When I ran a music store, juggalos frequently offered to make me a mix tape when I'd say I wasn't a fan, and none of them ever followed through.
Despite the absolutely brilliant movie poster, the juggalo aspect is a fairly small part of the plot. It is more Bad Teacher meets McLovin's part of Role Models, with a juggalo filter applied. Frequently laugh-out-loud funny and unexpectedly sweet. Whoop whoop!*
* Whoop whoop is the call of the juggalo. I'm not one but throwing it out there in support of the film.

Holland Taylor's character's name is Stormy, and MY name is Stormy.
It starts with an homage to the opening of Adventures in Babysitting, one of the most iconic opening scenes of all.
I haven't watched the third yet but this would have been more effective as a TV series. Still cute though.
Favorite (Not Necessarily Best) Four From Every Year Since Birth
This came out 15 years too late, but being in the wrong decade allowed it to star John Cena so I guess it all worked out in the end. It has enough laugh out loud moments to warrant a watch, but there are some gags that should have been edited out. The ending is a bit lackluster, and Zac Efron doesn't get any of the good comedic material.
The leading couple is in London, fleeing and fighting some bad guys, and they go into a tunnel. When they exit the tunnel, STILL fleeing and fighting the bad guys, the screen says "Pakistan". They are in Pakistan now. So either...
1) There's a tunnel from London to Pakistan
2) They exited the tunnel in London, hopped on a plane, landed in Pakistan, entered another tunnel and resumed fighting the same people
3) This action rom-com has a sci-fi element that is never referenced again where you can go in this tunnel and be transported to PakistanThis happens maybe a half hour into the movie and I never got over it.
This truly has it all. Action, drama, love, loss, and the addition of Steve Zahn brings some comedy. I laughed, I cried.
Obsessed with Maurice and Nova and Bad Ape.
I can't believe I went to the theater to see this and <A HREF="http://letterboxd.com/carignano">Mauro</A> didn't.
I was hoping this would be about a cult that worships Chucky. It's not. It's a cult of Chuckies.
Pretty much what I expect. Murders and one-liners. Bonus for Jennifer Tilly.
Frozen Empire is about as funny as Afterlife, mostly split between Paul Rudd and Kumail Nanjiani. A few parts of the plot are pretty cheesy, including a lot of Phoebe's scenes. Mckenna Grace is super talented and just doesn't get the best material here.
I wish Carrie Coon and Finn Wolfhard had bigger roles.
This is as good as everyone says, and based on my post-watch Googling seems to be very historically accurate.
I regret not splitting it into a few smaller pieces, because the runtime weighed on me a few times. It's never boring; it's just that many hours in the dark makes a gal sleepy.
AKA “7 Doors of Hell”, AKA “The Beyond”, AKA bat-shit crazy! Well, we are talking about Lucio Fulci, so maybe that goes without saying.
Watched a great print from Grindhouse Releasing. All the fake blood spurts and geysers in the full gory glory.
I truly can't tell if Wonka is supposed to be a scrappy teenage or an adult.
That aside, this has its charms. The cast, sets, costumes, the colors, and the vibe are delightful. The plot was pretty wild. Wonka milks a giraffe. There's a Cartel. It doesn't hold a candle to the original, but I certainly didn't expect it to. I do like when he sings Pure Imagination and we see the factory though.
Red State feels like the third episode in a four part miniseries. We miss the first two episodes where you introduce the characters: one for the church, one for the high schoolers and law enforcement. There's no fourth episode either to wrap it up.
I thought it was fine but without those missing parts, I didn't know any character's name. I don't care about any of them. The deaths are abrupt, and the ending is so sudden that I thought Tubi had glitched.
