  4. International Feature: The Raid 2

    International Feature: The Raid 2

    For our second Patreon Month recommendation, we’re taking a look at a heavy hitter in the action genre, courtesy of Wait Watcher Kory T. from the World is My Burrito Podcast. This time, we dive into The Raid 2, a film that’s often brought up in conversations about the greatest action movies ever made. Its influence can be felt across modern action cinema, from the slick choreography of John Wick and its sequels to films like Atomic Blonde, Extraction, and even Nobody. But does it live up to that reputation for us? We break down where it excels—and where it might lose us.  Phil’s reaction to the film’s intense violence, especially its graphic depiction of injuries like broken and exposed bones, and a heads-up for listeners who might find that level of brutality hard to watch  The film’s lasting pop culture impact, with its influence stretching beyond movies into gaming and anime, and why it still gets brought up in action conversations today  Whether the story tries to do too much, layering in complex plotlines that may not be compelling enough to justify how difficult they can be to follow  The two-and-a-half-hour runtime, which is a significant jump from The Raid, and whether that added length helps or hurts the overall experience  The camera work, including heavy use of shaky cam that at times feels overdone and distracting rather than immersive  Standout action sequences, especially the iconic kitchen fight and the memorable showdown with “Bat Man” and “Hammer Girl,” which highlight the film at its absolute best Tune in as we unpack one of the most talked-about action films of the last decade and decide where it lands for us. Letterbox'd Synopsis: After fighting his way through an apartment building populated by an army of dangerous criminals and escaping with his life, SWAT team member Rama goes undercover, joining a powerful Indonesian crime syndicate to protect his family and uncover corrupt members of his own force. 🔻You can find all important links for the podcast over at https://linktr.ee/waitforitpodcast🔺 🔻BACKGROUND MUSIC PROVIDED BY: Ocean by KV https://soundcloud.com/kvmusicprod  Free Download / Stream: http://bit.ly/2OCvpHU Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/a8ctDtA7OK8 — Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported  — CC BY 3.0 🔺  Enjoyed the episode?

  5. Late To The Party - Stardust

    Apr 15

    Late To The Party - Stardust

    We’re kicking off Patreon Month with Late To The Party, diving into a listener recommendation from Wait Watcher, Vintage! This time, we check out Stardust—a fantasy adventure that somehow slipped past us for years. With its mix of romance, magic, and adventure, we went in curious to see if this was a hidden gem or just a product of its time. As it turns out… it’s a bit of both.  The stacked cast, including Charlie Cox, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Robert De Niro, and how their performances bring a ton of personality and elevate the material  How the movie captures that early 2000s fantasy/sci-fi vibe—ambitious, a little uneven, but still a fun ride overall  The humor, which ends up being a pleasant surprise, with several performances leaning into comedy in ways that really work  The visuals, which can be hit or miss—some moments still look great, while others definitely show their age  A love story and overall plot that feel underdeveloped, especially in the slower first half, but a second half that picks up and delivers a much more entertaining experience Tune in as we break down whether Stardust is worth discovering now or if it’s better left as a nostalgic piece of its era. Synopsis: In a countryside town bordering on a magical land, a young man makes a promise to his beloved that he’ll retrieve a fallen star by venturing into the magical realm. His journey takes him into a world beyond his wildest dreams and reveals his true identity. 🔻You can find all important links for the podcast over at https://linktr.ee/waitforitpodcast 🔺 🔻BACKGROUND MUSIC PROVIDED BY: "Extenz - Gravity" is under a Creative Commons license Music promoted by BreakingCopyright: https://bit.ly/extenz-gravity 🔺 Enjoyed the episode?
