MARTIN SCORSESE

Working on my next review for a Scorsese film that I consider weaker than his most famous films. What Scorsese film do you consider the most underrated? 

Movie Suggestions

Ya'll....I'm not gonna lie, after watching Space Jam I just wanna watch something I really enjoy. XD What movies do you consider your comfort movies, or movies you really enjoy no matter what? Not a topic question. Just wanting some ideas. Thanks! 

Next Review

I'm not looking forward to it but....I'm gonna check out Space Jam 2 tomorrow. What are your opinions on the original if you've seen it. If you are part of my generation...it likely impacted your childhood tremendously. But...really only as a nostalgic zeitgeist type of pop entertainment.  2021-07-15 22:43:17 +0000 UTC View Post

Spicy Chicken Sandwich Final Rankings

I told you guys I was trying the same spicy chicken sandwich taste test that the rest of the internet has already done. Tried multiple spicy chicken sandwiches. Here's how I rank them:

1. Popeyes
2. Chick-fil-a
3. KFC
4. Golden Chick
5. Burger King
6. McDonalds

Agree or...

THE CONVERSATION (1974)

Truly one of the more underrated films, not only for Francis Ford Coppola, but just of 1970s American cinema. One of my favorite movies. The final shot of the film for me is one of the most haunting. As I watched it this last time, I realized that the headspace that Harry finds himself in at the ...

Topic Question

I'm taking any hot takes you might have on the subject of movies/tv so we can discuss them on my next vid! 

INDEPENDENCE DAY

I caught maybe the last hour of it on July 4th, as one does. Perhaps this is an unpopular opinion, but this time around I found Will Smith to be really annoying and trying way too hard to be charismatic. When I was younger he was always the stand-out. But I dunno...re-watching it this last time, ...

Letterboxd

A promise is a promise ya'll. I said that once I meet my goal of 80 patrons that I would get a Letterboxd account. Unfortunately someone has already made a fake one using my name. Though the majority of the actual movie ratings are very inaccurate, I gotta hand it to whoever this person is. They ...

Alright. Let's finally have....the discussion.

Okay fellow Sopranos fans. It's time to discuss the trailer for the prequel that was released earlier today. What are your initial thoughts?

Confession

I saw Austin Powers for the first time ever the other day and I laughed my ass off. XD I was not exposed to a lot of these kinds of movies as a child. So my friend try to "culture me" as an adult. 

Upcoming Review

Okay, I told you that next week I'll be doing a Grease review, to "clear the air" so to speak for myself and my hang ups with that film. But I just realized how deeply fucked up it is that in contrast to that one, I'm gonna do a review for Haneke's Funny Games the following week. XD Was not an in...

Next Review

I know no one cares. This will be more a review for myself. But...I had to do it. I had to review a film that I have despised and been confused by since the moment I saw it at age 10. I am of course, referring to the iconic musical, Grease (1978). ><

Bo Burnham: Inside

I finally watched it the other night, to see what all the fuss is about. I admire it in many ways, yet at the same time, I felt conflicted in terms of reaction. Have you guys seen it? What are your thoughts?

Let's reverse it! Name a great acting performance in an otherwise bad movie and why. This one should be easier. XD

Spicy Chicken Sandwich Journey

Okay, I can't remember how much I have told you guys about my quest to find the best fast food spicy chicken sandwich, but it's been a thing I've chipped away at with a friend overtime. I know every content creator and their mother is doing the same thing, but it's actually quite a fun experiment...

Happy Monday

This might be one of the funniest thing Quentin has ever done. Enjoy.

Norm MacDonald

On occasion, I find myself falling asleep at night to Norm MacDonald. I honestly think he rivals Stewart Lee for the title of greatest comedian alive. He can make literally anything funny, in ways no one else can. It's his delivery, the way he subverts the structure of a joke. Even when the punch...

Cowboy Bebop for Netflix

Any fans of the original series out there? I'd be shocked if not. As many know, it's one of my favorite tv shows of all time. I've been very annoyed and skeptical of any live action versions in talks for the last 10 years. No way anyone could capture the aesthetic, the mood, the detail, the lonel...

WINGS OF DESIRE

There are a lot of cult art films that rise in popularity with millennial hipsters and such. Always the novelty of an old film is part of the appeal. But I don't really see a lot of discussion around Wings of Desire (1987) as of late. For instance, I semi-frequently get review requests for Paris,...

Fellini and LSD

Found this gem of a clip of Fellini talking about his experience with LSD. Of course, his films grew more and more visually psychedelic and abstract as they went. If you haven't checked this interview out, enjoy!
