BMFcast Extra 143 – Faster
Faster (2010) is the film The Rock made that broke him out of the Disney trap and set him down the path towards Fast Five. It’s a grim tale of revenge and murder that’s worth a look, but won’t come away from it feeling good.

BMFcast Extra 141 – Hercules
Hercules (2014) is The Rock’s version of Hercules and he’s a great Hercules. Problem is that the movie doesn’t want him to be Hercules. It wants to tell the story of a man who is being hyped up as being the son of Zeus but is actually just a dude. But he is the son of Zeus. It’s so strange. However, The Rock kicks all kinds of candy asses in this, and the action scenes are a blast.

BMFcast485 – Karate Rock – Can’t Stop the Rock
Karate Rock (1990) is a movie devoid of, well… everything. There’s not one single thing about this Italian Karate Kid knockoff that anyone could say is “good”. But is it entertaining? Half the usual crew is on hand to answer that burning question.
In the second half Chuck has an exclusive “not on 31 Days of Horror” review for Annabelle Comes Home (2019) while Harlo preps for Joker (2019) by watching The King of Comedy (1983) for the first time. Then some chat about Scorsese’s comments about comic book movies not being “cinema”. Enjoy!

Journey 2: The Mysterious Island (2012) is an unnecessary but superior sequel to the Brendan Fraser original, except he’s gone and has been replaced with The Rock. Also, Michael Caine, Luis Guzman and Vanessa Hudgens join the returning Josh Hutcherson. That’s right, it’s ROCKTOBER time!
In the second half we’ve got hot takes on Between Two Ferns: The Movie, Across the Universe and Breaking Bad. Also, it’s spooky season with Chuck on YouTube as 31 Days of Horror enters its 12th season!
