Do We Like Movies?

This week we take a more serious look at an all time classic for us. Edward James Olmos stars as an East Los Angeles Math Teacher who changed the lives of it's largely Hispanic students by preparing them for the AP Calculous exam. 

We're some kind of rebooted(?) Suicide Squad.... James Gunn comes in to salvage DC's attempt to adapt the beloved comic series that revolves around a gang of D list villains who are enlisted for Black Ops missions by the evil Amanda Waller and the US Government. Our villains are called to travel to the Central or South American island of Corto Maltese to instigate coup and recover data on a secret...

Remember the 90s? Based on the works of R.L. Stine (The creator of the Goosebumps book series), this week we discuss Fear Street. This a trilogy of movies that combines elements of 70s-90s slasher films and modern supernatural horror. In this episode we discuss all three movies in the trilogy. Fear Street: 1994 Fear Street: 1978 Fear Street: 1666

This week is a double feature! We wrap up our Conjuring Extended Universe mini series with a discussion on the surprisingly good Annabelle prequel, and finally discuss the reason this series exists: The Annabelle Movie who's plot synopsis sounds like a Disney Channel Original Halloween Movie.

This week we start our Annabelle mini-series with the 2014 follow up to the original Conjuring movie. In this film we follow young parents John and Mia as they deal with all the stress of expected parenthood. As if that wasn't enough, John gifts Mia a haunted doll that will soon terrorize the new family.

This week we are chat about the latest chapter in The Conjuring Franchise. In this episode we talk a bit about the real Arne Cheyenne Johnson (aka "The Devil Made Me Do It") case and how it differs from the film. Please join us for our last epsidoe before our 2 week hiatus!

For Episode 100 we review Christopher Nolan's Comic Book masterpiece that captures our Post 9/11 anxiety like no other film of the 00s. After his triumph over Ra's Al Guhl and The League of Shadows, Batman joins forces with Gotham City Police Lt. Jim Gordon, and District Attorney Harvey Dent to rid the city of organized crime once and for all. What they don't plan for is the ultimate wildcard, The...

We are back in Tarantino world! This week we review his 1997 film Jackie Brown, which takes the style of 70s Blacksploitation and mixes it with the novel "Rum Punch" by Elmore Leonard. When a flight attendant played by the legendary Pam Grier is caught trying to smuggle money into the United States from Mexico, she is left with two choices, either go to jail, or cooperate with ATF agents to catch...

This week we are diving into Kevin Smith's incredibly hard to procure 1999 film, Dogma. This movie follows a woman who has become disillusioned with her religion, and is selected to help save existence from being destroyed by mischievous angels. This film features an all star 90s lineup that includes Jay and Silent Bob, Chris Rock, Selma Hayek, Ben Affleck, and Matt Damon. 

Remember how the first movie in this series was successful because it adapted much of the cool stuff you liked from the Video game? Well that's all gone now. Get ready to "Batman & Robin" up Mortal Kombat and send this franchise into hiding for 2 decades. This week's movie competes with The Room and New Years Evil for worst film in the history of this show. Enjoy!

*Throws hands in the air* IT HAS BEGUN This week we watch the first of three feature films based on the 1990s fighting game. In this movie we follow the characters of Liu Kang, Sonya Blade, and Johnny Cage as they enter an interdimensional tournament to save the earth from the Emperor of Outworld and his minions led by the sorcerer Shan Tsung. 

Big Monke fights Thicc Lizard.

Our Karate Kid series comes to an end with us discussing (MEGA SPOILERS) the first 3 season of the sequel series.   We follow the story of Johnny Lawrence, who was once the big guy on campus in High School, and ended up falling on hard times due in part to his alcoholism and also his loss to Daniel LaRusso in the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament. Johnny finds renewed purpose to help a bunch of so...

This week we review The 2010 remake to The Karate(?) Kid. In this re-telling of the 1986 film, we follow Dre (Jaden Smith), a kid who is moving from Detroit with his mother to China. He is constantly bullied by the local kids, and with the help of his building's maintenance man/ Kung Foo teacher, Mr. Han (Jackie Chan), he trains to fight them at a local tournament so that they may leave him alone....

A sequel so obscure that unless you watched it every week on the Disney Channel in the early 00s like Angel, you wouldn't even know it existed. Pat Morita's swan song in the Karate Kid franchise has him traveling to Boston, to visit the wife of his commander General from the 442nd. While there he is introduced to her granddaughter Julie Pierce (played by a very young Hillary Swank). Julie is havin...

It's like the first movie again, but worse..... Much worse. This week we are treated to the John Krease revenge movie featuring Daniel and Miyagi... Special appearance by a guy who looks like the world's most evil Porn director, Terry Silver. The New Cobra Kai led by Terry Silver recruits Karate's Bad Boy, Mike Barns who can't stop, won't stop (*Harlem Shakes*) bullying Daniel LaRusso and threaten...

Last week we watched Mr. Miyagi help Daniel rid himself of the Cobra Kai by winning the All Valley Karate Tournament. This week, Daniel returns the favor to his sensei, by traveling with him to Okinawa where Mr. Miyagi must go see his father, but also runs into his old archrival Sato, and his equally villainous nephew Chozen who begins to feud with Daniel.

Part 1 of our Karate Kid review series! This week we take it back to 1984 where Daniel LaRusso, who has just moved to the Valley in LA fron New Jersey is learning to adjust to his new surrondings. He starts a romance with Ali Mills, but there is just one big problem.. Ali's ex-boyfriend Johnny and his gang of Karate practicing bullies from the Cobra Kai dojo start attacking and bullying Daniel. Hi...

We finally discuss Jordan Peele's 2017 horror masterpiece. A film that Peele spend nearly a decade preparing to bring to the screen, his directorial debut brought Black Horror movies to the mainstream. A movie that feels as much as snapshot of the Black Lives Matter era as an homage to horror movies like Halloween, The Stepford Wives, and Rosemary's Baby. We follow our protagonist Chris as he goes...

We return to the world of famed novelist Ira Levine (Rosemary's Baby) to review the 1975 adaptation of his novel The Stepford Wives. This film follows New York City photographer Joanna Eberhart as she and her family relocate (at the behest of her husband Walter) to the suburb of Stepford. Idealized as a throwback to the bygone era of the 1950s before the Women's liberation movement, Joanna quickly...
