Shut Up And Watch The Movie! | Movie And TV Commentary Podcast The Hotshot Whiz Kids

This time the guys tackle Mediums. You know, those people who claim to have special powers that allow them to communicate with the dead. The guys try to figure out how scientifically speaking that could work and then as is the tradition, tear it all down.

This time the guys questioned their own intelligence and wondered if that’s a sign of being smart or dumb. Later they talk about not getting sick and wonder why rich people go to college. Plus things get romantic during Pop Clips!

Mark takes pride in not knowing about sports and music (he refutes this claim), so what better way for him to prove he knows absolutely nothing about sports and music than to take a super quiz.

This time we watch a classic B-movie from 1987 called Miami Connection. The film is the tale of a Synth pop band who happens to have some incredible martial art abilities, which comes in handy throughout the movie as they are attacked by various other bands, street thugs and ninjas. Yes, I said ninjas. The acting in this film is horrible. The actors put little to no effort into their acting and many of the seem pretty unsure about their lines, like they just grabbed a few random dudes off the streets and stuck them in the movie. The band’s main man is Mark, played by the films producer and writer Y.K. Kim, a Korean immigrant, who evidently sometimes misses his family, who has a black belt in tae kwon do, which we learn from the multiple thugs mentioning this as they run away from Mark and the rest of his band with their tails between their legs. This fact is confirmed by the fact that Mark and his band mates have the word ” Tae Kwon Do” embroidered on the back of their gi.

The movie has all of the classic B-movie elements, bad acting, bad dialogue, bad soundtrack, gore,  random breasts and a plot where the motives of the characters are questionable at best.  This movie is short and sweet and is totally worth your time and Netflix superscription. The movie which was originally panned as one of the worst movies ever was re-released in 2010 to become the cult classic it is considered today.  To listen to our commentary podcast just cue up your Netflix and wait for us to tell you to hit play!

 

This week we are back in the world of 80’s TV and watch the series finale of what was one of our favorite shows when we were kids, Knight Rider. Looking back now, it seems we had horrible taste in television, but that car was and is so cool. As was the case with Murder She Wrote, which we did a commentary for a few weeks ago, the finale was pretty much just a normal episode. The producers and actors knew that the show had a declining audience and the end was near so they wrote an episode titled The Scent Of Roses where Michael’s fiancé was killed, that was supposed to be a finale but instead the network put that episode in the middle of the season and ended the series with the episode we watch, called Voo Doo Knight. So, get you Netflix of DVD ready and listen to our commentary of the series finale of the 1980’s hit Knight Rider.

Season 4 Episode 22: Voo Doo Knight
