Dude, shitting on your hero bec he isn't currently as great as he was 20 years ago is silly. It's like saying you hate Schwarzenegger bec his later movies aren't good. Stern put together 30 years of the greatest radio that will ever be. His career is winding down but respect his body of work.
The game that Crystal was talking about where you play as a Zombie is Stubbs The Zombie! Very similar tone to Mars Attacks, all set in a 1950's era world. Such a fun game!
I came here to say this. As a kid it was a game I would stare at in EGM and Xbox magazine. I still have never played it. It deserves a sequel too I'm sure!
@@Zawfee They recently came out with re-mastered version of Stubbs The zombie (Also "Destory all humans!" has been remastered as well!)...So you have a great opportunity to finally play it! But honestly, while Stubs is a decent fun game, you really didn't miss out on much. It's pretty generic open-world game the kind that were so popular in the early 2000's, and was actually pretty short with nothing really ground-breaking or super unique about it (except for playing as a zombie/bad guy thing but IMO that wasn't really executed very well and came across as lazy gimmick more than a integral part of the game). Overall, "Destroy All Humans!" is a better game and experience, even though that game also sufferers from the same issues, but at least playing as an alien felt more more fleshed out and unique enough game-play, that it felt like it stood out more, was better polished and engaging experience.
Newt, did you notice that The Martian Ambassador who fights Byron the Boxer is *also* a champion fighter among Martians? He had a championship belt under his cloak. That might have been the reason they were exercising on the airstrip.
Yes! This is one of my favorite Tim Burton movies! It's like his homage to 1950s hollywood sci-fi movies. If only they had gotten Leslie Nielsen to reprise his role in Forbidden Planet this would be a perfect movie.
The mariachis playing the USA national anthem is such a funny moment in the movie. Always really liked this movie and yeah, for a while when people would talk about Burton films, this was one of the last things they would mention or even remember.
I loved this movie when it first came out when I was 12 years old. People did not understand that this movie was an homage to bad 50's science fiction movies and gave it bad review when it was released. At 12 I got it and knew it was satirical. Such a fun movie with a great cast.
Dude I collected the Dinosaur attacks cards, I had the whole set, and when the re-issue of Mars Attacks cards came out I scooped those up too. I have no idea what happened to them though :(
Here's a fun actor fact you missed the actor who played the Colin Powell General is veteran actor the late Paul Winfield who played Lt. Traxler in The Terminator
I was one of the few who saw this in theaters in fact went opening weekend. Half the theater was full. I'm glad that this movie eventually found it's audience.
Not to knock on Newt, but i always thought it was "The Frighteners" that was Michael J. Fox's last big live action film role. But regardless of which film was his last, what ways to go out from,."Frighteners" and "Mars Attacks", along with "From Dusk Till Dawn" were the three big budget sci-fi and horror films from '96 to me that I will always cherish and love.
This might be an unpopular opinion, but I like Mars Attacks a lot more than Independence Day. Mars Attacks just has a much more interesting and colorful cast of characters than that movie. Plus, I love that Mars Attacks is a love letter to shlocky '50s sci-fi movies.
At the time (1996) I would have called you crazy, but now... I completely agree! I watch Mars Attack a lot and as for Independence Day I only really watch it around the 4th of July. lol
Nicholson didn't die in the shinning in 1980 he died sometime after the 1921 4th of july party, happy anniversary Jack, you were always my favorite caretaker
@@HackTheMovies 🤡 work the angle, find as many Italian race car drivers with topless German weather reporter girlfriends as possible! Just a dash, those that know will know lmao
Actually this came out in Christmas "96 and the Phoenix Lights was in March of 1997. Because of this came out in Christmas is why the people turned into red and green skeletons. Also, there is a lot of reference of The Earth VS. The Flying Sauces. In fact, I think, I could be wrong, I think the UFOs are the exact models from that movie.
Mars Attacks!, nice. but wasn't there another film involving horror and aliens that they've been meaning to review🤔 oh yeah, the Tobe Hooper remake of "Invaders from Mars", maybe I was thinking of "Lifeforce".
so much better than cheesy Independence Day - good mix of intentional humor, schlock, and some good FX mostly made to look retro and yes Student Bodies is a classic
This movie creeped me out as a kid but I still loved it. As an adult I love it even more and it’s my favorite Tim Burton film. Sequel idea is good Newt but the title should just be Mars Attacks Again
May the algorithm gods be with you. I offer this thumbs up and comment as my sacrament. P.S. I love the Crystal/Newt crew. Especially when Newt doesn’t interrupt 😉 You’re awesome too newt. You don’t get enough recognition. Tony. Well you’re Tony! Do extra curricular content during episodes. Maybe make fun of hate comments? I dunno. You’re the genius.
Was just thinking last night I need to watch this again, cheezy fun and favorite part is picking out all the famous faces, always seem to forget one or two of the many in this film! Great fun!
*Pushes my glasses up* actually Tony, on Naboo the Queen is an elected position. They have a new clean every few years. That's why Padme is a senator and not Queen in Episode II on.

Newt, did you notice that The Martian Ambassador who fights Byron the Boxer is *also* a champion fighter among Martians? He had a championship belt under his cloak. That might have been the reason they were exercising on the airstrip.
that makes more sense now that i think about it
I wish "Dinosaurs Attack!" was made into a film. All of the art/scenarios from those cards would look awesome in a film.
One my earliest memories I'd opening a pack of those as a kid
same
@@DeanBiddler the image of the Dinosaur biting on the earth is still stuck in my memory. loved those cards
@@newtonwallen3210 it would've rocked if they followed up Mars Attacks! with this as a movie.
@@DeanBiddler did it traumatize you?
Yes! This is one of my favorite Tim Burton movies!
It's like his homage to 1950s hollywood sci-fi movies.
If only they had gotten Leslie Nielsen to reprise his role in Forbidden Planet this would be a perfect movie.
I miss leslie he is my favorite actor
Yeah def would be a perfect fit for Leslie neilsen
Yes!!!!!
This is my substitute for having real friends
@@ziggygunz2447 I love rlm
One time I was walking past Newt and noticed he was laughing hysterically. “What’s so funny?” I asked. “Me!” he said.
Genuinely curious, are all the Newt jokes laughing with him or at him?
@@bf1255 yes
I really like this movie. Everyone had their moment to shine. I'm also a sucker for the 1950 lazer sounds.
This channel should just be renamed "This Reminds Me Of... w/ Newt"
Lol thats the point
I'm totally fine with that.
id watch that
Seriously tho
Can't stress enough how glad I am newts gone
So many cameos in this movie. So many!
I was surprised that they got Nicholson and Annette Benning to be in it.
Both were still very active in Hollywood at the time.
@@robk.6591 Yeah same. And Tom Jones.
The mariachis playing the USA national anthem is such a funny moment in the movie.
Always really liked this movie and yeah, for a while when people would talk about Burton films, this was one of the last things they would mention or even remember.
Crystal was thinking of Stubbs the zombie! Funny how she mentioned that because that and Destroy All Humans came out around the same time!
I was
@@Crystalquin :O
You’re teasing us with the Alien3 hat😁
Tony just brainwashed us all to want Alien 3 but he’s never going to do it so we keep watching and waiting. He’s hacked our minds.
This is great, but when will you review that underrated early 90s film that stars Charles Dance.... Last Action Hero?
I think Showgirls would come first (pun intended) and Alien 3 in 2045.
Go to rental reviews they already did that one
Can someone explain what the joke is with Alien 3 and why its funny?
Wasn't that JCvD?
@@DistractedGlobeGuy What does JCVD have to do with anything?
I loved this movie when it first came out when I was 12 years old. People did not understand that this movie was an homage to bad 50's science fiction movies and gave it bad review when it was released. At 12 I got it and knew it was satirical. Such a fun movie with a great cast.
In my own head canon I like to believe Art Land is Beetlejuice when he was alive. Lol
Thanks for the shoutout! I’m a fan of the show
I loved those nasty Martians, with their angry duck speak!!
Wet t-shirt contest between Tony and newt where crystal hoses them down please
im in
Sounds good 😊
I’m sure Mint Salad would be happy to make a drawing of that!
Let's do this!
I love Mars attacks.
I saw mars attacks at the cinema, one of my favourite films! That manscaped advert was hilarious.
you should see the outtakes
Dude I collected the Dinosaur attacks cards, I had the whole set, and when the re-issue of Mars Attacks cards came out I scooped those up too. I have no idea what happened to them though :(
"mars isn't red by the way"
yes it is. that's like saying a tennis ball isn't green because it's a different color underneath the green felt.
I saw one trailer for Mars Attacks and knew it would be one of my favorite movies
This movie & Boston Market are national treasures
Here's a fun actor fact you missed the actor who played the Colin Powell General is veteran actor the late Paul Winfield who played Lt. Traxler in The Terminator
Winfield was a great actor!
I watched my VHS copy of Mars Attack this weekend to get ready for this review.
I was one of the few who saw this in theaters in fact went opening weekend. Half the theater was full. I'm glad that this movie eventually found it's audience.
this movie confused me as a kid with jack nicholson having 2 roles. i got creeped out by it too but it is a cool movie
That’s what Jack always did best…creep people out!!
Hey guys I accidentally left like 15 second of a black screen in the video. I acknowledge this mistake and you don't have to leave a comment about it.
Hey Tony you left 15 seconds of black video.
Tonetta you left 15 seconds in on accident. K?
Nerd points to Crystal for knowing about Stubbs the zombie!
Thanks!
I didn't know Christina Applegate was in this movie until now and I saw it when it came out.
Not to knock on Newt, but i always thought it was "The Frighteners" that was Michael J. Fox's last big live action film role. But regardless of which film was his last, what ways to go out from,."Frighteners" and "Mars Attacks", along with "From Dusk Till Dawn" were the three big budget sci-fi and horror films from '96 to me that I will always cherish and love.
Frighteners was released in July and Mars attacks in December, so technically newt is correct, though they were both close in release date
@@damienchronic True, I just always thought Michael J. Fox worked on Frighteners last after Mars Attacks. But hey, I've been wrong before.
His two films came out in 96
Can’t believe I’m saying this but we can have more ad’s in your shows please?
That Manscape ad you guys did was hilarious.
Mars Attacks! is brilliant and the best sequel to ALIEN3
I'm calling the police!!!!
FACTS
@@lecabramacabra9917 great band, 👀 can you book em for a video.
10:22 Jesus Christ if that picture doesn’t give everyone single hope I don’t know what would.
I am seriously jealous of Newt.
I don't think Tony mentioned that he was in Dark Knight Rises in this review.
he also did do a show called Mummy Cop as mentioned in the video
I prefer Mars Attacks to Independence Day because both are schlock, but Mars Attacks doesn't try to be anything more than that.
The internet be sleeping on Newt. Give him his own show. And another Crystal
true
I second this, and suggest tony as co host.
@@newtonwallen3210 is your friend former ECW Wrestler Steve Corino?
Love how Newt got a hair cut just for the baked in sponsor ad for ManScaped
It was Stubbs! I just got the game and I'm obsessed.
I'm old, and I even remember when X-Play reviewed it back I'm 2006.
I saw this a few times in theaters when it came out. I still love this movie. It’s sadly underrated.
Birds sing. And the martians where killed by music. So maybe it has connection?
This might be an unpopular opinion, but I like Mars Attacks a lot more than Independence Day. Mars Attacks just has a much more interesting and colorful cast of characters than that movie. Plus, I love that Mars Attacks is a love letter to shlocky '50s sci-fi movies.
At the time (1996) I would have called you crazy, but now... I completely agree! I watch Mars Attack a lot and as for Independence Day I only really watch it around the 4th of July. lol
The difference is that Tim Burton knows _Mars Attacks!_ is ridiculous-Roland Emmerich has no idea how dumb _Independence Day_ is.
I hate both of them.
That Crystal Frankenstein looks AWESOME. That is really cool. I want that as a cell phone wallpaper. Bad Ass
Nicholson didn't die in the shinning in 1980 he died sometime after the 1921 4th of july party, happy anniversary Jack, you were always my favorite caretaker
The old ladys song. Classic
To add to the Stern discussion, who could forget Eric the Midget. Ack Ack
I could probably quote Batman 89 too. It's my all time favorite movie.
Did cringey dude just say, “my boss, at the comic book store I used to own”….
Dude didn't even know how to lie correctly. Thank god he isnt on the show anymore.

and yes Student Bodies is a classic
I need to rewatch this this week.
that chick would be PERFECT for a Lolipop Chainsaw movie, lol. also, Star Solo a Han Wars Movie looks WAY worse than Alice

They are terrible
Now I have Tom Jones stuck in my head
They thought it was safe, in the basement, until the dinosaurs tunneled in...
I love just watching crystal be there
Newt would love my comic. One of the characters wears a classic style space helmet for no good reason
what is it ill check it out
@@newtonwallen3210 i actually sent it to Hack the Movies. Its the Bubba Patrol. Issue 4 is where they get their costumes

Was just thinking last night I need to watch this again, cheezy fun and favorite part is picking out all the famous faces, always seem to forget one or two of the many in this film! Great fun!
It was free here on YT a few months ago. Not sure about now.
dont forget that Lukas Haas is in Mars Attacks. He hasnt been in movies since Solarbabies and Lady in White back in the day
I swear I saw a Goldberg VHS between the Freddy VHS movies behind crystal..I checked the other hack the movies vids and can't find it now
I NEED to hear your Gremlins 3 pitch Newt!!!
sadly we are not allowed to share
Fade to black 18:16, audio desync 18:40, what could this mean? 🤔
Lukas Haas was the kid in "lady in white"
Editing problems aside, this is still one of my favorite episodes of this show.
You gotta bring the alcoholic movie theater employee back. Best guest by far.
He was fired and will never come back. We can offer you more Mint Salad episodes though.

The zombie game Crystal was talking about is called "Stubbs the zombie: Rebel without a pulse" great game btw! Great review also guys!
So glad I watched this about a month ago.
Love it already
How much would it take to fund a season 3 or maybe just a special of Mummy Cop?
Imagine the sequel being called ducks attack and have mutant ducks in it
I have to get one of those hats "AlieN 3" nice. 👾
OMG! Please do Jackie Brown! One of the best but most underrated films ever!
I like that alien 3 hat
Stubbs the Zombie is the game Crystal is thinking of. Great game!
Newt and Crystal are my Fav Tony! Just to let you know! I never skip the ads! Keep trucking! Luv ya Bruddah 🤙🏽🌴
Yay!!!!
25:23. Haha prism. Later turned to Stars. It’s been a long time since I’ve thought about that.
What happened with the blackout at 18:11?

Yes
