Unnecessary Edits

UE kicks off a Batman mini-series starting with the first two Batman and Batman Returns.  See what they think about Michael Keaton as Batman in Tim Burton's first foray into a darker Batman universe.

The editors make some unnecessary tweaks with Garrett looking towards the comic origins for the Penguin character, and Kristin adjusting the love interests in both movies.   

UE is back with a Jean-Claude Van Damme double feature featuring Kickboxer vs. Bloodsport.

The editors take you through both martial arts film starring JCDV comparing their likes and dislikes, rewrites and comparison of which film is better.

Shocker, Kristin can't stop talking about JCVD's physique in either film. For Kickboxer, Kristin refuses to believe the separation of two brothers as the explanation of why they have different accents. For Bloodsport, Kristin doesn't need the love story.

And Garrett puts a dark twist on Kickboxer by having Frank's sensei die. And for Bloodsport, the campy cops can be written out of the film completely.

Kristin is absolutely obsessed with this film, so she just needs a little bit of a longer time period for this story to be believable. 
And Garrett wants some more backstory for Johnny and his fellow resort colleagues.
