MisterBibs posted:Nope, it's pretty much what I said before: the Bad Movie Podcast Guys weren't paying attention to a rather simple movie. If you're confused by a basic sexting plot, it's not the movie that hosed up. I think you're mixing up mocking/riffing on a movie, with being confused by a movie.

Power Rangers: Its about integrity in Bad Movie podcasts. For what its worth, I haven't seen the Power Rangers movie (...) and I have no doubt I can tell you pretty much the whole plot from their descriptions of it. Like, they were more being dismissive about stupid plot stuff then actively confused, it sounded to me. enigmahfc fucked around with this message at 20:02 on Mar 29, 2017 |

Yeah, how were they confused by the sexting stuff? They just seemed to think it was inappropriate for what they felt should have been a kids movie.

i enjoyed the episode, but then again I have no intentions of watching/defending the feature film based on a 90s kid's show with Rita Repulsa enjoying delicious Krispy Kreme doughnuts™. I'm sorry my standards for bad movie podcasts are so low and loathsome, unlike the more cultured Power Rangers fans among us.

There's one guy going out of his way to defend the movie and even he kinda just gave up after awhile. Which is really tame for CD standards.

The movie itself is rather tame, inoffensive, and really hard to find anything to rant about on a Bad Movie Podcast. It's why the end result was three people doing June Diane Raphael's bit in trying.

The lamest thing about the movie is that Power Rangers has already done an obstensibly "grim n gritty" series where they still managed to keep it fun and goofy and for kids, and they didn't need to have bull cum jokes or a minor plot point about spreading nudes. Corporations don't learn from past ventures at all, huh?

I am stunned, stunned, that there's a joke about jacking off a bull in the Power Rangers movie. I honestly thought it was a Szyzka creation but nope it's in there.

I still don't understand not liking Tango & Cash though. Somebody smarter than me write about us getting boring American Power Rangers and Ghost in the Shell at the same time.

You can't take a kid to a movie with that kind of joke in it, and kids are the biggest audience for power rangers. Brilliant, studio, brilliant.

But there's an enormous difference between lovely parents letting kids see R rated movies, and studios making kids' movies with bull jerking jokes. A pg-13 Power Rangers movie is for kids, Logan and Deadpool aren't. e: I too wasn't sure if the bull semen joke was actually in the movie or if it was a WHM goof. Turns out it's in the movie.

https://theringer.com/power-rangers-is-a-movie-about-bad-people-ef9faafeafb7 I don't think kids movies need to be 100% wholesome but it's sounding more and more that this film isn't something young kids should be watching.

So I was relistening to the Devil's Advocate episode, and it reminded me of something that came up in the Power Rangers episode (and something someone brought up earlier in the thread): why do movies delay the "reveal" of their...point, for lack of a better word, for so long? Like, in Devil's Advocate the "reveal" that Pacino's the devil doesn't happen until like two hours into the movie, even though everyone knows it going in (and it's pretty obvious after a while). Likewise, the Power Rangers movie doesn't have the giant robot fight until the tail end of the movie, but the arguable point of a Power Rangers movie is to see giant robot fights. (It's been a long time since I saw it, but I remember a similar problem with the first Transformers movie where it felt like forever before the actual Transformers showed up.) I realize that this probably isn't the thread to ask, but what's the point of that? Why wait so long to give the audience the meat of your movie? Why not put it front and center? To quote Steve, what else am I buying a ticket for?

I think with movies like Power Rangers it's done with the mindset that they're setting up a franchise. Batman Begins seems to be a big influence on this. Movie 1 is all about the origin, so they need to spend 90 minutes on bullshit nobody who comes to see a children's robot movie actually cares about.

Things like Jaws, Jurassic Park or Predator slowburn the reveal to ramp up tension. Thing is, bad movies don't have this level of tension so it just feels like you're sitting around waiting for these dickheads to get their movie started. The key difference is basically that those films had good pacing. Godzilla 2014 also takes ages to get going but it's overall pretty good due to having a few really cool setpieces - irradiated Japan is much more interesting than a Krispy Kreme somewhere in socal. Pacific Rim is also about smashing machines together but it understands that it's not a highbrow film and shows some awesome poo poo off upfront. It's not the greatest film ever made but it doesn't bury the lede at all. I respect that.

What really bugs me about drawing that stuff out is the idea that I won't care about whatever the main point of the movie is without all that groundwork being laid. (There's also the idea that origin stories don't need a lot of time when they're not emotionally tied to the character. Batman's origin has emotional weight and drives the character; the Power Rangers' doesn't have either of those things and is basically "here's your morphers".)

It has been a long, long time since my one watch of The Devil's Advocate. But I think the point was that while everything was pointing to Al Pacino being the devil, up until that point the movie and Keanu were also questioning that obvious fact. Then the audience has it confirmed at the same time as the protagonist at the point where Al Pacino being the Devil is the crux of the plot, where Keanu has to choose whether to go with big daddy Satan or not. Given that The Devil's Advocate isn't the most magnificent of writing samples, holding out to confirm that Pacino is Satan also gets around the issue of the audience being in on Pacino's identity and coming to wonder why Keanu is such a loving idiot for not realizing he's the son of Satan and working for his dad.

The main reason is bad writing where a script just meanders in an attempt to ape better scripts that build and climax. The other part of it is saving on CG costs.

So I'm posting this here because I'm wondering if it's a Patreon issue. This morning I got an email saying there was an error processing my payment but I got both a PayPal receipt and it shows on my bank balance (as pending, admittedly). Nothing has changed and my card doesn't expire for another year or so. This ever happened to anyone else?

The shows are still pretty good, but I wish they would go back to a three host rotating format. In my opinion some of the best episodes were pairing the high energy Andrew and Steve with Eric or Cabin. All four together works sometimes, but seems to make for a surface level "look at this stupid movie!" instead of a smaller group being able to develop wonderful tangents like Hamster Man. Four hosts seems to slow momentum and make it harder to keep an alternate narrative going. Like the glorious "Dad making fat stacks in Japan" in The Good Son or detailed layout of Muldoons in Halloween III. Even two hosts works fine, like for the Ilsa episode or that one animation damnation. Side note: the Volcano episode is pure gold. I wouldn't mind disaster expert Justin Case popping up on future episodes.
