Thinking Outside The Long Box Juan and Gabe

It's time to go to 2013 with a young Charlie Hunnam, and a Guillermo Del Toro who said that he laid everything out in this film, and it was just him having fun! It's pop culture classic time, speaking about Pacific Rim! Pacific Rim, while not being the "first" American made kaiju film, was probably the first blockbuster American kaiju film that took the genre more serious, and paid a lot more tribute than others in the past.



"Long ago, legions of monstrous creatures called Kaiju arose from the sea, bringing with them all-consuming war. To fight the Kaiju, mankind developed giant robots called Jaegers, designed to be piloted by two humans locked together in a neural bridge. However, even the Jaegers are not enough to defeat the Kaiju, and humanity is on the verge of defeat. Mankind's last hope now lies with a washed-up ex-pilot, an untested trainee and an old, obsolete Jaeger."





I think, like most of the pop culture films that we revisit, while it may not be the greatest movie, it definitely deserves its respect, and a high place in kaiju history! If you're a kaiju fan, and somehow haven't taken a look back, you're doing yourself a disservice. Go watch it, and if nothing else, you'll get to see big robots, and cool monsters!

Today's episode was a suggestion from Doyle. When I first heard him talk about it, I took it much to literal, and thought I'd be watching something about Usher, the singer. Instead, I got something WAY better. We are talking about the Netflix series, The Fall of the House of Usher! 



"Siblings Roderick and Madeline Usher have built a pharmaceutical company into an empire of wealth, privilege and power; however, secrets come to light when the heirs to the Usher dynasty start dying."



This mini series is adapted from an Edgar Allen Poe novel, and it is SO good! There is a lot to the story, some creepy twists and turns, as well as some to e where you will have to hold back tears. If you have nit watched this yet, you definitely need to take the time to binge it!

Are you ready for another round of Pet Sematary? Stephen King films have been very hit and miss, and this project is probably no different. You're either going to love it, or you're going to hate it, I don't think there is an in between.



"In 1969, a young Jud Crandall dreams of leaving his hometown of Ludlow, Maine behind, but soon discovers sinister secrets buried within. Jud is forced to confront a dark family history that will forever keep him connected to Ludlow."



One of us was half a fan, and the other didn't really seem to like it all that much. It has some really cool scenes, but also some things that don't make much sense. As always, you should definitely go watch it in order to decide for yourself. With most of these Stephen King projects, it's pretty polarizing. It might be time to give these films to established creators, so that we know they're in good hands.

It's pop culture classic time everyone!! In the last episode we spoke about where Saw was, and where it might be going, and now it's time to talk about where it came from! We're talking about the original Saw from 2004, and the place in horror history that it has left on the populous!



"The film tells a nonlinear narrative revolving around the mystery of the Jigsaw Killer, who tests his victims' will to live by putting them through deadly "games" where they must inflict great physical pain upon themselves to survive."



That twist at the end was something that hadn't been seen, and might be one of the best endings to a horror movie to date. You might not like the sequels that have spawned, but the original is great!

It's been a while since a new Saw movie came out, and even longer since one came out that was pretty well received and had Jigsaw as the primary character. This is a prequel in which we found out a lot about how Jigsaw became Jigsaw, and the motivations behind why. We are talking about Saw X!



"Hoping for a miraculous cure, John Kramer travels to Mexico for a risky and experimental medical procedure, only to discover the entire operation is a scam to defraud the most vulnerable. Armed with a newfound purpose, the infamous serial killer uses deranged and ingenious traps to turn the tables on the con artists."



If you're a horror fan and have maybe jumped off the Saw bandwagon, I think you should definitely consider watching this entry in the series. It won't disappoint and it may actually reinvigorate.

Listen, we enjoy The Boys as much as probably the average viewer. We don't hate it, but we also don't fawn all over it. Sometimes it can be way over the top, even for us, and that says a lot. BUT we had to watch the spin-off just in case this was more our cup of tea. We sat down in order to watch Gen V.



"Gen V is an American superhero television series, developed by Craig Rosenberg, Evan Goldberg, and Eric Kripke, serving as a spin-off of The Boys by Kripke, and based on The Boys comic book story arc "We Gotta Go Now" by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson. The series stars Jaz Sinclair, Chance Perdomo, Lizze Broadway, Maddie Phillips, London Thor, Derek Luh, Asa Germann, and Shelley Conn in main roles."



It is interesting and different enough for the spin-off, but if you're looking for something at least a little toned down, this still isn't it. But, if you're looking for the hard hitting, way over the top show, then this is a must watch!
