Great. Star Wars Episode 9: The Rise of Skywalker. While setting up to film another batch of Rental Reviews we found out about the Episode 9 trailer premiering at Star Wars Celebration. So James, Kieran, and Tony sat down to talk about their thoughts on this movie and new Star Wars in general.
It is a very good time to be a Godzilla fan. The biggest Japanese monster of all time is getting his third American-made production on the big screens, internationally, with Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), finally with Mothra, Rodan and King Ghidorah. But if you wanna know what that’s all about and where it all came from, here's my top 5 picks for the new watcher.
Godzilla vs Kong is right around the corner. But will it be too dark? There seems to be a growing cliche, that monsters usually fight in darkness and rain, such as the first two Legendary Pictures Godzilla films. It's my hope that Godzilla Vs Kong will give us some daytime fighting, like in Kong: Skull Island, and most of Godzilla's classic fights.

It may be March-al Arts but James and Tony didn't want to miss out on another Leprechaun review. So enjoy this bonus video for Leprechaun 2 and Happy St. Paddy's Day!
A leprechaun (Warwick Davis) surfaces in Los Angeles to claim a bride, as his previous object of affection was denied to him a thousand years before in Ireland. He kidnaps teenager Bridget (Shevonne Durkin), grotesquely murdering anyone who gets in his way. It falls to Bridget's boyfriend, Cody (Charlie Heath), to rescue her. Cody enlists the aid of his perpetually tipsy uncle, Morty (Sandy Baron), who decides to go after the homicidal leprechaun's pot of gold.
Bob Ross is definitely one of my childhood heroes. He's probably the first person that got me into art, even before film making. For those who don't know, Bob Ross was an American painter, art instructor, and television host. He was the creator and host of The Joy of Painting, an instructional television program that aired from 1983 to 1994 on PBS in the United States, and also aired in Canada, Latin America, and Europe. Ross went from being a public television personality in the 1980s and 1990s to posthumously being an Internet celebrity in the 21st century, with his talent and kindness leading to major popularity with fans online many years after his death.
THE THING is an underrated classic. Oh, did you think I meant John Carpenter's The Thing from 1982?? No, I mean the Howard Hawks original film from 1951 called The Thing from Another World, which usually has been referred to as just "The Thing". It's an American black-and-white science fiction-horror film based on the 1938 novella Who Goes There? by John W. Campbell. In the movie, a U.S. Air Force crew and scientists find a crashed flying saucer and a humanoid body frozen in the Arctic ice. Returning to their remote research outpost with the body still in a block of ice, they are forced to defend themselves against the still alive and malevolent plant-based alien when it is accidentally defrosted.
James, Justin, and Kieran traveled to the last Blockbuster Video that's located in Bend, Oregon!! They took a road trip down from Portland, after Portland Retro Gaming Expo weekend October, 2019. The sights, sounds, and smells of their old stomping grounds was like something else. A flash from the past, where you would always go every Friday night to get the newest movie releases, hottest games, or obscure b-movie rentals. Sadly, Blockbuster's 9,000 world-wide locations dwindled down to just one. But, that comes with everything turning digital... or with movies just slapped into the Red Box at your local grocery store. Regardless, the Last Blockbuster in Bend is a tribute to anyone who lived in the 90s, especially with their museum section and classic memorabilia everywhere. Thanks to the owner Sandi for allowing us to film in the store! And, sorry that our audio isn't the best, the store is very active.
Here are some forgotten film franchises that world has forgotten about. James sets up some criteria and goes over a ton of worthy contenders of the biggest franchises to be discontinued and rarely talked about today, and some that might be best forgotten. Even some with 40+ movies to their series. Enjoy this Cinemassacre review!
Remember that scene in Troll 2, where the teens are watching that movie in their TV? It shows a guy in an ape costume touching a glowing egg, then getting shot in the air like a rocket! What with that? Well, that movie is called GRUNT from 1983, and it's some weird Italian caveman movie. Let's dive into the history of how I figured it out. Enjoy this Cinemassacre review!
Aqua Teen Hunger Force! One of my favorite shows in the early 2000s. It's about a trio of fast-food items that work together to solve mysteries in an edgy adult cartoon. The brains of the group is Frylock, a floating box of fries, but Master Shake does a lot of the talking, most of it aimed at making life miserable for Meatwad, a sweet-natured ball of meat. Recurring characters include neighbor Carl, supercilious Mooninites (lunar creatures) Ignigknot and Err, and mad scientists Dr. Weird and Steve. Enjoy this Cinemassacre review!
