    If you watch the Blu-ray of it with the commentary, you learn about some of the problems involved. The writer wanted it to be darker. Cobra-La was a placeholder name he used till he could come up with a better one, but the studio decided to use it. He says if he had known that he'd have used something like Granny's Body Factory...

     

    If he had his way he would have simply written Shipwreck's Tijuana Vacation...

     

    Also I kinda take offense on the song and dance opening line. That is the best part of the entire damn movie. Tons of awesome action, it has a decent plot, and is beautiful to look at...

    Ah. I think I was writing that a little after having seen it, but I don't recall recognizing them as drawings of famous people. (And really, unless they were going for that sort of sticking-out thing, you'd think they could find photos of Stalin and his like.)

     

    Nah it was historically famous bad people. Plus it was done in a graphic novel style They wanted that one to be a photo so people know instantly who it is and get the joke.

    • One specific animated section where it shows a bunch of people who are evil, just generic drawings of people... then a photo of Jerry Springer.

     

    No it was people like Stalin, Billy The Kid, a few other bad people.. and Jerry Springer. I had to pause the DVD I was laughing os hard. Implying the devil was all these horribly evil people.. and Springer.

     

    Yeah Cage is bonkers in this. I loved it. It is one of those over the top bad movies that is just fun. You missed the part in the diner where he rubbed the kid's (Danny) hair. Danny is looking at a family and the dad is rubbing the son's head with his hand. Cage sees the kid looking at this, comes over to Danny sits down and rubs the kids head. Danny looks at him like he is a bit crazy. Cage says he saw a bee in his hair and didn't want him to get stung. (Oh god not the bees!)

    Ok this is a Nick Cage film that they NEED to review.

     

    Starts out in 1959 with elemntary school students writing letters/drawing pictures to put into a time capsule. One girl is crazy and writes a string of numbers on a sheet of paper. Fast forward to 2009, and Nick Cage's son recieves the paper. Cage soon figures out the numbers reveal dates death tolls and locations of major catastrophies. The race is on to try and prevent them. The ending comes out of nowhere and is beyond bonkers.

     

    The movie is pretty decent up till the last bit and the "twist" is revealed.. then it is bat shit insane to a point where the movie becomes horrid. It destroys all the good stuff of the first 2/3 of the film.

    Notarized!

    Stamped, signed and mailed.

     

    Half the fun IS listening to the confusion. especially in only one or two are thuroughly confused. The other has to keep explaining it while the confused one comes up with new confusion.

     

    As for the whole "The Doctor is coming" thing to me just says guy saw boat tip over. There might be injured. Called a doctor who is coming to help check to see they are ok.

    The Crank ones are more interview as well as Punisher 2. They talk a bit about the film but it is not the laughing analysis of the film like usual.

     

    This film is bonkers and needs to be reviewed.

     

    After his friend is murdered, the cops tell him it takes time to solve a case. He goes to the crime scene for his own investigation. Within 30 seconds he finds a spent shell casing and then immediaetly finds a gold chain torn off one of the attackers in the grass 10 feet away. How do those get missed like that?

    I had the podcast loaded on my ipod ready to listen to them pick apart the movie. I watched the film on Netflix and loved it. It is one of those so crazy it is awesome movies. Then I went to hear them poke fun of the film and Manzukis call it "Bananas"..

     

    But instead of a actual movie breakdown, I get an interview with Danny Trejo. The interview was great. I just wish they had made that a miniepisode and had a full one for the movie. It is awesomely over the top.

     

    I wish the interview episodes would be labled "Interview with..." instead of just the movie title. I prepare for some laughs as they mock a movie, and then listen to someone being intereviewed. I'm not saying "no interviews" just label them. Also actually do a watch and review episode of that film....

    My favorite SVU eps are the ones where the writers want to make a social message about something other than sex crimes, so they hamstring a rape or molestation into what is really a diatribe about big pharmaceutical companies or newspaper publishers, or whatever.

     

    Stabler: "This guy just raped over 100 women and animals."

     

    Benson: "Why?"

     

    Stabler: "He says he took Cialis for erectile dysfunction and it made him extra horny."

     

    Benson: "Rape is not about sex." [insert rape stats from FBI crime report]

     

    Stabler: "Then he's probably lying!" [rages and beat the man in custody]

     

    Munch: [conspiracy theory about Cialis]

     

    Finn: "I'm going to give you the black perspective..."

     

    Hot Asst DA: "I'm going to give the rapist 30 days suspended sentence. The real criminals are the makers of Cialis. Why don't they have a warning on the box about this?"

     

    Dear god YES!! They will turn any episode into a political soapbox and skip the crime. I know one that I saw and my jaw dropped at it. Basic summary:

     

    Car races up to hospital and dumps out young tween boy with knife wound to the back and drives off. Kid is now paralized from waist down. He attends a Catholic school. They find out that the person who stabbed him is a much younger girl. He had been making fun of her because her mom is a lesbian. He cut her hair to a boyish look and she grabbed the scissors after he was done and stabbed him in the back. Her older half brother (who lives with other relatives and goes to same school) drove the kid to the hospital with a teachers car. The girl is made fun of for having gay parents while attending a CATHOLIC SCHOOL!! The mom wants the girl to go there for the education.

     

    Then it becomes an issue of parental rights. The biological mom is dying in the hospital and the other mom allowed the kid to be interviewed. When it comes back to bite her she claims no legal guardianship of the kid so it can't be used against her. Then she fight for custody against the girls biological grandparents. They refuse visitation and such and when uestioned they say something about the gay people are horrible parents or something. Forget exactly what it was but it was mildly against gays. The COPS ask where they heard this and they say from their lawyer, The cops pull out Pro-gay pamphlets and the grandparents immediaetly take to this like it is fascinating and they were wrong the whole time. The cops then arrest the lawer on "hate crimes". End of episode

     

    So let's look at it like this. Little boy is paralized. Little girl is not punished. Stepmom tries to manipulate the system to protect girl. Biological mom dies. Girl is placed with grandarents. They make very mild anti gay remark and are quickly converted by a piece of paper. Lawyer is arrested for handing out propaganda..

    Don't need to see it on Netflix as I own this on DVD.

     

    Hilarious movie that is indeed way over the top crazy. I think it would fit with the kind of crazy stuff they watch. It is all kinds of awesome.

     

     

    I prefer to buy most of my DVDs. It is there when I want it and I don't have to worry about the subscription service taking it away. I still do use Netflix for movies they mention on here, some TV Shows and such. Heck one of my fav TV shows, The Good Guys (2010), doesn't have a DVD release, yet it is on Netflix. Been watching the episodes now and then.

    Martin Lawrence is a jewel thief who while being chased ducks into a building under construction and hides the jewels. He is then caught and arrested. He serves his time then goes back to retrieve them.. only the building is a new police headquarters. He pretends to be a cop so he has a reason to be there.

     

    The cops in this thing are a dumber than dirt. Martin Lawerance overacts even for him.

    Yeah this could work. It is four weird ass tales. Lot of weirdness going on. Plus the time line can be a bit of a mess. Try figuring out how the time lines of the two middle stories line up is a pain because they are supposed to happen at the same time. But there is no way for all that stuff to happen in that time frame...

    For me, the podcast is only ever half as fun if you haven't seen the movie. HDTGM is amazing because it captures that moment when you walk out of a bad movie with your friends and begin freaking out with them over wtf you just saw. If you watch the movie beforehand, you get to join them in their confusion. Them trying to figure out the very first scene for 20 minutes was easily my favorite part of the show because I was just as confused as they were. I can see how it would be frustrating if you hadn't seen the movie, but IMO you should always watch the movie beforehand. Especially if it's Sleepaway Camp.

     

    Agreed. You have to see the movie or be familier with it to really enjoy these. Well at least with a movie like this. I've known this this one for a while. Hearing them trying to work out the relationship is hilarious. I know the confusion. It is a little hard to follow. I was laughing the entire time.

     

    Some movies you don't need to see, but it helps.

    One thing I want to know is how the hell Zevo toys stayed in any sense of business. Seriously. There is no fiscal way for them to survive.

     

    1. Manufacturing - Everything seems to be assembled by hand and never packaged. We see three large head things that spit out parts onto an airport luggage carosel where dancing workers put the two to three parts together. That is expensive.

     

    2. Location - where the hell are they? They are miles and miles from anything! They are surrounded by miles of grass. Just a single building in the middle of no where? Where do they get supplies? Also that must be a bitch of a drive to work. A single one lane road in/out of the facility.

     

    3. The Toys - Nothing is remotely modern. The only "modern" thing looked like a big ride on truck or something. There are wind up toys that no kid played with in the past 20 years. The spend money and research fake vomit like it is the biggest thing in the world. We know REAL toy lines exist because we see the general visit a toy store and see GI Joe toys.
