Welcome to Movie Mandates, a review show in which sibling cinephiles Andrew and Keleigh force each other to watch movies according to a monthly theme! We're wrapping up TV Movies month with Keleigh's mandated movie, Duel, the feature film debut of Steven Spielberg, which aired on ABC back in 1971, about a man terrorized by a semi-truck on the lonely highways of the California desert. Is there a man of flesh and blood driving the truck or is it a ghost truck, forever cursed to roam the Antelope Valley Freeway to sate its unquenchable thirst for blood? It's just a dude but he's not really important so if you like "ghost truck" better, let's go with that! 0:00 - Trivial Trivia 14:36 - Duel review 1:02:35 - Next episode's mandated movie We'll be back in two weeks with another mandated movie.

Welcome to Movie Mandates, a review show in which sibling cinephiles Andrew and Keleigh force each other to watch movies according to a monthly theme! This month, we're indulging in TV Movies and I've mandated BRIAN'S SONG, a docudrama that aired on ABC in the early 70s and, according to our father, is the only film to ever turn him into a sobbing mess. Were we similarly moved by the friendship between Chicago Bears teammates Brian Piccolo and Gale Sayers? One thing's for certain. If Brian doesn't have a song in BRIAN'S SONG, we're going to be very disappointed. 0:00 - Trivial Trivia 22:12 - Brian's Song review 59:58 - Next episode's mandated movie We'll be back in two weeks with another mandated movie.

Welcome to Movie Mandates, a review show in which sibling cinephiles Andrew and Keleigh force each other to watch movies according to a monthly theme! Parody month concludes with Keleigh's mandated movie: DON'T BE A MENACE TO SOUTH CENTRAL WHILE DRINKING YOUR JUICE IN THE HOOD. Now, I know what you're thinking. It was called "Menace II Society" so shouldn't the title be "Don't Be a Menace II South Central While Drinking Your Juice In the Hood"? Yes but I think we can cut the Wayans Bros. some slack for this oversite due to the restraint they showed with their film's title by name dropping "Higher Learning," "Poetic Justice," and "Jungle Fever" in the film's tagline rather than jamming them in the title as well. 0:00 - Trivial Trivia 21:02 - Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice In the Hood review 56:56 - Next episode's mandated movie We'll be back in two weeks with another mandated movie.

Gogmazios is a pussycat in comparison. 0:15 - Larian studio good. Larian CEO bad. 26:23 - Compared to the original, the Trails in the Sky remake comes up short a few regards but overall, was very enjoyable 50:09 - Gogmazios doesn't hold a candle to the difficulty or raw spectacle of a triple Blangonga fight in the arena!

Happy Holidays month concludes with Eight Crazy Nights, Adam Sandler's laudable attempt to plug the Hanukkah-shaped gap in the holiday movie pantheon. Unfortunately, it's so bad I'd argue a marathon of Salo, Society, Audition, A Serbian Film, and both Nekromantic movies would be a much more pleasant sit. 0:00 - Trivial Trivia 16:46 - Eight Crazy Nights review 57:07 - Next episode's mandated movie We'll be back in two weeks with another mandated movie.

I think that's how long the Black Friday sales were. 7:15 PM@SheekagoThat's how they get you. The big discounted great deal overpowers the fact that you're not even on the fence about playing. 7:15 PM@jaredknisely6213so that means you havent played any ff's after 7 7:16 PM@addictedtochaos2Believe it or not most games still release “on disc” and not just a download key. 7:19 PM@SheekagoI think you're looking at ten years, at least for FF7 Remake collection.

Welcome to Movie Mandates, a review show in which sibling cinephiles Andrew and Keleigh force each other to watch movies according to a monthly theme! It's December and we're celebrating holidays most happy with movies that are at least tangentially related to the holidays, if not necessarily happiness. As such, my mandated movie is Better Watch Out, a home invasion movie where a babysitter and her young charges are in mortal danger! No seriously, this is one of those movies where kids can die! So, maybe not happy (unless you really don't like kids) but it takes place during Christmas so it totally counts! 0:00 - Trivial Trivia 12:30 - Better Watch Out review 1:03:07 - Next episode's mandated movie We'll be back in two weeks with another mandated movie.

It's got Brad Pitt in it? And he's like, a guy. Who does stuff. And things happen. But, it's kinda like a metaphor? For like, uh, life. And stuff.

What obvious joke? 0:00 - I'm no longer posting on Twitter. Find me at Bluesky (link below) 0:50 - Anther year, another wildly successful Extra Life marathon! 7:57 - San Diego Gas & Electric sent me a survey. It was poorly written and I told them so. 15:18 - I work in the education system. We were hit with layoffs. It sucks. 24:07 - GTA VI was delayed again.

It's incredibly fun -- but it's also hugely inspiring, and a beacon of positivity when life can be bleak 7:30 PM@LeeShowronsHey 7:40 PM@SheekagoHey Andrew and everyone 7:41 PM@atchaos4lifeHi all 7:46 PM@addictedtochaos2Such a helpful feature 7:49 PM@SheekagoWould Trails in the Sky FC Remake be a good starting chapter for a person trying to get into the series? Would it be better to start with the original? 7:51 PM@SheekagoI'm playing Persona 3 Portable and enjoying it. I'm probably around your age. 7:52 PM@SheekagoI do prefer QOL updates and better graphics, but not opposed to older games. 7:54 PM@jaredknisely6213its very weak 7:54 PM@jaredknisely6213im pretty sure they used ai for some stuff 7:54 PM@SheekagoMy big hesitation is that it's a long series. I also take a very long time to beat games. 7:58 PM@SheekagoOkay, that is immersion breaking. I can understand not always having characters being voiced, but not one being voiced and the other not. 8:00 PM@addictedtochaos2Worst voice acting has to be Arc Rise Fantasia 8:14 PM@jaredknisely6213the pretzel farm 2nd quest is not in the original theere are several vita quests not in the original 8:14 PM@SheekagoHave a good night all
