Resident Evil: Retribution Commentary

Resident Evil: Retribution Commentary

Whether you love these movies or hate them, I think the one thing that can't be denied about them overall is the fact that they're mindlessly entertaining... So that's how I go about them. It's not an amazing script or great performance I check for. It's the insanity from the games on screen. And trust me, there's lots of insane antics to go around here. Enjoy, folks.

My Best Friend's Wedding Commentary (First Time Watch)

My Best Friend's Wedding Commentary (First Time Watch)

It seems that rom-coms are expected if I'm going to be sticking with the requests from my listeners, but that's okay... Love is in the air well after February, but clearly there's toxins there as well. Toxic behavior on Julia Roberts' behalf, and I'm over it. Enjoy, people.

Deadpool And Wolverine Official Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

Deadpool And Wolverine Official Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

I am in awe... Enjoy, y'all.

Land Of The Dead Commentary

Land Of The Dead Commentary

It all has led to this... Well, kind of, because there's two more films to come after this one. But this was the film that has parts of what George A. Romero had in mind back when he made Day Of The Dead. And now, a major studio and a new budget allows him to show his ultimate vision on screen. Problem for me is that said budget and studio seem to be a big part of the problem as to why this movie is so flawed. Enjoy, folks.
Apr 19, 202401:55:57
Trap Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

Trap Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

A surprise trailer today, but an intriguing one nonetheless... M. Night Shyamalan has become synonymous with all things considered to be intriguing or mysterious overall. Let's see what him and Josh Hartnett are here to deliver. Enjoy, people.

Halloween Stalks II Commentary (First Time Watch)

Halloween Stalks II Commentary (First Time Watch)

If it's involving Halloween and Michael Myers, I'm in... Because we all know that you can't kill the Boogeyman. And that goes for theatrical films AND fan films. Enjoy, folks.
Apr 17, 202442:59
Serendipity Commentary (First Time Watch)

Serendipity Commentary (First Time Watch)

Me and my low key love for a good rom-com is front and center again, but I was brand new to this so I went in with an open mind... An odd pairing for sure, but that's the way love goes at times. In this case, it doesn't come easy at all. Enjoy, people.
Apr 15, 202401:44:00
Serial Mom Commentary

Serial Mom Commentary

We've seen the slashing sprees of women like Pamela Voorhees in Friday The 13th and Mrs. Loomis in Scream 2, but it's time to make some noise for Beverly Sutphin... A woman who can make a killing all around the neighborhood, and still make it back home in time for dinner with the family. That's one way to prioritize. Enjoy, people.
Apr 12, 202401:49:41
My Thoughts On The New Scary Movie Reboot

My Thoughts On The New Scary Movie Reboot

I had talked about this years back when it was just rumored to be happening, but it was confirmed today... One of the most successful parody franchises is coming back under a new studio and possibly with some new faces. Whether the Wayans will be on board is up in the air, but I've got lots to say either way. Enjoy, y'all.
Apr 11, 202448:29
Joker: Folie A Deux Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

Joker: Folie A Deux Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

There was once a movie based on the Joker that didn't need to happen... It happened. And now there's an unnecessary sequel we have here. A musical to be exact. Can y'all feel the excitement through my words? Me either. Enjoy, people.
Apr 11, 202437:56
MaXXXine Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

MaXXXine Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

There was X, then we had Pearl, and now there's MaXXXine in the building... Ti West may have some films that I'm completely unfamiliar with, but this series has been a great surprise overall. I didn't even think X needed a prequel but after seeing it, I was ready for this. Enjoy, y'all.
Apr 09, 202428:09
Scary Movie 2 Commentary

Scary Movie 2 Commentary

I'm actually very glad that I got around to this one, because it's a constant reminder that the Wayans Brothers are needed in order for this series to get back on track. Theresa certain raunchy charm to their parodies, so this was the last time that a Scary Movie flick felt like it was really pushing the envelope. Short lived run, but it still counts. Enjoy, folks.
Apr 08, 202401:31:16
Why Did I Get Married Too Commentary

Why Did I Get Married Too Commentary

I can only imagine what kind of trigger this was for audience members who were married, divorced, or even contemplating marriage... It's crazy what an impact Tyler Perry can make on screen, but this is one of the better made films as a whole and it gets better each watch honestly. Enjoy, people.
Apr 05, 202402:09:07
Joy Ride Commentary

Joy Ride Commentary

Road trip from hell movies will always have a special place in my heart, so this was a great time to be had both back then and today for April Fool's... Because if there's one on screen joke or prank that goes way too far, it's the one involving Rusty Nail here. Sequels aside, this is one that's deserving of being a household name in the genre. Enjoy, people.
Apr 01, 202401:50:16
Bad Boys: Ride Or Die Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

Bad Boys: Ride Or Die Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

There's a reason this happened... Enjoy, y'all.

Alien: Romulus Teaser Talk (I Am PUMPED For This!)

Alien: Romulus Teaser Talk (I Am PUMPED For This!)

Fede Alvarez for the win... Enjoy, folks.

The Crow 2024 Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

The Crow 2024 Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

"Tell them Eric Draven sends his regards"... Enjoy, folks.
Mar 14, 202439:04
Waiting To Exhale Commentary

Waiting To Exhale Commentary

One time for the ladies... There's a shortage of males to root for in this film, but I can put my own complaints aside and celebrate a film that places it's ladies in the forefront, all while being directed by a man. Forest Whitaker is a man of many hats. Enjoy, people.
Mar 11, 202402:19:45
Mea Culpa Commentary

Mea Culpa Commentary

I had this all figured out before I even attempted to watch it... I was led astray here. Enjoy, y'all.
Mar 06, 202402:11:05
The Strangers: Chapter 1 Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

The Strangers: Chapter 1 Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

"Why" was always the first word that came to mind when it came to this reboot idea... Then somewhere out there, Renny Harlin heard me and said he's not only got one movie in store here, but he's got two more afterwards. I guess that makes me about as lucky as this couple being stalked by The Strangers. Enjoy, people.
Mar 01, 202431:60
The Temptations Pt.1 IntoxiCommentary

The Temptations Pt.1 IntoxiCommentary

There were drinks, songs, dramatic moments, and epic events... Of course I had myself a time here. Bare with me. Enjoy, y'all.
Mar 01, 202401:35:38
Borderlands Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

Borderlands Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

On screen video game adaptations are still going strong, whether they're good or bad and this is one that I'm unfamiliar with... I'm digging the cast here and the post apocalyptic settings, but I've got a lot to learn about this rag tag group. Enjoy, people.
Feb 27, 202432:08
Wendell & Wild Commentary (First Time Watch)

Wendell & Wild Commentary (First Time Watch)

It was between this one and Soul, but I wasn't ready for the rumored waterworks due to that content... So I picked the flick that my daughter has been telling me to watch for a long time. She always gets her way. Enjoy, people.
Feb 26, 202401:55:54
Barbershop: The Next Cut Commentary

Barbershop: The Next Cut Commentary

I'm really starting to feel like this is one of the more underappreciated black cinema franchises out here... The original was a good feel and the second got a bit more wild, but this is the one that we'll look back on and realize just how much of an impact it has today. Ice Cube is a man that knows quality work when he sees it. Enjoy, folks.
Feb 23, 202402:10:37
Sting Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

Sting Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

Spiders again?!?... I can't even be upset by this because I do this to myself, and I always manage to go into these expecting to be creeped out. It's my own fault, but I might as well strap myself in and see how well this makes my phobia go into high gear. Enjoy, y'all.
Feb 22, 202430:20
X-Men '97 Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

X-Men '97 Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

I need y'all to understand how much the OG X-Men animated series meant to not only me, but to fans all across the world... The theme song alone was enough to jumpstart our morning, afternoon or night the moment it kicked in, and the episodes were way ahead of their time. So if the MCU can't get it done live action, this will damn sure do. Enjoy, people.
Feb 22, 202426:11
Jumping The Broom Commentary

Jumping The Broom Commentary

This is a great example of what can transpire when worlds collide... Two different families from two different walks of life are brought together for a pre-wedding weekend sounds pretty simple, right? But there's absolutely nothing simple about marriage in these movies, as comedic as things may get. Enjoy, y'all.
Feb 21, 202402:09:03
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire Trailer 2 Reaction/Thoughts

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire Trailer 2 Reaction/Thoughts

Kong and Godzilla threw hands, then they put their differences aside to beat the brakes off of MechaGodzilla... So now that they're at least cordial, there's a bigger threat at hand. And another surprise threat I had nooo idea about. Pun intended, this will be BIG. Enjoy, folks.
Feb 21, 202419:11
Twisters Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

Twisters Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

To whom it may concern, please find a chill button on all these natural disaster movies, please?... It's bad enough the 90s took over with that sub-genre, but now I'm about to be introduced to a resurgence of destruction. As if it ever left. Enjoy, people.
Feb 20, 202432:01
Roll Bounce Commentary

Roll Bounce Commentary

From the Gardens to Sweet Water, the comedic antics and coming of age moments don't stop here, even on skates at full speed... This is a movie I never would've thought I'd enjoy on different levels, but here we are with another underrated period piece. Malcolm D. Lee does right by the culture. Enjoy, people.
Feb 19, 202402:01:07
Tales From The Hood Commentary

Tales From The Hood Commentary

I know what I said about the hood movies this month... I also know exactly why I chose to do this movie in every sense. I think it's a legit reason this movie has content and themes that have aged gracefully. Enjoy, y'all.
Feb 16, 202401:55:51
Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes Trailer 2 Reaction/Thoughts

Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes Trailer 2 Reaction/Thoughts

With how insane and amazing these apes have been on screen in multiple film properties, I'm about ready for them to set up shop in real Life and have at it... I'm not so sure I'm prepared for that, but maybe this new movie can be my survival guide in some ways. Enjoy, people.
Feb 15, 202430:47
The Weekend Commentary (Happy Valentine's Day)

The Weekend Commentary (Happy Valentine's Day)

There was so much frustration while watching this movie... Not that it's bad in the slightest, but the situations these characters find and put themselves in are just wild and it's a surprise nobody was injured during this weekend getaway. Seriously. Enjoy, y'all.
Feb 14, 202401:40:34
Deadpool & Wolverine Teaser Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

Deadpool & Wolverine Teaser Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

All it took was Ryan Reynolds to bring Hugh Jackman back into his most iconic role for a second swan song... It only makes me wonder what other strings he pulled to get the countless cameos fans are rumored to get here. This better be a top 5 comic book movie experience for the ages. Enjoy, folks.
Feb 13, 202416:18
The Wood Commentary

The Wood Commentary

I'm not sure how close this is to being an actual biopic based on Rick Famuyia's Life but either way, this is yet another staple in black cinema... It's almost too relatable at times which is insane, but it makes the spot in my heart for it that much bigger. From the writing to the casting and the situations these characters are faced with, consider this one of the best coming of age stories ever told on screen. Enjoy, people.
Feb 12, 202401:58:55
Knuckles Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

Knuckles Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

With how Knuckles pretty much stole the show for a good portion of the Sonic 2 movie, this was almost inevitable... And while he's a much more serious character as opposed to Sonic and Tails, I think his own solo adventure will loosen him up and bring some fun his way. Whether he likes it or not. Enjoy, folks.
Feb 11, 202434:17
Imaginary Trailer 2 Reaction/Thoughts

Imaginary Trailer 2 Reaction/Thoughts

Blumhouse and these damn dolls, bears, and inanimate objects in general are on a rampage... BUT I will say that this trailer did something I didn't expect it to do. It won me over, all while still leaving a bit to the imagination. Enjoy, people.
Feb 08, 202425:51
A Quiet Place: Day One Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

A Quiet Place: Day One Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

Shhhhhhhhhh... Enjoy, people.
Feb 08, 202424:23
Winnie The Pooh: Blood And Honey 2 Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

Winnie The Pooh: Blood And Honey 2 Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

I'll keep this pretty simple here... The first one was absolutley terrible. And while I'm not banking on this one to be anything amazing at all, I at least want to walk away from this with some cool kills and cheesy good fun. Wishful thinking I suppose. Enjoy, folks.
Feb 06, 202425:59
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Commentary

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Commentary

Exactly what the subtitle says... Enjoy, y'all.
Feb 06, 202402:50:46
Beat Street Commentary

Beat Street Commentary

Let's kick off Black History month with a movie that I think just screams and shouts for the culture... Whether it's Hip Hop, art, dancing, fashion, it's all put on full display here and there's so much to go back on and appreciate. God bless Stan Lathan, man. Enjoy, people.
Feb 02, 202401:58:04
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire Trailer 2 Reaction/Thoughts

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire Trailer 2 Reaction/Thoughts

If there's one thing this trailer has, it's got my old buddy Slimer back into the fold... I can appreciate that bit of nostalgia there. Enjoy, people.
Jan 30, 202427:37
Batman Forever Commentary (Happy 62nd Birthday, Jim Carrey)

Batman Forever Commentary (Happy 62nd Birthday, Jim Carrey)

I started to put this in my Forever Defending Editions, but it goes without saying the more I compliment this one... This was at least an entertaining Batman movie before we got the next one. Sure, it's far from Tim Burton's vision, but there's bits that carried on and made this worth while. Enjoy, y'all.
Jan 18, 202402:16:16
The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

It seems like Rick and Michonne just cannot stay put in one place, or at least one season... Their joint or separate adventures always get them into some bs, but it always seems to make for a good seek and find. Let's hope this entertainment is no different. Enjoy, folks.
Jan 16, 202427:47
Lift Commentary (First Time Watch)

Lift Commentary (First Time Watch)

When Kevin Hart hits on screen, he hits hard and I feel like his dramatic acting chops are really skyrocketing... But when wants to combine a bit of the dramatics with comedy and action, I'm curious to see it. And having F. Gary Gray place Kevin Hart and a select few others on a terrorist filled plane during a heist, let's just say that's quite the juggling act. Enjoy, people.
Jan 15, 202401:57:27
Talk To Me Commentary (Second Chance Opportunity?)

Talk To Me Commentary (Second Chance Opportunity?)

I've done the unthinkable... I've given this movie a second chance. I tend to do this often, but I had my mind made up about this one here and lots of people hated my opinion. And it's not that I absolutely hated this movie, but it's a run of the mill supernatural one. Or is it? Enjoy, y'all.
Jan 12, 202401:44:19
Mr. & Mrs. Smith 2024 Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

Mr. & Mrs. Smith 2024 Trailer Reaction/Thoughts

Yes, I know we've seen this all before, and many times before... But it's got Donald Glover behind and in front of the scenes, so I was automatically sold on that. Enjoy, people.
Jan 12, 202422:48
Leave The World Behind Commentary (First Time Watch)

Leave The World Behind Commentary (First Time Watch)

Y'all already know I'm down with post apocalyptic movies in a very big way, when they're done properly... I went into this pretty blindly and I think was the best thing to do. And as much as I love isolation and the idea of being as far away from people as possible, this takes that concept to a height I haven't quite seen on screen just yet. Enjoy, people.
Jan 08, 202402:29:07
The Woman In The Room Commentary (First Time Watch)

The Woman In The Room Commentary (First Time Watch)

Big shout out to Danny Donnelly, Nick Peetros and Aimee Theresa for letting me get a peek at this prior to their release... In a world where there's sooo many Stephen King adaptations on the small and big screens, I never thought a short would catch my attention like this. And it still leaves a lot to the imagination. Enjoy, people.
Jan 06, 202442:10
The First Omen Trailer Reaction/Thoughts/Rant

The First Omen Trailer Reaction/Thoughts/Rant

Yes, it says "Rant" in the episode title... It pissed me off that much. Not my best rant by far, but what I said was WELL deserved here. This is nonsense. Enjoy, folks.
Jan 03, 202423:54
