It’s that time of year again where the promised sequels, just like the executives on top of their favorite hookers, are coming. We have at least one of those cock teases which do not lead to sex in the champagne room. That’s right, Dune: Part 2[2024]. So the first part seemed kind of promising. Baron Harkonen’s plan had succeeded in driving out the Atredies and retaking Arrakis. We weren’t threatened with a trilogy so everything has to wrap up in this one. That’s a lot of reliance on the acting ability of the failed Wonka player. There’s a lot to pick apart and we do our darnedest to stay on … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 229: Arrakis Fracas"

What do you do with a drunken sailor? You could fine him and send him off with his purse a little lighter. Or, hear me out, you could give him a podcast wherein he talks about manga.

Not much snark to go here so we’ll get right into the film. We’re going old school this time with Daredevil[2003]. Yes, one of the first Marvel movies before their studio was purchased by the house of mouse. And it’s over twenty years old at this point. Tuck your shirt into your highwaisted pants and let’s go to the buffet, old folks. It’s an origin story for Daredevil with the future Bat-Fleck playing the blind lawyer. It’s also a longer film clocking in at over two hours. Why? Because fuck you and your bladder. This is before the two hour mark was the norm thanks to all the empty multiplexes … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 228: Last Dare"

Nothing says summer and the beach quite like shark movies. They almost have to go together because otherwise sharks aren’t very dangerous. You aren’t likely to run across a great white in a coal mine or while driving across Nebraska. But sharks have been overdone since the late seventies. In no small part due to all the Jaws clones. So what if there was a really big shark? That’s the question The Meg wants to ask and answers it by making up contrived scenario where a Megalodon has survived into the modern day. This also gives it an excuse to be able to attack large ships that normally ignore ocean … Continue reading "Script 2 Script 36: The Meg"
