I'm trying to do my podcast homework but I'm having serious trouble buying Vin Diesel as an 800-year old witch hunter / secret agent. Only 20 minutes in but hearing this ridiculous dialogue come out of his face is amazing. Just wish he had kept his olden times wig and beard from the opening scene.


Michael Caine does the voiceover / plays Vin's Alfred (he's been on screen for 4 minutes and has already told Vin to find a nice woman and settle down). This is gonna be fantastic fodder for their impressions of him.

Edit: Ah, rats. Turns out he spends 90% of the movie in a magic coma.

Overall this was less of a trainwreck than I thought it would be. Definitely a step up from Russell Madness. The only really cringeworthy parts are when random characters refer to Vin having known historical figures like Beethoven, Napoleon, Stalin and ... *sly wink* ... Hitler. And appearantly they were all witches or something. Nothing anyone does in the third act made much sense when you stop to think about it but that's kind of par for the course.

The movie's biggest flaw is that Ygritte from GOT is in it as The Good Witch Who Helps Vin and we never see her boobs. Oh, and giving your main character a flaming sword as his signature weapon but only having him use it for 90 seconds total at the beginning and end.

Can't remember if they've ever talked about their stance on Verhoeven in previous LRMs (I vaguely remember them mentioning Showgirls as a movie that won't be on the show) but I doubt they'd do that one. Also ST isn't bad, it's just Verhoeven at his craziest and the satire aspect of it gets kind of muddled. It doesn't help that all the violence and boobs made a lot of critics at the time skip right over that part of it.

Maybe one of the DTV sequels?

Seriously, they don't even change lineups or have the guy who kind of sounds like Steve and Andrew's voices smushed together on anymore.

I've never seen it. I mean, I vaguely remember coming across it on TV 10 years ago, going "ugh, Ben Affleck in a comic book movie? No thanks" and moving on. And I think someone linked me to the playground fight at some point, though I can't remember it.

I was just asking because you'll usually find someone on the internet arguing even for the shittiest DCs, so I wanted to make sure the good things I read about it were at least somewhat grounded in reality. At the end of the day I'm still gonna spend at least 103 minutes doing homework for a bad movie podcast, so better flow, more violence and a Coolio subplot definitely make a difference. :)

My favorite part was when they went through Keanu doing all the Nolan Batman characters.

I never thought Cabin took anything away from the show but man, the silliness has just reached new heights now that it's the same three guys every week.

Yeah, Man of Tai Chi is super underrated. Keanu's direction is solid and his portrayal of the Evil Fight Club Owner / End Boss is just right. The protagonist is a veteran fight choreographer / stunt guy who became best buds with Keanu while shooting the Matrix and it's his only starring role to date, he does a great job too.

Martin Short playing a child? The entire movie?
Yes, it's a weird-rear end performance but he commits fully and goes balls to the wall. No idea why anyone thought making the movie was a good idea but the end result is oddly fascinating and surreal. I can guarantee you I would've loved the poo poo out of it as a kid, doubly so because he's annoying the piss out of Charles Grodin (who was very beloved in our family for his work in the Beethoven franchise) through the entire thing.

Yay, Cabin from the bunker. "Dennis Quaid seems like the kind of guy you'd have to teach to NOT drink out of the toilet."

Also kinda bummed that none of them have seen Embrace of the Serpent because I thought it was fantastic and was curious about their opinions on it. At least Andrew had a nice shout-out to Boy & The World.

Rob Zombie is all about style over substance. He also has a severe case of I MARRIED A HOT ACTRESS SO ALL MY MOVIES MUST FEATURE HER PROMINENTLY disease. All I remember about Lords of Salem is the part where it turns into a music video and she's riding a goat in slow-mo.

That said, still pretty psyched for his People vs Nightmare Clowns movie.

Looking at the cast on IMDB for this movie from the year 2000 it has Thora Birch (sure), Marlon Wayans (of course) and also a random Tom Baker cameo (what the poo poo).

On the other, it means we live in the universe where Kids exists. Not only that, but the universe where Larry Clark wasn't immediately jailed after someone saw the movie.
Nah, I think it's completely valid to make a movie where teens skate and do drugs and are naked a lot (because those are things that teens do), but if that's the movie you make over and over again with fresh batches of kids for 20 years it's probably also valid to say that you like to look at and film naked teenagers.

Like, looking at IMDB his latest from 2014 was a drama about self-destructive naked skateboarders ... In Paris!

Yikes.
It's definitely the worst 90s thing I remember actually liking at the time it came out. 14-year old me thought that ending where a guy gets AIDS by raping a girl his buddy had previously given it to while taking her virginity was all kinds of profound, man.

I guess most of my friends back then being skaters and all of us starting to experiment with weed and beer when it came out played into it too, but still.

Turkish 70s / 80s cinema has some wild stuff, they just didn't give a poo poo about copyrights and ripped off whatever characters they thought would sell. I seriously doubt the WHM guys have never heard of it though.

Speaking of which, I was not expecting Eric's reaction to the TV series at the end of the episode.
Yeah, I've seen maybe half of the first movie but the show was completely my jam as a kid.

But it's also in that weird hazy spot in my brain along with stuff like Gargoyles where I remember the premise and the theme and a handful of moments but no actual episodes. I can't even remember what Richie's role was except "peek shockedly around corners while The Highlander fights people".

Look at this loving intro, it's so 90s it hurts.

The only thing that made me roll my eyes about their Civil War ep was when they went on about how refreshingly little "magic" there was in the movie due to Hulk & Thor's absence, even though there's a prominently featured character called SCARLET WITCH who has Vaguely Defined Mind Powers that require a lot of dramatic hand gestures.
