Do We Like Movies?

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 her gun running boss played by Samuel L. Jackson. With the help of her love interest, a bail bondsman played by Robert Forester, Jackie decides that she is going play both sides against each other and try to make off with the money herself.

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 social misfits defend themselves by bringing back Cobra Kai Karate thanks to the help of his neighbor Miguel Diaz. This causes many misunderstandings between Johnny, Daniel, and their kids. Having gone through all the movies that preceded it we describe our experience with this show and break down the storylines, characters, and seasons that we like.
