goated!
Aside from Edward Van Sloan, I like Frank Finlay in Count Dracula-1977.
This is great can’t wait to see more about physical media that’s such a nostalgic topic.
Awesome man 😊
Randy Quaid as the Monster. That’s just smart casting. I haven’t seen this movie in over 30 years, but I remember not hating it. Definitely better than some of the other attempts at Frankenstein. I am interested in seeing Guillermo del Toro’s take on the story. Mainly because he’s an awesome director and it’s a solid cast.
Definitely looking forward to del Toro's version!
One thing I always liked about DVD’s was that they tended to have cooler collector editions, with better box art, supplementals, and special features. Unfortunately, we don’t get that a lot with blu-rays. Looking forward to more reviews.
It's a very silly film, with a great score, good costumes (though maybe not for this story) a good Jack, and book accurate Quincy. The rest of it is utterly bonkers and Bram would spin in his grave to have his name attached to this wacky sex comedy.
I could not have said it better myself!
Total bullshit 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
This is a great version of Dracula.
Absolutely! It doesn't get enough love!
This really helped my English project haha great video!
Glad to be of service!
I stopped at 3/4 the way..they haven't seen any of his work yet forming opinions ..lame
We are forming opinions based on his comments in the article linked there, which you can then read and form your own opinion. We have not seen much of his work, which we also state in the show. Toward the end of the show, we state that we hope we are wrong about our initial interpretation of what he said. We hope he makes a great Exorcist film. Thanks for stopping by!
@thehalfhourofpower1059 and I'll stop by again..doesnt mean I didn't enjoy..when I said I stopped 3/4 the way it wasn't because of opinions I should have been specific..I stopped because I had company so my bad for not clearing it up..I'll continue to support no doubt
This show makes me feel like I’m in the movie. 🍿 butter that the popcorn and I would pay extra for more….. great show. 👍 👍 by the way this is a ripe juicy tomato 😂
Brandon impression of don corleon from the godfather lol 😊
The lack of a music score is one of this movie's many strengths.
Bela is pronounced "Bay-la". Bella is a woman's name. The more you know.
Thanks!
i just watched part 2 of the crow its years old was pretty good
Tim Pope is a good Director.
You guys should review mean girls
Absolutely
The Prequel memes will be remembered for eternity. The Acolyte memes will die with the show.
You like to suffer lol 😂
Molten mountain of lust 😂
Acolyte 😂 great show guys
first time I seen you guys. Joe's hilarious antics and Brandon so done with it all attitude. Look forward to seeing your suffering continued in the next Acolyte review. Thank you taking one for the team here guys!
Anyone who says exorcist isn’t scary they should never watch another movie again and retreat under a rock. 😂
Joe... I don't think you can call apples, fruits anymore. It's offensive.
What an amazing and provocative review. I give it a thumbs up. If I could give it 200 likes I would. Thanks for keeping us informed and entertained.
I love the new dune
This show is entertaining and very fun to listen to. I will share it with all my friends. 😊
Man of steel is the best🎉 prove me wrong lol😂
I’m triggered 😂
Even though I’m not crazy about the movie I enjoyed listening to to you guys talk about it. 🎉
Very fun time
Awesome 🎉
That was shallow and pedantic lol 😂
Let me guess, the lead will now be a woman in a role swap, gender swap, probably race swap too
You know, it makes a sort of absurd sense. People remake a LOT of movies thinking that a reboot was good for many franchises. Considering that writers have so much trouble coming up with anything good these days, using a so-so movie as the basis of a new script, it has as much chance as anything else. After all, "A Star Is Born" has been remade 4 or 5 times? (After a while they start to fade into a blur.) True Grit needed a reboot, right? You mentioned the Star Trek reboot. The problem is they are betting that the movie bombed so bad that nobody will remember it and will thus THINK it is new. But of course, the real problem is that it is forgotten for a reason.
Why would anyone let loser JJ Abrams destroy another classic? The guy is a total lunatic and has no idea how to make anything good.
The soundtrack to Krull by a young James Horner was awesome. You hear bits of it in his Star Trek scores.
Will there be an Atari 2600 game release too? Fun video guys, thanks.
Why not? Noone has even been thinking about Krull for years until the news of a remake broke. It's not like all evidence of the original will magically disintegrate when the remake is created, if you wanna continue to watch reruns of that for the rest of your life, you can! Personally, I loved the original and would love to see a remake with modern day special effects.
Chris Pratt could be in The Last Starfighter.
My guess as to why they don’t want to call it a sequel is they want to appear original while cashing in on a well-known movie.
Insidious is a fine film, but not too scary to finish.
this is great
The best 19 minute 52 second half hour I have ever lived.
hey, Stallone did good work in Rocky and First Blood.
torture porn, milf and LOL are 21 century terms.
Still don't know if I'll watch this.
Ha, zombie pot-heads.
How do you go from LEGO Batman to The Exorcist?
I won't freak out about Ceasar Romaro.
