The impossible has finally come to pass. Star Citizen has been release in full, fully realized. It’s sweeping awards in every category and Netflix has already paid the studio one billion dollars to adapt it to streaming. Or maybe Chuck Norris has passed and rather suddenly. Which at least prompted a resurgence of old internet memes. To that effect though, we have Code of Silence(1985).

Look, we really like going back through film catalogs of famous actors. But if death could just slow it the heck down for a bit. Maybe go collect some mosquitoes instead. Because there are only so many losses we can take and the Academy’s “in memoriam” isn’t going to get them all at this rate. So we just said goodbye to Robert Duvall and decided to do something that was around but was not the Godfather.

How may reviews for Superman movies does the world need? It needs ours and that’s about it. Everyone else can go back to Krypton. Yes, we sat down and finally watched James Gunn’s Superman[2025]. We figured we didn’t want to place it in the list of movies we’d watch when we get around to a theme episode sometime.

You know what people really love? No, not millions of dollars in unmarked bills delivered to their front door. It’s sequels after years of waiting. Which is why the movie Tron: Legacy was the most beloved of all. So how do you follow up with that? Wait over fifteen years and deliver another sequel. So we get Tron: Ares[2025].

It’s not October but we’re missing Fall. This half-assed winter can go get bent over a barrel of lube behind the local Denny’s. Bring back the cool, crunchy leaf weather darn it! So in that spirit, or not really, we have some spooky themed movies. Starting with Dead Heat(1988).
Roger Mortis is a cop and a darn good one. He starts investigating some zombie jewel heist that took all the police in California to stop. When he and his partner get to a company that might be tied, Roger ends up dead. But then he gets reanimated and has twelve hours to hunt down the owners of the zombie manufacturing company.

Load up your biotanks. Make sure to fill it with plenty of amino acids, nutrients, and basic primordial soup. Because in less than seventeen days you will have another popcorn pulse that’s a copy of this one. Until that’s complete, join us as we do Replicas[2018].
Keanu Reeves is a nuero scientist working for BioEvilCorp. They’re experimenting on transferring the consciousnesses from dead soldiers into a robot that’s their base model. This experiment isn’t going so well as they keep trying to force a shutdown upon waking up. Lucky for Keanu, his family dies and he has to practice copying their memories from their corpses into clone bodies. If he can solve one, he can solve the other and his evil boss will be sure to give him a promotion right to the grave.

Isn’t it kind of weird how Archer was a huge cultural thing for a minute? Then a group of extremists called themselves ISIS and the whole show started the flush into irrelevance. But at the very least we got a few good memes out of it. So in that spirit, we’d like to do a movie in reference to the Kenny Loggins obsession Archer had. To that end we have Danger Zone(1996).

You know why we do this? Because of all the dollar bills. That’s right, we do it for the Paycheck[2003]. What do you mean you don’t recall the John Woo film from that era outside of Mission Impossible 2? Did the performance of Ben Affleck, Uma Thurman, or Aaron Eckart not sear itself into your mind? Well listen to us dredge this corpse up and put it on the dissection table.

It seems like it’s time once more to grab some Japanese film. Especially after the passing of Tatsuya Nakadai. This gives us an excuse to go grab one of his films. So let’s grab the three hour Akira Kurosawa film, Kagemusha: The Shadow Warrior(1980).
Set before the unification of Japan, we have Tatsuya playing Shingen Takeda and his perfect double. Shingen’s regular body double found a criminal that looks like Shingen’s twin. A good thing too as lord Takeda get’s mortally wounded and begs his generals and the other double to keep the peace for at least three years. This is to keep Oda Nobunaga from becoming emboldened. Spoiler from history, this does not work out in the long run and ends in tragedy.

Anything interesting in the news today? There is, of course, another Tron movie out that no one asked for. Which people seem to be praising the score once again. And for some reason Jared Leto is headlining it. Good thing we didn’t do it for this show. Though there is always the looming threat we will do that. Lucky for us there is alcohol. Speaking of which we watched Novocaine[2025].
