Give Me Back My Action&Horror Movies

Charlie rarely watches movies that never saw a VHS release but thankfully Anna made him sit down for the 2019 Ready or Not. Samara Weaving (woof. yes please) heads up a surprisingly gory "Cat and Mouse" affair that surprised us all how good it was on our first watch. This film is just so damn fun thanks to the original storyline, viciously hilarious kills and a cast that is having a bloody hoot make a horror movie. Anna's Banger Month of Annapril keeps it's momentum with this strong recommendation.

One look at Sisu should be enough for any reasonable to immediately deduce that in no way shape or for show you screw with this guy on any level. Phrases like "Yes, sir No, sir, May I help, sir, Thank you for not forcibly removing my spleen, sir" are all perfectly acceptable forms of communication with Sisu. Things like, "Imma shoot your dog, blow up your horse, steal your gold and burn down your country," are NOT what one would call a sensible conversation. Sisu is a film that flew under the radar for many action fans for the simple reason that a theatrical release shortly after the worst of the COVID pandemic killed the hopes and dreams of most films that weren't named Godzilla or Maverick.  This film is worthy of being in a "Banger" month so please see the film before you listen.P.S. I know damn well that the main character's name isn't Sisu. Don't @ me. Sisu is way easier to remember than Aatami.

I AM THE GUYVER! AGAIN! Mikey from Monster Zone joins us to gush over 1994’s The Guyver 2: Dark Hero! Sean Baker is back, setting the tone with fighting crime and dishing out cans of whoop ass! As he struggles to coexist with the sentient alien armor within, the Cronos Corporation resurfaces! That means more Zoanoids, more amazing special effects, and more badass fight choreography! This one has its ups and downs, and no Mark Hamill tease, but we do get Steve Wang in the director’s chair who brings us a faithful Guyver adaptation! Don't just watch Action, B-Action!!! 

200th Episode!!!! I'm still toweling off after the explosive love fest the cast had while covering Big Trouble in Little China. So so sticky. Anyways, it should come to no surprise that this is a favorite. It's weird, it's got monsters, kung-fu, guns, magic, sword fighting, I mean, what's not to like. This movie is THE BEST comfort food you could cinematically ingest. It's filling and you never get tired of the taste. Everyone seemed genuinely jealous that Pete got to see this in the theater until everyone realized how old he is and then they just felt sad. RIP Pete. It's coming quicker than you think.

Once a generation a film comes around that makes such an international impact on pop culture that one can't comprehend a world without it. The Wizard of Oz, Psycho, Jaws, The Godfather and Star Wars are all examples of films that have or will influence generations of creators and fans of the movie industry. We got two of these kind of films in the 90s. Jurassic Park and the Matrix are such pop culture phenomenon that it's inconceivable that we won't continue to see their fingerprints all over the movie industry for decades to come. Covering The Matrix this week was a special experience for the cast and we have a hell of a conversation. Probably the most interesting fact to pop up was the Anna hadn't seen the film since she was a kid and pretty much saw it for the first time. Final verdict: The Matrix is boss!
