But this time the robots are animals for some reason. That’s cool and all, but wouldn’t this have been the perfect time to stop bringing human being main characters into the mix? If suddenly there’s going to be a dozen new beast MAXIMAL characters, let’s just focus on developing them so there’s something new and interesting to follow. This movie is about their rise, is it not? But no, we gotta keep doing that thing where some down-on-their-luck human discovers that his or her car is actually an alien robot and is then tasked with seeking out some sacred machine part or else the world will end. Been there, done that. How giant robots punching each other can be so sleep-inducing, I’ll never know.

Knights of the ZodiacSpider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse welcomes us back to the whole multiverse thing where Marvel lives now and forever where nothing matters because there are an infinite amount of yous and everyone else so nothing is special and nobody stays dead and everything is more confusing than ever. Miles Morales, this series’ primary Spider-Individual at one point even says, “Hey I’m Spider-Man” and another Spider-Being shrugs it off as if it means nothing, and that’s where we are now, stuck in this weird post-modern nihilistic hell-verse.It was cute in the first movie because it only had a little taste of this, and was otherwise anchored to our universe while being a fresh and fun origin coming of age finding his confidence story for Miles with a straight-forward plot that made the other oddball Spider-Variants fun because we had a good time learning their vaguely similar backstories and then it was all about getting them back to their respective universes, but this sequel is nothing BUT alternate Spider-Life Forms going all “Time Variance Authority” like Loki where it’s all about preventing the Spider-Verse from having any anomalies or something, and yet there are plenty of Spider-Persons we meet that are an anomaly. Gwen Stacy as Spider-Woman for example, shouldn’t she be Patricia Parker or something? Shouldn’t the spider that bit her have bit her Peter? I don’t have a problem with her, but apparently the head Spider-Boss Miguel O’Hara should.His whole thing is vaguely about stopping stuff that was never meant to be, but how can things never have been meant to be if they already happened? Does this guy not understand cause and effect or free will? Does he have supreme God-like knowledge of everything that will be or should ever have been? But no, somehow anomalies cause damage or something and will destroy existence as we know it unless everyone’s father figure dies. I just don’t understand the point of all of this. The animation may be incredible and I certainly admire the hell out of it, but I need me some story to give a crap. Needless to say, I much prefer the original on 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/@ryanmccurdy9423Nanz: https://www.youtube.com/@hiro5449

Knights of the ZodiacThe Machine is one of the strangest premises for a film ever, not just because of its oddball story about the Russian mob and a young comedian being forced into committing a terrible crime, but because at some point you realize you’re watching that person’s attempt to alleviate their guilt by apologizing and making things right, not in real life to the people he actually wronged, but to fictionalized versions of those people several decades later.After all, the movie actually opens and closes with therapy sessions for Bert Kreischer, AKA The Machine, and everything in between is ALSO a therapy session for Bert, a fictional sequel to his absurd Russia story where he returns to the scene of his crimes with new gangsters to reminisce about the good times hanging out with other gangsters that forced him to rob an entire train of people, something objectively horrible.But as humans, we’ve evolved the ability to laugh at the horrors of life so that we might glean some joy amongst such dreadful existential sorrow.This film showcases that fine line between comedy and drama, how something terrible can either induce tears of sorrow, or tears of laughter. In this case, that laughter made the storyteller millions of dollars. Kreischer, a man famous for taking off his shirt and being obnoxiously funny, actually managed to pull this off, and according to this film may in fact feel really bad about it, and made this movie so that he could assuage that guilt. But as far as I’m concerned, Albert, you took life’s lemons and made sweet lemon drops for everyone to enjoy so it’s all good.

Knock at the Cabin20. Plane21. Cocaine Bear22. Knights of the ZodiacFast X follows my two rules for sequels: never undermine your essence, and escalate. These movies so far have never undermined their essence: fast cars, street races, exciting vehicle driven missions, and of course, family. These movies are shamelessly entertaining, somehow consistently delivering on-character emotional punches within the most bizarre and cartoon-like of circumstances, so if you come into this party to complain about realism, please fuck off until you can manage to get that stick surgically removed from your rectum. You gotta like your entertainment with extra cheese to hang out with this crew.However, you can only escalate so far. We all know the #1 rule in this franchise: if you’re the bad guy from the previous movie, you join the family in the next film. It is THE sticking point that gives this series its charm.But this new baddie makes a point of going against that trope, telling us the audience that they’re aware that they can’t keep this up forever and hopefully will be closing up shop for good soon because the family dinner table is getting a little crowded. Please please please bring back everybody for one last ride, and then respectfully and lovingly lay this adored franchise, and Dominic Toretto, to rest.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/@ryanmccurdy9423Nanz: https://www.youtube.com/@hiro5449

Cocaine BearKnights of the Zodiac is a difficult movie to review because it feels like beating up a retarded person, like giving poison to a baby, like ripping the head off a duckling, or sexually violating your buddy’s grandma.You know, things that don’t take a lot of effort.Speaking of low effort, Knights of the Zodiac is a movie with all style and no substance. All flash and no bang. It’s the product of taking the basic hero’s journey, filling it up with every cliched line in the book, and then asking a five-year-old to fill in the rest.But they did kill Sean Bean, so at least they got something right.Otherwise, this movie gave me AIDS.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/@ryanmccurdy9423Nanz: https://www.youtube.com/@hiro5449
