The Half Hour of Power

Brandon and I have reached the end of this travesty. The show never got better. It never did anything well...except waste Star Wars! Plot: Past tragedies are revisited in the light of new truth, and a surprise choice leads the way to an uncertain future.

In this throwback episode to our Blogtalk days, Jesse and I discuss our love of Takashi Miike. If you have not seen one of his movies, for shame on you!

We made it to episode 7! How can it be that this show never improves? It never does! Plot: A bitter truth is revealed.

Brandon and I discuss the horror film, In A Violent Nature. It is a different take on the slasher film. Enjoy! Plot: When a locket is removed from a collapsed fire tower in the woods that entombs the rotting corpse of Johnny, a vengeful spirit spurred on by a horrific 60-year old crime, his body is resurrected and becomes hellbent on retrieving it.

Brandon and I continue our journey through the new Star Wars show, The Acolyte. Unfortunately, we are bearing witness to something atrocious. Plot: On a distant island, unsettling questions about identity and destiny arise.

Brandon and I take on the new Russell Crowe demon movie, The Exorcism! Is it better than the Pope's Exorcist? Plot: A troubled actor begins exhibiting disruptive behavior while shooting a horror film. His estranged daughter wonders if he's slipping back into his past addictions or if there's something more sinister at play.

Brandon and I continue with the Acolyte! This episode gives us the Villain reveal, and lightsaber fights! Is the episode good or passable because of those two things? Nope! Plot: In a dense jungle, the Jedi are put to the test when they confront a rising darkness.

Brandon and I try to make sense of all the DEEP HURTING The Acolyte is inflicting on the world. Plot: Racing to the next target, the Jedi head to a new world as they close in on the clever assassin.

Brandon and I discuss the sad Blair Witch news.

Brandon and I brace ourselves for more DEEP HURTING with the 3rd episode in Star Wars: The Acolyte Series! Plot: On a mysterious planet, the tragic journey of two sisters begins.

Brandon and I discuss the first two episodes of the new Star Wars show. We are prepared for some Deep Hurting! Plot: An investigation into a shocking crime spree pits a respected Jedi Master against a dangerous warrior from his past. As more clues emerge, they travel down a dark path where sinister forces reveal all is not what it seems…

Mike Flanagan is helming the new Exorcist Movie. He sounds like he does not want to and that Blumhouse hates all of us! Brandon and I discuss the absurdity of it all! https://www.cbr.com/mike-flanagan-exorcist-movie-long-monologues/

Brandon, Marc, and I discuss the new Taika Waititi version of Time Bandits. It made Terry Gilliam walk off the set. Hmmm... https://boundingintocomics.com/2024/05/24/in-apparent-avoid-offense-taika-waititis-time-bandits-tv-remake-will-not-feature-dwarfs/

Karyn Kusama's Dracula film is canceled. Brandon, Marc, and I scratch our heads as we read her comments on the matter. https://www.worldofreel.com/blog/2024/5/11/karyn-kusama https://www.youtube.com/@deflepmarc

David Lynch's Dune turns 40 this year. Brandon and I take on the Spice! Plot: A Duke's son leads desert warriors against the galactic emperor and his father's evil nemesis to free their desert world from the emperor's rule.

Brandon and I are joined by Godzilla Superfan, Brett, to discuss the new Monsterverse throwdown...Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire! Plot: Two ancient titans, Godzilla and Kong, clash in an epic battle as humans unravel their intertwined origins and connection to Skull Island's mysteries.

Brandon and I discuss the trailer for the new Crow movie. Is this a remake, a reboot, or a reimagining? Who knows anymore as all those terms are now used interchangeably. This movie is based on the same book as the 1994 film The Crow. Why do they do this? Why do they not learn the lessons of the previous Crow sequels? They never learn and never will.

Brandon and I are back with Blackenstein! Plot: Eddie is a Vietnam war veteran who loses both his arms and his legs when he steps on a land mine. A brilliant surgeon is able to attach new limbs, but his assistant switches the DNA injections, transforming him into a huge hulking monster.
