A podcast from two cousins who grew up watching movies together. We watch new movies, re-watch classics from earlier times in our life, and cover movies/franchises that others may have seen that we have never watched. The question we ask at the end of the epsidoe is Do We like this Movie?

This week we are diving into Kevin Smith's incredibly hard to procure 1999 film, Dogma. This movie follows a woman who has become disillusioned with her religion, and is selected to help save existence from being destroyed by mischievous angels. This film features an all star 90s lineup that includes Jay and Silent Bob, Chris Rock, Selma Hayek, Ben Affleck, and Matt Damon.

Remember how the first movie in this series was successful because it adapted much of the cool stuff you liked from the Video game? Well that's all gone now. Get ready to "Batman & Robin" up Mortal Kombat and send this franchise into hiding for 2 decades.
This week's movie competes with The Room and New Years Evil for worst film in the history of this show. Enjoy!

Our Karate Kid series comes to an end with us discussing (MEGA SPOILERS) the first 3 season of the sequel series.
We follow the story of Johnny Lawrence, who was once the big guy on campus in High School, and ended up falling on hard times due in part to his alcoholism and also his loss to Daniel LaRusso in the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament. Johnny finds renewed purpose to help a bunch of social misfits defend themselves by bringing back Cobra Kai Karate thanks to the help of his neighbor Miguel Diaz. This causes many misunderstandings between Johnny, Daniel, and their kids. Having gone through all the movies that preceded it we describe our experience with this show and break down the storylines, characters, and seasons that we like.

This week we review The 2010 remake to The Karate(?) Kid. In this re-telling of the 1986 film, we follow Dre (Jaden Smith), a kid who is moving from Detroit with his mother to China. He is constantly bullied by the local kids, and with the help of his building's maintenance man/ Kung Foo teacher, Mr. Han (Jackie Chan), he trains to fight them at a local tournament so that they may leave him alone. It's shocking how much of a REMAKE this movie is, but does it stack up to the original?

A sequel so obscure that unless you watched it every week on the Disney Channel in the early 00s like Angel, you wouldn't even know it existed. Pat Morita's swan song in the Karate Kid franchise has him traveling to Boston, to visit the wife of his commander General from the 442nd.
While there he is introduced to her granddaughter Julie Pierce (played by a very young Hillary Swank). Julie is having a hard time dealing with the grief of losing her parents, and is starting to find herself in trouble at school. Mr. Miyagi takes her as his new ward to whom he teaches Karate to in hopes that it will both teach her discipline, and help keep her out of trouble with her school's Jr. ROTC group, the Alpha Elites.
