BMFcast494 – The Minion – Ma’am This is a Wendigo’s
The Minion (1998) is End of Days a year before End of Days came out. Dolph Lundgren is a Templar who must stop Satan from getting the key to the bottomless pit and such. It’s very dull and makes End of Days look great.
The second half is another opinion explosion as we continue to cram for the Golden Jox awards. After more thoughts on The Rise of Skywalker (and Star Wars in general), we talk Dark Phoenix, 6 Underground, Shaft (2019), The Laundromat, Rim of the World, See You Yesterday, various Christmas movies, The Kid Who Would Be King, Crawl, Zombieland: Double Tap, and It: Chapters One and Two. Enjoy!

Silent Night Deadly Night Part 2 (1987) starts with 45 MINUTES OF FLASHBACKS to the first film. That’s not a joke. Then the short film sequel begins as the killer’s brother is now the killer and also a horrible actor. Drink every time he wiggles his eyebrows and chug every time he says “Naughty!”.

Lock Up (1989) is one of several “dudes in prison” movies from around this time, and while it’s not the full speed Sylvester Stallone action movie we’re used to, it’s still worth a look. Also, Danny Trejo is here.
