Since they are doing horror movies for the summer reruns I really hope we get Silver Bullet. I have a lot of nostalgia for both the movie (it scared the poo poo out of me as kid) and the episode (it was the first one I ever listened too, back before I could tell the guys apart).

I was just thinking that. The Silver Bullet episode really made me a follower of the show since they gave it fairly strong praise and universal recommends. I love the movie for admittedly nostalgic reasons, but I also think it's basically a perfect horror movie even if the creature effects are a little low budget.

The bully kid getting wrecked in the gazebo really hosed me up as a kid. I remember they imply more than show how hosed up his corpse is, and I couldn't stop imagining how messed up he might be. Probably my first real exposure to horror movie gore/violence. I think the Gary Busey factor means there is a strong chance we get it before the summer reruns are done.

I really liked it too. It was one of the first episodes I heard while still on the fence. I haven't seen the film but I did read Stephen King's cycle of the Werewolf and I remember thinking this film sounds a hell of a lot like it in the introduction.

Count Chocula posted:I'm naming aliens in No Man's Sky 'scrunts' and 'gleep glorps'. Pretty funny listening to the Star Trek ep while playing it since they have a similar plot. I don't think they mention either of those, and two give it a recommend because of how weird it is. I personally think it deserves the abuse, it's a conglomeration of bad choices, but it's watchable. And I like that Terry Gilliam scene. Speed Racer is great, especially when you're high.

DoubleCakes posted:This prolly wasn't the intention of the WHM crew, but I really want to see this Jupiter Transcending movie. It sounds like Fifth Element-esque entertainment and I'll be watching it soon. I've cooled off on it since the release. It's basically a trilogy's worth of material jammed into a single movie. Cloud Atlas was a lot better imo.

They weren't talented enough to combine space opera and fairy tale. And no one cares about cgi visuals anymore.

It wasn't great but if you go into Jupiter Ascending expecting complete trash you'll be surprised. What's hurting it most is that it feels like it could be less plotted and 15 minutes shorter. +5 points for dragons in leather coats.

I wanted to defend it because I love trippy sci-fi, but the pacing was off and their wasn't enough weirdness. I loved the Star Fox style dogfight on earth, though. It's not a bad movie by any means. Speed Racer is one of my favorite movies ever, though, and Sense8 honestly really moved me and may be the best recent thing the Wachowskis have done. I'm so glad it has a second season. Dmitri-9 posted:They weren't talented enough to combine space opera and fairy tale. And no one cares about cgi visuals anymore. Have you read the comic Saga? It does that, it's by their co-writer on Sense8, and it's awesome and everyone loves it. I think the Wachowskis are adapting it.

They certainly make divisive movies. A lot of people hate Speed Racer but, for me, it gets better each time I watch it. I absolutely adore that film.

A while back I was doing a marathon relisten and was noting Stay Tuneds that have not been done yet. I came up with the following: My Boyfriend's Back (mentioned ep. 15) Your Highness (27) Bicentennial (45) Lost & Found (51) Little Rascals (51) Scream 2 (55) Daylight (60) Any others to add? I didn't listen to all the episodes again so I missed a bunch of Stay Tuned. We should draw up a list and email them, asking them to review these as soon as sandwichly possible.

My thinkmeat seems to recall Eric mentioning Retroactive - the evil Jim Belushi time travel thriller - as a Stay Tuned. I really, really hope they get to it, since it feels like it was willed into reality by the WHM collective consciousness.

I like the Wachowski's big dumb dumb bigness in everything they do and was bummed I couldn't make it through Sense8. It was a series of striking or moving scenes strung together with the wettest fart of a plot. I was whiplashed between some real life-affirming film-making and boredom. How is such a beautiful show so boring?

I actually think it was a solid little picture and it came at a weird time where Belushi was kind of a straight actor again (He's legit good in GANG RELATED).

I own Retroactive on DVD  And yeah, it's actually a pretty fun movie - by far the best part is how Jim Belushi is the same brash, aggressive, misogynistic ratbag that he always is, expect he's played as sinister and disgusting instead of the implicitly lovable life of the party. Totally worth a watch.

I really like Halloween III The villain is great and a class act, their plan is sinister and the goals beyond that are really beside the point because holy gently caress they're gonna kill millions of kids on Halloween night. The robot/automaton people was a bit of a stretch but whatever, they're augmenting science with loving magic. And I also wished it had a detective or at least a policeman protagonist. And could have done without the whole unlce drunky "You ever have one of these?" stuff. MariusLecter fucked around with this message at 23:21 on Aug 25, 2016 |

This show was suggested to me about a month and a half ago, and i've listened to about 30-35 episodes thus far. It's fantastic, and easily two of my favorite bits were treating Fred Savage as if he was Dennis Farina in "The Wizard", and "James Bond loves eating cold Burger King" from the "Never Say Never Again" episode. "Scorpion from the Mortal Kombat sequel works at a beachside bar making Tiki drinks when not teleporting around and calling people 'suckers' " is up there, as well.

Honestly, I think the garbage eating, art cinema loving New Yorkers from The Day After Tomorrow are underrated, and hopefully they revist them in the future. Though I guess it's hard to compete with "Louie Anderson: Last Living Entertainer in America"

This is the second summer rerun they've done that mentioned Insidious and now I want to watch it again because that was such a great movie aside from it going off the rails into wacky world at the final act.MariusLecter posted:I really like Halloween III I think that a lot of the backlash was because it was a Halloween movie without Michael Myers, which is understandable since by the third installation it was a little late to try and reinvent the series as an anthology. If it had just been called Season of the Witch it probably would have done a lot better. And I agree, it is genuinely creepy and unsettling and the fact that the main plot is so bonkers (Stonehenge!) just adds to the whole thing feeling like a horrible nightmare. The scene with that grungy pumpkin mask deflating and all kinds of bugs and snakes and vermin pouring out of what was once a kid's head is one of those images that sticks with me in the way that few horror movies do.

Halloween III is kind of like John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness, where they're making a movie about an  ABSOLUTELY COLOSSALLY HUGE APOCALYPSE OH gently caress that they're trying to make for like  , but it still turns out to be kind of cool to watch anyway.What's better, that laser through the head thing, or Alice Cooper stabbing a guy with a bicycle?

I'll admit that I only saw Halloween 3 after I listened to the WHM episode back when it first aired, but I love it so much because it's such a high-stakes movie concept (MURDER ALL CHILDREN with so many obvious holes in the plan and such a shlubby lead.

My favorite part of Halloween III is how Cochrane's plan sounds like a villainous version of Iron Chef. "Okay Cochrane, you gotta kill all the kids in America, but you only have.... a mask factory, Stonehenge, and a month's worth of prime time advertising." "Could I have robots?" "What? Okay, you can have like.... four or five robots. Don't go crazy with the robots." "I can make this work."
