1:12:45 Fun Fact: When Mae Whitman did that scene she actually asked the director if she should do the line as if the character was aware that her mother had died or if she really thought she was sleeping.
This channel is healthy. The spin off of rental reviews with the old set was a very good albeit no Brainer idea. I've noticed there are consistently over a 1k simultaneous viewers for the live streams once they get rolling. For a channel with 36k subs and counting, those have to be encouraging numbers.
I agree as well. Disney is manipulating people's nostalgia for financial gain with these remakes. The movies are mediocre at best and blind nostalgia is the only thread remaining that drives most people to patronize them.
Saw Newt's tweet about the Nightmare on Elm Street tapes sandwiching a Goldberg tape and I can't stop looking for that section in the background of this video!
This is off the subject about this movie just wanted to say glad everything worked out for you with the show hack the movies listening to yall pod cast got me going back and watching some movies that yall discuss
@@robk.6591 right, as someone who had the Mars Attacks and Dinosaurs attack cards as a kid it was awesome seeing the art on the cards brought to life. plus it felt like a more polished version of the 50's alien B-Movies it was paying homage to. I actually did get more entertainment from Mars Attacks than I did from Independence Day. It would be kinda cool if someone could Mars Attacks in black and white at a drive-in theater, the black and white color would compliment the special effects and give some scenes a creepier vibe. This flick doesn't get the respect it deserves.
Newt recalling Dear John. I remember that theme song too. Independence Day released in 96. MIB released in 97. The Dallas Cowboys won the Super Bowl played in 1996.
@@theitfactorjameswheezer2852 no I didn’t actually believe, it’s just one of those things where it’s fun to say there are aliens… but now it’s so overdone that it’s not fun anymore
I watched a lot of TV as a kid in the 80’s & 90’s and I have a feeling a lot of folks from that era remember that opening theme more than the actual show.
Same thing happend to me as Newt. Days of our lives had a story line where Marlena got possessed by a demon. Completely forgot about that till now. Only time I’ve ever watched the show.
I relate to Newt so much. He got my attention with the Disney Adventure mention, I started fangirling officially at the My Pet Monster reference, and now he's singing the Dear John theme song. He's my favorite. And my brain works the same way. Set something to music and I'll remember it forever whether I want to or not. My brain is chockful of useless theme songs, jingles and whatnot. Much love from Pittsburgh, Newt. 💕
wow, the only reason my mid-90s-born ass even knows what Dr. Katz even was, is that I had a copy of that same issue of Cracked you mentioned at 46:45 growing up
Spielberg’s War of the Worlds is pretty damn good. I like Man of Steel fine enough but it’s bizarre to hear Newt, who enjoys that film, complain about on the nose 9/11 parallels. Art always reflects the horrors of the time. Why do you think every New Hollywood movie in the 70’s had such a cynicism to them with alienated flawed protagonists after the Manson murders in 69 shattered the free love optimism of the hippies. Also just look at how many Vietnam films came out. The problem now with inserting real world parallels in major Hollywood films is it always feels so insincere, like it was a decision made in a board room by executives and not an honest artistic choice by an individual.
Nice. Was in time for Canada Day. Man I was 11 when I saw this. Saw this with my Uncle, Pops and somehow my Grandmother as my Aunt was sick that night. I saw Stargate in 1994 so I was kinda pumped. Commercials pumped this sucker up. I remember getting kirby's block ball (since I loved playing arkanoid before my piano lessons in the waiting section, get this baller take on arkanoid only 3 dollars on eshop) while we were traveling in the USA that year and seeing a crazy standup alien from the film in a collectors shop in the same mall that I got that gameboy game.
I maybe crazy but I would have sworn I heard the song "It's the end of the world" by R.E.M watching this in the movie theatre. When I rewatched it 20 years later on HBO, the song was taken out. They did not have rights to play it? Or maybe it was in the commercials.
Random thing to say but always felt a little sad for US vhs collectors with so many of them having covers made from paper, I collect classic UK Manga and horror vhs and the UK clam shell covers hold up so well over time.
This is my absolute favorite movie! So glad to hear you guys talk about it. Tony, that was my ID4 poster in the JP group where you had commented your Godzilla merch.
Whoa- Making Contact? That dummy Fletcher scared me as a kid. In a movie where a kid talks to what he thinks is his dad but is really a black magic spell- the dummy is what got me. Also- Ann
Alright, got the new recorder. Got to bring another issue, but Newt's microphone makes his voice kinda muffled... Not trying to be nitpicky, i just have sensitive ears haha
Newt I know exactly what you're talking about with General Hospital. I also think there was a concurrent storyline with young Robin and an alien (who was in the form of a young man) trying to get a piece of technology back which was used to make the weather machine.
Loved this movie when I saw it in theaters in 1996 and still love it today. Bad Boys - 1995 Independence Day - 1996 Men In Black - 1997 The holy triumvirate of Will Smith 90s movies.
Aww Tony wants to have the last word...VHS Fest sounds cool...you had me at Troma...one of these days....I'll go to a Fest.....still jealous of you and Justy going to Astronomicon and meeting Twiztid...I'm a pretty big fan...of Twiztid lol...I'm just playin' y'all know I love you...
There was a US Version of Dear John and it had the same song?! See, Newt isn’t just a guy who starts sentences with the words “when I used to work in a movie theatre...” There’s more!
I missed out on seeing it in theaters when it came out. I had seen it multiple times on video and on TV, but I wondered how the theatrical experience was. Back in 2016 when the second film was coming out, I figured that I make up for it by seeing a double feature on the two films. I am glad that I experienced the first film in theaters even 20 years later. The second film, well, that's a different story.
Ironic that they're criticizing the movie's runtime when this video could've probably been around 45-minutes long if they didn't go into so many tangents.
Aerospace Engineer here: satellites are fueled by Hydrazine and Nitrogen Tetroxide and that basically explodes when they mix so if you break a sat and they get mixed it probably explodes
Satellites often use hydrazine fuel, which would indeed explode... However, it burns with a clear flame, so you wouldn't see it. Although you would see the debris it kicks up.
The little mermaid is a story ripped from polish folktale about a polish mermaid, can newt name a single black polish person? We can give him 2000 years of history to select from.
"Arielle is fictional. She can be whatever." Yea, let's just apply that logic to a character like, I don't know, uh...Black Panther? Yea, let's see how that would turn out.
The JP toys put out a second line for Dennis without glasses to try and make up for it but it also was hot garbage. The ID4 alien inside the exoskeleton was cardboard though! I had a 16bit video card so playing that mini game through the first time was SO hard, five minutes once Windows 98 came around :)
I recall patiently explaining to my friends how much this movie borrowed some of the visuals from the classic tv show 'V', and nobody having any idea what I was talking about. I believe that is still the case now.
In the novelization of the movie, not only does it include Jeff Goldblum's character's boss saying, "F**k my lawyer", but it also explains that while Jasmine, her son, and the dog were in that tunnel, they were above a grate which kept flowing the air up while the fire was going past. Thus, that's how they were able to survive in the tunnel. Also, the crop-duster plane/bomb ending was featured in the book. Regarding the shields, I think they were physics based. They would automatically deflect projectiles, energy blasts, etc. that could be potentially detrimental to the ship, but if it was an object moving below a particular speed (factoring in weight, and rate of momentum) then it would be permitted through. Because yeah, some things passed through but others didn't (and the deciding factor was input to determine automatically). That was the theory I had when I watched this in the theater. Remember, they're aliens with big heads and they build stuff like this.

I remember walking out of the theater after this and seeing a bunch of contrails as the sun set and thinking "I'mmmmmm baaaaackkkkk"
The Tony Show is the best review channel. Thank you Newt.
Dallas won the 96 Superbowl. 9ers won in 95.
Sportsbowl!
Thought I was the only one who caught that
I believe Mickey and Mallory Knox hatched their violent prison escape immediately after that game.
My mom used to jam general hospital all day too newt. That shows still going strong
really. its been on since the 50s i think
1:12:45 Fun Fact: When Mae Whitman did that scene she actually asked the director if she should do the line as if the character was aware that her mother had died or if she really thought she was sleeping.
"Ah, grandma Tarkin. I thought I recognized your foul stench as I got off the elevator."
Because grandmas smell awful, I get it.
You guys crank these out so fast and I’m loving it. Tony I love the charisma as much as I love hearing Newt’s stories.
Why can't I tell if this is sarcasm 🤣

@@newtonwallen3210 You're welcome, thank you too.
I’d love to see you guys do Volcano and Dante’s Peak haha those would be gold
I 110% agree with Newt & Tony: “Stop watching the Disney remakes!!!!”.
I agree as well. Disney is manipulating people's nostalgia for financial gain with these remakes. The movies are mediocre at best and blind nostalgia is the only thread remaining that drives most people to patronize them.
Its so weird seeing what upsets grown men in the 2020's. God damned pathetic
Mae Whitman is not Alia Shawkat, but I see where you’re coming from, Tony From Hack The Movies.
I look forward to hearing more of Newt's stories!
Sounds like a good series
I watch this just to hear Newts stories. And to also see Famous Tony. He is super famous.
Saw Newt's tweet about the Nightmare on Elm Street tapes sandwiching a Goldberg tape and I can't stop looking for that section in the background of this video!
we shot this before i did that
Newt: Wicked Game is the sexiest song ever.
Tony: ah yes *starts singing the Star Trek theme
Lol!
“There is no such thing as Area 51” the Air Force denied its existence until 2005 my dudes
I’m convinced the only reason Zero Dark Thirty was greenlit is solely to underscore the official story behind Area 51
Jesse Ventura told me the real aliens are actually I'm Area 52.
“There ain’t nothing to do on Mars except study the rocks and knockin da boots!” Best tag line evaaah! 😓😂

Half the video's off the subject anyway.
Do you think Will Smith watches the beginning of Scream 2 over and over after his wife cheated on him?
I would!
That firework ending was wholesome. Thanks guys!
Would love Crystal and Newt (Tony too I guess) to review “A Perfect Getaway”. It’s a little obscure but I love it lol
I think there was another Alien based film they've been meaning to review, it has body horror and a dog 🤔... oh yeah, Mars Attacks!!!!
Mars Attacks is awesome. I don't understand why critics didn't like it.

Mars attacks has a great cast as well!!
Men in Black and now Independence Day? Naissss
"kotaku is garbage"
Yes. Thank you.
Kotaku actually does a lot of good reporting, the only people who call it garbage are triggered anti-SJWs who watch too many Quartering videos
can you guys please review Austin powers? you guys teased it on rental reviews but never happened
Newt recalling Dear John. I remember that theme song too.
Independence Day released in 96. MIB released in 97.
The Dallas Cowboys won the Super Bowl played in 1996.
Yeees miniatures!! So excited for this.
Epic miniatures
This got me through the day, another great video, you guys should do a video about Aliens but maybe do the second sequel like a 3rd Aliens movie
You forget that back in the mid 90s, the govt was still denying "area 51" existed
Now it’s become such a cliche to think aliens are at Area 51, I don’t even believe it anymore lmao

Lol i remember random song lyrics too Newt, nothing to be ashamed of
