Movie 43
Godzilla vs Megalon
It’s been years since I saw it, but it was my jam as a kid. Some sea people are mad and send their giant beetle thing, Megalon, to attack the surface, the sea people (Seatopians) also get help from aliens that send their kaiju, Gigan, to assist. A size changing robot, Jet Jaguar, gets his ass beat but Godzilla comes to the rescue in the nick of time. The end battle is a straight up WWE tag team matchup with kaijus!
Plus the movie ends with Jet Jaguar’s bad ass theme song and a freeze frame!
I hate to break it to you, but those are just actors in suits. That isn’t even the real Godzilla!
Nooooooo! This is fake news. FAKE NEWS!
All of the Sharknado movies
Demolition Man
I’ve loved this movie since I first saw it in the 90s. Thinking back on it, this movie really laid the blue print for Joss Whedon and James Gunn type MCU and DCU movies. Great action sequences, a good dose of humor, and decent story that doesn’t pretend to be anything more than a fun movie.
Robot jox is hilariously irredeemable. I watched it again recently and it was horrible. I’m going to watch it again later in life when I forget that because I’ve convinced myself it is not.
Super Troopers. It is such a ‘I dont know how we got the money for this script but here we fucking go’ movie. Good fun, good laughs.
The first few minutes of that movie are comedic gold.
Monsters vs Aliens. One of the most fun and referenceable movies of all time.
thank you so much!! just had a blast rewatching it after not having seen it for a long time. i guess the “code brown” joke (the president shitting his pants) is more current than ever.

Tetsuo: The Iron Man.
Pure. Fucking.
MagicInsanity.How is Tetsuo ‘objectively terrible’?
Personally, I think it’s a masterpiece. No notes. The people I’ve shown it to, on the other hand, have expressed different opinions.
Maybe it’s the movie equivalent of “acquired taste”. I loved it, even if the sound design gave me a headache, but I can’t imagine anyone who doesn’t already actively seek out strange movies enjoying it LOL
If it’s your thing then it’s perfection, top to bottom, but if it’s not your thing then it’s kind of a nauseating nightmare from what I’ve been told.
Reminds me of when I showed my ex Garth Marenghi’s Dark Place, the greatest tv event in world history, and her response was “I was waiting for it to be funny.”

At first glance I thought this said “The Iron Giant” and I was about to throw hands

is it objectively terrible if it was designed to be so. My philosiraptor might be having a stroke.
(I assumed you meant UHF)
John dies at the end, I really like the book series and some of the lines are great but overall a poorly edited garbage movie
Most of the Halloween movies, resident evil, and underworld are sloppy messes I’m here for just to see how weird they go
And a bunch of the cheap, pulp horror like Troma and actiony Neil Breen that aren’t on most streaming services
Anything by Jason Pargin is awesome. The dude basically created the millenial internet discourse with Cracked. He’s now pretty big on things like TikTok and YouTube and I highly recommend following him.
I am also a subscriber, I read John Dies At The End when it was a free book being discussed and shared when Jason was on SomethingAwful way back in the 2000’s, it was a great piece of easy-to-digest fiction that touched on a lot of themes and memes that were going around at the time so it gained a level of notoriety because of the creepiness factor of how much seemed to connect to headlines at the time.
Jason is just a good author and good at tying together a lot of wildly varied ideas into one point, better than most at it without coming off as conspiratorial, I think he deserves a lot more subscribers and reward for staying so consistent. (Other than about his name that is.)
I loved the John dies at the end series, I didn’t know they were adapted into a movie!
If you loved the book, you would probably not like the movie.
The book is pretty campy already, I can easily imagine the movie being awful!
Holy shit, there are others! I fucking loved the movie, considering the budget they did an OK job, it’s only like 1/3 of the book that has been randomized, but it gives that taste of the truly strange that is so rare to find. It’s a trash ass film, though, through and through. Great cast, though.
The books are my all time favorite series, I can’t wait for the next one. Have you read any of Jason Pargin’s other books? They’re all bangers.
Yeah! The Zoey Ashe series is great too. I haven’t read the last book he released yet but I do really enjoy his stories and style.
Black Box Of Doom was really good, I highly recommend it. It’s very different from his other books as far as setting, since it’s set in the regular normal non-lovecraftian/Blade Runner world, but the story is just as gonzo as his other books, I had a blast reading it.
Spiderman 3
I feel like people got the wrong idea based on their criticism of Peter during his descent into evil.
How’s the pie?
Night Patrol and The Party Animal

EDIT: I linked the wrong Night Patrol film.
The Party Animal.
Now there is a movie I haven’t thought about in decades.
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance - one of the worst Marvel adaptations, but also one of the most unintentionally funny movies of all time.
Nic Cage trying to stop an old man from getting inside a little boy?
Establishing that any vehicle Ghost Rider drives gets a hellish makeover so they can have a flaming Bagger 288 for an action set piece?
Pure cinema.
Thanks for all the suggestions, I think I now have a late new year’s resolution.
I’ll download all of them this weekend and watch as many as possible the end of the year.
