Also what if this terrifying being was Russell Crowe and you see his butt and he acts like the Joker the entire time? Those are the questions that 1995’s <i><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114857">Virtuosity</a></i> asks. Join us and special returning guest Sarah Long as we deep dive into this ‘90s cyberpunk classic.</p><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tdYoDEh_L7M?si=cDIEU3NIx_Gapuyz" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></div><p>Parker Barnes (Denzel Washington) is a former cop wrongfully imprisoned (he did kill two innocent people, but it was an accident and he looked cool while he was doing it) performing tests in a VR environment designed to train cops on what to do if a serial killer creates a hostage situation in a Japanese restaurant. The program kills Barnes’s virtual partner, and then the serial killer program, SID 6.7 (Crowe) is made real and escapes into reality. Though SID is made up of many baddies, the “dominant” personality is that of Matthew Grimes (Christopher Murray), a super terrorist who killed Barnes’s family. Therefore Barnes is the only person who can stop him, so they implant a tracking/kill device into his brain and set him on the hunt.</p><p>Barnes’s de facto partner is criminal psychologist Madison Carter (Kelly Lynch), a single mom with a precocious daughter Karin (Kaley Cuoco). I sure hope that kid doesn’t get kidnapped! Will Barnes stop the killer in time? Did he really shoot that woman on the train? Or was it the mass murderer holding her hostage? Why didn't they give that guy clothes before going on TV? And how do you say the name “Fichtner?” Is it like sphincter? All this and more in our latest episode!</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4099941524071948470.post-2521773898783732402024-03-08T08:14:00.000-06:002024-03-08T08:14:06.377-06:00Podcast: Madame Web (2024)<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYOi32URus4A4_lcFevPN4XJsk0jPSZEHJlcnx1qR_gt5_rmIDk1xkAk705OTnLwdznZnR3fe9jFPsC7Ul8eDcLDqJYmlL50hDXHnZ088N-rffZphQFAToH0T6ZyZoUvPrURD9fSstxI18cl9WLaVnD0ukZju4v9MmPkxdgCBmjExiJxC01_DI3V8_0wxX/s2000/MadameWeb.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1270" data-original-width="2000" height="406" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYOi32URus4A4_lcFevPN4XJsk0jPSZEHJlcnx1qR_gt5_rmIDk1xkAk705OTnLwdznZnR3fe9jFPsC7Ul8eDcLDqJYmlL50hDXHnZ088N-rffZphQFAToH0T6ZyZoUvPrURD9fSstxI18cl9WLaVnD0ukZju4v9MmPkxdgCBmjExiJxC01_DI3V8_0wxX/w640-h406/MadameWeb.jpeg" width="640" /></a><iframe allowfullscreen="" height="64" mozallowfullscreen="true" msallowfullscreen="true" oallowfullscreen="true" scrolling="no" src="https://play.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/30289078/height/64/theme/modern/size/small/thumbnail/no/custom-color/cfd82e/time-start/00:00:00/playlist-height/200/direction/backward/download/yes/font-color/000000" style="border: none;" title="Embed Player" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="100%"></iframe></div><p>Your Stupid Minds is back after a February break with the film that connects us all, it’s 2024’s <i><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11057302/reference/">Madame Web</a></i>, brought to you by the delicious taste of Pepsi-Cola!</p><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/s_76M4c4LTo?si=_AOTHUShB0Sw6jRC" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></div><p>Cassandra Webb (Dakota Johnson) is a sassy New York EMT who has trouble connecting to people except for her partner Ben (Adam Scott).

Their mission is to kidnap some Russian guy for information, which they fail at spectacularly.</div><div><br /></div><div>But Stone isn’t a normal MI6 agent. She’s actually part of an even secreter organization called the Charter, which does everything based on the word of an AI supercomputer called the Heart. The Heart has the power to change the tide of human history, but they mostly use it for video game vision in the field and spewing out useless probabilities in real time. As a double agent, Stone is tasked with finding out who’s trying to destroy the Heart, which for the most part she also fails at spectacularly until it’s too late.</div><div><br /></div><div>Cars blow up, people jump out of airplanes, and unconvincing CGI muzzle flashes light up the screen. It’s about what you’d expect from another $150 million Netflix screensaver. But is it better or worse than your average first quarter theatrical release action flick?

The mission goes off without a hitch, Mason collects his $20,000, and his wife loves him again. The end.</p><p>Just kidding. The mission goes sideways when a coup d'état breaks out during the visit. Venegas’s worm nephew Jorge (Sebastian Eslava) is under the control of foreign powers who want to strip the country of its natural resources.

It’s the free agent holiday movie starring WWE's Trish Status, 2022's <i><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21373340/reference/">Christmas in Rockwell</a></i>.</p><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tmlhc_0Utpw?si=pEvvfFivK2cMi09q" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></div><p>Alyssa (Stratus) is a former child actress turned grown up actress who made it big at 12 years old with <i>Holly's Puppy Christmas</i> (or something similarly titled, I don’t want to go back and look it up). She travels to Rockwell, Nowheredaho (but really it's in Canada), her home town that she hasn't been to since she left as a child for the bright lights of Los Angeles.</p><p>Her goal is to fulfill her Christmas list, doing all the holiday things she missed out on as a child and are part and parcel for these types of movies: Go ice skating, sit on Santa's lap, hang out in a hotel lobby for a while. The only problem? It's the 25th anniversary of <i>Christmas Holly's Puppies</i>, and she doesn't want anyone (especially the press) to know she's in town.</p><p>She immediately has a meet cute with the obligatory bland single 30-something hunk Jake (Stephen Huszar). Jake runs an arthouse movie theater with his mom Juniper (Sheila McCarthy) and her secret lover Morty (Roy Lewis). The theater is failing because mom insists on only showing obscure ancient arthouse films that no one's heard of and do not exist. Other than that Jake is a complete blank slate, a man without a past, who speaks only in vague aphorisms. If he existed anywhere outside of a made-for-streaming Christmas movie he would be an amnesia patient or serial killer.</p><p>Short story short: The press find out Alyssa is in town and the <i>Puppy Holly Christmas</i> superfans lose their minds. She blames Jake but he obviously didn't spill the beans because he is incapable of independent thought or action. Will they reconcile and smooch? Yes. Is there any wrestling in this movie? No.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4099941524071948470.post-62020821560191151142023-12-01T09:16:00.002-06:002023-12-01T20:55:11.108-06:00Podcast: Assassin's Creed (2016)<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV2iAvAU8WoR1qd34GNhkEjywwi1FSSr9thg9DGt3qXZlu6Oiklf2pPsfizT3Vyh7Aldl2MQpyyQX6Z5StQ55ab4rInZVXcmBya5GqC87JPglX_I1-FnJ2aUW8bJTew-c9koQvlv26OzOlh-vY9VjKDLg_3WEDXqtuN37Fmo11tO6Kx10eLVw9Of0O1yps/s1920/AssassinsCreed.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV2iAvAU8WoR1qd34GNhkEjywwi1FSSr9thg9DGt3qXZlu6Oiklf2pPsfizT3Vyh7Aldl2MQpyyQX6Z5StQ55ab4rInZVXcmBya5GqC87JPglX_I1-FnJ2aUW8bJTew-c9koQvlv26OzOlh-vY9VjKDLg_3WEDXqtuN37Fmo11tO6Kx10eLVw9Of0O1yps/w640-h360/AssassinsCreed.jpeg" width="640" /></a><iframe allowfullscreen="" height="64" mozallowfullscreen="true" msallowfullscreen="true" oallowfullscreen="true" scrolling="no" src="https://play.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/28884113/height/64/theme/modern/size/small/thumbnail/no/custom-color/cfd82e/time-start/00:00:00/playlist-height/200/direction/backward/download/yes/font-color/000000" style="border: none;" title="Embed Player" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="100%"></iframe><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">It’s officially the Christmas season!

As he’s executed, he wakes up in a strange facility in Madrid. Sofia (Marion Cotillard) explains that they need to hook him up to a giant GLaDOS-like mechanical arm so he can tap into the genetic memory of his ancestors, steal the Apple of Eden, which contains the genetic code for free will, and this will somehow solve violence. Makes sense to me!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Cal is apparently a descendant of a line of assassins who have been fighting the Knights Templar for generations, mostly for this Apple but for other stuff too. He meets other assassin descendants, who basically have nothing else to do but hang around this facility for a while. There is also the icy Rikkin (Jeremy Irons), the Gendo of this organization and father of Sofia, as well as Cal’s father (Brendan Gleeson) who he thinks killed his mother.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Can Cal, under his cool ancestor assassin name of Aguilar, recover the Apple and save the world or something? Or is this creepy shadowy organization using sense memory VR to force you to do cool flips in 15th century Spain not all it’s cracked up to be? You’ll have to listen to find out!

It’s the David DeCoteau Punisher-lite tale <i>Prey of the Jaguar</i> (1996) starring Maxwell Caulfield, Stacy Keach, and Linda Blair.</p><p>Damien Bandera (Trevor Goddard, a.k.a. Kano in the original <i>Mortal Kombat</i> movie) is a drug kingpin who’s just been busted out of prison by his compatriots. Or is his name Banderas? He’s referred to as both in this movie.</p><p>Derek Leigh (Caulfield) is a regular 90s dad with a mustache who, for a 96 minute movie, spends a LOT of time in the first act with his loving pregnant wife and precocious son for them to not be fridged. His son Jeremy (Devon Michael) shows his dad the completely novel superhero he’s invented that has no ties to any existing intellectual property: The Jaguar!</p><p>Derek is visited by The Commander (Stacy Keach), his former boss at a secret espionage organization sporting a turtleneck, ponytail, and George H.W. Bush glasses. The Commander warns him that Bandera/Banderas, the guy he put away in an undercover operation, is out. Derek acknowledges his family may be in danger, and then goes to work. Bandera/s shows up where he works, shoots him, and throws him off a building. And mentions that he killed his entire family.</p><p>Three hours later, after he’s processed all of his grief, Derek decides to kit himself out and become a super karate vigilante named the Jaguar, fashioned after his son’s superhero. Will he fulfill his revenge? Was the Commander REALLY killed off screen in that car crash? Will there be a talking cat?!

They immediately begin providing ample dysfunctional fuel to feed the demon in his possession plans. The father is a physically abusive maniac, the oldest siblings have a weirdly close relationship, and the mom is fed up with it all.</p><p>The demon makes quick work of possessing Sonny and enacts its plan to murder the entire family.

Frank Baum novels that no one has read in the last 100 years. It's Disney's reimagined 1985 sequel <i><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089908/reference/">Return to Oz</a></i>!</p><p>In an effort to reinvigorate its flailing film releases, Disney bought the rights to the Wizard of Oz book series with the intention of revitalizing the franchise. One small issue though: the books are very dissimilar to MGM’s beloved <i>The Wizard of Oz</i> from 1939. No worries, the bones are still there: the Scarecrow, the Cowardly Lion, the Tin Woodsman. Oh, they’re barely in the sequels? Who are these guys? Gump? Jack Pumpkinhead? Tik-Tok? Also where are the ruby slippers? They’re silver? We have to pay MGM royalties to use the ruby ones? Oh dear.</p><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/14EEGw_sdDQ?si=zo6AZRR_wFKI_5fu" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></div><p>Dorothy (Fairuza Balk) won’t shut up to Aunt Em (Piper Laurie) about this magical land of Oz where she murdered two witches and saved the Emerald City and all its diminutive residents. So naturally Aunt Em sends her off to a quack psychoanalyst who plans to electroshock this 10-year-old until she stops using her imagination.</p><p>She escapes the sanitarium and returns to Oz, teaming up with a talking chicken Billina (Denise Bryer), a robotic soldier Tik-Tok (Sean Barrett), Jack Pumpkinhead (Brian Henson) who is, let’s face it, just the Scarecrow, and Gump (Stephen Norrington) a talking moose head strapped to a flying couch.</p><p>Dorothy is determined to save the Scarecrow from the evil Nome King, and must solve a series of puzzles and challenges that were probably more interesting when they were in a children’s book.

In keeping with tradition, we reviewed Neil Breen's newest film <i><a href="https://cade-crossing.com/">Cade: The Tortured Crossing</a></i>, an actual sequel to <i><a href="https://www.yourstupidminds.com/2019/03/podcast-twisted-pair-2018.html">Twisted Pair</a></i> that acts more like a spiritual sequel to <i>Twisted Pair</i>. Joining us is friend of me, the show, and bad movies in general Austin Buchan, who knew absolutely nothing about the movie or Neil Breen before watching it.<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/cAWBMgX9Oos?si=MTFspBiDkdyCfKB6" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></div><p>According to the Alamo Drafthouse website (and, more likely, the press packet that Neil sent to the Alamo Drafthouse) <i>Cade: The Tortured Crossing</i> is about: "An identical AI twin brother restores an old mysterious mental asylum. He takes it upon himself to mystically train the patients as warriors for humanity and justice." Abstractly, that is a correct description of about 5% of the film, but adding additional information, or editorializing about the content, would not adequately prepare you for seeing this on the silver screen.</p><p>In a way, this is Neil's most ambitious film, combining his love of stock footage and indifference toward directing actors, he has chosen to eschew actual sets entirely, and composite greenscreened every single character into a dream-like void of proportionally disorienting stock photos and footage, even when using a real set (like a repeated scene of a man plopping into a dingy bed) would have been cheaper and more realistic.</p><p>If you haven't seen <i>Twisted Pair</i>, you will not be at a disservice, as basically nothing carries over into <i>Cade</i> except that there are two identical twin brothers, both played by Breen, and they have mystical computer powers. If you’ve never seen a Breen (such as our guest Austin) it's probably the second most baffling experience you can have being introduced to him (aside from <i>Pair</i>, which is probably his most impenetrable and least audience friendly).</p><p>So come with us on this journey, and we'll tell of our theater experiences seeing Neil Breen's newest masterpiece.</p></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4099941524071948470.post-88445369387201279342023-08-25T09:04:00.005-05:002023-08-25T09:06:01.869-05:00Podcast: The Meg (2018)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4Snm6Qj-PaGkbd0iHb3gAPAXh3zKgG85TzLhr0yuWH5eTgA53Vr9hiOyA7TTbU6CNexJtWAsQMTpWw0Lw3RVj0jTAo5qMaj3DeeywCboSFeVoXdAOX62s75M8kL208hwMmDub6V6pKo9F0NoXAqdrjWDw1KKw5aqZiRTtsKs5eLehs7vYwngDhhdcEgXd/s2240/TheMeg.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1260" data-original-width="2240" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4Snm6Qj-PaGkbd0iHb3gAPAXh3zKgG85TzLhr0yuWH5eTgA53Vr9hiOyA7TTbU6CNexJtWAsQMTpWw0Lw3RVj0jTAo5qMaj3DeeywCboSFeVoXdAOX62s75M8kL208hwMmDub6V6pKo9F0NoXAqdrjWDw1KKw5aqZiRTtsKs5eLehs7vYwngDhhdcEgXd/w640-h360/TheMeg.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><iframe allowfullscreen="" height="64" mozallowfullscreen="true" msallowfullscreen="true" oallowfullscreen="true" scrolling="no" src="https://play.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/27849225/height/64/theme/modern/size/small/thumbnail/no/custom-color/cfd82e/time-start/00:00:00/playlist-height/200/direction/backward/download/yes" style="border: none;" title="Embed Player" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="100%"></iframe><br /><p></p><p>In honor of <i>Meg 2: The Trench</i> bombing at the box office, we decided to take a look back at its more financially successful predecessor, 2018’s <i><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4779682/reference/">The Meg</a></i>!

He travels to Costa Rica’s Cerro de la Muerte to capture a tube full of vampire bats in the hopes he can study them and reverse his bad blood disease.</p><p>The cure works, but as a result he turns into a cool vampire. His childhood friend Milo (Matt Smith) finds out he’s a cool vampire and wants to be a cool vampire too and he steals the vampire goo and turns into a cool bad vampire. They have a vampire fight and one of them wins (guess which one). Michael Keaton shows up at the end for some reason.</p><p><a href="https://www.comicpalooza.com/">Comicpalooza</a> Update: <a href="https://www.eventeny.com/events/comicpalooza2023-4065/?action=schedule-item&action_ops[item_id]=27105">We're on the schedule</a>!

Though the mission is successful, Jean Grey (Sophie Turner) is blasted with an evil space cloud that starts to make her act cool. However, the coolness goes too far when she can’t control her new power. She tries to learn more about her past, and comes across Magneto’s (Michael Fassbender) mutant island sanctuary of Genosha (though in this movie it looks like a small plot of land in western Connecticut).</p><p>Meanwhile, Vuk (Jessica Chastain), a shapeshifting alien of the D’Bari race, is looking for Jean so she can... take the power, harness the power, trick Jean into helping her? It isn’t entire clear. But she’s evil.</p><p>Can the X-Men save Jean, or will this conflict tear them apart? Will Disney reboot the franchise after their Fox acquisition? How many times can we predict the second part of every line in this movie? How much was Hans Zimmer paid for this killer score? You’ll have to listen to find out (though we don’t answer most of these questions).</p><p>Also a quick update: Your Stupid Minds will be at this year’s <a href="https://www.comicpalooza.com/">Comicpalooza</a> in Houston, Texas, to discuss Halle Berry’s <i><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0327554/">Catwoman</a></i> LIVE!
