Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss The Crow: Wicked Prayer. A crow revives a murdered man to get revenge on the Satanists that killed him. 

Based on the tie-in novel by Norman Partridge, The Crow: Wicked Prayer to its credit tries to shake things up a bit. It takes about half its running time before killing off the main character and turning him into The Crow. A southwest trailer park setting is different than the smoky cities of the prior films. The campy lead bad guys are amusing as played by David Boreanaz and Tara Reid. Edward Furlong underplays and is given such a tacky makeup job that he never looks as imposing as his character is meant to be. Look for Dennis Hopper in a fun role near the end of the film.

Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and Thrasher discuss Clerks II. Desperate for work, Dante and Randall start to flip burgers for Mooby's and wonder what went wrong with their lives.  

Kevin Smith returns to his roots with Clerks II. Featuring a mixture of crude humor and soap opera confessions, Clerks II has Smith on surer footing than the reviled Jersey Girl. Rosario Dawson brings a lot to the cast as the romantic interest. Things meander a bit towards the ending, but the ending is sentimental in a way that works. Colors are saturated to an almost cartoonish level here that matches the goofier animal themed fast food setting.

Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and Thrasher discuss Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.  

A celebration of Kevin Smith's ahead of its time rabid online fanbase, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back takes its inspiration from The Muppet Movie. A road flick about the toking twosome driving from New Jersey to California to stop a Hollywood movie of Bluntman & Chronic from being made, this masturbatory movie wears out its welcome a little bit. Featuring notable cameos from Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Will Ferrell, and Chris Rock, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back feels like the end of an era of writer-director-star's Kevin Smith's career... except it isn't.

Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss movies we're watching during quarantine. 

With movie theaters closed across the United States, your faithful hosts have been watching more streaming content than usual. They go from the normal to the bizarre and back again. Think of it as a super extended "Watcha Watchin'?" segment. 

Enjoy!

Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss The Crow: Salvation. After Alex Corvis (Eric Mabius) gets the electric chair for a crime he didn't commit, he tracks down and murders those actually responsible. 

Loosely based on the tie-in novel The Crow: The Lazarus Heart by Poppy Z. Brite, The Crow: Salvation mixes up the formula a bit with its crooked cops angle. Eric Mabius is a bit bland as this movie's Crow, but Kirsten Dunst brings it as Erin Randall, the sister of the murdered girlfriend. Perhaps the darkest of the series, this is a slight improvement over The Crow: City of Angels.

Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss the career of the late Sean Connery. 

After a three-year stint in the Royal Navy, Connery placed third in the 1950 Mr. Universe contest. After making friends with Michael Caine, he took a greater interest in acting. Aside from playing the first James Bond on the silver screen, his notable films include Hunt for the Red October, The Man Who Would Be King, The Name of the Rose, and The Untouchables, to name a few. His final role was a voiceover part for Sir Billi, the first CG animated feature to come out of Scotland.

Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss The Crow: City of Angels. Ashe Corven (Vincent Pérez) rises from the dead courtesy of a crow to take vengeance upon the gang that killed him.

One of many direct-to-video sequels that are basically loose remake of the original The Crow, The Crow: City of Angels works as well as a bad photocopy. Again, the bad guys are rather interesting with Richard Brooks, Thuy Trang, Iggy Pop, Thomas Jane, and Vincent Castellanos bringing some flair to their cardboard roles. Everything is covered in a smoky haze that's never as evocative as Alex Proyas' work in the original. Uninspired at best.

Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and Thrasher discuss Dogma. Fallen angels Bartleby (Ben Affleck) and Loki (Matt Damon) start an apocalypse. 

Originally promised in the credits of Clerks as Kevin Smith's next film, Dogma is a comedy that digs deep into Biblical lore. One of Smith's higher grossing films, Dogma's killer cast and thoughtful story combines the holy and the profane into a fun mix. The more you know about the Bible, the funnier this is. Judge Not...In Defense of DOGMA, a feature-length documentary filmed for the original DVD release, was delayed for several years because it was considered too offensive; it later appeared as a bonus feature on Vulgar, an indie feature produced by Smith.

Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss The Crow. After a man and his girlfriend are murdered, the man comes back to life to get revenge. 

Based on the indie comic by James O'Barr, The Crow combined moody goth visuals with a simple revenge story into one slick feature. Director Alex Proyas uses aggressive editing, brief flashbacks, and a good sense of pacing to drive the movie along. It's a shame Brandon Lee died onset in a horrible accident. This movie would have catapulted his career to the next level!
