cast I other than Michael Shattenham and Patton Oswald oh Keegan Michael Key Tofer Grace and Kristen Malatai

I think that is the last thing or he or she I don't know Casper Kelly did he do too many cooks Let me see Yes This is going to be weird

Then Too many cooks. That came out in 2014. You ever seen too many cooks? I have not. Is there streaming anywhere? It's on YouTube. Okay, it's a TV short.

All right. Let's check it out. But I'll check this out. I mean, as well as too many cooks. I'll watch that one as well. And we'll see how this one goes. I'm not sure if it's getting a theatrical release

maybe in some areas I mean I'm out of the sticks I'm in the sticks so probably not so I'm in my area what

I think he did the segment in the last VHS also was that the Halloween one yeah you're going to make me look that up

which one did the oh he did the the on the wait the one with the guy the baby no

the weird creature thing that was turning people into candy I don't remember let me see he directed fun size yeah

was that the one they got sucked into the bowl yeah okay that's that's his kind of humor and style. Yeah, that one, that one was weird. The one that scared me was that baby man or whatever when they were in,

those girls were in the house. Oh, with the thing with the six titties? Yeah, that was weird. Oh, man. How many VHS movies is in there, like six? Six, seven. Yeah, there's, two is my favorite. Viral, I'm starting to come around on that one.

that was kind of like my least favorite. I don't know. I'll sit down and re-watch those again. But, buddy, we'll see how that one comes when it comes out. It says it is going to come out. I guess it's already out.

This is January 22nd. I think it's doing the festival ride. Oh, okay. Well, no festivals come to my area, so I have to wait. This one, I've seen all the other ones.

I didn't realize it was that many, but this is Insidious 6. Directed by Jacob Chase. Blumhouse is keeping the plot for the six Insidious movie underwraps for now, including the title. Is it a prequel or what? Because they bring in Shay back.

Yeah, I assume. Is Are the regular people in it or is it just her in an earlier adventure? I just know Lynn Shea's in it and the, what's his name, Patrick Wilson, that whole storyline they finish. They're done with them. Hmm. When IMDB doesn't say much. So, all right.

Well, we'll see when it comes. out. What was the last one? I don't even remember. Red Door. What was the one? Would his son grow now? The key. What was that one? Oh, the last key. Yeah, that one. I've enjoyed all of them. The first one still being my favorite.

Okay, so. Yeah, all right. The red door, I don't. Reddo was not good. I don't even remember that one. I mean, I've seen them all in the theater, but... That's how good it was. Yeah, I don't. I don't remember. If this is a prequel, cool.

I'm all for it. But, I mean, I did like how they all did kind of tie into one another and everything. So, but we'll see where it goes. That's why I'm wondering if it's a prequel, because Lee Wannell and the other guy that was, like, her sidekicks. I don't think they're... I don't think they're in a movie. Oh, they're not? The two Ghostbusters? Yeah.

Hmm. Helly one now. Man. You did good with the invisible man. Then you gave us Wolfman or whatever the hell that was. I wasn't a fan of that one, but I don't know. Who am I?

We'll see where it goes. Of course, we're all going to see it. We've seen the first five. Why not? We sat through all the screen movies. So, yeah. All right, this one, that's why I'm saying that this list probably came out months ago. But return to Silent Hill.

I did see that it is now on physical media, so I'm sure you can rent it somewhere. You guys did this one, didn't you? Yeah, this is not to spoil my review for no one's listen to it, but this is a definite bottom-tent movie. So this one ties into the original, the first one. one? That's what they say. See, I don't even remember the first. I just remember it being boring.

And I never even seen the second one. Well, you thought that was boring. Wait until you watch the new one. I have the second one that still shrink-wrapped. I guess I'll just buy this one. I'm that

completest. Speaking of physical media, I was in Walmart the other day. And I missed that scream steelbook of the first film, West Craven's scream. I saw that they had it. I saw it. I was like, ooh, I need to go back and get that one. And they had the steel book for Dead Silence, James Wan.

That one was helly good. Yeah. They were pricey, though, man. $30. You guys are killing me. So, but I already have that screen movie, but not the steel books. I'm going to go back and grab that one. But this one,

the return to Silent Hill, for those of you that haven't seen it, is based on the critically acclaimed Silent Hill 2 and follows James Sunderland back into the terrifying town in search of his wife, Mary. See, maybe that's why I'm not into the movies because I never played the game,

so I don't have that nostalgic love for it. I've only played the first game And damn, that shit was scary For those of you, they were a few old school Is it remember PS1 That's when the first game came out Actually A friend of mine goes

Here, dude, he gave me a demo It was some PlayStation that had like Four or five games on it But it was like just the demo versions And he goes, dude, play Silent Hill I was like, what is it? He goes, dude, just play it. All right.

And they only gave you so much of the game. And I was, dude, just that little demo was scary. So when it came out, I bought it. And I had to buy one of those books that kind of gives you the walkthrough to tell you where to go and everything. Because I tried to play it without a book, but it got to a point where you had to play this piano. You had to play. They gave you the notes to play. and I can't read sheet music

I'm much less on a piano on the keys so I was like okay so that's when I just bought one of those books but it'll make those books anymore because we got the internet you can just go on there and go on YouTube and watch somebody

I think these books are worth money to know I know I have Resident Evil one the director's cut book and Resident Evil 2 Silent Hill the thing and that was another one I had

I can't remember but oh one of the 20 lock games but return to Silent Hill I'm sure once it starts streaming somewhere I'll just I'll just pick it up I'm not gonna rush out and pay

30 bucks for it now I can I can wait until it drops in price so we'll see but number 13 return to Silent Hill all right this movie not out yet. It's coming out in June, June 12th.

And there's already controversy for it just because of the trailer. And this is Scary Movie 6. I thought this was directed by Marlon Wainz. Or is he just one of the producers? He's, uh, him and his brothers are producing and writing. Uh, Michael Tidd Tiddies or Tids or whatever. I don't think his name is Michael Titties. Yeah. Tidies. I don't know. Whatever. Sorry if you listen. Honor Ferris comes back, Regina Hall, Marvin Wayne, Sean Wains,

Lachland. Everybody. Yeah, everybody that was in the first and some of the, what's his name, David Sheridan from the second one. He's coming back, just from what I've seen in the trailer. Paramount Scary Movie 6 brings the horror spoof series

back to theaters for the first time in over a decade, although we don't know much of the plot. But it's time around the tease when did this article come out so I'm sure there's a plot somewhere The the trail looked funny I'm all about it Let me see does this okay here it is two friends find themselves caught in a mayhem involving killers monsters and supernatural creatures This doesn't give you much But uh it's got every

everyone, ooh, a friend of the show, Felissa Rose. She's also in it. All right, cool. I'm with that. Anthony Anderson, good to see him. I know he was in, was it the third one? I know he popped up in one of them. Yeah, when they did that, him and Kevin did the Brokeback Mountain scene. Yeah. Damon Wayne Jr., he's in it. I like that kid. He's been in a lot of funny TV shows. Dave Sheridan, he's coming back.

as a doofy Gilmore I was like I thought he ran off hiding him and Gail Hale Hale Storm Sherry O'Terry from what I remember

of the first film they did the Kaiser Soze usual suspects Andy which I mean out of all of the scary movies

the first one was the best one that was when they like really went forward second one was okay and then I think the The Wayne's guys didn't really have much to do with the last few.

So I'm kind of like, all right, whatever. I think they were done after three. This one, I get it. And the way the world has changed, the way Marlon Wayne said, it goes, come on, we're ready to laugh. We need to laugh again. Let's put our feelings aside.

But from what people are saying, I get it. but for the old man than I am, I grew up in a different time where everything, nothing was off limits, everything went in the all or nothing days. So I get it though. I don't get it. Because they're coming after everybody.

They're not specifically coming after certain things. Yeah. So, I mean, there is movies that I grew up with. they cannot make today. Oh, they're not making blazing saddles. Yeah, they leave that alone. They could never touch that. I don't think they could do porkies again.

I just recently watched them. How was that movie? We did it. I still need to put it out. Sorry, everyone. Better off tit. Oh, no, not doing that. I don't even think they can do breakfast club if they try to reboot that.

I don't think they can do it If they did They will just change it Change the story Same thing with weird science Two teen boys And an older 20 something Lady

And from what I remember Kelly LeBrock Was obviously over In her 20s And she was kissing Wyatt Donnelly I don't know No his real name

I don't even think he was Of age at the time and she was making out with him and all kinds of got two teen boys standing in the shower with a naked woman in their underwear

they wear in their sweat pads and they had their shoes on 80s were a different time boys and girls but yeah I'm coming number 12 scary movie six uh I'll see it I mean my favorite part in the first one

still is when uh Smokey's sitting there and then the killer calls him and he's all lit up and he's like

hey Smokey or not Smokey what the hell is his name Shorty What are you doing Nothing watching the game

Smokin's a bud watching the game Then they do that whole Hey, enter the phone Watch up all that That shit was hell of It's stupid. A lot of people don't get that.

It was a commercial back in the I only room. It was for a phone. I assume Pacific Bell or something. I don't remember. But that part to me that just makes me laugh every time I see it. Marlon Wayne's, he's the All-Star. A lot of them are like, I don't know about him, everyone. I mean, I know

get it. People do like that movie? I didn't. But as far as his comedic roles, he was awesome in this. He was awesome in Don't Be a Menace. He was also been White Chicks. You know what? He was not too bad at recently. Which one?

Bel Air. I kind of, I watched it. I just couldn't. It was too serious. Well, he played Will's dad and he kind of brought it with the acting. Well, if he can do it, I mean,

if you guys saw him, he did an amazing job. I just, the movie just wasn't for me. So, but Requiem for a dream. Oh, that was the movie that I realized that this guy can act. He's a good actor. He could because we just saw Living Color

and the other movies he had done. And then this, I mean, that movie, Recreed for a Dream was, I think it was before scary movie and everything. So, yeah. That movie, oh, that movie's depressing too. That was all crazy. I haven't seen that in a while.

But man, if you guys haven't seen that one, check that one out. It is scary. That's like real life scary stuff. But anyway, number 12, scary movie six. This one, it already came and went in January. I liked it, but I just didn't enjoy it as much as everyone else was. But this is coming to number 11. This is Send Help.

Directed by Sam Ramey, stars Rachel McAdams and Dailen O'Brien. Rachel McAdams plays Linda Little Little Littleie or Lindle or whatever An office worker who gets stranded on a desert island With her cold-hearted boss Bradley Preston And the pair are forced to work together to stay alive I like both of those actors I love Sam Ramey

But the way they were talking about this movie It's like one of the greatest movies ever It's good I enjoyed it Yeah it was way overhyped for me. So, but I mean, I think people were just, I think people were just happy to have Sam Ramey back in horror.

I didn't even really think it was a horror movie. But that's me, everyone. The last movie for me that hit it out of the park was, Drag Me to Hell, the Sam Ramey did. That was more... 2012? Yeah, that was Evil Dead style. I loved all that.

so we'll see we gotta do that one which one drag me to hell yeah I know I have the scream factory one I'll have to dig it out but yeah I haven't seen that movie in a long time I saw that one three times in a theater I thought that was

hella good I love that film but this one I'll watch it again once it starts streaming again I went and saw the movie movie mainly for Rachel McAdams I liked her they did give

what was her name Mean Girls Regina George Yeah she They gave some love to Mean Girls One of the songs she was listening to in the beginning Was on the Mean Girls soundtrack so Yeah my problem was there was too many

Moments where they were just talking Yeah there was a lot of that So that's what I was watching I thought I was watching a survival horror thriller Not like let's talk about our issues and then have stuff happen and then talk about our issues some more. And eat

berries and fish and whatever else they had. I did like the little twist at the end though. I thought that was cool. All right. Number 10, this movie is still in the theaters. This is Scream 7. We already did it. We did a show on it. It was, it was all right. It was not as bad as Lance's score.

Oh, no. I think I gave it like a five or six or something. I was in the middle. I enjoyed it. Will I buy it? Of course I do. I will. I got all the other ones.

So I might as well fill up the set with this. I'm not sure how it didn't, in the box office. It is the highest grossing movie in the franchise as of today. So I'm guarantee we'll get an eight. at some point. Yeah, but the one good thing about getting an eighth

is Kevin Williamson said he will not be directing. Wow. And I think that's good because he's written some iconic stuff

but he's only directed one thing, one other thing before Scream 7. What was that? I couldn't even tell you. I don't remember. But, He's not a director.

Let me see what this guy's done. I mean, Neff Campbell, Courtney Cox, that was, that got me in the door. I mean, and again, I've seen all the other ones,

but. One of the cameos should have been the killer. Yeah. He wrote Scream, the original one? Yeah. That was the whole big deal about him directing because he wrote the original one.

He wrote the original, he wrote the second one and this one? Yeah. Okay. I don't know what happened with this one, but... Sick. Hmm. Did we do that one? We might have did it for 31.

It was something that was on Peacock. Yeah, the pandemic slasher. Yeah. I think we did that for 31. yeah I think we did What I remember I did like it It was good Yeah

Okay he did some of the screen TV series Or he looks like he wrote 29 episodes All right no The first season was good It was based off of Scream That's probably why his name is The first season was pretty good That last season was garbage

Yeah I liked the one when it was the original cast In the movie or in the TV series. But yeah, when they came back with that last season, I was like, what the hell is this trash? Yeah, it was like the whole new story in cast. I was like, what the fuck is going on? Yeah, I didn't like that one.

I was like, man, this is weak. But they left it alone after that. Well, I was when MTV was kind of bringing me back with that scream show, but then it just fell apart. All right. Number nine, this is not out yet. It's coming out next. month, April 17th, and this is

the Cronin's The Mummy. This new version of the mummy follows the father whose daughter returns eight years after gone missing, but she's possessed by the spirit of an ancient Egyptian mummy. When the spirit starts going after his other child, he's forced to perform a ritual

to save the family. Why don't we kind of make all these monsters all sexy and this is a little kid no I mean they did it with the I liked it I know everyone hated the one with them

Tom Cruise I got a rewatch that I haven't seen that since the soft of the theater I liked it the Zesu as well on East Society we both enjoyed it I mean it was what it was

but this one I'm into it's a twist on the mummy and Lee Cronin, I believe, did Evil Dead Rise, so he knows how to do horror. I like that one. I was shocked on what they did in that one. They went

for it with the blood and killing kids and everything. Yeah, so I'm a little bit confident in this one with him doing it. Yeah, I'm on board. I'll check it out.

Jack, was it Rainer? Leah Costa, Veronica Falcon, and May column away. I think that's what you're saying. Jack Raynor was the guy from Midsamar, the guy in the bear suit. Oh, okay. I need to rewatch that again. I know I saw it twice in the theater.

I did enjoy it, but I haven't seen it since. I guess that was Florence Pug. I love her now, but at that time, I don't think I really knew who she was. It makes me sad In that movie It was from what I understood It was about a breakup Yeah

The director, the writer went through And he just turned to do a movie It's just when she cries And that movie It's sad Yeah Let me see Oh

2017 Is that streaming anywhere Uh Disney Plus, HBO Max, Cinemax. Hmm. I have to knock that one out.

Are they really making another one with Brandon Fraser and all of them? I heard they were done. Did Ready or Not in the previous screen movies.

And they said they're going mostly practice. well I hope so I must be thinking of a different mummy this isn't I'm watching the trailer this isn't the movie I was thinking of hmm man it's gonna be

depressing I can already see it in this little kid yeah oh my gosh uh of course we'll see it um

there's it's kind of looks like Jason little boy Jason geez that's crazy yeah I'm trying to see what else was all in this other than Jack Rainer

I don't even I'm sure I've seen these other people on other things but he's the only one that really comes to me so I don't know we'll see but what I say comes out

April next month April 17th yeah all right My daughter's birthday. All right. This one I heard about it. I didn't, I don't know if there's anything out yet unless you know.

But coming at number eight, they're giving us another one. I enjoyed all of them. I even enjoyed Welcome to Raccoon City, but this is Resident Evil. Zach Krieger, Austin Abrams, Paul Walter. Paul Walter Hauser, Zach Cherry, and Callie Ray. What's about? Austin Avery plays Brian, a medical carrier who accidentally hits a woman while driving through a snowstorm which sets off an outbreak of monstrous proportions. Is there anything out on this yet? Like, is trailer or?

I think they just, I think they just started filming. Oh, okay. 2026. And we all know Zach Craigor from Barbarian and Weapons. I love both of those movies. Shout out to

What's her name? Aunt Gladys. Amy Madigan. Yeah. She won Academy Award winner. Aunt Gladys. Amy Madigan. Shout out to Michael B. Jordan.

As well. I wanted sinners to win. Don't get me wrong. One battle after another was an awesome film, but I thought sinners was better. But that was a good moment when Michael B. Jordan won because all the other nominees legitimately looked like they were happy for him.

Yeah. And plus he got a standing ovation when he went up on stage. Yeah. And they showed him some love at In and Out afterwards. man let that man eat his burger yeah did he go in there but other than with his little film crew that was with him

did he go in by himself because he just sat there and ate his burger and everyone was ah trying to get he did give pictures to everyone I thought that was cool but yeah man let me eat first and he took pictures I love that picture he took with the work crew

when he was standing at the counter I thought that was pretty cool but Resident Evil Did you Like Welcome to Rackham City Yeah I mean there was a Couple of CGI moments

I didn't care for But overall I thought it was entertaining I did too I mean I've said it before It was a combo of the first And the second game And I loved it The previous ones with Mila and all that

I think it was just Resident Title And the GD G virus or whatever the hell was called and Nemesis and a couple other things that was about it because it totally went a totally different direction

but we'll see all right number seven evil dead burn I'm waiting for this I am too but I am not even we get we get another we get another one next year too I'm not going to try

with this director's name something something they got little things over the seas and he did that movie i know you're talking about i'm not going to try to pronounce his name either he did uh that infested spider movie on shutter the french one which one infested oh i still haven't seen that one i was the one that um i knew you hadn't seen it yet michael keeps telling michael yeah mike keeps telling me to watch he's like watch it, watch it. It's good.

All right. But I know you've got a thing with spiders. But they're not real. Is it real spiders or CGI spiders? Both. Oh. Because eight-legged freak, it was majority CGI spiders

when they got bigger, but I can handle it. I like that movie. Anaconda, Anaconda. Araknafobia? I know the big Giant Spider was fake, but the little ones weren't. It's a combination of both.

All right. I'll see. But evil dead burn. I just know the director said this one's going to hurt. Oh, man. I don't know if this is a picture from the movie, because I don't remember this in the other one, but who knows I could be wrong. It says here there is little about it.

So not really said that. Even on IMDB, there's nothing. What I like about it is Sam Ramey wrote a Bible for all these movies to go off of. So people aren't just making up shit as they go. So they're all going to be connected. Well, they kind of connected it with the last film, with all of them. Because I thought. Yeah, because they said there was multiple Necronomicon.

Yeah. So I'm like, ah, okay, I get it. now so I'm all with it so at some point we could get ash so yeah but then it'll just turn into a comedy he's producing

this one he's involved okay because if if ash comes back in it'll it'll just turn into comedy because yeah these last two were like

super serious. So I don't know. I mean, we'll see. But there's, yeah, there's, there's different, there's books of the dead, the Necronomicon.

So I'm like, all right, cool, I get it now. So I'm all for it. Because the book in the last one, that one looked cool. Had the teeth or everything.

Yeah. The one coming out next year, the one coming out next year, evil dead wrath. It's still, it's going to be a serious one, too. Well, this one is slated to come out this summer, July 24th. All right, this one, I've heard a little about it.

I assume it's, is it a remake of the great Clint Howard? Or is this just a complete different story from director Eli Roth? Coming in number six, Ice Cream Man. Ice cream man follows what happens during the summer when an ice cream man serves kids sweet delights with horrifying results, which plagues a town into chaos. New story. So it's got nothing to do with Clint Howard's ice cream man, right? No, but they are making a sequel to that one also. And Clint Howard's coming back.

Well, he better. He's the ice cream man. We'll have to do the first one. I haven't seen that movie. I think I only seen it once. And that was during the VHS days. You know, got the Vinegar Syndrome edition? I do not.

And I'm going to have to. When did that come out? 95? Yeah. So why didn't I think it was in the 80s? Has the 80s feel to it. It was still during the VHS era. Hmm. Don't look like it's streaming anywhere.

But this new one, I'm into it. I like Eli Roth, even though Land thinks he's a complete hack. I like Thanksgiving. It wasn't the grind house version, but it was still entertaining. It gave us a new killer, the Pilgrim or whatever he was called. but ice cream man yeah I mean Eli Roth he's he's hitting this with me I was all about him in the beginning and then

what was that one The Green Inferno I was kind of like I mean is he ever going to go back to that Because the way he ended That dude that led him all out into the Amazon was still alive because there was a little a little mid-credit scene.

I don't think nobody liked it, so I don't think he is going to go back to it. I mean, I enjoyed it enough to buy it, but I was kind of let down. Like, this is just basically cannibal Holocaust with a bigger budget, I thought, but who am I?

I'll see this. I mean, Eli brought me back with Thanksgiving, so I'll check it out. This is in the theaters right now. I'm hearing bad things about it, but I still want to see it. This is Maggie Jillinghalls, The Bride. It's got Jesse Buckley, Batman, Christian Bale, Peter Scarsagard, Annette Benning, and Bubble Boy, Jake Jalenhaald, and Penelope Cruz. Did you see this one yet? No, I'm hearing mixed things.

neither you're going to really love it or you're going to hate it. Yeah. I can't really, the bigger reviewer guys on YouTube, I don't know if people pay them, hey, just give us a good review and we'll give you a couple hundred bucks. We'll do that too if you want to give us some money. Scream 7 was 10 out of 10. Yep, we'll take that check.

We'll cash it. but I still want to see it I meant to go out this weekend and see it but I wouldn't seen something else but somebody had posted on Facebook that their review kind of made sense he said it's not a horror movie it's a crime

thriller with horror elements I didn't think it was a horror movie I just thought it was a love story type of thing an old-time gangster movie with Frankenstein and the bride of Frankenstein.

I like the way Christian Bale looks. I mean, that's kind of the big reason I want to see it. The Guillermo del Toro one, that Frankenstein, that won a few Oscars last night. The

first half to me was boring. The Dr. Frankenstein's story. The monster, his story at the end, that last half. That was good. What was that? You liked his version. Who, Germos? You liked his version of the story?

No, the Frankenstein. The monster? I did. I liked that part. It was more interesting. Dr. Frankenstein was just like, I mean, I like the whole set and everything. I think it won for that.

And I think it won to special effects or something. I can't remember exactly what I won, but they won a few things. But I liked how the monster looked. There's another. Why do they keep getting pretty guys to be Frankenstein or the monster? This one is well, the bride. I'll see it.

I remember I wasn't really like, what is this and then I mean I like Maggie Jillen Hall so I'm like all right I'll she's directing this let me I'll give it a shot if I don't see it in the theater I'm sure I'll see it eventually at some point before the year is up so

number five the bride all right this one coming at number four this is Clayface based off of DC Comics character who is in this this is

James Watkins is directing it written by Mike Flanagan and Ha-Hsan Amini, I think so I think that's what you say it Max Minghella What is this gentleman? He looks familiar

Oh, he's been in a ton of things He's been in some things I liked Spiral I wanted the end he was The spoiler alert He was the bad guy in that one. Social network, I

didn't care for that film. But what is this? You're not going to watch the sequel? To what? Social network? Social network. What is that one? MySpace? I don't know. I don't know. We'll see. Again, I didn't care for it, everyone.

I know everyone's like, oh my god, it's like one of the greatest movies ever made. I'm like, I don't know what you guys are watching, but all right. Anyway, Clayface, a shape-shifting creature made of magical clay haunts Gotham City. Alternating between villain and ally of Batman, multiple tragic figures have taken on the Clayface mantle over the years. It's just the DC-EU or whatever they call it, their expansion universe. I mean, they're trying to bring in It seems like

They're just trying to bring in characters That don't really Have that big of A following This is not a part of the main Not a part of the main universe This is not a part of James Gunn's deal, right?

No All right, see, I don't Is this, well, let me see what it says Why is this excited DC is flutter with moments of horror movies like the dark night and the batman horror movies but a complete body horror movie set in the james gun okay i guess it is it's set in the james gun new dc universe is a fascinating it's he's ahead of all of it but like this clay face will not show up in superman

I think it would probably be better in that because there was a lot of wackiness in that last Superman movie. I can't see this popping up in the Batman or whatever Batman movie James Gunn is going to bring us. But I don't know. I think in James Guns' DC universe, this could fit into it because he did, like I said, Superman. They did have moments of wackiness so I could see Clayface rolling in there. But I don't know. We'll see it. And I know that's what they've been writing on when this first was announced. It's a DC horror movie, comic horror movie. And I'm like, hmm, I'll see it. I see every comic book movie made. I mean, we, East Society, we do our favorite comic book movies of the year.

each year because we get we get a handful of comic book movies I know Marvel Studios has kind of eased up a little on all their stuff

because they were putting out stuff boom boom boom left and right so but and of course we're getting doomsday that that's coming I'm excited for it but I

know there's going to be more of the Avengers and everything so we'll see but shout out to um robert downy junior junior last night he rolled up with his uh his green tuxedo i thought that was pretty sweet but clay face this is a character that i didn't really care for reading in the books so i mean i liked them when he popped up on the super friends and everything when i was a kid but it wasn't something that really like oh clay face is awesome but we have different technology to make make him look good so we'll see

what they do this is not coming out until September so we'll see and as far I haven't seen anything yet so I don't know if they have anything ready to release maybe around Comic Con in July we'll get something so we'll see or whatever that

no that's Disney that thing so I don't know Comic Con maybe they'll probably pump something out there but Are you familiar with this character? A little bit from the animated series, but I think they revamped the character in the comic books. So it's probably going to be more closer to the horror aspect they're trying to go for. All right. We'll see.

Brian and I will talk about it, so we'll see once it comes out. Yeah. Expect more during Comic-Con. All right. This next one comes about it. number three, Robert Eggers. Is it a werewolf? With

kickass, Aaron Taylor, Johnson, Lily Rose, Depp, William Defoe, and Ralph Inson. This is coming out on Christmas, December 25th. A British village in the 13th century becomes a haunting ground for a terrifying monster. Okay, I haven't really seen anything. I don't even know if there isn't anything out for this yet, is there?

As far as I know, this is just basically Nisphiratu, but with the Werewolf. Well, they're showing, the picture they're showing of Lily Rose Depp at this. Yeah, this is from Nostphirau, too. But did you like that one? No. It was different. It was okay. It was a little.

they could have cut some of it out because it just kind of drug and parts. As far as visually, I thought it looked cool. Yeah, visually, it was amazing. The guy knows how to shoot a movie, but I was bored to tears throughout most of it. What's his name? I didn't even know that was him, Pennywise. Yeah, Bill. Yeah, Bill Scars.

I didn't realize that was him until the credits were rolling. I didn't really look into it on who was in. I knew that Johnny Depp's daughter was in it. That was about it. But I don't, I didn't like it enough to why I'm going to buy it. But it was all right. I was glad that I saw in the theater. But this one, I know what to expect.

Just be better. So we'll see. We'll see what happens. I won't go see it on Christmas. Maybe the day after. But we'll see. No, watching Doom. Day on Christmas.

Yeah, I have to go see that because I don't want nothing spoiled. Oh, I forgot Dunes Day. What was that? Dunes Day. The Marvel one or that Crazy one? Dunn Part 3 and Doomsday.

Oh. The same day. Dune? Dune's fucking badass. I'd like the second one more than the first part. But what's his name is Under Fire for some comments.

teammate. Marty Supreme, Timothy Chalamee. What did he say? I guess he said something about the opera or something like that and everybody was ready to lynching because they

were going off on him last night on the Oscars. I don't know exactly what he said, but yeah, they didn't that movie was up for all kinds of awards. went anything. All right.

In March of 2026, Timothy Shalame faced backlash for suggesting that no one cares about ballet and opera. Oh, my God.

Arguing he wouldn't want to work in fields requiring efforts to keep this thing alive. His remark was... I thought you were going to say he said something controversial. show.

His comment didn't bother me. It's not going to make me loosely, but I get why people are upset. And this young gentleman has a platform to whatever you, anybody that has some kind of a platform

in Hollywood, you say something. They're going to come after me. People probably come after me with all the shit that I say. But who am I? I'm just an old grandpa The grumpy old grandpa talking shit But yeah

I mean I can I get it I mean the opera and the ballet isn't for me I've sat through enough of it in my lifetime To appreciate what it is But I wouldn't I wouldn't I couldn't go What do you say?

No one cares I couldn't say anything like that I mean I just say it's not for me But I mean I'm not bashing anyone That does it the dancers or the performers and the singers and opera. It's just, it's not for me, but. I'm going to go out on a limb and say, I think he'll be okay.

I think he'll get through this controversy. Of course he will. I mean, it's not like he was kicking puppies or anything, but... That's what I thought you were about to tell me. No, I mean, it was just some things that he said. I don't know if it was in an interview or what, but... Everybody, man, they were, they were talking shit, making jokes about it last night on the Oscars. I don't know if it was true or not.

I guess Steven Spielberg threw his hat into it. There was going, look, look, somebody was filming. Look, Timothy Shalmay is going to walk by Steven Spielberg. Stephen Spielberg is not even going to say anything to him. He probably didn't even know that kid was behind him. He was talking to other people and do Steven Spielberg and doing this thing. I mean, he didn't have time for all this. So, but I don't know.

You guys read into it on whatever. I mean, but we'll see. Uh, I'll do in three. Of course I'll see it. I've seen the other ones. Ready or not two. Here I come. Coming in at number two.

Directed by Matt Battelli. Betanelli Radio Silence Let's just go with that Old Pin and Tyler Gillette Uh Stars Samara Weaving Catherine Newton

Uh Sarah Michelle Geller She's not Buffy the Vampire Slayer I don't care what anyone says Christy Swanson's Buffy But I do love Sarah Michelle Geller

That's Kendall From all my children Anyway Nestor Carbano And Kevin Duran And Olivia

Chang and a bunch of other thing David Cronenberg and Elijah Wood don't stare into his eyes we'll always have Comic Conn what did I say? I said is it me

or did he have the prettiest eyes oh man Elijah Wood shout out to him if you're around you're listening but this comes out later this month and every movie I've seen recently this trailer is

attached to it I don't even remember the first one again. I'm going to have to go back and rewatch the first before I go see this one because this one, it looks like it continues right after the first movie, because she's still all beat up and bloody. So we'll see. In the aftermath of her deadly game

with the Lodomis family in the first film, Grace Lodomas has to fight to survive again after other wealthy families are given the chance to take over their games. gaming empire if they managed to kill her. Twisting this one, they bring her sister in to it and they're on the run trying to get away from all these rich people that are trying to kill them. I was shocked at the first movie.

I didn't know what to expect and I thought that movie was awesome. So I assume this one is just going to be as awesome. Maybe not as much as the first one, but I think it's going to be a good thrill ride of senseless violence and bloody explosions and all that because they show a little bit in the trailer and blood splatters everywhere. So I'm all about it.

I'm ready for this one. Did you like the first one? Yeah, I love the first one. You know, at the horror returns, we're big fans of Samarrow Weaving, and I like they bringing in Catherine Newton, Sarah Michelle Geller, Elijah Wood, you know, a whole bunch of people

into this one. I like the whole idea that it's multiple families coming after her now. yeah we'll see how this one is ready or not is that streaming anywhere I know I have it on it's on Hulu or Disney Plus whatever

do you got I know I have it somewhere but my movies are so just piles of movies here in this one um this is uh what I say what's coming out this later this month so where are we

March 16 that was that was number number two. No, I'm seeing. Oh. Next week. Next Friday. This will be Thursday, 26.

We go to the earlier showings, but it's coming out really soon. All right. This one already came and went. And this is the number one. This was right in the beginning of the year, January 14th. And this is 28 years later, the Bone Temple. This fucking better get a sequel. Because they're saying it might not get a sequel now. Just did it not?

I thought this one was better than the first one or the first part. Critically, this new trilogy. Critically, this one was way better. But financially, it did worse than the previous one. Why?

I mean, I thought it was good. I loved it. It was good. I was not expecting much because the first part was like, eh, okay. It was okay.

Um It did Take rotten tomatoes for what it is It was certified fresh It was 92 and the audience score Popcorn meter gave in 88 But But

I get it It was senseless violence Uh dealing with the jimmies I know that kind of rub people Uh the wrong way But I don't know what they wanted I know some reviewers are like

It's not like the original film. Well, of course not. It's not going to nothing. This is 28 years later from the first one. I mean, the world is changed in 28 years. I mean, yeah, the world's completely changed from when that first one came out. Real world from that first movie to this one. But I wasn't expecting much for this one.

I only seen it because I had seen the last few movies. So I'm like, okay, I invested all my time into those other ones. Let me see this one. And I was curious on who the jimmies were because the way that first part ended. I was the hell of these guys. And then the movie ended. And then we got this one, the further adventure of the jimmies. And the first 28 years later, if you guys remember, I just recently watched it.

At the end, when the jimmy show up, man, there was a ton of them. Now, in this one, there was only what, seven or eight of them? and I don't know, maybe they lost them or maybe some went on different adventures, but I was curious on who this character was, who Jimmy was, and why everyone else was was following in his footsteps and being a part of his little Jimmy Colt. The fingers is what he called him. I thought it was good, and Ray Fines, as, As the doctor coming back and we're seeing a little more of him,

I like that whole story of him in Samson. It was like kind of a heartwarming story. And it did take a different turn from what we got of the infected, just running while trying to infect you and everything. It's like the whole thing changed. There's mutations in the virus and the rage virus and everything. But I thought this movie was hell of good. Right now, it's like on one of my best.

best of the year. I really love this film. So, but I don't, I get why people didn't care for it. I mean, a lot of the people, some of my friends they were like, oh, it was, it was too crazy. I didn't like the jimmies.

They were too violent. Why were they killing? I was just... Well, I don't think people didn't care for this movie and think they just didn't watch it because they didn't care for the first one. see i had to i just i would it just left me off of like who the hell are these guys i need to see i mean i would have seen it anyway but when it when it came out i saw like the early showing the the thursday showings it's like i needed to see what was going on and and ray finds he's an

amazing actor so i was all about him and i wanted to see more of uh what's his name story, Spike on how he happened. And the way this one ended, they better make a third one because I want to see what happened. Spoiler alert. Jim comes back from the original

film. Yeah, he said he's whatever happens. He's down to do the next one. Yeah, Academy Award winner. Killian Murphy. I mean, is that a name? Killian.

Sillion. I don't know. I think it's Killion. Sillian, I don't know, whatever. Him. Scarecrow. I just recently watched the turn night again. But I don't know what everyone wants. I thought this movie was awesome.

Like I said, this is definitely on my one of the movies on my best of list. Because I was like, man, this movie movie was crazy and I loved it. And not just because Iron Maiden and Durand, Duran and the soundtrack that they popped into it. But, man, this movie was hell of good. And Jack O'Connell, I mean, he did an awesome job in Cinners,

but every time they kept, the camera was on him last night on the Oscars, I kept going, Jimmy, and my wife was like, what are you talking about? I said, you need to watch 28 years later.
