WB tried to bury this movie for a tax write-off. Fans and the director raised their voices and now Coyote vs. Acme has been unleashed! Was the rescue worth it? This week the Boyz tackle the almost never-released Coyote vs. Acme in an early release spoiler-free episode. Filmed in 2022, pic tested through the roof but then David Zaslav's newly-merged Warner Bros. Discovery shelved it as a tax write-off in 2023, the same fate that had already erased Batgirl (terms? Never to be shown in any way shape or form after the write off). This time, fans revolted loud enough that WB shopped the finished film instead of destroying it, and Ketchup Entertainment picked it up for theatrical release. Cupcake and WillDaBeast give you the verdict: was the fight and the fan rescue worth it? Wile E. Coyote hires personal injury lawyer Will Forte to sue the Acme Corporation for a lifetime of exploding products, and what follows is part courtroom satire, part love letter to Looney Tunes, stacked with cameos for longtime fans. With a cast including Lana Condor, John Cena, Martha Kelly, Louis Guzmán, and PJ Byrne, is this live-action/animation hybrid , in the spirit of Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers, the perfect end of summer screwball comedy with biting legal satire and toothy commentary about corporate overlords? Or is it a nostalgia grab. Does it work for kids who've never seen a Looney Tunes short?

NAB Presents: Breaking Brad - Experiment 19 - Sharks N Da Hood and Bad CGI Sharks

Not a Bomb

This week's experiment: a double feature of shark movies that proves the ocean isn't the only place where danger lurks. First up is Sharks N Da Hood, a movie that asks, “What if sharks invaded the streets?” and then seemingly forgot to ask literally any other question during the filmmaking process. What follows may be one of the most spectacularly awful movies ever made: baffling choices, painful dialogue, questionable acting, and a level of chaos that makes you wonder if anyone involved ever stopped to watch what they were creating.Then comes Bad CGI Sharks, which, despite a title that sounds like a warning label, is actually a surprisingly fun little low-budget shark movie. The CGI is exactly as advertised, the premise is ridiculous, and yet the movie understands something that Sharks N Da Hood apparently missed: if you're making a movie about absurd killer sharks, you should probably try to have some fun with it.The guys dive into both ends of the bargain-bin shark movie spectrum. One film is a cinematic shipwreck of nearly historic proportions. The other is goofy, self-aware entertainment that manages to rise above its limitations through sheer enthusiasm and a willingness to embrace the ridiculous.Expect terrible sharks, bad decisions, questionable effects, and one of the strangest double features to ever wash up on Breaking Brad.

This week's experiment: Visitors from the Arkana Galaxy, an Eastern European sci‑fi fever dream that asks, “What if humanity's first contact looked like a disco‑soaked existential crisis?” and then answers with one of the most gloriously unhinged films ever committed to celluloid. Strange creatures, stranger humans, and a plot that feels beamed in from another dimension collide into something so confident, so imaginative, so defiantly weird that you start to wonder if the filmmakers actually were from Arkana.The movie drifts through surreal set pieces, deadpan performances, and cosmic absurdity with the swagger of a masterpiece that knows you'll never fully understand it and doesn't care. In no way is this Breaking Brad; if anything, it might be one of the greatest films ever made, a reminder that sometimes the best cinema comes from the outer edges of sanity and geography.Expect baffling brilliance, unexpected beauty, and the kind of sci‑fi ambition that makes modern blockbusters look timid. Visitors from the Arkana Galaxy isn't just a movie, it's a transmission from a better, weirder universe, and we're lucky it reached us at all.Be sure to subscribe to the Gentlemen's Guide to Midnite Cinema to hear more of Sammy.

Does this sci-fi drama earn its Close Encounters comparisons or plays more like a prestige X-Files episode that runs out of answers right when you need them most.

Spielberg, aliens, and a CGI fox that should be tried for war crimes. Welcome to Disclosure Day.Cupcake and Mike review Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day, starring Emily Blunt, Josh O'Connor, Colin Firth, Colman Domingo, and Eve Hewson — a North by Northwest-meets-Close Encounters conspiracy thriller about what happens when the government finally admits aliens are real. Written by David Koepp, scored by John Williams, shot by Janusz Kaminski — this is about as classic-Spielberg a creative team as it gets. So why does this conversation get so heated? Is Spielberg "too old for this"? Why are Mike and Jose deeply split on Emily Blunt and Josh O'Connor performances? Is the third act really the humanity unifying resolution or did a legendary filmmaker shit the bed?

This week's experiment: the shimmering, logic‑defying pop‑music fever dream known as Glitter. A film that dares to ask, “What if Mariah Carey starred in her own A Star Is Born?” and then immediately forgets to answer because it got distracted by a sparkly butterfly.Set in a version of 1980s New York that appears to have been reconstructed entirely from perfume commercials and vague memories, Glitter is less a movie and more an extended montage that occasionally remembers it should have dialogue. Plot threads drift in and out like they're late for a different film, emotional beats land with the grace of a dropped microphone, and the editing suggests someone was frantically trying to escape the room while cutting it.Mariah whisper‑acts her way through heartbreak, fame, and several questionable wardrobe choices, while her love interest delivers a performance so beige it could be sold at Home Depot. It's not just a movie, it's a stress test. Of patience. Of endurance. Of Brad's ability to keep his soul from leaving his body mid‑episode. And this week, we find out whether he can survive ninety minutes of glitter‑coated melodrama… or if this is the moment he finally, truly, spectacularly breaks.Be sure to subscribe to the Gentlemen's Guide to Midnite Cinema to hear more of Sammy.

This week's experiment: the baffling, bargain-bin martial arts spectacle known as King Kong Fu. A film that dares to ask, “What if a kung fu master… was also a gorilla?” and then refuses to answer that question in any coherent way.Shot in Wichita, the very place Troy grew up, this cinematic fever dream brings things uncomfortably close to home. Local landmarks, questionable fight choreography, and a surprising amount of gorilla-related mayhem combine into something that feels less like a movie and more like a dare that went too far.We would explain the plot, but much like the film itself, it seems to wander off halfway through and never fully return. Instead, expect a whirlwind of awkward dialogue, ambitious-but-confusing action, and editing choices that suggest time itself may be broken.It's not just a movie, it's a test of endurance. Of friendship. Of sanity. And on this episode, we find out whether Brad can survive a gorilla with a black belt… or if this is the episode that finally breaks him.No bananas required.

We talk about what makes this feel like a grounded, gorier version of Nobody and how Wheatley's genre-blending sensibility makes Normal feel like the neo-noir Western we didn't know we needed.Then we pivot to Lee Cronin's The Mummy, the divisive body horror family drama that's also an exorcism film that's also a Sam Raimi Evil Dead riff that's also a revenge movie. We love Cronin, and there's real craft here, but we dig into why the film's identity crisis keeps it from landing as hard as it could.

Is the Faces of Death Reimagining Worth It? Spoiler Free w/ Guest BrianJose, Mike, and returning guest Brian from Luck Key Finds Comics take on the 2025 reimagining of Faces of Death, itself the notorious 1978 Mondo cult film that everyone whispered about but nobody's parents would let them watch. Directors Daniel Goldhaber and Isa Mazzei (Cam, How to Blow Up a Pipeline) modernize the concept in a big way, and the result is... complicated.We break down the cast (Dacre Montgomery (Stranger Things), Barbie Ferreira (Euphoria), Josie Tota, Jermaine Fowler, and Charli XCX), the Shudder/IFC acquisition, and whether the third act holds up or falls apart. Three opinions. No spoilers. Come back for the SPOILER'D breakdown to find out why it's a clever reboot but maybe not entirely successful.- - - - - - - - - -WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS!FOLLOW/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE/REVIEW/LOVEEmail us: WatchSkipPlus@gmail.comBe kind.

THE DRAMA Spoiler-Free Review | Robert Pattinson, Zendaya & A24's Most Unsettling Film YetCupcake and The WillDaBeast go spoiler-free on A24's most unsettling film of the year: The Drama, starring Robert Pattinson and Zendaya. Directed by Kristoffer Borgli (Sick of Myself, Dream Scenario) and produced by Ari Aster, this is the anti-rom-com you didn't see coming and are not ready for. Think Force Majeure meets Marriage Story with a twist that will make you want to cancel your next dinner party game night. Featuring standout performances from Alana Haim and Mamadou Athie, a score by Daniel Pemberton, and cinematography by Arseni Khachaturan, this film is stacked, controversial, and downright incendiary.

SPOILER'D: They Will Kill You — The Ending, The Pig Head & Why the Immortal Twist WorksFull spoilers. No mercy. Cupcake and Mike are diving all the way into They Will Kill You, Kirill Sokolov's gloriously unhinged action-horror film starring Zazie Beetz, Patricia Arquette, Heather Graham, and Tom Felton.We break down every major beat: the burning axe scene (an all-timer), Heather Graham's rogue eyeball, the hotel's satanic hierarchy, what the devil's pig head actually means, and that ending. We also talk about the film's surprisingly sharp class commentary, the Get Out-adjacent themes of power and sacrifice, and why this is one of the most fun hard-R genre films in recent memory if you go in with the right mindset.Think Kill Bill's gleeful brutality meets the John Wick hotel mythology meets Big Trouble in Little China's "just catch up" storytelling energy — and you're in the right zip code.───────────────────────────────

This week's experiment: the pint-sized action sequel The Impossible Kid, starring the endlessly charming Weng Weng. After the crew unexpectedly fell in love with the chaotic brilliance of For Your Height Only, they're diving back in… and happily so.And somehow, the magic is still there.What could have easily felt like a retread instead leans into everything that made the first film so special, the inventive action, the earnest weirdness, and a lead performance that's impossible not to root for. Sure, it's scrappy. Sure, it's unconventional. But that's exactly where the charm lives.This time, instead of asking “what are we watching?” the better question might be “why are we smiling so much?” The gadgets are still wild, the plot still zigzags in unexpected ways, but it all comes together into something that feels genuinely fun, and surprisingly heartfelt.It's not just a sequel… it's a reminder that sometimes lightning can strike twice.And on this episode, instead of trying to break Brad, the guys might have accidentally found something they all just… enjoy.Be sure to subscribe to the Gentlemen's Guide to Midnite Cinema to hear more of Sammy.
