Knights of the ZodiacDumb Money was a tough watch for me because to this day (and to my deep shame) I’m a diamond handed ape, so reliving the 2021 GameStop saga meant I had a pit in my stomach from beginning to end.Of course one can’t help but compare this to the other comedic, “stick it to those wall street bastards” film: The Big Short. But the core difference is that the characters in The Big Short were primary players in the story of the 2008 financial crisis whereas the GME saga involved millions of individuals (known as apes) all banded together across the globe following the lead of a hilarious madman named Roaring Kitty, AKA Keith Gill.Unfortunately, this movie chose to tell the story of a select few of those apes where it should have just been the Keith Gill vs Wall Street movie coupled with random people around the world interacting with them on Reddit and Youtube.On top of that the film is way too immature for its own good. For a movie telling a true story, everyone behaves like they’re in a mid-2000’s Judd Apatow film. This is precisely how Wall Street Bets of Reddit should have been characterized, not every character in the film.In total, this movie manages to take one of the wildest stories in history and suck most of the meaning and fun out of it by bypassing important events yet emphasizing unfunny moments with characters that we don’t care about, and then pissing me off by showing them showing off their paper hands while Tik Tok dancing.Support the show by using these affiliate links:GET A BUG-A-SALT HERE: https://amzn.to/3Cya379GET ALL THE BOND MOVIES HERE: https://amzn.to/2Vo1JWPIf you enjoy our work,here's our crypto tip jar:BTC: bc1qz6s04aw2qdkl946uttpqgtqv06utfd287vmu90Dogecoin: DKzAwyN3neSeWfSwTBPcDp1NJafypqWooeOur individual channels:Charles: https://www.youtube.com/@Flavorful_Chunt https://www.youtube.com/@FilmHackerMcCurdy: https://www.youtube.com/@ryanmccurdy9423

    A Haunting in Venice once again puts Hercule Poirot to the task of figuring out who-dun-it, but this time with an interesting supernatural element that somewhat turns this story into a horror film.

    The movie does a good job of presenting questionable events involving spirits and ghosts to the point that their realness is arguable either way based on one’s personal interpretation, while also thematically plugging directly into Hercule’s personal story of having lost his faith in God because of the horrible things he’s seen over the course of his career.

    However, in the end it is a very subtle movie, as really nobody is heavily suspected by the audience or otherwise up until Hercule figures everything out after a single conversation per suspect and exposes the killer in one fell swoop and then immediately regains his faith because he believes he saw a ghost.

    So just like the aforementioned faith theme there are two interpretations of this subtle quality to the film: one that it is simply and classically told, and the other that it is tired and lazy.

    I lack a strong emotional connection to this movie, so it wouldn’t take the world’s greatest detective to figure out where I stand…

A corny opener, but I’ll never be able to make that joke again so let’s savor it.Once again a demon entity possesses someone in order to get a thing it needs to break into the physical world, and yet at the same time it is capable of affecting the physical world for things like murder regardless of having a meat puppet do things for it because it doesn’t need the magical thing it needs to do stuff with, thereby having it both ways at all times while withholding some basic limitation by which to hang a conducive or interesting plot.So once again we get a cookie-cutter, snooze-inducing story with minimal character development pocked by jump-scare set-pieces that admittedly are sometimes fresh but obnoxious all the same because they’re still fucking jump-scares. Mostly they lead to more laughter than scares, but maybe that’s a point in the movie’s favor…So the heroes have to get a magical thing to stop the demon and then they do in banal Harry Potter fashion, bringing to mind the eternal wisdom of Peter Jackson in not relying heavily upon magic to carry the dramatic fire in Lord of the Rings, because magic in storytelling is more often than not too simplistic and meaningless and in this case lowers the dramatic majesty of Christianity to the triviality of paganistic wizardry.Support the show by using these affiliate links:GET A BUG-A-SALT HERE: https://amzn.to/3Cya379GET ALL THE BOND MOVIES HERE: https://amzn.to/2Vo1JWPIf you enjoy our work,here's our crypto tip jar:BTC: bc1qz6s04aw2qdkl946uttpqgtqv06utfd287vmu90Dogecoin: DKzAwyN3neSeWfSwTBPcDp1NJafypqWooeOur individual channels:Charles: https://www.youtube.com/@Flavorful_Chunt https://www.youtube.com/@FilmHackerMcCurdy: https://www.youtube.com/@ryanmccurdy9423

Insidious: The Red Door35. The Last Voyage of the Demeter36. Plane37. Haunted Mansion38. Cocaine Bear39. Knights of the ZodiacThe Equalizer 3 is a decent end to the Equalizer trilogy, a series of films following in the footsteps of John Wick, Taken, Jack Reacher, and nearly every Clint Eastwood movie whereby an older fella comes out of professional people killer retirement to once again punish those taking advantage of others in the classic Western style of one man versus a web of corruption, specifically in the “a stranger comes to town” style since this iteration takes place entirely in a small village in Sicily overrun by the mafia.However, this movie is basically a “feel good” story within that genre, as the story lacks any meaningful sacrifice on the part of ancillary characters or even the Equalizer himself (AKA Robert McCall), greatly diminishing the overall emotional impact of the story. Put short, a problem arises and then McCall quickly and badassly takes care of it without issue or loss of life or anything at all really.Watching Denzel Washington brutally murder bad guys will make you feel bloody righteous in the moment, but for lack of any deeper meaning or significance you’ll quickly forget this story. Feels good, but not memorable.So is it bad? No. It’s just cinematic comfort food, so you’re not missing anything if you skip this one.Support the show by using these affiliate links:GET A BUG-A-SALT HERE: https://amzn.to/3Cya379GET ALL THE BOND MOVIES HERE: https://amzn.to/2Vo1JWPIf you enjoy our work,here's our crypto tip jar:BTC: bc1qz6s04aw2qdkl946uttpqgtqv06utfd287vmu90Dogecoin: DKzAwyN3neSeWfSwTBPcDp1NJafypqWooeOur individual channels:Charles: https://www.youtube.com/@Flavorful_Chunt https://www.youtube.com/@FilmHackerMcCurdy: https://www.youtube.com/@ryanmccurdy9423

    Gran Turismo is a very good movie, but it doesn’t quite make it into the “great” category.And the reason for this is simple. While it has excellent character development and a really unique story about a video gamer turned professional racer, it feels like a 6-part mini series that some fan editor cut down to a two hour run time. With zero puns intended, it’s a bit rushed.What this means is that little character moments and big plot elements that should have had more emphasis are quickly breezed over, leading to an overall feeling of being slightly underwhelmed.However, the story has such a fresh approach to the racing genre and David Harbour’s character is so good that it easily makes up for these shortcomings, even if you’ve never heard of the video game this true story is based on.Support the show by using these affiliate links:GET A BUG-A-SALT HERE: https://amzn.to/3Cya379GET ALL THE BOND MOVIES HERE: https://amzn.to/2Vo1JWPIf you enjoy our work,here's our crypto tip jar:BTC: bc1qz6s04aw2qdkl946uttpqgtqv06utfd287vmu90Dogecoin: DKzAwyN3neSeWfSwTBPcDp1NJafypqWooeOur individual channels:Charles: https://www.youtube.com/@Flavorful_Chunt https://www.youtube.com/@FilmHackerMcCurdy: https://www.youtube.com/@ryanmccurdy9423

Cocaine Bear37. Knights of the ZodiacBlue Beetle isn’t the worst movie in the DCEU, but it’s by far the most weary. It’s essentially “superhero fatigue the movie” because there’s nothing we haven’t seen before while ALSO having trouble taking itself seriously while ALSO wishing it was a Marvel movie.A down on his luck fella gets bit by a radioactive spid— Sorry, a blue space scarab burrows into his spine turning him into a reluctant and awkward superhero. Then the evil head of a giant weapons manufacturer steals the secrets of this scarab to make a fleet of men in iron suits called Ironma— sorry again, I mean OMACs.Meanwhile everything feels random and disconnected from everything else that’s happening, as if the script was really long so they just deleted every other scene leading to constant confusion and contradiction of character.Maybe a more serious version of this would’ve worked back at the very outset of the DCEU, but at this point it’s just tired and weak.And also all white people are racist.Support the show by using these affiliate links:GET A BUG-A-SALT HERE: https://amzn.to/3Cya379GET ALL THE BOND MOVIES HERE: https://amzn.to/2Vo1JWPIf you enjoy our work,here's our crypto tip jar:BTC: bc1qz6s04aw2qdkl946uttpqgtqv06utfd287vmu90Dogecoin: DKzAwyN3neSeWfSwTBPcDp1NJafypqWooeOur individual channels:Charles: https://www.youtube.com/@Flavorful_Chunt https://www.youtube.com/@FilmHackerMcCurdy: https://www.youtube.com/@ryanmccurdy9423

Knights of the ZodiacTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem is terrific. I definitely had a big smile on my face for most of this movie.And why’s that? Nostalgia? Revisiting my childhood?No.I loved this movie because it felt like the people making it actually cared about the CHARACTERS, and that the characters behaved and spoke true to themselves as mutants and/or teenagers or father figures or relatably embittered and vengeful bad guys.And then built overtop of that is a clear “destroy all humans” plot that easily carries a simple story of longing to belong in a world that typically runs from or destroys anything regarded as unfamiliar or alien, which is exactly how people would initially react to four teenage mutant ninja turtles, their giant rat father, and all of their mutant bad guy cousins seeking revenge for humanity’s mutant-phobia.This movie brings it on every level: A fresh and apt style of animation, good humor, good fun, motivated bad guys with a sympathetic plot, excellent characterization and fulfillment of individual character arcs, a KILLER soundtrack, lots of pizza and all wrapped up in the most comprehensive and appropriately awkward origin story the turtles have ever seen on the big screen. All that’s left to say my dear McCurdy, is cowabunga.Support the show by using these affiliate links:GET A BUG-A-SALT HERE: https://amzn.to/3Cya379GET ALL THE BOND MOVIES HERE: https://amzn.to/2Vo1JWPIf you enjoy our work,here's our crypto tip jar:BTC: bc1qz6s04aw2qdkl946uttpqgtqv06utfd287vmu90Dogecoin: DKzAwyN3neSeWfSwTBPcDp1NJafypqWooeOur individual channels:Charles: https://www.youtube.com/@Flavorful_Chunt https://www.youtube.com/@FilmHackerMcCurdy: https://www.youtube.com/@ryanmccurdy9423

Knights of the ZodiacThe Last Voyage of the Demeter is a decent movie, no question about it. It’s well made and at times has genuine moments of horror.Unfortunately, it’s another example of one of these movies that just doesn’t carry the ball far enough to deserve remembrance. It is exactly what one expects, and nothing more. And I hate saying this about a movie that has the balls to kill a child, but overall this small story such as it is would have been better off remaining as a part of a larger one.And when tasked with pinpointing exactly what’s missing, I believe it to be a certain amount of cleverness within the confines of the premise. As a big fan of this brand of story, both horror and the “a bunch of people trapped in a confined space within a desperate situation” genres, what’s needed is some clever setup and payoff, especially because we as an audience already know that this Dracula tale is going to end in tragedy.Instead what we get in the end is more or less going through the motions as each cast member gets picked off one by one without any fulfillment of character or personal sacrifice or anything else that may have made this story more than just scraping the bottom of the Dracula lore barrel.Support the show by using these affiliate links:GET A BUG-A-SALT HERE: https://amzn.to/3Cya379GET ALL THE BOND MOVIES HERE: https://amzn.to/2Vo1JWPIf you enjoy our work,here's our crypto tip jar:BTC: bc1qz6s04aw2qdkl946uttpqgtqv06utfd287vmu90Dogecoin: DKzAwyN3neSeWfSwTBPcDp1NJafypqWooeOur individual channels:Charles: https://www.youtube.com/@Flavorful_Chunt https://www.youtube.com/@FilmHackerMcCurdy: https://www.youtube.com/@ryanmccurdy9423

It feels more like a secret government IQ test. Anybody that doesn’t laugh gets put on a watchlist for being dangerously intellectual.Joking aside, it’s nothing more than a payday for aging actors simply trying to fill their Disney contract movie quotas, as well as a payday for the producers who have those same high profile actors say things like “shop at CVS” and “gee I’m hungry, let’s get a whopper cooked fresh from Burger King.” This poor excuse for a movie is a sad reminder that post-modernism is cancerous to storytelling. Everyone seems stupidly self-aware that nobody is taking this seriously. Meanwhile, you could take any single line from this movie and give it to any other character and nobody would know the difference because nobody has a distinct character while simultaneously everyone is the comic relief.It feels no different than Cocaine Bear where the director said, “just say funny stuff and be goofy.”There’s no story going on, nothing carrying us from beat to beat so by the end you’re begging for the afterlife.Support the show by using these affiliate links:GET A BUG-A-SALT HERE: https://amzn.to/3Cya379GET ALL THE BOND MOVIES HERE: https://amzn.to/2Vo1JWPIf you enjoy our work,here's our crypto tip jar:BTC: bc1qz6s04aw2qdkl946uttpqgtqv06utfd287vmu90Dogecoin: DKzAwyN3neSeWfSwTBPcDp1NJafypqWooeOur individual channels:Charles: https://www.youtube.com/@Flavorful_Chunt https://www.youtube.com/@FilmHackerMcCurdy: https://www.youtube.com/@ryanmccurdy9423

Just like Golden Gun’s Bond, this bond is a f-ing a$$hole, beating up or killing everybody that crosses his path and chugging alcohol whenever he can find it, while never losing that James Bond stoicism.
    His killing trail brings him face to face with Dominic Greene, a colleague of Mr. White from the last film, both being members of Quantum, the same organization that contracted Le Chiffre to do their dirty work. This time they’ve tricked the Americans into doing their dirty work by promising them oil, the black gold that makes today’s mechanized world go round, in exchange for neutralizing Bond and allowing Greene to effect a mutually beneficial regime change in Bolivia, and the Brits agree. They don’t care if they have to support tyrants in some third world sh*thole, so long as their oil-backed economy’s remain strong, and that’s the hard decision that those in power have to make on a regular basis while those not in power post NO BLOOD FOR OIL memes to twitter with an iPhone from a Starbucks. Politics and foreign policy are not that simple, and whether we like it or not, literally everything we do goes back to oil because we have yet to invent the Solex, so the West plays ball with Quantum, unaware that they are actually being played, that there is no oil to begin with. Quantum is in fact seeking control of Earth’s other precious liquid: water.
    This is all very real world stuff that goes well beyond the typical good vs evil cartooniness that generally plagues Bond, and solidifies this new Craig era’s bid for a more realistic approach to 007.
