Thomas Jane headlines this mess of a film from 2008. Welcome to Mutant Chronicles, a film set on earth in the past kinda, but really it's in the future. It's on earth but a big evil rock flew into the earth that then unleashed some sort of machine that turns people into mutants for some reason? Ron Perlman is also in this film as a sort of Brother dude, going through and reading from what can only be a magical book. Then we have a ton of other actors like the always entertaining Devon Aoki playing her part of a sniper that for some reason pretty much only uses hand-to-hand combat. Surprised that she went to this after Fast and the Furious Mutant Chronicles is based on a board game, it seems a lot like Warhammer at the start of the movie, and then when looking up its source that all started to make sense. The thing is, there's a lot of critical lore that is ignored and never told to people watching this movie for the first time. I can only imagine that they were planning for people to have played the game first if they were going to go to this movie?

Episode Notes Virtual combat staring Donny "The Dragon" Wilson is a movie about a grid of some kind and virtual reality. Nearly all the combat takes place in reality, basically nothing except for a short scene at the start is virtual so the name is a little misleading. The movie has some decent martial arts, but apart from that it forgets to set up the world or what's going on at all. I fell asleep during it, I can't really recommend this movie as so bad it's good End of the Reel a Podcast that focuses on the worst movies out there, trying to find the gems that shine through all the turds.

Episode Notes Where's Keanu Reeves gone :'( Speed 1 is an epic film that's totally nuts and super silly but it's also an enjoyable fast passed action film staring Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves. Sadly this is Speed 2 and instead of a Bus they have a slow moving ship. A ship you say, maybe they have sharks or something that's keeping them on? Nope, no sharks, no real reason not to just jump off the boat, nothing at stake and no one in this film wants to be in the film End of the Reel a Podcast that focuses on the worst movies out there, trying to find the gems that shine through all the turds.

Malibu Express Another Andy Sidaris film, this time with a whole heap more butts, boobs, pecs, and ass. It's an um-apologetically sleazy film that has many adult performers in it. It's still alright, but really is nothing compared to Hard Ticket to Hawaii.
