it was a rough revisit for me lol some of the fight scenes are fun but all the stuff in between is a slog and the final gunkata confrontation really gives up the game on how silly it looks
I like Kon more (though I love Von Trier), but the Miyazaki series was such a disappointment, that I kinda don't trust them with another anime director
Here’s the thing: the failures of the Superman sequels are interesting, weird swings. The bad TMNT sequels have nothing to talk about—in the 90s the costumes just get cheaper and the stories duller, and then the Bay-produced ones are just “oh the turtles look weird and uncanny”
It is truly wild that almost all modern zombie tropes are born here. The running zombies, man as the true villain, and the scuzzy aesthetics are all still deployed to this day.
“man is the true villain” dates back to at least Day of the Dead, which is mainly about the conflict between the military and scientists in an underground installation. There’s basically only one zombie for 90% of the film
i’m not gonna go so far as to say it’s good, but i think the remake is fun with a few tall glasses of water. At the very least, you get some great Tom Atkins
IV is probably my pick for worst superhero film of all time. I understand if someone were to say something like Steel is more incompetent but (1) difference in the raw materials at your disposal and (2) Reeves dragged III over the finish line through pure force of will and this is the send off he’s repaid with?
Haven’t seen it yet, but I just recently realized they recast Cassie. What a slap in the face to the Endgame actress. She got one scene and now someone more famous gets to be the superhero with a major role.
Trying to think of a character who fucked up harder than Benedict Wong did in Sunshine. Any suggestions?
Let the Park Chan-Wook-ie win
I thought this was cool at SHIT when I was 17 and haven't seen it since, so it's probably a really safe bet that it infact sucks ass.

Regina George voice stop trying to make Cocaine Bear happen!
No Tom Sizemore!
i think, given the pedo assault allegations and history of abuse, that was probably a strategic choice.
Vote Dick so you can hear people react to the ending of Next in real-time
I mean, just imagine Griffin trying to do that Hanks faux-Dutch accent
"We are the same, you and I! We are two odd, lonely podcasts, reaching for eternity."
I love FD but The Purge is definitely the more interesting franchise. Each film does a lot to build on what came before. The First Purge rocks.

just a failson trying to mask his weird misogyny as pushing the boundaries of TV with empty edgelord bullshit.
Failson doesn’t really apply to a guy this powerful with the biggest show on tv. Nepo baby edgelord
good point haha
Id be happy with either but my pitch for Rocky is that the films have much more interesting relationships to each other because it’s a franchise.

My favourite Romero! Unbelievable score, too. ❤️
Same here!
Satoshi Kon vs. LvT in round 1 feels like a personal attack
“I’m gonna miss the chase.”/“No, you won’t” is such an incredible small exchange

Just listening to the episode now…
Thank you!
Chaotic Dumb Guy—never change, Bill
Wasn't there a Hercules already with The Rock? He didn't sing in that? Lol
it was actually a lot of fun! it has a neat spin on the idea, although you need to stomach it being directed by Bret Ratner
look it’s far from the point…but wtf is that haircut, holy shit
Superman III is watchable through the sheer force of will of one (super)man. Might even be his best performance across all the movies.

it’s especially bad bc she found out she had been recast the same moment we all did, when the news hit the internet
My name is Darren
Lmao at this being the one they felt compelled to save
the perfect opportunity to drop the “but” billing
