Karate in the Garage

Here is Movie #3 for April Fooled Month and it's the juciest one yet!   It's Martin Scorsese's Shutter Island with Leo, Mark Ruffalo, and a supporting cast you'd be crazy not to love.   This one is a good time! This was one that surprised us both on the revisit, and we hope you'll dig it as much as we did.   Enjoy! ------------------ As always, and maybe even more than ever, here are some mental health resources for North America:   United States  https://www.mentalhealth.gov/get-help/immediate-help https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/   The Suicide Hotline phone number has been changed.

April Fooled Month keeps moving along and, boy, were people fooled with this one! It's 1995's The Usual Suspects starring a bunch of people you know (and a few people you'd like to forget). We hope you enjoy this month of being "fooled" as we revisit four movies many believe are just waiting to show their "twist" to you!

It's April Fooled Month! All four of the movies were covering this month all have a "twist" in them that "fooled" the masses back when they were first released. We're starting out the month with M. Night Shyamalan's 1999 classic The Sixth Sense.  The twist in this one was so engrained into pop culture, it was spoofed countless times in TV, radio, and other movies including Scary Movie 2. (Which we covered in Episode 140!) Along with Bruce Willis, this movie made a star out of Haley Joel Osment, and soldified Toni Collette as one of the best actors of her generation. We hope you enjoy this month of being "fooled" as we revisit four movies many believe are just waiting to show their "twist" to you!   Enjoy! ------------------ As always, and maybe even more than ever, here are some mental health resources for North America: United States  https://www.mentalhealth.gov/get-help/immediate-help https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/ The Suicide Hotline phone number has been changed.

MARCH MADNESS HAS COME TO AN END! Our journey of March Madness and the Tubi bots as our travel agency, guide, and travel partner has come to an end. What started out with Gary Busey in Eye of the Tiger has brought us to Movie #5:  RAGE AND HONOR II: HOSTILE TAKEOVER! From IMDB: In this high-kicking sequel to Rage And Honor, our heroes find themselves in a deadly battle for justice in an exotic and dangerous world. Australian ex-cop Preston Michaels (Richard Norton) has sought safe haven in Jakarta, Indonesia. We hope you enjoyed the trip with us down the dark hole of the mind that was March Madness!   Enjoy! ------------------ As always, and maybe even more than ever, here are some mental health resources for North America:   United States https://www.mentalhealth.gov/get-help/immediate-help https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/   The Suicide Hotline phone number has been changed.

The final Kickstart for March has landed with a bit of a "condition." We apologize for the slight curvature of our audio's spine this week. I (Corey) had a bit of a bug over the past week, and my sinuses jacked up my ears to where I didn't notice how hot my audio was when we recorded, and a tad distorted.   One more movie coming this Friday for Karate in the Garage's March Madness, so we hope you check out the final choice from Tubi's bots.   The Perfect Weapon trailer! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDxvt8MUaBo   Post it on Twitter and/or Instagram, and tag us with the choices Tubi has been sending YOU!   Enjoy! ------------------ As always, and maybe even more than ever, here are some mental health resources for North America:   United States https://www.mentalhealth.gov/get-help/immediate-help https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/   The Suicide Hotline phone number has been changed.

IT'S STILL MARCH MADNESS! For the rest of the world, that means it's college basketball's time of the year to beg for your eyes and ears. What it means for Karate in the Garage, is we're turning our eyes and ears over to Tubi and it's algorithm. That's right. The bots are picking what we watch FOUR times this month. For Movie #4 this month, Jeff Wincott is back and he's brought along Cynthia Rothrock... sort of. 1991's Martial Law II: Undercover pairs up Wincott and Rothrock to bring down criminal Spencer Hamilton (Paul Johansson) for some crimes that are never really made clear. (Oh, another cop is killed. THAT'S what it was! There's more of that punching and kicking and sweating you've come to love from a Jeff Wincott joint! (Also, enjoy Rothrock's appearances spliced in with footage from other movies.)
