary (First Time Watch)
February 28, 2022 21:31 - 54 minutes - 99.2 MBI asked for an episode that tugged at my heart strings like a lot of the old Fresh Prince episodes used to at times... The Tv Series Gods apparently heard me when I said that and delivered to me an emotionally different episode for the most part. The arcs they're giving these characters in this reboot are so well put together, and it's only getting me more and more attached to this series overall. Enjoy, people.
Morbius Final Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
February 28, 2022 17:54 - 21 minutes - 40.3 MBI mean, it's Jared Leto playing The Living Vampire... Need I say more? Enjoy, folks.
Bel-Air Ep. 4 Commentary (First Time Watch)
February 27, 2022 19:38 - 50 minutes - 93.1 MBThe good times just keep rolling with this series apparently... The last time I ended up doing commentary for a tv series entirely, it was for both Chucky and True Story. The irony here is that the same shit I talked about the Chucky series is what I did here, and look at me now. Hooked. Enjoy, y'all.
Bel-Air Ep. 3 Commentary (First Time Watch)
February 25, 2022 02:43 - 59 minutes - 108 MBYup... I'm officially invested in this series now, and I'm just as surprised as the people who heard how I completely bashed the mere idea of this to begin with. But we can't all be saints here, so cut me some slack. But don't cut Carlton any slack at all, because he's the most bitter prick I've seen on tv in a minute. Enjoy, folks.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre Fan Film Teaser Trailer Reaction/Thoughts
February 21, 2022 23:37 - 27 minutes - 49.6 MBAll I'll say is if this ends up being as good as the You Can't Kill The BoogeyMan fan film, then Dark Crown Films better cast me in their next piece of work to get killed off by Jason or Freddy or somebody like that... They're about to be on a roll and if so, I have no issue peeking back into Texas after that last literal Massacre. It's the thrill for me. Enjoy, people.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2022 Commentary (First Time Watch)
February 18, 2022 19:18 - 1 hour - 162 MBIt came, people... And as far as the gore goes, I almost did the same. Sorry to be so graphic but when it comes to a TCM flick, isn't that what we expect? Enjoy, y'all.
