We watched the 2006 video game movie DOA: Dead or Alive, and boy, did we have a blast (well, two thirds of us did--check out our mimosa ratings for more details). This movie has everything--mixed martial arts, pro wrestling, gravity-defying moves, a self-destruct button, an explosion, and of course, a beach volleyball scene. oh and Imperial Japan, I guess?

This is truly a good-bad movie. Lots of fun. 

For our Very Special Spoo0o00oky Halloween Special, we watched the 2018 movie Slenderman. If you don't know the history of Slenderman or the real-life crime it inspired--don't worry, because this movie has very little to do with it. 

We know by now that a bad movie can actually be entertaining--especially one that's aware of itself like Fantasy Island. Blumhouse's reboot of the classic TV show turns it into a suspense of sorts. And it's, you guessed it, not the worst thing we've ever seen.

I think by now you can figure out who chose what movie. Drive was Jerry's pick and maybe a bit of a controversial one--it has a 79% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. But some of the schticks are annoying as hell. Buckle up and take a ride with us. 

Watch the movie Jerry calls "50 Shades of Garbage." Or just get the juicy details from us. 

(We really should have watched this five episodes ago, huh?)

For episode 54, we watched the terrible Jennifer Lopez movie The Boy Next Door.  We discovered that this "erotic thriller," which was neither erotic nor thrilling, is actually from Blumhouse, so it's a....horror....movie...? Which unfortunately makes this piece of crap the first horror movie of the Halloween season for us😅🎃

All, we also drank the "Platinum Vagine" and had some tasty dinner-for-brunch-for-dinner.

Probably the height of the great art form that is "athletes trying to act," Kazaam is a study in how to NOT make a movie. And we love it for that. If you like to see Shaq being over the top (who doesn't?), plot points that don't make any sense, and really bad "raps," check it out today.

We bowed down to our corporate overlords and watched Space Jam 2: A  New Legacy. This movie is all about corporate greed--Warner Brothers tries to convince Lebron James to do some dumb shit for a bunch of money (they didn't succeed, but they, of course, did succeed in real life). 

Then WB attempts to insert every (and we mean EVERY) character they own into the movie for really no reason at all. Except Pepe Le Pew. There were some actual rapists, and murderers there, but not Pepe. He's cancelled.

Overall, this movie was fun to watch and even more fun to talk about. But bad. Oh, so bad.

We love Nic Cage here at Brunch and Bombs, but we know that his movies can be hit or miss. Willie's Wonderland is definitely a hit. If you love cheesy horror movies, small-town archetypes, and movies that are aware of themselves, this movie is for you.

Cage manages to give the ultimate Nic Cage performance, with...some limitations. We won't say more, because you should watch it for yourself, immediately!
