The Witch: Part 1 - The Subversion (2018)

November 05, 2026 / Ken Rupracht

Fun story for the lead up to tonight. On a journey through the YouTube rabbit hole of music videos (for those that aren’t me and know what I’m talking, that’s when you just keep clicking recommended videos and try not to run into repeats) we came across) for a band me and a pal had found, I came across one song that was from an OST. We did some searching to try and figure out what it was to, and it turns out it’s to the sequel of a movie that I had watched before but he had never seen. Lead on up to tonight, where I can use it as a review since I've apparently only done that double V title - tonight is a bit more menacing than that though. Strap in for a ride and some subtitled reading (unless you speak Korean), tonight we watch The Witch.

Blade of Fury (2024)

September 17, 2026 / Ken Rupracht

You know the deal - grab a selection of movies, screen them through the gang, narrow it down, then watch. Tonight came down to two of them - a new one (so new it requires a purchase) and the one that won, that didn’t cost anything beyond the subscription and two ad breaks. Think back into a land of floaty martial arts and bounty hunters as somewhere in a past China gets rowdy with plots and morals and sword. They’ve gone and made the wild dog angry, and now it’s time to taste his Blade of Fury.

Oscar Shaw (2026)

August 13, 2026 / Ken Rupracht

If I can’t give you tonal whiplash with the different movies I choose week to week, then your entertainment boat must be a super-yacht baby. Anyway, tonight we take step away from the triple Bs and racist shark riding zombies and swap into a potentially more dangerous but way more believable scenario - the drug and violence prone streets. For the first time in a while, the cuz has time to attend a movie night so we are doing a little celebrating with one of his favorite actors - old Michael Jai White. Of course, I mean old in the “classic dependable” sense not as in the he’s getting old sense, because although the man is older than me if you did a side by side he’s in way better shape in probably every measurable regard than I am regardless of how much younger I may be. I have no idea how to pull off a great segue with this one, but when criminals mess with the wrong man they have to answer to Oscar Shaw.

Sky Sharks (2020)

August 06, 2026 / Ken Rupracht

*In a shark no one can hear you scream.*

I watch trash movies. It looks like I actually watch a lot of good movies if you look at the titles listed here, but this is one of “fraction of my power’ kind of moments. The good news for me, and possibly the bad news for some, is that I generally enjoy those trash movies that I do watch, even if I keep their cross over with the website relatively small. Not tonight though, tonight you get the result of me seeing a title and going “ah yes, sounds fun.” watching the trailer and going “Oh, and Nazis?” and then putting it in a lineup for a friend to choose who then decided this looked the exact right amount of stupid. Don’t think too hard, tonight is the attack of the Sky Sharks.

Metal Skin Panic MADOX-01 (1987)

May 21, 2026 / Ken Rupracht

Got an old one for you tonight. Yes, I have a ton of flicks to choose from, including some that are on my list - and some of those I have been kind of waiting to see if they’ll hit the already owned circuits instead of needing to rent it. Anyway, today also happens to coincide with Skulls day - a day for Warhammer folks to find out all sorts of a new games and stuff in the pipes- but I’ve already run out of all their movies (all their new stuff tends to be shows), so I can’t on theme that. Since I can’t on theme that, and I am kind of wanting to catch up on all that news before it’s too late in the night, I thought let’s do something a bit shorter. I hadn’t originally thought forty minutes short, by my buddy never saw toinghts flick that’s slightly younger than me, so that’s what we are going to do. Time to put on you most metallic suit and go for a mouthful of title, tonight is Metal Skin Panic MADOX.

Heavy Trip (2018)

May 07, 2026 / Ken Rupracht

I said it, and you might have thought I was kidding, but tonight we're going to watch the movie that actually came out before the other movie that we watched last week. I know it's a bit of a wild concept and we don't usually do that kind of thing. I have been down to kind of just do a random movie, an entire chain of movies and just never come back to it. Last week's movie was really fun though, and I like having fun, so we're going to check out the one that came before. Will it answer any questions that we might have had leading up into the second movie? Will it have anything different on offer than the second movie? These are all very solid questions that a logical person might have. No matter what questions you might have, there's one that probably isn't a question, and that's I bet the soundtrack is gonna be good. Grab the keys to the van and pack up the instruments, tonight we watch Heavy Trip.

Heavier Trip (2024)

April 30, 2026 / Ken Rupracht

Now I know what you're thinking. He slipped back into his habits of justice, making us have to watch a whole bunch of horror movies, isn't he? Good news for you? No, kind of. At least not this week. See, although there was an option of catching up on a horror movie that's in the backlog this week, there was also about seven other movies that are also in the backlog that I can now get to without having to pay extra. So I did what I usually do and put them to the committee, and the committee said we want to do this one. And by the committee saying we want to do this one, I actually mean we couldn't decide so we had to just random spinner it and the spinner decided for us. But it's OK 'cause it looked good. Do you like metal music? Do you like humor? Do you like humorous references to rock and metal music? Oh man, you're about to go for one heck of a Heavier Trip.

The Bayou (2025)

April 23, 2026 / Ken Rupracht

It's time for another creature feature. There's no rhyme. There's no reason, it just is. Although last time we had a movie that had multiple layers to it with all of its characters and its incidental sharking, this time we have a movie about Gators in the Bayou. I probably sound as though I'm lacking a little bit of enthusiasm with this, but that's because I just finished watching it and oh boy am I mad. We'll get into that later, though. For now, you watch a trailer, and a trailer promises you drugged up killer Gators in the Bayou murdering people that happened to be there. What more do you want? What more do you need? That's right, tonight we're going to watch a movie whose title I have already actually said like 7 times. Tonight we watch The Bayou.

Primitive War (2025)

April 09, 2026 / Ken Rupracht

Tonight is another one on the list I haven’t gotten to yet. The concept sold me on the movie more than anything else, and to be fair in setting expectations, mine were pretty low for this movie going in. i'm also suffering a bit of arm pain so we're going to try something new tonight and try some voice dictation software to see if the review can be typed out by voice instead of my usual hand typing. In turn, I do apologize if anything is, you know, a little wonky, but I can always try and go through and touch things up afterwards as I reread it. I just would like to, you know, help myself out a little bit. It's almost the opposite of what we're watching tonight. But hey, with all this advanced technology, let's go ahead and start ourselves a nice watch of Primitive War.

Ghost Punchers (2025)

February 12, 2026 / Ken Rupracht

It’s my birthday, so I can watch what I want to and nobody can stop me. Up tonight is a random movie I found perusing the new adds to services. Hadn’t planned on it specifically, but when I read the title, saw it wasn’t an Asylum picture, and saw some of the trailer in the background I was hooked. Not like - oh yeah, this is going to be the best movie of the year kind of hooked, but “I’m gonna watch this because I’m probably going to have fun and it won’t overstay it’s welcome” kind of fun. So here we are, covered in ecto-goo and wondering how many friends i could convince to make a movie if I ever wanted to - tonight we punch ghosts with the Ghost Punchers.

Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt: December Sky (2016)

January 15, 2026 / Ken Rupracht

War never changes, but the tech sure does.

After getting my buddy into the hobby of gunpla to the point where he now has a pile of shame, I realize there really isn’t a lot of them for me to do on here. I mean, a lot of giant robot shows tend to be just that - shows - which isn’t very fitting for a movie night. Yeah, you occasionally get some movies that function more as a compilation of sorts - like the movies for the OG Gundam show or to some extent even the Gurren Lagann movies. Now, with what’s available to me, there was really only two main options - a movie for the Seed series (which I’ve never watched), or tonight’s movie. Well, obviously, we get tonight’s movie, one that I also knew nothing about until watching it outside of someone mentioning “i really should watch it” and jazz. Grab your radios and prepare to be instructed on how war is bad again, tonight we watch Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt: December Sky.

Don't Mess with Grandma (2024)

January 01, 2026 / Ken Rupracht

First movie on the first of the year, and I brought the crew together for a funny one. Yeah, sure, we could have done horror or pure action or whatnot, but if I’m being real I brought in this year by being sick for all my day off so we might as well bring some levity in with the new year - because what’s more ironically funny than taking a day off from work to do work just to be sick and not be able to do anything? Perhaps a movie about a retired Vet defending his granny from a home invasion without her knowing? When the grandson is Michael Jai White, you know you Don’t Mess with Grandma.

Here For Blood (2023)

November 13, 2025 / Ken Rupracht

Fun fact, but I’m writing this up on a Wednesday instead of my normal Thursday. Why am I doing this? Because my normal night might end up being busy and I’d rather have something ready early then skipping it or getting it done late. Anyways, I had to decide on something to watch with no real plan or anything outside of being kind of tired from all this dang cold, so I thought we’d just hit a movie that i saw once already and was pretty fun - although I guess you’ll need to wrestle with waiting until the end to see if I thought it was good and fun. This time around, the babysitter fights back - tonight, we are Here for Blood.

Hostile Takeover (2025)

September 18, 2025 / Ken Rupracht

Back to action this week. Every time my one cousin shows up for movie night, i throw a Michael Jai White movie at him since I know he loves his movies. This night is no different from this. So what do I have for you? Action. Comedy. Perhaps even some romance? Strap in folks, this is a Hostile Takeover.

Osiris (2025)

August 28, 2025 / Ken Rupracht

Tonight’s movie is hitting up some science fiction, and I always like me some space action. Props department and effects department are some of my favorite things - if in part because it’s so visual and easily identifiable as imaginative without me needing to have some crazy understanding of it like music, poetry, or body language can be. Now, going off the trailer I admit I don’t have the highest of expectations going in - but that’s usually nothing but a recipe for success when it comes to watching a movie. Get your battle buddies together and prepare to compare it to other great movies you like, tonight we check out Osiris.

11 Rebels (2024)

August 14, 2025 / Ken Rupracht

Tonight’s movie did it’s best to confuse me before I even started - Amazon video, prime service that it is, decided to randomly attach a different and completely unrelated modern zombie movie box art to it, leading me to wonder why I hadn’t bookmarked that samurai movie I saw and why I put a zombie movie in there when I haven’t actively been chasing after zombie movies since Train to Busan came out what feels like forever ago. Anyways, I couldn’t the horror movie from a dogs perspective and the comity voted for some fun sword slashing action, so samurais it is. In a way, it’s kind of fitting that it played the deception card from the beginning, but I wouldn’t learn that until later on. For now, grab your ladder logos to rep another team and pull your swords out, tonight we watch 11 Rebels.

K.O. (2025)

June 12, 2025 / Ken Rupracht

From a movie that focuses on murder and takes well into the movie to get to a murder straight into a movie that starts with murder. Tonight Netflix throws a movie that sounds a lot plenty of other action movies where we take a violent sport and one of it’s people and they get involved into stuff that isn’t that sport and possibly even more violent. It doesn’t take much to sound like a good time to me when it comes to action movies, which personally I feel is a superpower that lets me enjoy pretty near any action flick as long as it gives me some sort of action at some point or another - but if we put things like MMA in the description, well now I know we gonna get some punching and crunching. Subtitle if you want, dub it if you don’t - tonight we check out fitting but also super generically named K.O.

Buddha Palm Technique (2020)

December 26, 2024 / Ken Rupracht

Time to get handsy. Yeah, it’s a crap pun, but whatever they all can’t be bangers. So, this one I saw the cover art for over on amazon and went “that could be cool” - expecting it to be a animated movie. Well, turns out it was not an animated movie, but it is still a wire-fu flick so I got part of it right right? Bring out your subtitles, tonight we check out (as titled on Amazon anyways) Buddha Palm.

Eye for an Eye: The Blind Swordsman (2002)

April 11, 2024 / Ken Rupracht

I may have mentioned it at some point, but I’ve been watching a lot of a “tv” show that follows a character from some Detective Dee movies I watched a while back and really enjoyed. You can actually find those reviews on here somewhere, if memory serves me right. Well, anyways, what that means for tonight is I’ve been on a big Chinese action kick, so when I see something talking about a sword fighter who can’t see in the title, obviously I’m going to pick it to watch. So low and behold, here we are! We’ve heard plenty of a blind Japanese swordsman, but tonight we swim over to China to check out Eye for an Eye.

The Hard Way (2019)

April 13, 2023 / Ken Rupracht

It’s not a fight if there isn’t an exchange of blows.

Tonight we go back to the house of pain and get some wonderful hard hits. It’s go to throw in some simple action here and there so that we can all remember how wonderful it is to not get punched in the face by a mountain of a man with a look of disappointment on his face. It’s also a nice simple enjoyment that brings with it all those old classics, like one liners, revenge, and following through on threat-promises! That’s right, tonight we watch some bad guys learn why they are in the wrong The Hard Way.
