PLEASE DO A VIDEO ABOUT "SPIRIT: STALLION OF THE CIMARRON"!!! 😭💔🔥
You should do the fnaf movie
how was this comment made two days ago but the video was made 5 minutes ago?
Can you check another Kathryn Newton film, Freaky
@@elinswan8174 I would love that too! 😊♥️
missing riverdale is called Stockholm syndrome
Best comment, everyone else go home
This so well said lmao
Lmao 😭

The decision to have cole sprouse not talk for the entirety of the movie was a godsend.
Yes… and no, I think because he didn’t talk they missed the opportunity to develop his relationship with Lisa in some moments, like when she talks about how much she misses her mother they could have bonded over the fact that he was pretty much the only person who knew exactly how she felt like because he lost his parents when he was little, I also would have liked to see some jokes about how he is a guy from the 1800’s in the 1980’s and he didn’t understand modern stuff that well yet, like Barnabas from “Dark Shadows”, but we didn’t get to see that the closest we got was that joke that he used to ride an old-fashioned bike. However if they make it a sequel (and they most likely will) I hope we get to see his character talking more like in the “Frankenstein” novel, the thing is in the movie from 1931 the creature couldn’t talk, but in the book he not only could talk but he would never shut up, he was always talking about his thoughts about life
He still was great in the role, tho. He put so much more effort into his face and body language because of it. He did a great job
@@lauracerqueiramachado8979 Lisa explained a fair amount of things to him. He learned about a decent amount of technology, including a massager. Though he picked up driving pretty quick.
@@bringoldshowsback yes I noticed that too, he most likely understood that he was in a very different time with more technology than he was used to that’s why he focused on trying to learn how that stuff worked so he just went along with whatever she wanted to do with him (like the shower and the tanning bed) and well he was a good observer
thank you for making me laugh
It feels like if this movie were released back in the 2000s, you would have Helena Bonner Carter and Johnny Depp playing the main roles.
They would have been to old but if it was the 80s/90s I could see it as Winona ryder and Johnny depp a la Edward scissorhands
100%
Agreed, it feels a little bit like "Sweeney Todd meets Heathers", in a way.
This reminds me of a movie that WAS released back in the early 90s called "My boyfriends back" where va girls boyfriend back as a zombie.
No, I think Christina Ricci and Devon Sawa would be better for these roles
“No one coddled me when my dad blew up in Da Nang, and that’s why I am the way I am.”
Typical 80’s stepmom.
I've heard her saying that and thought 'what makes you think that anybody wants to be like that?'
That’s my mom for ya. Verbally abusive emotionally unavailable and makes it all about her and her tragedy so I have to suffer too! She was born in 1968 and is a 70s to 80s mom 😒 👎
@@hufflepuffsbadger6665I’d recommend talking to a professional about it if you’re not already.
I loved how Cole sprouse didn’t get any lines and just grunted or mumbled throughout the movie. 10/10 until he spoke at the end of the movie
Lol, you would love The Odd Family: Zombie on Sale
Warm Bodies 2.0
No but really it through me off, whose tongue did they cut and when
....but whose tongue did he take?
Totally, he really conveyed a lot through his body language alone, and even took mime classes to prepare for the role.
I've just realised that the three body parts that Lisa steals for the creature were ways that the victims used to hurt her. Janet never listened to her, explaining the ear, the creep tried to take advantage of her, hence the hand, and her crush slept with Taffy, hence the.... Special part.
I've seen a theory that the creature killed the girl who told on Lisa to the police for her tongue and that's how he's able to talk at the end!
@@pintsizedpicasso3402 That's pretty neat, I love that theory!
@@pintsizedpicasso3402oh I love this👁️👁️
And now that Victor (Cole Sprouse’s character) came back to life completely and Lisa is undead he will have to help Lisa the same way she helped him, he will have to get her a new skin and a new set of eyes and maybe when she recover she will have 2 white streaks in both sides of her hair

I liked how unapologetically insane this movie became not even halfway through "yeah she's a psycho that kills people and we don't care". I love when movies accept the fact that they are bonker
I had a Sweeney Todd vibe.
True love is killing people together ❤
@@griffinsommer4446 a couple that slays together, stays together 💖
I had a Heather’s vibe.
LOOOOVE Sweeney Todd
This is one of those movies that will have a cult following and will resurface in a few years as an amazing movie because locals can’t comprehend the level of camp this movie exudes
It's really not that entertaining, but who knows
@@akaInfamous what??? It's super entertaining! I loved it. Super camp and super fun and kinda sweet and sick at points too. Everything that makes a good cult classic
I’m already making fanarts 😁
I was thinking the same give it a few years and people won't stop talking about it, it's so camp I'm obsessed
@@lauracerqueiramachado8979oooo i wanna seee
The fact that Kathryn newton been playing high school since paranormal activity 4 in 2012 is insane!
To be fair she was an actual teenager in 2012, and most of these celebs play teens until their at least 35. Even looking back at movies made in the 90s half the cast was well into their 20s playing teens just look at Buffy.
That douch from 13 reasons has been playing highschoolers from 08-23
Bianca Lawson played a teenager from the 90s through the 2010s. Hell, to this day she's still playing characters in their 20s at 45 years old.
@@HanaMarshmallowsyea and it looked/looks ridiculous

Cole Sprouse's physical acting was worth the price of the movie. He is so very talented! You can tell he's been acting his entire life.
I heard he took mime lessons for that role
It’s sad that Riverdale writing sucked all the acting out of their cast.
The poem he reads to Lisa is written by Mary Shelly's husband Percy Bysshe Shelly it's called "To Mary"
It’s funny because in that movie’s Universe Mary and Percy Shelley existed but apparently the “Frankenstein” novel was never written, I noticed that no one even said the word “Frankenstein” in the movie despite of it’s title, no one compares what Lisa is doing to the “Frankenstein” book or movie which suggests in this world they never existed and that’s why Cole Sprouse’s character is Victor Frankenstein and Lisa is his wife from the book Elizabeth
It’s heavily implied Cole Sprouse’s character is Victor Frankenstein from Mary Shelley’s novel, but in this reality or version he is “the creature”, his tombstone was damaged but we could read “tein” by the end of it, his first life was around the time when Mary Shelley’s novel was being written, and that’s why the name of the movie is “Lisa Frankenstein” despite the protagonist’s name in the beginning being Lisa Swallows, because after they made love they began to consider themselves married and when she came back from the dead the same way he did she started using his surname so they can spend their new lives together
Oooo this makes so much sense.
Well no shit. The title is Lisa Frankenstein
@@Uhohlisa yeah, but her name wasn’t “Lisa Frankenstein” it was Lisa Swallows
Actually it’s been said to be a nod to Lisa from weird science
@@Ambyr95 yes that explains her first name but not her last name, also I like to think Lisa could be a short for Elizabeth which is the name of Victor Frankenstein’s wife
Her name is Liza SWALLOWS?!
That's what the Jack Sparrow parody is named in freaking Epic Movie. Her parents SUCK.
Eeee😅
I wonder what she swallows
Yeah, thank goodness she married Victor Frankenstein and got his surname
If her parents suck that's probably why she's a swallows
Ba dum tsss
I mean, the movie takes place in 1989, so way before Epic Movie came out? Also, no one saw Epic Movie. I'm pretty sure it was just you.
watched this at 10pm in my local cinema that smelled vaguely of weed on valentines weekend and it was one of my favorite cinematic experiences to date
oh how i wish i got to experience that
I’m beyond grateful that there is hope for original unique movies like this one, even if it’s not exactly my taste
Considering how badly this bombed at the box office, the future doesn't look too bright for other quirky movies like it
How is it unique? Rehashing an idea that was made dozens of times already
The “zombie boyfriend back to life” joke was just great 😆
Also, great seeing the *insert Daria quote here* joke 😆
This movie is really nice. It gives off total 80s vibes.
@HornOkplease-ky7gr😂
I can tell you have never seen videos of people in the 80s
@@dtcomic1758 Well my dad has all the home videos of him celebrating Christmas at a resturant after he graduated in 87.
@@dtcomic1758 ngl it gives off huge 80’s vibes anyways, my mom had seen some of the movie and I told her about some of the stuff in the movie and she remembered a lot of it from when she was a kid lol
I’m hoping for a sequel set in the 90’s with references to “The Addams Family”, “The Craft” and “Dark Shadows”
My husband and I are both old school goths and we really enjoyed this movie.
I really liked how they utilized the opening credits to tell the backstory of zombie boy
So glad that Robin Williams's daughter Zelda has made her directorial debut. I really hope she will get more projects after this!
Especially with how freaking fantastic she did with this movie!!!!!
It's gonna be a cult classic.

I'm so happy you covered Lisa Frankenstein. Not enough people are talking about it. It's my favorite movie of the year so far.
I swear, the whole time I was watching the movie I was just waiting for the reveal that LIsa's dad was the ax murder who killed Lisa's mom. The fact that he moved on so quickly seemed like a huge red flag to me. Maybe if he and Janet had just started dating after six months it would be less suspicious, but it's the fact that they got engaged and married so quickly after meeting that seemed off to me. Even when Taffy is telling the story her voice when she says that "they got engaged and married real quick" shows that she thought it was odd/surprising how fast it happened. I was 100% anticipating that Lisa's dad actually knew Janet while he was still married and killed Lisa's mom to be with her, waiting until a few months afterward to get together to seem less suspicious.
Looking at the clip of the murder now, it does seem pretty evident the murderer is a different person. The murderer is clearly taller and slimmer than Lisa's dad with much fuller head of hair. However, I wouldn't surprised if Lisa's dad being the murderer being was an idea that was tossed around when developing the script. As things stand, I'm actually glad that wasn't the case. Taffy is such a sweetheart and it would be way to tragic if her only remaining family member was an ax murderer.😅
Actually Taffy did kinda explain why her mom and Lisa's dad got married quickly so him and Lisa could move on and have a new mom and sister. Imo I think that's a good excuse and it makes sense. Also I'm anticipating that Lisa be the Ax murderer because of how quickly she accepted killing people without remorse
My dad died when I was 13 my mom started dating my step dad 6 months later and got engaged 2 months after they started dating
I'm not a big fan of Taffy, she's like 'very innocent' to the point where you don't know if she's like that or if she's pretending to get her way.
@@SophieSonYeah and it was a mega jerk move to get with trent. Plus she was just insensitive to Lisa for most of the movie 😭
This is Barbie for the goth girlies. This is MY Barbie
it's weird barbie's world.
You know, Lisa’s actress Kathryn Newton was also in the movie “Freaky” there was this scene when a friend called her character “murder Barbie”, I hope she will be in a witch movie soon so we can call her character “witch Barbie”
Why can’t goth girlies have both?
This comment is cringe af
@@coconut2184 guys, I found the Gen-Zer. Be gentle with them.
I can’t believe you didn’t mention when he threw up a worm into the stepmoms breakfast or when the dad and taffy visited Lisa’s grave and completely missed the engraved “Beloved Wife” on his TEENAGE DAUGHTERS head stone.
Ikkk I can't believe it either! 🤯
Or the "massage" scene
And the fact that Lisa’s dad noticed that she painted her fingernails with white-out but didn’t notice the blood around her nails
fun fact, the blonde cheerleader friend of Lisa’s sister voiced Megan in the seminal horror classic, M3gan
She also did a lot of voice acting in Disney or children cartoons.
AND shes the penny, nickle, dime girl meme! Truly a pop culture icon
This honestly was one of my favorite movies made within the last few years other than Barbie and Nimona.
Across the spiderverse?!??
Nimona appreciation!!
@notkyrphilantx0 I haven't seen it yet but I'm sure it's good 😅
@@ladysybylgrey you should definitely check it out!! (but if you do and haven't watched the original already you should watch into the spiderverse first) they're both so so good!
@@ladysybylgrey Yessa you definitely should!! but if you haven't watched the first film already u should watch into the spiderverse first :D
They're both so gooddd they're totally worth ur time
I actually really loved this movie. It feels like a cult classic through and through, and honestly, that is a WONDERFUL change of pace. It's more akin to something like Rocky Horror or Heathers than much else released recently, and I appreciate that.
@@RoseyVamp I personally disagree- but to each their own. I really was referring to general plot details: murderous teenage girl lead, the party scenes are similar, the murderous over protective kinda toxic bf. I can absolutely see some influence of Heathers in the film. And I didn't necessarily mean it was as GOOD as Heather's, but compared to the sludge coming out modern day, it's a real good step in the right direction.
It had similarities to Heather, but different
Her stepsister is played by a famous actress in the Philippines and it’s just so awesome to see one of our own on americas silver screen ❤
i loved her sooo much in this!! had to follow on insta
I just watched it. Definitely ranking in my favorites. Lisa is so flawed and insane and transitions into it so perfectly and hysterically. She’s an awkward girl at first and accepts her craziness, decides to go all out.
Fun Fact: My drama teacher played one of Lisa’s Cheerleader friends!
That's pretty awesome!
that's so cool!!
Your drama teacher is young looking enough to play a teen?
@@HanaMarshmallows yes she is and guess what she was the cheerleader so deal with it

Now i can use this information for something
I just assumed they used quicklime.
Coles body language and facial expressions were perfect
I loved Lisa Frankenstein so much lmao
Me and my dude watched it and we’re 80s music fans 😅the songs were great
same I loved it!!!
Alex! I love that you are giving "Lisa Frankenstein" some much-needed attention and love, but the school literary magazine is NOT the same thing as the school newspaper! Literary magazine publishes fiction and poetry and the newspaper covers events that happen around the school. Literary mag/lit mag is creative fiction; school newspaper is reporting. So, Michael Trent is not the head of the newspaper: he's the head of the lit mag, as stated in the movie.
Ah, that explains the poetry reading at the end! Thanks for explaining that detail to us non-American folks!
@@purrgundyNot even just to non-Americans. I’m from America and taught high school in multiple states. There’s never been a school “literary magazine”, maybe it’s only at fancy schools? But regardless, the joke about wondering why the dude was so hot still stands, lol.
@@acgeewhizi went to a public high school and was an editor of a literary magazine. This being said, it wasn't much of a thing, until i brought it back with 3 other people, but then we did competitions and all this other stuff at the state level, so it's totally a thing that other schools participate it. Not exclusive for "fancy" schools.
@@9livesalicat86 Interesting. I had no idea that there were competitions in that, but folks will compete in anything. But public schools can also be fancy schools, as they are largely funded by property taxes in most states, so rich areas have rich schools, even if the rich kids go to private schools.
this!! though the character is still kind of unrealistic for the role lol
3:37 context for everyone:
Cerebral basically means more intelligent and caring about thoughts and ideas then physical or emotional things

That's correct. Same checked out dad married to an overbearing mom.

Same
Me too
I’m buying this for my film collection. It’s campy and fun for a Frankenstein take. I originally was going to see Poor Things until I saw Prickly Alpaca talk about it. So this was worth it. The snappy lines and over the top reactions and scenes.
Definitely agree “Bag your face” needs to make a comeback.
The movie keeps reminding me of heathers with its tone, costumes, and lighting . Speaking of which…
PLEASE MAKE A HEATHERS VIDEO
💙💛❤️💚
"Is it weird that I kinda miss Riverdale?"
Yes. The answer is yes, Mr. Alex Meyers.
Great video though!
I liked Lisa Frankenstein. I like a wierd, dark comedy (heathers, beetlejuice, etc) i wish the ending wasnt so rushed, but liked the final scene.
Hey if you like these you probably also like Ride the cyclone
-Musical
-dark humor
-dead children
-songs are really good
I’m hoping for a sequel, the director said she is interested in making one now that they found their target audience
My friend and I had such a great time at the theater, but yeah there was no one else there, which is a shame cause the movie definitely deserves better.
Same! Just me and my friend watched it in the theater.
I have to thank you for not saying “un-aliving” herself. I really hate that when people say that to get around RUclips’s ridiculous guidelines when it comes down to certain words.
ANYWAY ….. You were far more creative by using “exterminates herself on purpose”. Brilliant! I loved it! 🤣👏
…but that’s exactly what he’s doing 😅. No matter how creative it is, he’s still catering to RUclipss guidelines. He’s not the first nor the last to get creative with it lol.
@@IntrotoPsych101 Yes, that true. I suppose I was just thrilled that he didn’t say “Un-alived”. I cringe every time I hear someone say that. It sounds so childish. I don’t know why RUclips demonetizes people from saying every day words. It’s really silly.
My bestie and I died of muffled laughter during the slo-mo chopping off his hoohah scene, it was so hilarious. Other favorite part is when from off screen you hear Lisa shout from upstairs with the lights flickering… those who know, KNOW. 😂😂😂
You should give Renfield with Nicholas Hoult and Nicolas Cage a watch. It has the same vibes as this film and is just so fun. Also love your videos!!
Bruh, this movie sounds awesome! Finally something original and of course it flops because, despite what people say, in the end the only thing they'll actually watch ARE remakes, reboots and sequels. Fucking sucks, man.
I loved it it’s a fun movie 😊
Honeslty I had the same thought about this movie. It was original, it was fun, it was a great date movie to come out on Valentine’s Day. Like it was very wild some of the scenes but very creative and original in this genre of horror comedy. I think it was a good watch and should’ve had more advertisement and credit to get more people to see it
This was the weirdest but also most camp movie ever
I think we may have another cult classic on our hands. Thank you Zelda Williams and Diabolo Cody
Taffy was definitely a show stealer! shes too good. 😊
I actually really liked her as a person ❤
This was such a great movie!!! I saw the commercial, was all in, was wasnt disappointed in the slightest. Actually it was even better than i was expecting.
I really loved this movie, I saw it at the cinema with a few friends after bottomless brunch and we had an AMAZING time with it!! I watched it with my mum a couple weeks later and she also had a great time watching it. I think this could be a future cult classic and it makes me excited to see more projects from Zelda Williams as her directing was exceptional
bro just finds a way to make every movie crazy
I like the idea of a sequel set in the 90’s with references to “The Addams Family”, “The Craft” and “Dark Shadows”
Diablo Cody wrote the infamous Live Action Power Puff Girls pilot.
What live action ppg
Wait…WHAT?!
@@Kingcleavejp it was a show CW planned to make about the “PowerPuff Girls” that had them all grown-up (Dove Cameron was playing Bubbles), they’re celebrities and done with crime-fighting and Prof. Utonium was like their manager who exploited them when they were little and the son of their villain shows up, they made a pilot but it wasn’t approved and they said they would make some changes but I guess it was cancelled because it’s been a while since then
@@lauracerqueiramachado8979 lmao ik I was being dumb and oblivious cause cause I saw it and it sucked

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO COVER THIS MOVIE FOR WEEKS I LOVE THIS FIIIIIILM
i don’t get to see movies in the theatre often which sucks but my bf took me to see Lisa Frankenstein for Valentine’s day bc i had been telling him about it since the first trailer. It was amazing, i’m obsessed, i found a bootleg on one of those sketchy free websites so that i can watch it whenever
People have described this movie as a future cult classic but due to the nature of streaming and the decline of physical media to encourage sales ( which is how cult classics formed in the past) i'm hoping this movie will get a second life on streaming. ( zombie reference.) I don't think people will be buying the blue rays for this movie which is how it would have become a cult classic years ago but now it's being shoved onto streaming services. IM OBSESSED WITH THIS MOVIE i hope your video will get more people to see it, and bring up it's streaming numbers since it didn't do the absolute best in theatres.
I'm not sure if you read these comments, but you should review the movie Electric Dreams!
Its an obscure 80s romcom about a computer gaining sentience and getting into a love triangle with two humans! It definitely seems like the kind of "so bad its good" movie with a ridiculous plot that you seem to review.
Plus its free to watch on RUclips, has a small but thriving online community that is dying for someone to make a video about it, and may be getting a reboot soon. Its definitely worth a watch.
That actually sounds kinda good....
Excuse me! Literary magazine is NOT the school newspaper!
It’s way more nerdy. It’s the creative writing magazine. So this dude writes poems about emo stuff probably
"No one coddled me when my dad blew up in Da Nang." I really should not have found that as funny as I did.
Liza Soberano shone as Lisa's kindly stepsister Taffy, and I appreciated that they she was a likable cheerleader. I'm looking forward to seeing her in more Hollywood projects.
Seriously, Taffy was an even better family member to Lisa than her own dad. Taffy must have taken after her father because one of the biggest mysteries of the movie is how a sweetheart like her came from Janet.😂
This is Liza Soberano’s American debut as she's more well-known in the Philippines.
idk, Taffy seemed very unlikable and insensitive to me in some parts, like when she told her friends what happened to Lisa´s mom even though she promised her she wouldn´t tell anyone which led to their classmates spreading a rumor that Lisa was the one who did it, and she seemed to think Lisa´s trauma of losing her mother was instantly solved when her father got married again because she had a "new mom", , I was almost feeling bad for her when she was worried about her mom being missing until she said "you don´t know how scary this is, Lisa! You don´t have to worry about anything because your mom has already been murdered!", and she dated Michael behind Lisa´s back and she didn´t even know who he was until Lisa told her she liked him, I mean if she really liked him then she should have told Lisa he was into her so she wouldn´t get high hopes and then ask her if it was of if she dated him, that´s what a good friend would do
He doesn't speak for most of the movie but does so well

That was quite the rollercoaster of a movie lol 😂
It infuriates me to no end that this movie bombed. We dont deserve nice things.
This movie shot up to my top 20 movies of all time the second I saw it. I saw it 3 times in theaters. Yeah thats right. Three. It was so great to see something different for freaking once!
Its hilarious its sweet its twisted its unique

why dont people like this movie???
Literally same!!! I loved it! I was like this is what we needed!

You literally just participated in it
I was just about to start this on Peacock. Gonna watch your video first!
It really does brighten up my day a bit whenever I see Alex has uploaded
This movie is so unhinged in all the right ways. I think what turned a lot of people off from this movie is the fact that this is clearly catered to women and femmes. Does that mean men can't enjoy it? Absolutely not. I see Alex has enjoyed it greatly because of the dark humor.
The entire movie of Lisa Frankenstein is catered to the female gaze which has recently been more shown in media. It's how women and femmes view the world around them and in romance. If you notice in most movies like Weird Science, it's basically men making a hot woman for the men to gawk at constantly. Lisa Frankenstein, while the looks of the creature are shown, the devotion and true love he has for her is what makes her fall in love with him. He loves her for who she is. Even the "devil's tango" scene, while they don't show a lot, is super romantic and my God the way he looked at her in that scene, I was melting.
I don't think you can pin its theatrical box office failure on it being targeted at women. There are so many movies that's target audience are women that successes greatly. Fifty Shades of Grey, Twilight, the Notebook, Pride and Prejudice, most romance movies honestly. If I were to guess what the issue was it would be two things. One, the marketing for this movie was bad and barely existed. Two, it being romance AND a unhinged/weird movie combined. If it was just a romance, you'd easily have the stereotypical female audience flocking to it. But it has the weird and the horror so it turns that crowd off. And if it was just a weird horror movie then you'd have the horror fans coming in. But because it's a romance it turns them off.
I love this movie a lot but I think it just falls into a very niche genre. So it failed in theaters
@@harley69 Yeah I do agree that the marketing wasn't fantastic but as for as niche genres, being that Jennifer's Body got a cult following, you would think this would have some success
@billieking2257 but Jennifer's Body bombed in theaters. I wouldn't be surprised if this movie got a similar cult following later on.
@@harley69 I just thought people learned from Jennifer's Body 😅
@@billieking2257 I mean, possibly, but I also think that Lisa Frakenstein is aimed at teenage/20s audeince and it's possible that a lot less of that age group are aware of Jennifer's Body
This was the movie I wanted to see the most for 2024. I'm so mad it didn't come to theaters in Jamaica. Thank you for discussing it, the film's truly wonderful.
Me and my fiance saw this for Valentine's day. Such a good movie
You are always on point! Appreciate you for your work and sacrifice to give us reaction to these genre of tv show/movies
While watching this movie, I couldn't help but wonder, "What would Robin think of this?"
Just bought an adorable etsy sticker of Lisa and the creature. It's so cute!
FINALLY, I've been waiting for this!!!!💯
I watched this movie the other day and thought it was amazing and then saw you posted this!
I remember seeing the trailer and thinking “Alex Meyers is gonna love this.”
My wife and I loved it, one of my roommates came out during a scene asked what we were watching, then wanted to go watch it. My other roommate got home and was watching it with us for like a half hour and wanted to go watch it from the beginning

Oh, you're one of _those_ audience members at theatres....
Since the moment I saw the trailer I thought it had Edward Scissorhands, Sweeney Todd, Tim Burton vibes I needed to watch it, it really deserves better
So happy you covered this one, I loved the movie so much! Just a delightfully macabre romcom.
You're honestly my favourite youtuber. Thank you for making videos!
I was literally depressed most of the day at work and one moment of the day I thought I hope there maybe a new video and when I got home and check RUclips it was like a gift from the gods🤣
Seriously though thanks for the new video literally makes me laugh and made my day better thanks man truly
I also miss riverdale, didn't know it till I ranted about like 5 seasons to my partner who had never watched past season 1, and I MISS having a wacky show that went off the rails but still had so many episodes to binge
so happy you covered this one! and you're right, this movie deserved soooo much better, but i guess this genre is not everyone's cup of tea.
I literally just got to watch this movie and I'm sooo gald to see you take about it I love the movie sooo much!!♥️
Bro what that’s insane
I love this channel so much lol
i saw this in theaters and it was such an insane movie and it’s one of my new favorites
I loved it sooo much, *it was all over the place in a good way* It almost spoke to me about Lisa's personality, how she had trouble being seen and heard while giving those sort of out casted like myself a chance in the spotlight. I've never seen a movie quite like it, that's what makes it so special. 100/10
This was one of my favorite movies to come out in years. It’s soo good!
To be fair, Ira Glass is a treasure and I will always love him like an undead zombie
been looking forward to this movie. glad alex liked it
Thank you for reviewing this movie. It is so great and deserved more!!!
