S5 Ep204: Blind Fury

“Now here’s my question: bellhops at a Holiday Inn?” — Andrew On this week’s show, we’re chatting about the goofy sci-fi rom-com that should’ve been made as an eerie sci-fi thriller, Blast from the Past! Shouldn’t Christopher Walken’s character be brought up on charges? How has Brendan Fraser’s character not grown into a big, hulking baby psycho? Why do Fraser and Dave Foley both have terribly dyed jet-black hair in this movie? And could we just get a weird little movie about Joey Slotnick’s dive bar? PLUS: The return of the VHS Trailer Game!  Blast from the Past stars Brendan Fraser, Alicia Silverstone, Christopher Walken, Sissy Spacek, Dave Foley, Joey Slotnick, and Nathan Fillion as Cliff; directed by Hugh Wilson.

How fun is it to see John Kramer actually walking around the room while his traps are being executed? How is no one noticing Amanda running through that dance club with the Pig Mask get-up on? Who signs their last will and testament at a blustery, outside cafe? How funny is it to have Jigsaw shopping at a crummy liquor store? And how many sequels can they squeeze in between all these other sequels? PLUS: Jigsaw gives Letterboxd his Top Four!

“Kill any of these people! Is it possible for any of them to die?” - Steve on the titular Expendables On this week’s episode, after we figure out how to pronounce the title, we’re chatting about the fourth, and likely final, film in the franchise, Expend4bles! Is it time to wrap up the franchise when the casting ‘gets’ keep getting smaller and smaller? Why can’t Jason Statham and Tony Jaa get some buddy action film instead? Why did the film team rely on so much wretched CGI? And how are we rooting for Sly’s character after he straight-up murders a (more or less) innocent man? PLUS: Larry the Cable joins the next Expendables line-up! Expend4bles stars Jason Statham, Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson, Megan Fox, Dolph Lundgren, Tony Jaa, Eko Uwais, Andy Garcia, Randy Couture, Jacob Scipio, Levy Tran, Lucy Newman-Williams, and Sylvester Stallone as Barney; directed by Scott Waugh.

“Is [the ‘prayers up’ thing] still going on? Is he still charging people to pray?” - Steve On this week’s episode, we’re hitting the road with Mark Wahlberg and his fake family in the almost-Secret Movie™️, The Family Plan! How hilarious is it watching Mark get covered in that cherry slushy? Should this gamer kid be throwing up that hand signal? Is the matrimonial magic dead when your anniversary celebration is a rollercoaster ride? And why does this movie consider the city of Buffalo a great place to live, but only if you want to wake up, go to work, then die? PLUS: We give much well-deserved praise for the stunt teams that worked on this movie! The Family Plan stars Mark Wahlberg, Michelle Monaghan, Zoe Colletti, Van Crosby, Maggie Q, Felicia Pearson, Lateef Crowder, Saïd Taghmaoui, and Ciarán Hinds as McCaffrey; directed by Simon Cellan Jones.
