Scary Movie 3 Full Movie Uncut Watch Along:   / thereelrejects   Check out the DC Studios: Showcase Podcast HERE https://app.magellan.ai/listen_links/... Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Apparel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ In this highly anticipated movie review and reaction, Greg and Jackie conquer a hilarious rewatch of David Zucker's beloved parody masterpiece, checking out how it brilliantly skewers the biggest box-office thrillers of its time. We unpack the incredible comedic timing and performances of the massive ensemble cast, featuring Anna Faris (The House Bunny, Mom) returning as the delightfully oblivious Cindy Campbell, Regina Hall (Girls Trip, The Hate U Give) as the absolutely chaotic Brenda Meeks, and Charlie Sheen (Two and a Half Men, Platoon) playing Tom Logan. We also break down the unforgettable appearances from major stars and comedy icons, including Simon Rex (Red Rocket, Dirt) as George Logan, Anthony Anderson (Black-ish, Hustle & Flow) as Mahalik, Kevin Hart (Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, Central Intelligence) as CJ, Leslie Nielsen (The Naked Gun, Airplane!) delivering pure legendary status as President Harris, and Marni Eng as Tabitha, the iconic parody version of Samara Morgan from The Ring. Our hosts react to every single iconic visual gag, legendary punchline, and unhinged pop-culture reference this spoof has to offer. We break down the absolute comedy gold of the opening scene featuring Pamela Anderson & Jenny McCarthy mockingly setting up the cursed videotape curse, the hilariously aggressive rap battle sequence featuring Kevin Hart and Anthony Anderson, and the brilliant spoofing of Signs with massive crop circle layouts shaped like arrow indicators. From Leslie Nielsen's completely chaotic alien-fighting presidential address to the ridiculous, slapstick funeral wake fight where Brenda gets violently disassembled, Greg & Jackie dive into why this specific entry remains an absolute high-point for the entire franchise.

As classic 2000s parodies, raunchy comedies, and the legendary collaborative projects of the Wayans family continue to dominate pop culture retrospectives, we are diving into Hell House to rewatch the ultimate horror spoof sequel leading right into the upcoming legacy drops of the franchise.

Thank you to Huel for partnering and supporting our show! Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Apparel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ In this video review and reaction, Greg and Jackie conquer a wild "try not to look away" challenge as they brave the most boundary-pushing, gross-out humor of the early 2000s. We unpack the stellar comedic performances of the legendary ensemble cast, featuring Anna Faris (The House Bunny, Mom) as the effortlessly brilliant Cindy Campbell, Regina Hall (Girls Trip, The Best Man) as the iconic Brenda Meeks, Marlon Wayans (White Chicks, Requiem for a Dream) as the weed-loving Shorty, and Shawn Wayans (White Chicks, Don't Be a Menace) as the secretly closeted Ray. We also dive into the unhinged supporting players, featuring Chris Elliott (Schitt's Creek, Groundhog Day) as the creepy caretaker Hanson with his infamous "little hand," David Cross (Arrested Development, Kung Fu Panda) as the fragile-egoed Dwight Hartman, Tori Spelling (Beverly Hills, 90210) as Alex Monday, James Woods (Casino) as Father McFeely, and Natasha Lyonne (Russian Doll) in the unforgettable opening sequence. Our hosts react to every single iconic visual gag, from the chaotic, vomit-drenched Exorcist prologue that had Jackie physically gagging, to Shorty getting rolled into a massive joint and smoked by a sentient weed plant. We breakdown the legendary kitchen scene where Hanson intimately stuffs a turkey, the absurd physical comedy of Cindy's full-tilt hallway fight with a feral cat, and the climax featuring an incredible Charlie's Angels style wire-work martial arts showdown. Even with its fast-paced, sketch-like structure rushed out to theaters right after the massive success of the first film, this movie delivers an onslaught of unforgettable early-2000s references that perfectly showcase the timeless comedic genius of Anna Faris carrying the entire narrative.

BEFORE SCARY MOVIE 6 THERE WAS THE OG PARODY! Scary Movie Full Movie Reaction Watch Along:   / thereelrejects   Scary Movie 2000 Reaction & Commentary with Greg Alba and Jackie Bonsignore first time watching! In the lead-up to the brand new Scary Movie reboot / Scary Movie 6, we're going back to the original horror parody classic that started it all: Scary Movie, from the Wayans Brothers, spoofing Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, slasher movies, teen horror, and every inappropriate 2000s comedy rule imaginable. In this Scary Movie reaction, Jackie watches the original for the first time while Greg revisits the movie that traumatized his Catholic school childhood in the funniest way possible. We break down the Ghostface parody Scary Movie opening, the Scary Movie Wassup scene reaction, Marlon Wayans as Shorty, Anna Faris as Cindy Campbell, Regina Hall as Brenda, the Brenda cinema scene Scary Movie, the Scream parody reaction, the I Know What You Did Last Summer spoof, and all the wild jokes that absolutely feel like they could never be made the same way today. With the new Scary Movie reboot bringing the franchise back, this felt like the perfect time for a Scary Movie franchise retrospective and Scary Movie original vs reboot conversation. The Wayans Brothers helped define the modern horror parody with this movie, and now that Scary Movie 6 is bringing back major franchise faces, we're looking at whether the 2000 original still holds up as one of the best horror parodies ever made. Is Scary Movie 2000 still hilarious? Is Anna Faris one of the most underrated comedy leads of the 2000s? Is Regina Hall's Brenda the funniest part of the franchise? And can the new Scary Movie Wayans Brothers reboot recapture this level of chaos?

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.  If you'd like to watch it, click here to find where it's streaming or available to rent.

SCARY MOVIE is a staple of my childhood, an entryway into horror movies during a time where I wasn't allowed to watch most of them.It's a time capsule, for better and worse, of the late '90s/early '00s sense of humor & general fatigue regarding the slew of teen slashers riding SCREAM's coattails.This was my intro to the Wayans Bros, Regina Hall, Marlon Wayans, Shannon Elizabeth during their own first Hollywood at-bats, before Hall would act for Paul Thomas Anderson & Wayans would do his best J.K. Simmons in HIM.Sophomoric? Absolutely. Problematic? You bet your ass. But the Wayans carried the parody torch into the millennium, better than their contemporaries.

Before he realized what podcast he was on and called his agent, we had a lovely chat about his astounding career in show business, what it was like shooting such beloved 90's comedies as The Waterboy and Half-Baked, filming Monster with Patty Jenkins, how he wound up the favorite DP of the Wayans Bros, his philosophy of embracing the chaos in art and life, and the surreal events that led him to hanging out with Marlon Brando on the set of Scary Movie 2.Pick up your copy of Steven's novel, GRQ here:https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/grq-steven-bernstein/1147259290https://www.amazon.com/Grq-Steven-Bernstein/dp/191578946XFollow Steven Bernstein:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stevenbernsteindirectorwriterFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/StevenBernsteinOfficial/Keep your eyes peeled for the worldwide release of the GRQ film adaptation, starring Mena Suvari, Denzel Whitaker, and Greg Germann!https://www.boxofficepulp.com/Listen on Apple: https://www.boxofficepulp.com/appleListen on Spotify: https://www.boxofficepulp.com/spotifyListen on Amazon: https://www.boxofficepulp.com/amazonAll The OTHER Ways to Listen: https://www.boxofficepulp.com/listenFollow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BoxOfficePulpPodcast/Follow on Twiter/X: https://x.com/BoxOfficePulp

In 1999: The Year Low Culture Conquered America and Kickstarted our Bizarre Times (2025, University of Kansas Press) journalist Ross Benes examines low culture in the late 1990s. From pro wrestling and Pokémon to Vince McMahon and Jerry Springer, Benes reveals its profound impact and how it continues to affect our culture and society today.  The year 1999 was a high-water mark for popular culture. According to one measure, it was the "best movie year ever." But as Benes shows, the end of the '90s was also a banner year for low culture. This was the heyday of Jerry Springer, Jenna Jameson, and Vince McMahon, among many others. Low culture had come into its own and was poised for world domination. The reverberations of this takeover continue to shape American society. During its New Year's Eve countdown, MTV entered 1999 with Limp Bizkit covering Prince's famous anthem to the new year. The highlights of the lowlights continued when WCW and WWE drew 35 million American viewers each week with sex appeal and stories about insurrections. Insane Clown Posse emerged from the underground with a Woodstock set and platinum records about magic and murder. Later that year, Dance Dance Revolution debuted in North America and Grand Theft Auto emerged as a major video game franchise. Beanie Babies and Pokemon so thoroughly seized the wallets and imagination of collectors that they created speculative investment bubbles that anticipated the faddish obsession over nonfungible tokens (NFTs). The trashy talk show Jerry Springer became daytime TV's most-watched program and grew so mainstream that Austin Powers, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, The Wayans Bros., The Simpsons, and The X-Files incorporated Springer into their own plots during the late '90s. Donald Trump even explored a potential presidential nomination with the Reform Party in 1999 and wanted his running mate to be Oprah Winfrey, whose own talk show would make Dr. Oz a household name. Among Springer's many guests were porn stars who, at the end of the millennium, were pursuing sex records in a bid for stardom as the pornography industry exploded, aided by sex scandals, new technology, and the drug Viagra, which marked its first full year on the US market in 1999.  According to Benes, there are many lessons to learn from the year that low culture conquered the world. Talk shows and reality TV foreshadowed the way political movements grab power by capturing our attention. Pro wrestling mastered the art of "kayfabe"--the agreement to treat something as real and genuine when it is not--before it spread throughout American society, as political contests, corporate public relations campaigns, and nonprofit fundraising schemes have become their own wrestling matches that require a suspension of disbelief. Beanie Babies and Pokémon demonstrate capitalism's resiliency as well as its vulnerabilities. Legal and technological victories obtained by early internet pornographers show how the things people are ashamed of have the ability to influence the world. Insane Clown Posse's creation of loyal Juggalos illustrates the way religious and political leaders are able to generate faithful followers by selling themselves as persecuted outsiders. And the controversy over video game violence reveals how every generation finds new scapegoats. 1999 is not just a nostalgic look at the past. It is also a window into our contentious present.

Nine years before the Wayans Bros. used the title for their spoof franchise, Daniel Erickson laid claim to it in his early-90s indie horror hangout comedy set on Halloween, Scary Movie, starring a young John Hawkes giving a fantastically committed performance that oozes Courage The Cowardly Dog vibes (well before that was a thing). Shot near Austin, Texas, it's not exactly on the same caliber as 1974's The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, but it fully captures that Texas feeling and has a lot of Tobe Hooper lurking within its DNA. Aaron had the opportunity to see an anniversary screening of the film in the same theater it originally premiered in back in ‘91 with the writer/director, Daniel Erickson, in attendance, and captured the conversation for your listening pleasure — but be warned: “ABANDON HOPE, ALL Y'ALL WHO ENTER HERE!"

We watch Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood (1996) starring the Wayans Bros!

"The Wayans Bros." was a sitcom that aired on the WB network (now The CW) from 1995 to 1999. Its mix of slapstick comedy, witty banter, and the chemistry between the two real-life brothers helped the show build a strong and loyal fanbase. It offered a more diverse and inclusive representation of family dynamics and everyday experiences than most other shows did on mainstream television at the time. "The Wayans Bros." helped solidify their reputation as comedic actors, writers, and producers, paving the way for future projects like "Scary Movie" and "White Chicks.". It remains a cult favorite among fans of '90s television. The show left a mark on television history as a charming and humorous sitcom that showcased the comedic talents of the Wayans family while providing representation for African-American audiences. But did this iconic show have its footing right from the start? Listen as the S1E1 guys deep dive the show's pilot episode, "Goop-Hair-It-Is" and find out.

This rarely seen gem has now reached cult status, even being named to several "Top 10" lists for the first ten years of the millennium. How much performance is TOO much performance? How many DV cameras are TOO much? How much offensive imagery is TOO much?
