154. Toy Story (1996)

toy story

*When we last left off, the members of  Warlock’s Realm were STILL being interviewed by Jennifer Livingston of La Cosse’s morning news. Only everyone is restless because Warlock keeps telling one story after another. They had gone to commercial just before Warlock was about to reveal how Lady T got involved*

Jennifer: Welcome back to this neverending interview. As you were saying Warlock, Lady T’s involvement began how?

*Mr. America interrupts before Warlock can answer*

America: Wake me up when this is 0ver, I’m taking a nap.

*America slouches back and tips his hat over his eyes*

Warlock: Shaddup. The way I looked at it, we had two guys and only one girl in Neyzor Blades. We needed another girl to balance it out. We decided to hold auditions for our last member. My original idea was to put an ad in the paper that wanted a young woman with legitimate film knowledge, experienced web-bloggers and generally funny personalities….

Jennifer: That sounds wonderful.

Warlock: Yeah……except onionhead over here *sticks his thumb to Wallstreet* didn’t put any of that in the ad. He put “Women wanted for experienced web-blog.” So instead of getting film students and movie fans, we got all sorts of women of all ages thinking we were everything from a cooking blog to a porno industry.

Jennifer: Why did you do that Mr. Wallstreet?

Wallstreet: Because the amount of space he wanted to print all that cost $30 dollars. Putting what I said cost $10. I figured saving 20 dollars would be profitable.

Warlock: Yeah, if we were advertising a YARD SALE! So for hours we had to turn away people, listen to boring stories and got nothing done. Until finally…..

 

*We go back in time to July 2015. The Warlock is sitting behind a desk in front of a staged area. He’s wearing a black t-shirt, blue jeans and white sneakers. Mr. America is to his left wearing green cammo fatigues, vest and hat along with black combat boots. Mr. Wallstreet is to Warlock’s right wearing a brown Nehru suit with white tie and green clogs. A frumpy looking woman walks out on stage*

Warlock: Ok…here we have….Agatha. What kind of movies are your favorite?

*The frumpy woman screams*

Agatha: I REALLY LIKE COMEDY MOVIES. I ESPECIALLY LIKE FORTY YEAR OLD VIRGIN AND AMERICAN PIE!!!!

*America, Warlock and Wallstreet cover their ears*

Warlock: I like the movie selections but feel free not to shout.

*Just as Warlock recovers, America shouts as well*

America: THERE’S NO NEED TO SHOUT!

*Warlock covers his left ear and looks at him with a glare.

Agatha: SORRY, I HAVE A MAJOR LEAGUE EAR INFECTION AND ITS HARD TO HEAR!!!!

*Warlock bangs his head against the desk as Wallstreet speaks*

Wallstreet: Thank you for your time, we’ll be in contact.

*Agatha leaves*

Warlock: This is getting no place fast. We’ve had 10 frumpy women, 17 that had no idea what this is about, screamo queen here, one religious maniac, one malignant dwarf, two mere idiots and the rest I don’t even want to think about. We’re never going to find a partner for Neyz at this rate.

Wallstreet: NEXT!

*A decent looking woman skips out onstage*

America: She doesn’t look so….

*America is cut off when the girl starts going into a dance number and sings I’ve Got a Crow*

America:……bad….what in the hell?

*Warlock stands*

Warlock: Hey hey hey, woah woah…..what’s with the number?

*The woman stops*

Woman: This is the audition for Peter Pan right?

*Wallstreet and America stare at her in shock, Warlock lowers his head*

Warlock: One….block…OVER!

*He points to the right, the woman runs off the stage and out the door*

America: Yeah, I think we’ve had it.

Wallstreet: This is a lost cause.

Warlock: Yeah let’s get out of here. Thanks a lot Wallstreet. I told you to put the full ad and you told me “This is more profitable”

Wallstreet: We saved 20 dollars.

Warlock: And wasted four hours….

*The boys get ready to leave when suddenly the backstage door opens and a blonde haired woman with an hourglass figure and a tight red dress walks out on stage carrying a purse. The guys stop dead in their tracks*

Warlock: Woah!

*America’s jaw drops and Wallstreet loosens his tie*

America: Now this is more like it.

*The boys sit back down*

Warlock: Welcome, your name is…..*he looks at his now scrambled papers*

Lady T: Just call me Lady T…..

*Wallstreet stands*

Wallstreet: YOU’RE HIRED!

*Warlock sits him back down*

Warlock: Not yet. So what kind of movies do you like?

*She puts her purse down and starts listing them*

T: I like….Ghostbusters

America and Wallstreet: YES!

T: I Like….Lord of The Rings

America and Wallstreet: YES YES!

T: I like….Animal House.

America, Wallstreet and Warlock: YES YES YES!

T: And…..First Period.

America, Wallstreet and Warlock: …..Noooooooo

T: In fact, I brought one with me. Here, I’ll show you.

*T bends over to reach in her purse, her bum sticking up in the air. The boys all lean over at once to check her out but cross each other’s line of vision and they all shove each other back down. She pops up without knowing what they were doing with a DVD in her hands*

Wallstreet: What movie is that?

*Warlock smiles*

Warlock: Toy Story!

T: Yes, that’s it.

Warlock: Well its time for the movie test. You know what that involves?

T: I’m not sure.

Warlock: We watch, we commentate. Just the two of us.

*Warlock gets up and runs to the stage*

America: Wait what?

Wallstreet: I thought all of us would….

*Warlock grabs T’s hand and they run backstage to a viewing area. He pops in the DVD. She sits in a nearby chair and he drops down on the floor as it begins*

 

Warlock: You got a friend in me……yes, the iconic movie that blew animation departments right out of the water with their state of the art animation. Animated movies would never be the same following the release of Toy Story. The movie itself is about toys coming to life when the kids aren’t around and how they interact with each other.

T: This is going to be exciting!

 

*The movie begins in Andy’s room. Andy (John Morris) is playing with his toys, having a jolly old time as his favorite toy sheriff Woody (Tom Hanks) stops Mr. Potato Head (Don Rickles) from dastardly deeds, such as robbing a bank and stealing Little Bo Peep (Annie Potts) sheep. Woody saves the day by dropping Potato Head into Andy’s baby sister Molly’s crib where she drools on it and bangs it apart*

Warlock: That’s a fate worse than death.

T: Getting drooled on?

Warlock: Indeed.

T: Wait until you have kids.

 

*Now we get an opening montage of Andy playing with Woody to the tune of Randy Newman’s “You Got A Friend in Me”. After the montage, we discover its Andy’s birthday and his mom (Laurie Metcalf) has a party planned for him*

Warlock: Heh, its Jackie from Roseanne.

 

*After Andy drops Woody off on his bed, the movie truly begins and all the toys come to life. Here we’re introduced to Rex the Dinosaur (Wallace Shawn), Hamm the piggy bank (John Ratzenberger), Slinky the Dog (Jim Varney), a platoon of green army men led by Sarge (R Lee Ermey), My Pal Robot (which is on wheels for some reason), Lenny the Binnoculars (Joe Ranft), Mr Spell (Jeff Pidgeon) and other various toys.

Warlock: Cliff from Cheers, Ernest, what a cast.

T: Thats a lot of toys.

Warlock: This kid’s parents must be loaded.

 

*Mr Potato Head complains that he’s meant for ages 3 and up and he’s not supposed to be babysitting princess drool. He then tries to show off Picasso for Hamm but Hamm doesn’t get it. Potato head then says “Whaddaya lookin at ya hockey puck?” to a nearby rubber squeezable hockey puck.

Warlock: The inside joke was that Don Rickles used that as one of his one liners during his Las Vegas comedy routines.

T: It is funny.

 

*Slinky wants to play checkers with Woody but Woody has some bad news. Slink “BAD NEWS??” Woody tells them to round everyone up for a staff meeting….and act happy.

Warlock: Second best fake laugh.

 

*After fraternizing with the Etch N Sketch, Rex the Dinosaur pops up and roars at him meekly. Rex “Were you scared?” Woody annoyed “I was close to being scared that time.” Rex whines about how he’s supposed to be scary but doesn’t have it in him.

Warlock: About as scary as last nights toast.

 

*Bo Peep then thanks Woody for saving her flock and they get a little g rated flirting in*

T: Just a couple of blocks away.

Warlock: This is a family show.

 

*Woody steps to the podium built by My Pal and the Snake but Mike the Microphone is too close and there’s feedback, causing Hamm to go “For cryin’ out loud!”

Warlock: For cryin out loud!

 

*Woody asks if everyone’s picked a moving buddy since Andy’s family is moving in a week. Hamm “You can’t be serious!” Rex had no idea they were supposed to have one and Potato Head cracks up Robot and See and Say by saying “Do we have to hold hands?” Woody, all serious, doesn’t want any toys left behind and says get a buddy quick. Next he says Tuesday night’s plastic corrosion awareness meeting was a big success thanks to Mr. Spell. Mr. Spell “You’re welcome.”

Warlock: The only thing corroding is my brain.

 

*Woody says Andy’s birthday party has been moved to today and everyone freaks out. The toys are worried they’ll be replaced while Slinky and Woody try to calm them down. Woody goes to make a speech but Hamm breaks it up by saying the birthday guests are here. Everyone freaks out and goes hog wild.

Warlock: So much for staying calm.

 

*Rex, Slink, My Pal, Snake and Potato check out all the guests being presents. Slink says there’s a nice little one only to find out its twice the size, causing everyone to scream. Rex “We’re doomed!” Mr. Spell “Spell, trash can!”

Warlock: Hahaha.

 

*Woody then tries to calm everyone down by sending Sarge and his platoon to recon for them. Next scene shows the army men taking one of Molly’s child monitor walkie talkies and making their way to a plant. Along the way the minesweeper (Greg Berg) gets stepped on and has to be dragged to safety by Sarge. “A good soldier never leaves a man behind!”

T: I’ve stepped on so many of those.

 

*Meanwhile the toys gather around the second walkie talkie as Andy opens presents. Sarge reads off the presents, Mr Potato Head wishes for a Mrs Potato Head. First present is a lunch box. Woody “A lunch box??” Second present is bed sheets. Potato Head “Who invited THAT kid?”

Warlock: I did.

 

*We cut to the last present which turns out to be….BATTLESHIP!*

Warlock: Good choice for a present.

 

*The toys rejoice but just as the troops pack up the walkie talkie, Andy’s mom pulls a surprise present out of the closet. Andy opens it but the kids are screaming too loud so the bedroom talkie starts to static. Rex gets impatient and shakes the stand and the talkie falls, popping the batteries out. Potato Head and Hamm give Rex grief and try to put the batteries in, but fail miserably*

Warlock: Potato Head trying to smash them in there, haha.

 

*Woody manages to get the batteries back in just in time to hear Sarge warn them that Andy and the boys are coming upstairs. Everyone scrambles to get back to their spots and Woody gets back on the bed. Andy and his friends barge into the room, knock Woody off the bed and plops a cardboard spaceship on the bed in his place. The boys leave and go downstairs as all the toys come out to inspect what just happened. Woody crawls out from under the bed and the toys ask if he’s been replaced. Woody says to give whatever is on the bed a nice welcome*

Warlock: Unless its a cobra.

T: Why would it be a cobra?

 

*Woody climbs up and standing there on the bed is Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen)…space ranger. Buzz thinks he’s real so he tries to contact star command. He notices the ship opened and says it’ll take weeks to repair. He flicks his arm to open a communicator (its just drawn out on the plastic) and says there’s no sign of intelligent life anywhere. Then Woody pops up and says “Hellloooooooo” startling Buzz into locking on his lazer (a little lightbulb that blinks).

Warlock: Nope, still no intelligent life.

 

*Woody welcomes him and Buzz notices the Sheriff badge and says “Local law enforcement, about time you got here.” Buzz introduces himself and Woody tries to explain he’s in his spot when Buzz tackles him and says “Halt who goes there!” Rex pops his head up “Don’t shoot, friends!”

Warlock: THERE’S THE ALIEN SHOOT EM!!!!

 

*Woody says they’re good and Buzz introduces himself “I am Buzz Lightyear, I come in peace.” Rex races over to shake his hand and thank him for not being a dinosaur*

T: Brontosaurus Buzz

 

*Rex asks what the buttons on Buzz’ chest do and Buzz presses one. A voice “Buzz Lightyear to the rescue” Hamm marvels at the sound quality as Potato Head says Woody’s pullstring sounds like a car ran over it*

Warlock: Heh.

 

*Hamm asks where’s he from and Buzz gives the speech that’s on the side of his box. Potato Head “Oh really? I’m from Playskool.” Woody confers with Bo and she says “He’s got more gadgets on him than a swiss army knife.” Slinky presses the lazer button and Buzz says “You don’t want to be in the way when my laser goes off.”

Warlock: You melt on sight.

 

*Potato Head asks why Woody doesn’t have a laser and Woody says its not a laser but a little lightbulb that blinks. Potato Head says he has laser envy*

T: Better than penis envy.

 

*Woody says they’re all impressed with Andy’s new toy and Buzz says “The word you’re looking for is space ranger.” Woody “The word I’m searching for, I can’t say because there’s preschool toys present.”

Warlock: Hahahahaha

 

*Rex asks Buzz what a space ranger actually does and Woody gets pissed and says he’s just a toy, he can’t fly. Buzz then stops him, presses the big red button on his chest and plastic wings pop out. Woody says “What, these are plastic, he can’t fly.” Buzz and Woody argue about whether he can fly or not and Woody asks “Mr Light Beer” to prove it.

T: I want some light beer.

 

*Buzz leaps to the bed post “To infinity…and beyond!” and proceeds to fall onto a bouncy ball, hook up on a ceiling fan, swirl around and flip back on the bed. Buzz “Can!” The toys celebrate as Woody complains that wasn’t flying but falling in style. Woody smirks and says “They’ll see, I’m still Andy’s favorite toy.”

Warlock: You’re in trouble now
*Next we get a montage to Randy Newman’s Strange Things where the room changes from Woody pictures, posters and bed sheets to Buzz Lightyear paraphernalia. Buzz establishes himself as everyone’s new friend and Woody hates it. The critical image is when it comes down to who Andy sleeps with, he puts Woody in the toybox and sleeps with Buzz. A dejected Woody must sleep with the other toys as the montage ends*

Warlock and T: Straaaaang thingsss.

 

*Woody opens the toybox and wonders where his hat is. A squeaking Shark (Jack Angel) pops up with the hat on “Look I’m Woody! Howdy, howdy, howdy!” Woody sarcastically laughs “A ha… a ha ha ha gimmie that!”

T: That’s Neyz’ favorite line.

 

*Buzz calls over Rex and Slink to confirm that he’s been accepted into their culture since Andy wrote his name on his foot. Woody gets steaming mad as Bo Peep tries to calm him by saying Andy has a special place for him. Potato Head walks by “Yeah, in the attic.” Woody can take no more and confronts Buzz while he tries to fix his ship. Just before they go blow to blow, Woody accidentally presses the button that controls Buzz’s helmet. It opens and Buzz gags in front of Woody. Buzz “How dare you open a spaceman’s helmet on an uncharted planet. My eyeballs could have been sucked from their sockets.” Woody mocks him and Buzz calls him on it. Woody “BUZZ LOOK AN ALIEN!” Buzz turns and Woody laughs at himself.

Warlock: Hahahaha.

 

*All of a sudden a dog barks and the toys all run and hide*

Warlock: Its Sid!!!

 

*Hamm says Sid’s been kicked out of summer camp early this year. The toys all gather around to watch the neighbor a door over. Sid (Erik Von Detten) is the heel of the movie along with his rabid dog Scud. They have Combat Carl rigged to a stick of dynamite. Buzz comes over to investigate as Woody with the help of Lenny shows him Sid, the sinister laughing boy. Buzz “You mean that happy child?” Potato Head “That ain’t no happy child.” Rex “He tortures toys…just for fun!” Buzz jumps on the window as Bo tells him to get down. Buzz “I’m gonna teach that boy a lesson.” Woody “Yeah sure, go ahead. Melt him with your scary laser.” He presses the button as Buzz says “Be careful with that!”

Warlock: Hahahaha

 

*Lenny notices Sid lit the dynamite and tells everyone to hit the dirt.

*Warlock dives on T, Everyone takes cover as BOOOOM!!!! Carl is blown to smithereens much to Sid’s delight*

T: Get off me, will ya?

Warlock: Sorry, was protecting you from the blast.

 

*The explosion leaves a crater in Sid’s backyard*

Warlock: I’m surprised his father didn’t run outside and beat the crap out of him.

T: If that was one of my boys, they wouldn’t be able to sit for a week.

 

*Buzz laments saying he could have stopped him while Woody says he’d love to see him try and end up a crater. Bo “The sooner we move, the better.”

T: Damn bad kids.

 

*We cut to see the For Sale sign by Virtual Realty*

Warlock: Clever

 

*Andy is playing with Woody and Buzz….well more like Buzz beating the crap out of Woody. Andy’s mom says all the moving made them hungry and they should go to Pizza Planet. Andy gets excited and asks to bring some toys, Andy’s Mom says he can bring one. Woody “Just one?”

Warlock: You know…even as a child, I wouldn’t dare bring my toys to an arcade/restaurant. Who knows what kind of hoodlums would be there ready to lay waste to your action figures? Then again this is a kids movie so whatever.

 

*Woody jiggles the magic and asks if Andy will pick him*

Warlock: Remember those?

T: Can’t forget.

 

*“Don’t count on it” is the response. Woody “DON’T COUNT ON IT?? AWWWWW!!!” He slams the ball down and it rolls behind the table. Woody then hatches an evil scheme to knock Buzz behind the table so Woody will be chosen*

Warlock: Woody turns HEEL!

*Woody grabs RC’s remote and steers him into Buzz, but misses and crashes into the bulletin board. A series of mishaps lead to Buzz being knocked out the window and into the plant below rather than behind the desk*

T: Man overboard!!

 

*RC squeals that Woody did it and the toys revolt. Woody claims it was an accident as Sarge, Hamm, Potato Head and RC get PO’d while Slink takes Woody’s side. Rex doesn’t like confrontations as the Potato Head delivers the motive. Hamm says let’s get him and the army men gang frags him. My Pal, RC, Rocky Gibraltar (also voiced by Jack Angel), Hamm, Potato Head, Sarge and the Snake gang up on him as Bo tries to calm everyone down*

Warlock: Its a free for all!.

 

*Andy is heading back to the room so the toys all retreat, leaving Woody alone on the table. Although Potato Head has Etch doodle a noose with the implication that they’re going to hang him by his pull string*

Warlock: Dead man walking.

 

*Andy can’t find Buzz so he grabs Woody and runs out to the car with his mom. Buzz is alright and he notices Woody being carried by Andy so he runs and jumps on the car as it pulls away*

Warlock: Love how nobody in the neighborhood saw that.

 

*Rex leads a rescue mission as none of the toys are aware Buzz is with Woody. They use a barrel of monkeys to form a rope but it doesn’t work*

Warlock: Why didn’t they just have Slink hold the monkeys and hang HIM out the window since he stretches and all?

T: But Buzz isn’t there anyway so you’re just wasting time thinking about it.

Warlock: Great point.

 

*Andy’s mom stops for gas at Dinoco*

Warlock: Clever

 

*Woody wonders what he’s going to do when he gets home. Then Buzz appears and drops down next to him as Woody rejoices. He thinks he’s saved and tries to make peace with Buzz. Woody “Right buddy?” Buzz “I just want you to know that even though you tried to terminate me, revenge is not an idea we promote on my planet.” Woody “Oh good.” Buzz “….but we’re not on my planet, are we?” Woody “uh…no?”

Warlock: GO TIME!!!

 

*Buzz tackles Woody out of the car and they have it out. It has to be seen to appreciate, words on a screen can’t do it justice but the fight is hilarious. In the middle of their brouhaha, Andy’s mom starts up the car and takes off…leaving Woody and Buzz at the gas station alone*

Warlock: Nice going fellas.

 

*Woody “I’m lost….I’m a lost toy.” Woody sobs as Buzz reports in his mission log and Woody goes to strangle him but a huge mack track comes by and nearly runs over Woody*

Warlock: That would have ended the movie right there.

T: That would have sucked.

 

*Buzz continues his “report” when Woody finally catches up with him. Woody blames him for everything when Buzz cuts him off saying the universe is in trouble. Woody is caught off guard and Buzz goes into a speech about only he can stop Emperor Zurg (his arch-nemesis) from destroying planets with a superweapon. He then blames Woody for delaying his rendezvous with Star Command. Woody pauses for a moment then goes on an epic rant. “YOU…ARE…A….TOYYYYYY!!! You’re not the real Buzz Lightyear, you’re an action figure. YOU are a child’s PLAYTHING!” Buzz “You are a sad, strange little man…and you have my pity. Farewell.” Woody “Oh yeah well good riddance ya loony.” Woody walks off and sarcastically mouths “Rendezvous with Star Command…:”

Warlock: My favorite line.

 

*All of a sudden a truck pulls up, a delivery truck from Pizza Planet, and Woody rejoices.

Warlock: How convenient.

 

*He convinces Buzz to go with him into the truck by saying he’s found “a spaceship”. Buzz hops in the front and hooks a seatbelt while Woody hops in the back and nearly gets annihilated by the maniac driver on the way to Pizza Planet*

Warlock: MAH BABY’S ALL LIQUORED UP!!!!

 

*Once they get there. Buzz notices the robotic guards (Phil Proctor) at the entrance and wonders how they’re going to get by*

Warlock: Isn’t that Howard from Rugrats?

T: I don’t know.

 

*Woody staggers to his feet with a soda cup over his head and Buzz says “Great idea Woody, I like your thinking.”

Warlock: Ha.

 

*Woody and Buzz make their way to the entrance disguised as a cup of soda and a burger container. Once they make it inside, we’re shown the outer space themed Pizza Planet. Woody spots Andy but Buzz sees a crane game in the shape of a spaceship so he makes a run for it. Woody “This can NOT be happening to me!” Woody goes after him as Buzz makes his way into the crane game and is surrounded by a sea of little 3 eyed aliens (Debi Derryberry). “A stranger! From the outside! Ooooohhhhh!”

Warlock: My mom loved those aliens.

 

*Buzz comes in peace as Woody makes his way inside. Buzz asks who’s in charge and the aliens point up. “THE CLAWWWWWWW. Buzz looks up*

Warlock: I still do that pose Buzz just made when he looks up.

 

*Alien “The claw is our master, he decides who will go and who will stay.” Woody is disgusted “This is ludicrous.”

Warlock: LUDA!

T: Move bitch, get out the way.

 

*All of a sudden Woody hears Sid’s voice and sure enough, the nefarious infidel is in the process of breaking the building’s version of the Whack-a-mole*

Warlock: Now you see why you don’t bring toys to the arcade kiddos.

 

*Sid stops by the crane game and manages to win one of the aliens. “I have been chosen! Farewell my friends, I go on to a better place.” As Sid goes to grab his winnings, he notices Buzz’ head sticking out and decides to go for Buzz. Woody scrambles to find the exit and does manage to get it open, but the claw picks Buzz up*

Warlock: You gotta be kidding me. You know how many quarters I wasted as a child trying to get crane game items and this stooge manages to get two in a row? As my dad would say, “its only a movie.”

 

*Woody pulls Buzz down and Sid bangs on the window in frustration. Suddenly the aliens pop up and push Woody away from the exit toward the crane. Woody “Hey! What are you doing! Stop it you zealots!” Suddenly the crane lifts Buzz with Woody attached as Sid exclaims “Alright double prizes.” He gathers his loot “Let’s go home and….play.”

T: What a punk.

 

*Sid skateboards home with Woody, Buzz and the alien in his backpack and Buzz notices Andy’s house is right next door. The Alien “The mystic portal awaits!” Woody exclaims “Will you be quiet? You guys don’t get it do you? Once we go into Sid’s house, we won’t be coming out*

T: Like a constipated turd.

 

*Sid enters the door and the snarling Scud is there to greet him. Sid has a present for him and grabs the alien from the bag. He sits it on Scud’s nose and says “Now!” Scud then tears the thing apart in his mouth as Buzz and Woody look on in horror*

Warlock: Our first movie casualty?

T: Nooo, they wouldn’t “kill” things in a kids movie.

 

*Sid screams out for his sister Hannah (Sarah Freeman) and asks if he got his package in the mail. Hannah says she doesn’t know and Sid gets mad. He grabs Hannah’s doll and runs up to his room to perform an “operation.”

T: Dr. Ben Dover.

Warlock: I was gonna say Dr. Grady Pounder.

 

*Sid rips the doll’s head off along with the head of a plastic Pterodactyl and attaches the Pterodactyl’s head to the doll. He gives it back to Hannah who screams and calls for her mom*

Warlock: Once again, in real life I’d have love to have seen the ass kicking Sid would have got from his dad.

T: I know I would have if I did something similar.

 

*Sid throws the doll down and runs after Hannah. Woody gets freaked when he notices the evil posters and the lava lamp with doll heads in it instead of lava. Woody “We are gonna die. I’m outta here!” Woody runs off but then starts hearing noises. He picks up a nearby flashlight and sees a baby’s head under a desk. The baby emerges to be a giant spider made out of an erector set with a hairless, one eyed doll’s head attached (Baby).

Warlock: HOLY SHIT!

 

*Out walks a pair of Barbie legs attached to a fishing rod (Legs). Next, a jack in the box with a giant hand that comes out (Hand in the Box). A Gi-Joe’s upper body attached to a skateboard (Roller Bob) rolls out and then a windup frog on a hotwheels racer(Frog) follows. Finally a…a…I don’t know what the hell it is (Jingle Joe), a male head attached to a rolling toy with a hand that shuts Woody’s flashlight off. Woody freaks out and climbs on the desk and Buzz too “bughbubububuhbub Buzzzzzzz!!!”

T and Warlock: Hahahahaha.

 

*Legs, a duck pez dispenser attached to a male torso (Ducky) anda Praying Mantis head attached to a torso of a Combat Carl with a steering wheel controlling the torso of a Rocky Gibraltar figure (Rockmobile) pull the doll’s body out of the vice it was in, while the rest of the mutant toys including a yellow car with human arms and legs for wheels (Pump Boy) grab both heads and the Pterodactyl’s body as well then drags it all away.

Warlock: What the hell is that?

 

*Buzz “They’re cannibals!” Woody runs away with Buzz in pursuit. Buzz says he’s set his laser from stun to kill and Woody isn’t happy. “Aw great, great. If anyone attacks us, we can blink them to death!”

Warlock: Say what you will, but Sid sure has a hell of a lot of creativity. That Rockmobile…thing is ingenious.

 

*Meanwhile next door Rex and Slinky have a searchlight going for Buzz and a nearby cat gets in the way causing Rex to shout at it*

T: Meowwwww

 

*Andy comes home and the toys gather around. Andy laments that Woody’s gone too and the toys all react. Hamm and Potato Head are happy while Slinky, Rex and Bo are stunned. The next morning Sid tortures Woody by using the old magnifying glass to burn a hole in his forehead trick before getting called down by his mom (Mickie McGowan) for pop tarts.

Warlock: I want some pop tarts.

 

*Once gone, Woody jumps up screaming and buries his head into a nearby cereal bowl. Buzz is covered in play darts and as he pulls them off, he applauds Woody for not surrendering.*

T: This means war.

 

*Woody notices the door is open and makes a run for it only to be stopped by the mutant toys. Woody tells Buzz to do something and Buzz tells him to shield his eyes. He then shoots his “laser” at Baby who just looks around confused. Woody “You idiot, you’re a toy. Use your karate chop action!” Woody then presses a button on Buzz back that makes his arm do karate chops. He backs away the mutants with Buzz’s karate chop much to Buzz’ confusion. “Hey hey, how are you doing that? Stop that!” Woody “Back, back you savages, back!” Buzz “Woody, stop it.” Woody “Sorry guys but dinner’s cancelled.”

Warlock: Get the container!

 

*Woody makes a run for the stairs but notices Scud sleeping at the bottom. Woody slowly backs up the stairs as Buzz pulls him aside to chew him out. As they try to sneak away, the banister triggers Woody’s pull string which wakes up Scud*

Warlock: WE GOTTA GET THIS WAGON TRAIN A MOVIN!

T: Better run guys.

 

*Buzz tells them to split up so Woody heads for the closet as Buzz runs into what appears to be a tv room. Scud notices Sid’s dad snoring away in the barcalounger and walks away*

Warlock: So he’s had a dad this whole movie? He should have smacked the daylights out of him for blowing up the backyard!

 

*Buzz goes to leave but the TV (Penn Jillette) chimes “Calling Buzz Lightyear. Come in, Buzz Lightyear. This is Star Command. Buzz Lightyear, do you read me?” Buzz gets excited and goes to answer only for a boy on tv to answer for him. Its a Buzz Lightyear commercial that confirms that Buzz is just a toy. It even says “Not a flying toy.”

Warlock: Gotta love Penn as the announcer.

 

*In the graphic montage. The toy is available at Al’s Toy Barn*

Warlock: That means nothing in this movie but it will in the future.

 

*Buzz can’t believe it as another Randy Newman song “I Will Go Sailing No More” comes on to show how dejected Buzz is. Buzz notices the open window and hops to the top of the banister. He hears Woody’s voice saying he’s a toy and can’t fly but blocks it out. “To infinity…and BEYOND!” He leaps…..and crashes down the stairs, breaking his arm off*

T: Oh no, that’s so sad.

Warlock: It didn’t work.

 

*Hannah walks in looking for her new doll but finds the one armed Buzz and takes him away*

T: No more sailing for him.

 

*Back upstairs Woody escapes the closet and hears Buzz in the next room getting played with by Hannah. Buzz/Mrs Nesbitt’s drinking buddies are 3 headless dolls*

Warlock: Damn Sid is brutal.

 

*Woody runs up to Buzz who acts slovenly drunk. “One minute you’re defending the whole galaxy. And suddenly you find your self suckin’ down Darjeeling with Marie Antoinette and her little sister.” Two of the dolls both wave*

Warlock: Haha!

 

*Woody tries to snap Buzz out of it but he’s too far gone. Buzz cries that he can’t fly out a window and Woody notices the window in Andy’s room is open. He grabs Buzz and makes a dash for Sid’s window. Over in Andy’s house, Hamm is defeating Potato Head in an epic game of Battleship*

Warlock: Win if you can, lose if you must but always cheat.

T: That’s awful.

 

*Woody calls out and they notice him. Hamm calls everyone over and Woody says they’re going to get out of there…until he see’s Buzz playing with himself and crashing his arm like a plane.

Warlock: Heh, he’s playing with himself…..not like that you pervert!

T: Awww man.

 

*Woody tosses Slinky the Christmas lights he stole from the closet and Slink catches it. Potato Head grabs it and says they should just drop it after what Woody did to Buzz. Woody tries to get Buzz to join him to get the toys off his back but he refuses. He rips the plastic “communicator” sticker off and crumples it up. Woody “Buzz will you get up here and give me a hand?” Buzz tosses him the arm and Woody says “That’s very funny Buzz..THIS IS SERIOUS!” Potato Head calls him a liar and Woody thinks on the fly by having the arm wave behind his back. Rex and Slinky are fooled but Hamm and Potato Head aren’t. Hamm “Something’s screwy here.” Potato Head “What are you trying to pull?” Woody then goes to protest but then pulls the arm into plain view. Bo shrieks, Rex pukes and Potato Head screams “MURDERER!” Woody tries to explain but Potato Head isn’t hearing it. “Save it for the jury. I hope Sid pulls your voicebox out, ya creep!” Potato Head lets go of the light chord and it falls into the driveway as Woody pleads for help. Even Slink can take no more and shuts the window on Woody*

Warlock: He had that coming.

 

*It starts to thunder out as the mutant toys gather around Buzz. Woody comes to his rescue but Baby pulls the arm away from Woody, sending Woody flying. Woody tries a second time to get Buzz out of there but when he gets close, Buzz has his arm re-attached by the mutants. Woody is shocked “They fixed you…but they’re cannibals, we saw them eat those other toys.” The mutants clear a path and show the Janey doll and Pterodactyl with their heads re-attached as well. Woody realizes he’s had the toys all wrong. The mutant’s retreat and Woody wonder’s why until he hears Sid making his way back*

Warlock: Psycho incoming.

 

*Buzz refuses to move and Woody gets mad “Fine, let Sid trash you but don’t blame me!” Sid’s package came and its a high explosive. Sid looks for Woody to use it on but can’t find him, instead he finds Buzz and uses duct tape to strap the rocket to his back. All of a sudden it starts raining, much to Sid’s chagrin. Sid then says the launch has been postponed to tomorrow and sets his alarm for morning*

Warlock: Again, the kid buys a damn high explosive and his parents do nothing?

T: I’d slap him around for sure.

 

*Meanwhile back in Andy’s room, his mom tells him that she couldn’t find Woody or Buzz, just Andy’s cowboy hat. Andy goes to sleep sad and the toys are all boxed up. Rex and Potato Head are moving buddies and Potato Head gives him the business when Rex comes up for air. Bo notices Andy sleeping with the hat and wishes Woody was there to see it*

T: Awwww

 

*Meanwhile back in Sid’s room the following morning, the maniac is passed out on his bed. Woody hid in a crate but now has a giant toolbox on it so he can’t get out. He calls over Buzz to help him but again Buzz doesn’t budge. Buzz gives a sob story of how he finally realizes he’s a toy. Woody gives him a pep talk about how he’s much cooler than he is and lots of toys wish they could be Buzz. After a while, Buzz springs up and is revitalized. Buzz pushes the toolbox off the crate so Woody can get out but notices the moving van. Now the pressure is on*

Warlock: Oooooh the exciting conclusion!

 

*Not noticing Woody’s made it out, Buzz keeps pushing until the box falls on Woody. Suddenly the alarm clock goes off and Sid wakes up. He gets up cheerful, grabs Buzz and runs outside. Woody chases after him but Scud chases him back into the room. The mutant toys gather but when Woody acknowledges them, they scatter. Woody apologizes and begs for their help. Of course the mutant’s volunteer to help*

Warlock: Oh sure.

 

*Woody says they have to break a few rules but he’s got a plan that will help everybody. Meanwhile Andy’s room is cleaned out including all his toys. All he has left of Buzz is his ship and his cowboy hat to remind him of Woody. Out in Sid’s yard, Sid constructs the launch pad while Woody goes over the plan. He enlists Pump Boy, Legs and Ducky for a mission and says he’ll be with Roller Bob. Scud barks at the door as Legs and Ducky pull off the air vent. They hop around until we’re back with Woody. Woody tells Pump Boy to wind up Frog as Rockmobile lifts up Hand in the Box to open the door. Legs and Ducky make it to the outside light and lift it away. Ducky hooks himself up and lowers until he can swing to ring the doorbell. Woody says now as Hand opens the door and the Frog shoots out with Scud in hot pursuit. Ducky lowers to the welcome mat as Frog makes its way downstairs. Baby, Rockmobile, Hand, Jingle Joe, Janey, Pterodactyl and Woody all pile on Roller Bob as Hannah opens the door*

Warlock: How the hell does she not see Ducky right there in front of her?

 

*Woody and the gang make their way downstairs and out the back door. Frog shoots outside into Ducky’s arms and Legs lift them to safety as Scud cleans out Hannah making a mad dash outside. Ducky puts the light back as Hannah shuts the door in Scud’s face “Stupid dog!” Woody and the gang makes it to the bushes as Sid is finalizing the launch sequence. Legs, Ducky and Frog make it out of the drain pipe*

T: All hands are on deck.

 

*Woody tells everyone to get ready and they spread out. Sid searches for matches as Woody runs out in plain view and tells Buzz everything is under control. Woody collapses and Buzz is confused. Sid notices Woody on the ground and wonders how he got out there. He sticks a match in Woody’s holster and tosses him on the grill. “You and I can have a cookout later.” As Sid begins the 10 second countdown, the mutants all spread out. Pump Boy makes it to the sandbox where some ill-fated doll comes to life. As Sid makes it to 1, Woody’s voicebox goes off with his catchphrases. Sid drops the match and picks up Woody and says he’s busted. Suddenly Woody starts talking even though his face remains motionless “Who are you calling busted, buster?” Sid turns Woody around and the pullstring isn’t moving, he can’t figure out how he’s talking. “Yes I’m talking to YOU, Sid Philips. We don’t like being blown up Sid, or smashed…or ripped apart.” Sid starts to freak “W-we?” Woody “That’s right, your toys!” Suddenly Pump Boy emerges from the sandbox with a charred, burnt doll and a red pickup truck. Suddenly Frog emerges from mucky water with one headless soldier and another with both arms gone and a nail through its head. The alien pops out of Scud’s water bowl and shambles toward Sid. Legs lowers Baby who attaches its arms to Sid’s head and he screams. Hand pops out on top of Rollerbob with Janey, Pterodactyl and Jingle Joe in tow. The toys surround Sid and Woody’s voicebox goes “From now on you must take good care of your toys. Because if you don’t, we’ll find out Sid.” Woody’s head starts spinning Exorcist style “We toys can see everything!”

T: That would be scary for children.

 

*Suddenly Woody comes to life “So play nice.” Sid throws his arms up and runs away screaming into the house. Woody and the mutant’s celebrate “We did it, we did it, yes!” Sid runs into Hannah exclaiming the toys are alive. Hannah then sticks her Sally doll in his face and he runs away screaming. Hannah chases him up the stairs as Woody thanks all the mutants for their help*

Warlock: They showed that turd who’s boss.

 

*Woody and Buzz shake hands as the moving van honks. Andy’s mom’s car takes off and Woody makes it under the fence but Buzz gets stuck since the rocket is still attached to his back. Woody goes back to spring Buzz lose but the car drives off when they hit the middle of the street. Buzz and Woody make a run for it to catch the moving van but Scud takes off after them. Buzz makes it up to the bumper and Woody is halfway up when Scud catches Woody and bites him on the leg*

Warlock: In real life he would have bitten the leg clean off but..again, its only a movie.

 

*Woody says “Take care of Andy for me!” as Buzz screams no and jumps on Scud to spring Woody to safety*

T: Only problem is how is he going to get Buzz now?

 

*Woody opens the latch to the van and finds the box of Andy’s toys. He opens it and the toys are surprised to see him. He pulls out RC and the remote. He kicks RC off the van and Rex screams “Ahhh he’s at it again!” Woody steers RC until he finds Buzz underneath a car. RC is glad to see him and Buzz hops on. Potato Head screams “Get him!!!” and the toys make their way out of their perspective boxes. Woody frantically tries to steer RC and Buzz back to the van but the toys catch him and beat the crap out of him*

Warlock: A body slam!

 

*Meanwhile RC and Buzz race toward a 4 way intersection and damn near get run over, meanwhile the cars swerve into each other to avoid nailing Scud and they trap him in a circle*

Warlock: The insurance companies are going to clean up.

 

*Finally Andy’s toys toss Woody off the van just as RC and Buzz catch up with him. Woody steers RC back to the van where Lenny notices Woody and Buzz riding RC back. Bo confirms it that Woody was telling the truth all long and now the toys are remorseful. Bo tells Rocky to hit the ramp and he does*

Warlock: How does anyone driving behind not notice all this going on?

T: As you said, its only a movie.

 

*Just as RC nearly makes it to the ramp, Slink stretches so he can grab them. Slink starts to get pulled and RC begins to slow down. Woody and Slink tells Buzz to hit it but RC’s batteries are running out. Sure enough, RC runs out of juice, Slink wipes out the toys when he ricochets back to the fan and Woody/Buzz come to a full stop as the van drives away*

Warlock: Movie’s over, let’s go home.

T: No its not!

 

*Woody is depressed but Buzz remembers the rocket. Woody pulls the match out of his holster and thanks Sid. He goes to light the rocket but an oncoming car blows the match out before he can light it*

Warlock: They can’t do anything right.

 

*Woody falls to the pavement crying but notices his hand smoking, the glare from Buzz’s helmet is burning a hole like the magnifying glass trick. Woody pulls Buzz’ helmet and angles it where the rocket ignites. They celebrate but Woody remembers rockets EXPLODE! Sure enough…zooooom! Meanwhile back in the van, My Pal tries to put Slinky back together as Lenny notices RC/Woody/Buzz are coming up fast. The rocket then levitates and lifts allowing Woody to let go of RC and the remote at the right time. RC cleans out Mr Potato Head for good measure*

Warlock: Take that you antagonist.

 

*Meanwhile Woody and Buzz shoot straight up and away. Woody says this is the part where they blow up*

Warlock: Oh nooooooo.

 

*Buzz says not today. He pushes the button to flick his wings which cuts through the duct tape*

Warlock: Yeah right!

 

*The rocket explodes and Buzz flies down toward the van. Woody says “Buzz you’re flying!” Buzz “This isn’t flying, this is falling with style!” Buzz overshoots the van and Woody wonders why. Buzz “We’re not aiming for the truck!” Buzz then lands into the sunroof into the car. Andy perks up and notices Woody and Buzz in the box next to him. “Mom, Woody! Buzz!”

Warlock: Is this kid stupid, if he brought the box which he knew there was nothing in it…they just magically appeared? Blah…only a movie.

 

*Andy rejoices and Woody and Buzz wink at each other*

T: Awww yay!

 

*Christmas time at Andy’s new house brings about the same recon plan as his birthday only the troops are in the Christmas tree. This time Buzz is nervous that Andy will get an even better toy to replace him. Bo uses her Shepard’s hook to pull Woody in for a kiss under the mistletoe*

Warlock: Mushy mushness.

 

*Rex says he hopes Andy gets another dinosaur, a leaf eater*

Warlock: It should be noted that in this room, both Woody and Buzz’ posters are all over. Guess this one was more spacious than the previous. Either that or nearly losing Woody made him appreciate Woody more.

 

*Andy’s mom says Molly will open the first present and its MRS POTATO HEAD! Hamm “Way to go Idaho!” Potato says “I gotta shave” and removes his mustache*

T: My husband has a beard. I love it.

 

*Sarge says Andy will be opening his first present and Woody hops up on the bed with lipstick all over his face and Buzz asks if he’s nervous. Woody “What could Andy possibly get that is worse than you?” All of a sudden a dog barks and Andy says “Oh wow a puppy!” Buzz and Woody laugh nervously at each other….THE END. The credits roll with “You Got a Friend in Me” again*

Warlock: We made it, hooray!

T: It was good.

Warlock: That was one of my favorite movies of all time. It had a great plot, great animation, outstanding actors….it had it all. Thank you very much for that trip down memory lane.

T: You’re very welcome.

 

*Warlock and T walk back out to the stage where another woman is interviewing*

Woman: I don’t like horror. I don’t like action. I don’t like war. I don’t like….

*America goes to grab his carbine rifle but Wallstreet stops him as Warlock speaks*

Warlock: Sorry the position has been filled.

*The woman leaves*

Wallstreet: For real?

Warlock: For real, welcome aboard Lady T.

*Warlock shakes her hand and America and Walltreet fall over each other trying to rush the stage. T laughs*

 

*Back at present time not only is America asleep but so is Neyz, Jennifer and Wallstreet. Warlock and T are wide awake*

Warlock: And that’s how T was hired. Soon after America and I watched Don’t Look In The Cellar and the rest is history…..hello? Hello?

 

*Jennifer is asleep*

Warlock: Have a pleasant evening.

153. Wreck It Ralph (2012)

index

*When we last left off, the members of  Warlock’s Realm were being interviewed by Jennifer Livingston of La Cosse’s morning news. Warlock revealed his first ever commentary wasn’t actually what was on the site, but a demo he had dne a year prior. On top of that, he had done another demo only this one was with Neyzor Blades*

Jennifer: So wait, The Enforcer was not your debut Neyz?

Neyz: It was, but I took part in the demo.

*Mr. Wallstreet and Mr. America look over at her, Lady T as well*

All: Huh????

Warlock: I didn’t want to do Wreck It Ralph alone after the Dirty Harry demo took too long, so I had Neyz join me. I remember it  was December 2014 just a little before Christmas. I remember it going a little like this…

 

*The Warlock is in his lair setting up a camera. He’s wearing a white t-shirt, blue jeans and white sneakers. Neyzor Blades is finishing her makeup in the recliner*

Neyz: Why do I have to dress like this?

*Neyz is wearing a black dress with fishnets with spiked boots*

Warlock: Its your character.

Neyz: Not really, its my Halloween costume.

Warlock: Oh hush.

Neyz: Ready.

*Warlock sits in the middle of the couch*

Warlock: Testing 123, testing 123…this is a demo.

Neyz: I don’t care if you can’t hear me.

Warlock: Ah Wreck It Ralph, the culmination of 30 years worth of video games. While The Wizard cashed in on the Nintendo craze, this one is more a children’s movie that tips their hat to some of the classics that came out over the years. There are hundreds of game references and dialogue appropriate for all ages. The movie is basically a behind the scenes world of what video game characters do when the arcades clear out. Think Toy Story only with arcade games. A whole generation had grown up with video games and this is something both them and their young children could enjoy. Written and directed by Rob Moore, it was released November 2, 2012. It was a smash hit but is it as good as advertised? Let’s find out.

 

*We open at Litwak’s arcade with someone dropping a coin into the game Fix It Felix Jr. A narration from Ralph (John C Reilly), the heel of the game, tells us his backstory. He was a giant living in a tree stump when movers bulldozed his stump to the garbage dump. He comes out and notices the forest he was living in has been replaced with a giant hotel. Enraged, HE’S GONNA WRECK IT! Its up to the hotel’s maintenance man Felix Jr (Jack McBrayer) to save the inhabitants from Ralph’s onslaught with his magic hammer*

Warlock: This is a reference to Donkey Kong/Donkey Kong Jr and a good one too*

 

If the kid playing the game fixes it, Felix gets a medal and the inhabitants gang up and toss Ralph off the roof into the mud below*

Neyz: How would he survive a 30 foot fall?

 

*A graphic shows “30 years ago”*

Warlock:  The game has been around since 1982….impressive run.

 

*The game itself has been at Litwak’s for 30 years while other machines have come and gone*

Warlock: A sad part of life is that arcades have mostly died off due to home consoles improving over the years, but even if you find an arcade, the games are more recent than classic*

 

*Ralph even mentions who knows what happened to Asteroids and Centipede. Once Litwak (Ed O’Neil) closes the arcade, the game characters come to life ala Toy Story. Yuni Verse (Jamie Sparer Roberts, the casting director for the film) from Dance Dance Revolution tells everyone the cost is clear while Ken (Reuben Langdon) and Ryu (Kyle Hebert) from Street Fighter 2 stop fighting and agree to head to Tapper’s*

Warlock: That’s the voices of Ken and Ryu from the actual recent game.

 

* Back to the hotel, Felix leads the Nicelanders for a post-game party while Ralph goes home to the dump and wishes for a better life*

Warlock: Nice name. See what I did there?

Neyz: Pleaseeeeee.

 

*When we finally see Ralph, he’s actually been telling his story at BAD ANON, a group therapy session for all the video game bad guys. Among the dignitaries are Bison (Gerald C Rivers) and Zangief (Rich Moore, the director of the movie) from Street Fighter 2, the Zombie from House of the Dead (Raymond Persi), Satan (Martin Jarvis) from Satan’s Hollow, Dr Robotnik from Sonic the Hedgehog, Bowser from Super Mario Brothers, Kano (Brian Kesinger, listed in the credits as ‘Cyborg’ for child protection purposes) and Smoke from Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, Neff from Altered Beast, Mishaela from Shining Force, Beholder from Eye of the Beholder, 1011001 from Cyborg Justice and the host, Clyde (Kevin Deters) from Pac-Man*

Warlock: What a tag team. Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat villains together.

 

*After Ralph is finished, Zangief goes next. He says that he crushes heads between his thighs like sparrow eggs and asked himself why he has to be a bad guy. He then realizes if he’s a good guy, who will crush heads like sparrow eggs? “Zangief, you bad guy…but this does not mean you are bad GUY.”

Warlock: I’m stealing that line.

Neyz: I’m sure you will.

 

*Ralph doesn’t get it so Zombie pipes in and says labels don’t define who you are and you must love yourself. Kano then jumps up and rips out Zombie’s heart like his finisher in Mortal Kombat. He says “Yeah, in here!”

Warlock: Normally that would be scary for kids but Zombie’s already dead, so he’s unaffected.

 

*Clyde then asks why Ralph’s finally going to Bad Anon after years of saying no and Ralph answers its the 30 year anniversary of his game being released. Satan says congrats and Ralph says “Thanks Satan.” Satan “Uh..its Saitine…actually.”

Neyz: How classy.

 

*Ralph then declares he doesn’t want to be a bad guy anymore. This causes an uproar where Bowser shoots flames out of his mouth and Clyde turns blue like in Pac-Man. Kano tells him he can’t mess with the program and Bison asks if Ralph is “going Turbo.”*

Neyz: What the hell is Going Turbo?

Warlock: That reference will be explained later.

 

*Ralph asks is it so much to ask for something better like medals, pies and recognition and the Zombie answers “yesss.” Clyde tells him they can’t change who they are and Zangief tells him “one game at a time Ralph.” Then they hold hands and make the proclamation: “I’m bad and that’s good. I will never be good, and that’s not bad. There’s no one I’d rather be than me.”

Warlock: I need to say that.

 

*The credits roll as Saitine tells Ralph to hang in there as Bison says he can’t do the snacks next week. In a cool graphic, little sprites of everyone are shown leaving the inner circle of Pac-Man where Clyde usually lurks. Ralph steals the cherry underneath before he leaves*

Neyz: That looks really cool.

 

*The next scene shows nearly every arcade and console game character in Game Central Station as Ralph gets stopped by the Surge Protector (Phil Johnston, the guy who wrote the screenplay actually) for munching on the cherry. Sonic The Hedgehog (Roger Craig Smith) does a PSA saying don’t die outside your own game or you won’t regenerate*

Warlock:  Very important later actually.

 

*Ralph spots Q’Bert and his gang with a sign reading “Unplugged, please help.” Basically when a game is unplugged, the characters have to abandon their games and are homeless*

Neyz: That’s so sad.

 

*Ralph gives part of his cherry to Q’Bert but gets stopped by the Surge Protector before he can make it back. Back at the hotel Felix and the Nicelanders are having a 30th anniversary party which is DJ’d by Skillrex himself and bartended by Jaxson De Box from Snacks N Jaxson*

Warlock: Hey look its Skillrex if you look closely.

Neyz: No way!

 

*Ralph gets jealous that Pac-Man was invited and decides to crash it. Some of the Nicelanders that freak out are Roy (Skylar Astin), Mary (Edie McClurg), Don (Jess Harnell) and Deanna (Rachael Harris). Felix, babyface that he is, decides to invite Ralph in for cake after Glenn the Turtle (Tucker Gilmore) from Frogger says its being served*

Warlock: That’s a reference no one would get.

 

*One of the Nicelanders, Gene (also voiced by Raymond Persi), ain’t so nice and he’s miffed. After Ralph inadvertently kills Felix (he regenerates since its his game) an argument ensues. Ralph pleads his case that he just wants to be accepted for once, Gene telling him that he’s just the bad guy and deserves nothing. Ralph says Felix gets enough medals and deserves his own, then asks if he gets his own medal will he be able to live in the hotel? Gene says sure but that’ll never happen since he’s just the bad guy. Ralph gets mad and inadvertently smashes the celebration cake all over the place and all over Pac-Man too*

Warlock: Pac Man is like “The hell with you too Ralph!”

 

*Disgusted, Ralph heads to Tapper’s, yes, from the arcade game*

Warlock: Can’t think of a better hang out than that.

 

*Tapper himself (Maurice LaMarche) tells him to check the lost and found for a medal. He finds a mushroom from Super Mario Brothers, a Metal Gear Solid exclamation point and a pair of Zangief’s tights*

Warlock: I’ll take the exclamation point, you can have the tights.

Neyz: I think I’ll pass.

 

*Ralph runs into one of the characters for a first person rail shooter Hero’s Duty named Markowski (Joe Lo Truglio). He cries hysterically that if you beat the game, you win a medal. Ralph gets a brainy idea to go get a medal*

Warlock: Here’s the plot of the movie.

 

*Ralph then steals the guy’s suit and runs over Q’Bert on his way to join Hero’s Duty. There we meet Calhoun (Jane Lynch) the brash, outspoken tough as nails leader of the human resistance against the cybugs. Ralph screws up the shooter, Moppet Girl (Stefanie Scott) the nerdy arcade geek, and she storms off*

Warlock: That would have drove me crazy if that happened to me. I would have punched a hole through the game.

Neyz: Yeah, and then you’d be arrested and sued for damages, moron.

 

*Moppet Girl wants to play the racing game Sugar Rush which the bait is there are new racers daily. The problem is some fat kid and his friend are hogging the game*

Neyz: I would have kicked that kid in the balls.

Warlock: There’s hope for you yet, Neyz.

 

*Ralph gets chewed out by Calhoun and he sneaks away as the beacon (think giant bug zapper) fries all the bugs*

Warlock: That’s important later.

 

*With Ralph busy climbing the tower in Hero’s Duty, obviously he’s not in his own game, so when Moppet Girl puts a quarter in Fix It Felix Jr, there’s no Ralph to demolish the building*

Warlock: Alright! Ya beat the game! Congrats!

 

*Felix tries his best to improvise but then runs off screen to find Ralph. Moppet calls over Litwak who says they’ll have the electrician look at the game in the morning and if they can’t fix it, they’ll have to pull the plug. Litwak puts an out of order sticker on the game which causes the Nicelanders to realize that without Ralph, there is no game*

Warlock: Just goes to show that you can’t have heroes without villains.

 

*They freak out and Felix does his best to calm him down when Q’Bert comes to visit with the news. Ralph has gone TURBO!*

Neyz: What does that mean?

Warlock: More on that later.

 

*Felix hops over to Hero’s Duty where he almost gets shot up by Calhoun and her men*

Warlock: THERE’S THE ALIEN SHOOT EM!!!

Neyz: Remember, if you die outside your game, you’re history.

 

*Felix explains to Calhoun that Ralph was supposed to be there when they hear a bang coming from the tower. Ralph has climbed all the way up and avoids a sea of eggs to grab the medal*

Warlock: Right out of Alien.

Neyz: What’s that?

Warlock: Oh you’ll see someday.

 

*Once the medal is grabbed, General Hologram (Dennis Haysbert) appears and showers Ralph with praise for beating the game. While Ralph thanks the other holograms as he makes his exit, he steps on one of the eggs, causing it to hatch*

Warlock: Nice going asshole.

 

*The cybug attaches to Ralph’s face and he stumbles into an escape pod, which launches him clear out of the game, through Game Central Station and straight into Sugar Rush, a Candyland based racing game. Ralph and the fully grown bug get ejected from the pod, the bug falling in a pit of sugar while Ralph lands in a candy cane tree*

Neyz: I’m getting a sugar rush just looking at this.

 

*Ralph notices his medal is gone into another tree so he begins climbing. He’s interrupted by Vanellope (Sarah Silverman) the quirky, annoying, fast talking homeless bum of the game. After a brief exchange of insults, Vanellope beats Ralph up the tree and steals his medal*

Warlock: He is not having a nice day.

 

*Ralph falls into what appears to be a lake of green taffy. Back at the station, Surge Protector explains to Felix, Calhoun and her right hand man Kohut (Brandon Scott) that Ralph went to Sugar Rush. Calhoun explains to Felix that the bug doesn’t know its in a game so it’ll tear the game apart then every game in the arcade*

Warlock: Everybody panic!

 

*Kohut explains to Felix Calhoun’s backstory of how a cybug ate her husband as they were getting married, which is why she’s as nasty as she is*

Warlock: That is depressing.

 

*Felix convinces her that he’ll go to Sugar Rush to fix it since that what he does*

Neyz: Awwwwww.

 

*Meanwhile in Sugar Rush, all the racers are lined up for a big race*

Warlock:  Its funny how all the fans in the stands are gumdrops, popcorn, lollipops, etc.

 

*The MC is a sour patch kid, Sour Bill (also voiced by film director Rich Moore) and he announces the “rightful ruler, King Candy.” King Candy (Alan Tudyk) makes his grand entrance “Have some candy!”. The concept of the game is “new racers daily”.

Neyz: How can that be?

Warlock: Well apparently all the racers in the game have a race before the arcade opens and the first 9 across the finish line are the ones who will be selectable when the arcade opens.

 

*Some of the racers include Taffyta Muttonfudge (Mindy Kaling), Candlehead (Katie Lowes), Rancis Fluggerbutter (Jamie Elman), Jubileena Bing-Bing (Josie Trinidad) and Crumbelina Di Caramello (Cymbre Walk)*

Warlock: Mindy Kaling as a heel.

 

*Candy explains that its pay to play meaning anyone who’s won before has to give up a gold coin in order to enter the race*

Warlock:  Kind of sucks for the ones that are never chosen and therefore, never win.

Neyz: That’s apparently Vanellope.

 

*When Vanellope uses Ralph’s medal to get into the race, everyone freaks out. Apparently because she glitches, everyone hates her. By glitches, she glitches like electronics do. Candy calls for security, a donut named Duncan (Horatio Sanz) and an éclair named Wynnchel (Adam Carrola), both are dressed as cops*

Warlock: That is hilarious.

 

*Vanellope runs away only to be met by Ralph who’s totally covered in taffy. Everyone in Sugar Rush from security, to the racers to even the popcorn fans freak out and run away*

Warlock: Heh, I don’t mean fans of popcorn, I mean the fans ARE popcorn.

 

*In chasing Vanellope, Ralph does what he does best…wreck everything. Before he gets to her, he gets trapped and encased in a giant cupcake*

Warlock: This is making me hungry.

 

*Vanellope gets away as Duncan and Wynnchel attack Ralph with nightsticks. Taffyta enlists Candlehead and Rancis to go find Vanellope as Candy restores order. He demands Ralph be brought to his castle*

Warlock: What a mess, we’ll be lucky if anybody survives.

Neyz: I’d love to see the popcorn carried out on a stretcher.

 

*At the castle, the guards outside are Oreos. They chant “Or-e-oh”*

Warlock: A tip of the hat to Wizard of Oz and pretty clever too.

 

*Candy enters in his race car and has Sour Bill rip the taffy off Ralph’s face to identify him. He immediately realizes its Wreck It Ralph*

Warlock: That was pretty odd.

Neyz: What?

Warlock: No one else in the game knows who that is but Candy does…wonder why?

 

*Candy grills him and Ralph explains he won the medal in Hero’s Duty and just wants it back. Candy asks if he’s “gone Turbo” like Bison and Q’Bert mentioned earlier*

Neyz: Huh?

Warlock: And once again I’ll explain later.

 

*Candy’s ready to battle but Ralph says “one of your little children of the candy corn stole my medal.”

Warlock: Hahahhaa

 

*Candy realizes Vanellope used the medal to buy her way into the race and explains to Ralph that the medal is gone and nothing but code. Ralph says he’s not leaving without his medal and Candy says yes he is. He wants him out of the cupcake and on the first train out and if he ever comes back, he’ll be locked in the Fungeon*

Warlock: Yes, that’s how he says it.

 

*Candy drives off to find Vanellope as Duncan revs up a chainsaw, causing Ralph to freak out and scamper away. Ralph busts through the wall and escapes the cupcake. D and W call for the devildogs*

Warlock: Better than rampaging twinkies.

Neyz: Haha.

 

Ralph escapes using the Darth Vader breathing sound, sees a crew of racers and runs off to try to convince one of them to give up the medal if they win. While hiding nearby, the crew surround Vanellope and her pedal pushing car (think Flintstones) and bully her around. Taffyta being the leader leads Candlehead, Rancis, etc in breaking her car and she shoves Vanellope into a puddle of chocolate*

Warlock: What a heel!

 

Ralph can take no more and scares off the “rotten little cavities” as he calls them. Ralph confronts her and Vanellope explains she was going to give the medal back at the end of the race and if he’s that angry why doesn’t he go get another one. He says he won it in Hero’s Duty which causes back and forth “doodie” jokes*

Warlock: Kids movie, gotta love it.

 

*Ralph says she better get the medal back and she says unless he’s got a go-kart hidden in the fat rolls on his neck, she can’t. Ralph throws a tantrum and busts open a jawbreaker which impresses Vanellope*

Warlock: This is making me want to take an insulin shot.

 

*She then strikes a deal with Ralph to break into the go-kart factory and get her a new kart, for if she wins, she’ll give him the medal back*

Neyz: Awwww yay.

 

*Meanwhile Felix and Calhoun find the empty shuttle and speculate what the heck Ralph was thinking. Felix mentions he may gave “gone Turbo” and Calhoun asks what that means. When the arcade first opened, there was a racing game called Turbotime. The playable racer Turbo loved winning and being number 1. So when Roadblasters came out, Turbo got jealous. He left his game and purposely sabotaged Road Blasters, getting both games unplugged*

Warlock: Wow what an asshole.

Neyz: Can you imagine that really happening?

Warlock: “What are Ken and Ryu doing in Mortal Kombat? Why are they kicking the shit out of Liu Kang?”

 

*Back in Sugar Rush, Calhoun and Felix get caught in the Nesquiksand. Calhoun beats him up so the laffy taffy get long enough for them to climb to safety*

Neyz: Awwww he loves her.

 

*Meanwhile below the surface, the cybug creates a nest*

Warlock: Aliens.

 

*Back to Ralph and Vanellope, they sneak by the security station guarded by Beard Papa (John DiMaggio)*

Warlock: Useless information but Beard Papa is the real life mascot for a successful Japanese bakery, think Dunkin Donuts but in Japan.

Neyz: How the hell do you know that?

 

*Ralph and Vanellope break in the factory and work together with various hijinks to make the car. The best being Ralph’s exclamation “UNDERPANTS? NOOOO!!!”. The car comes out looking ridiculous but Vanellope loves it*

Warlock: Underpants? Nooooo!

 

*Finally Beard Papa wakes up and calls King Candy. Just as Vanellope and Ralph put the finishing touches, Candy and security appears. Ralph squirts the King with glaze and tells Vanellope to step on it. Candy “He just glazed me, get them!” Only problem is Vanellope doesn’t know how to drive much to the chagrin of Ralph. He manages to make the getaway using his hands and makes it to Diet Cola Mountain, Vanellope’s hangout. Ralph explains to Vanellope that he lives alone in the garbage and the medal was going to change that. Vanellope gets it because winning the race would do the same for her. Ralph jumps up and down causing an explosion*

Warlock: Apparently the lava is diet cola and the rocks are mentos….you get the idea*

 

*Vanellope gives her sob story about how everyone says she’s not supposed to exist and that she lives in this mountain like a homeless lady. Ralph asks why she sticks around and she says she’s not allowed to leave. Ralph then pounds out a racing course and now we get a montage. Vanellope learns to drive in a montage with Rihanna’s Shut Up and Drive for soundtrack*

Warlock: Catchy.

 

*Duncan and Wynnchel report back to King Candy that they couldn’t find them. Candy and Bill head to a secret room with a Nintendo controller for a safety lock  and he punches in the Konami Code*

Warlock: Nice…..niceeeeeeeee.

 

*Its the code of the game. Candy searches through the code and finds Ralph’s medal, then applies it to himself. Everything in the game is connected through the code, except Vanellope which is discarded by the wayside*

Warlock: Another clue that something isn’t on the up and up.

 

*Back in the fixed escape pod, Felix checks out Calhoun but calls her “dynamite gal” which is apparently what Calhoun’s dead husband Brad (Tim Mertens, the Editor of the movie) used to call her, so she gives him the boot. Felix trudges up to Candy’s castle and Sour Bill answers. Felix says he’s looking for Ralph and Bill pulls a lever that drops Felix into the fungeon*

Warlock: Felix can’t catch a break.

 

*Back to Vanellope and Ralph, they come out of the mountain and she wonders if the gamers will love her. Ralph assures her they will and she runs back into the mountain to get something. Just then King Candy shows up and Ralph briefly chases him. The best part was Candy puts glasses on and Ralph just hits him with them. “You hit a man WITH glasses, that’s well played.”

Warlock: Great move!

 

*Ralph finally grabs a hold of him but Candy bribes him with the medal. Candy explains Vanellope can’t be allowed to race. If she does get in the top 9, gamers will choose her and she’ll glitch. She’ll glitch so much Litwak will think the game is broken and pull the plug. All the king’s subjects will be homeless and since Vanellope can’t leave, she’ll die with the game. Ralph argues that the gamers will love her but Candy counters with what if they don’t*

Warlock: Wow, didn’t even think of that.

 

*Candy tells Ralph to talk her out of racing and he reluctantly agrees. Candy drives off and Vanellope runs out. Vanellope then presents Ralph with a makeshift medal that says “To stinkbrain, you’re my hero.” Ralph then uncomfortably tries to talk Vanellope out of racing and she’s shocked. She refuses so Ralph has to get nasty and smash up the kart, causing her to cry out. “You really are a bad guy!” before running off*

Warlock: I love a good heel turn but that sucked.

Neyz: That was not a heel turn.

 

*Ralph grabs his medal and takes the train back to his own game. Only problem is, there’s no one left in the hotel but Gene. Gene explains that Felix went to find him but never returned. When he didn’t come back, everyone panicked and left plus Litwak is pulling the plug in the morning. Gene says he’s a man of his word and gives Ralph the key to the hotel since Ralph brought back a medal. Gene leaves and Ralph looks at his medal on the balcony*

Warlock: Blood money.

 

*Ralph throws his medal up against the arcade cabinet screen, causing the out of order sign to slide a little off. When it slides, he can see the Sugar Rush machine and clutches his makeshift medal. Then he notices Vanellope’s picture on the side of the machine and starts putting two and two together*

Warlock: Something stinks.

Neyz: Your feet.

 

*Back at Sugar Rush, Bill is sweeping up dust when Ralph confronts him on why if Vanellope was never supposed to exist, why is she on the side? Bill tries to escape but Ralph snatches him and says talk or get licked. Bill refuses and Ralph puts him in his mouth “Oh ho ho, they call you Sour Bill for a reason!” Ralph removes Bill and he’s ready to talk now. Vanellope WAS apart of the game but King Candy tried to delete her code. Bill says Candy’s also locked up everyone’s memory so they can’t remember why Vanellope isn’t supposed to be in the game. If she races and crosses the finish line, the game will reset and the memories will reset*

Neyz: So THAT’S why Candy is hellbent on keeping her out…but why?

Warlock: We got us a Scooby Doo mystery here but instead of a dog, we got Ralph to solve it.

 

*Apparently Vanellope was picked up by security and tossed into the fungeon with Felix. Ralph sticks Bill on a nearby lollipop and goes after them*

Neyz: A sour patch kid on a lollipop, goodbye tastebuds.

 

*Meanwhile Calhoun is searching for the cybug when she drops down a hole and discovers the cybug has laid thousands of eggs. Down in the fungeon, Felix tries to smash the prison bars with his hammer but since he fixes things, he just makes the bars stronger. Thankfully, Ralph busts in and makes the save. Felix rants and raves about the bad day he’s had and Ralph has no idea what its like to be a criminal*

Neyz: I don’t have to say boo to you!

 

*Ralph says that’s his life every day and that’s why he tried to be a hero for once. He begs Felix to fix the broken go-Kart and of course, Felix does. What a guy. They also break out Vanellope and everyone makes up*

Neyz: Yay.

 

Meanwhile the Random Roster Race is about to commence only Vanellope’s name is crossed out. Ralph, Felix and Vanellope are on their way though and Ralph explains she doesn’t have to win, just finish. She drops Felix and Ralph off at the start line and takes off. We then get a Mario Kart-esque free-for all where Candy and Taffyta’s crew wipe out the rest of the field until its just them and Vanellope. Taffyta tells Candlehead to ignite some cherry bombs and Vanellope kicks it into high gear. Taffyta taunts her until she glitches right in front of them, distracting the crew long enough for Vanellope to pull off a long jump while Taffyta and her crew plunge into a cupcake and out of the race*

Warlock: Take that you rotten little cavities.

 

*Down to Candy and Vanellope, we are interrupted by Calhoun punching Ralph in the face. Calhoun says they’re dead meat and as Ralph tries to reason that the cybug died, a whole SWARM of cybugs erupt and engulf the stands. Calhoun pulls out her rifle, jumps on her hoverboard and opens fire. She directs all the game’s subjects to the Station for safety*

Warlock: The shit just hit the fan.

 

*Ralph stands there like a crossing guard until he notices the finish line is open. If Vanellope can make it, the game resets and the bugs are gone. Only problem is the bugs are drawn by the finish line sign*

Warlock: They’re gonna eat the fucking thing, hurry up Vanellope!

 

*Candy and Vanellope go head to head which ends up with Candy plunging his car directly into Vanellope’s. He then gets up, pulls out his horn stick and tries to melee attack Vanellope. Back at the track, Ralph starts beating the crap out of various bugs when Felix tells him to look up at the screen. Vanellope manages to grab the stick and now Candy begins to glitch. Ralph and Felix are in shock as Candy reluctantly reveals himself to be…TURBO!!!*

Warlock: You can hear good ol’ Jim Ross now… “Bah gawd, it was TURBO ALL ALONG! OH MY GAWD IT WAS TURBO!”

 

*Candy/Turbo reveals he reprogrammed the game so he could race once more and he’s not going to let Vanellope ruin it*

Warlock: There ya go folks, THAT’S why Candy was hell-bent on keeping Vanellope out. Had she finished the race, the game resets, Candy goes back to being Turbo and most likely he’s thrown out of the game. Also explains how he knew Ralph when everyone else in Sugar Rush didn’t.

 

*Turbo tries to ram Vanellope into a wall but she glitches out of the way and he ends up driving right into the mouth of a cybug*

Neyz: Goodbye.

Warlock: No way, too early.

 

*Vanellope races to the finish line*

Warlock: There’s still 20 minutes left of movie time….uh oh.

 

*Another swarm of cybugs erupt and overrun the race track and Vanellope’s car, which veers offroad about a hundred yards from the finish line. Ralph and Felix grab her and say they have to get out of here, Vanellope pleading that she didn’t cross the line. As the cybugs engulf and eat the remainder of the track, Ralph reasons there is no line to cross now*

Warlock: Missed it by THAT much.

 

*Back at the game entrance, Vanellope can’t leave the game when Ralph tries to pull her through. Calhoun says she’s going to blow the place as Vanellope tells Ralph to leave without her. Felix asks what about the game and Calhoun says without a beacon, they can’t stop the bugs. Ralph remembers Diet Cola Mountain and takes Calhoun’s hoverboard. He tells Vanellope to stay with Felix and Calhoun while he goes to create a beacon*

Warlock: BRILLIANT!

 

*Suddenly the cybugs attack and Calhoun opens fire with Felix and Vanellope behind her. Ralph makes it to the top of the mountain and pounds away at the mentos. Just as he goes to deliver the final blow, he’s knocked backwards by a large tentacle. “Welcome to the boss level!” Turbo/Candy is now a giant cybug and he says that he’s now the most powerful virus in the arcade*

Neyz: Thats scawwry.

 

*Candy says he should thank Ralph but it’ll be more fun to kill him*

Warlock: Ooooh, kill in a Disney movie. I like it.

 

*A fight ensues where Candybug knocks Ralph around as Calhoun runs out of ammo at the entrance. She and Felix can leave but Vanellope can’t. Candybug uses its wings to grab Ralph and fly to the sky, making sure Ralph sees Vanellope bite it*

*Ralph then sacrifices himself as he breaks free from Candy’s grip for one final senton bomb while he recites the proclomation from B.G.A*

Warlock: There’s no one I’d rather be than me.

 

*Vanellope glitches through the bugs after him using her supersonic speed. Ralph plows into the mentos, causing them to fall into the soda, causing a massive explosion which causes a makeshift beacon. As Ralph plunges toward certain death, Vanellope appears with one of the other racing cars and catches Ralph just in time*

Warlock: Oh yeah we’re  supposed to believe that?

 

*Meanwhile the bugs all are drawn to the beacon, including Candy/Turbo, who is immolated*

Warlock: Since its not his own game, he’s deader than shit.

 

*Ralph lands in chocolate and the day has been saved. Felix kisses Calhoun on the cheek…who grabs him for a long deep one*

Neyz: Awwwww

*Felix fixes the finish line and Vanellope crosses it, resetting the game. Vanellope floats in midair and transforms into a princess. All the subjects and racers return as does their memory. Sour Bill with the lollipop still attached says. “Now I remember! All hair the rightful ruler of Sugar Rush….PRINCESS Vanellope.”

Warlock: Now you see why Turbo had to get rid of her when he reprogrammed the game.

 

*Taffyta begs for forgiveness and Vanellope decrees all those that were mean to her shall be executed, much to Calhoun’s delight. Taffyta starts crying as even Sour Bill looks confused but Vanellope says she’s just kidding*

Warlock: Awwww man.

 

*Vanellope ditches her princess dress for the outfit she’s worn the whole movie. Wynnchel asks without a princess, who’d lead them and she said she will…just not like Candy. President Vanellope von Schweetz*

Warlock: Good lord.

 

*Calhoun says the arcade’s about to open so Felix and Ralph must go. After a sob worthy farewell, Ralph and Vanellope exchange 2nd grade insulting goodbyes. Taffyta and her crew embrace Vanellope as the “out of order” sign is taken off Fix It Felix Jr. Mr. Litwak jumps for joy as the game is fixed since Ralph is back*

Warlock: I dont remember arcade owners jumping for joy when a game is fixed, do you?

 

*Back at Bad Anon, Ralph declares he’s taking it one game at a time to a much deserved applause. Ralph says the game’s the same but he’s finally getting positive attention from the Nicelanders. Plus, he got Q’Bert and the gang to help out on bonus levels to give them a home*

Warlock: Wouldn’t that be cool in real life to have Q’Bert assist Mario against Donkey Kong?

 

*Now Moppet Girl is the queen of the arcade and everyone gathers around her as she plays Felix Jr. He also had the Nicelanders and Felix build him a house and a shack for Q’Bert and his crew. Ralph was also best man at Felix and Calhoun’s wedding where there were no cybugs present to crash the party. Ralph says now the best part of his day is getting thrown off the roof because he has the best view of Sugar Rush and he can see Vanellope race*

Warlock: Still doesn’t explain how he survives the fall.

 

*As Ralph thought, the glitch makes Vanellope unbeatable and the gamers (Moppet Girl especially) love her. “I don’t need a medal, how bad can I be?” The credits roll with an amazing montage using 8 bit sprites of everyone in the movie*

Warlock: Now that was some good shit. Neyz your assessment!

Neyz: Huh?

Warlock: What did you think?

Neyz: About what?

Warlock: The movie you dope! You’re supposed to give your assessment.

Neyz: I liked it.

Warlock: Good enough.

*Warlock rises from the couch*

Warlock: Outstanding! One of the best movies I’ve ever seen. Why? It had it all. It was a perfect, easy to follow story with great voice acting, wonderfully written dialogue and it had something for everyone of all ages. Classic games, modern games, obscure games….everything was FUN. That’s the point of the movie, to have fun. It was cool enough for hardcore gamers but innocent enough to bring your children to. There wasn’t one pointless scene in the whole movie and it seemed like everyone involved did their best. The casting department deserved a big hand because everyone involved was an A-list actor or a veteran voice actor. Bottom line is the movie touched on two generations of gamers, the first and their children. If you’re looking for Casablanca, look elsewhere but if you want a good family movie or want to relax with some iconic video game characters, this one’s for you. I give it the perfect 10 out of 10, one of my favorites of all time.

 

*We switch back to La Cosse’s studio where Jennifer and the Realm crew are looking bored*

Warlock: And that’s how Neyz got in on it.

America: 4 hours later.

Warlock: Exactly, it took so long that I didn’t post it. Plus my forte was bad movies and this was one of the best I ever saw. It didn’t make sense for me to post something good back then.

America: I meant this interview is going for four hours at this rate.

Warlock: Shaddup.

Jennifer: So that’s how you got started?

Warlock: That’s pretty much it. I didn’t like the way Dirty Harry came off by myself and I thought Wreck It Ralph was too good to post. Those ended up being scrapped.

Jennifer: That’s an incredible story. So eventually Lady T joined you to round out the group?

Warlock: Oh yes….which reminds me of another story.

*Wallstreet, America and Neyzor Blades all groan and complain as Jennifer checks her watch and Lady T giggles*

America: *sings* This is the stor-y that ne-ver endssssss.

Wallstreet: I could walk back to Florida faster than this.

Jennifer: Its time for a commercial, we’ll be right back after this.

 

*TO BE CONTINUED*

152. Dirty Harry (1971)

Dirty

7 DAYS EARLIER

*The Warlock is on a Skype call with The Mysterious Benefactor*

TMB: You know you guys are a hit now?

Warlock: I’ve always known. I just didn’t expect it to be such a phenomenon.

TMB: You know every news station and talk show wants you on their shows.

Warlock: There’s only one person alive I’d allow interview me, and she wouldn’t get me without the rest of us going too.

TMB: Tell me who and I’ll hook it up.

Warlock: Jennifer Livingston.

TMB: Who?

Warlock: She’s the news anchor who stood up against fat shaming on national television. I don’t want Kimmel or Fallon, only her.

TMB: Alright, you got it.

Warlock: Just one more thing.

TMB: What is it?

Warlock: Mr. Wallstreet is coming.

TMB: He is?

Warlock: He is now. Get him on the horn. He wouldn’t miss this for the world.

PRESENT DAY

*Jennifer Livingston is sitting in a big chair on the set of News 8. She looks wonderful as usual*

Jennifer: Good morning La Crosse. Today is going to be a special day as we are going to conduct a special interview today. The nationally known Warlock’s Movie Realm.

*crowd applauds*

Jennifer: Let me introduce everyone. First is Lady T.

*Lady T struts out shaking her hips and clapping her hands. She’s wearing a sparking red dress and shoes. She shakes Jennifer’s hand and sits down on the chair furthest away*

Jennifer: Next is Neyzor Blades.

*Neyzor Blades walks out wearing a black and shite striped dress and sandals. She shakes Jennifer’s hand and sits down next to T’s left*

Jennifer: Third we have Mr. Wallstreet.

*Mr. Wallstreet walks out wearing a black, double knit suit with purple tie, brown clogs and normal shades. He shakes Jennifer’s hand and sits down next to Neyz*

Jennifer: Now we have the true star of the team, Mr. America.

*Real American by Rick Derringer plays and Mr. America walks out to a huge ovation. He’s wearing green camo fatigues, vest and hat along with black combat boots and aviator shades. He puts his hand to his ear and listens to the crowd, nods his head and shakes Jennifer’s hand. He poses for the crowd and sits down*

Jennifer: Last and certainly not least is the master himself, The Warlock.

*Something Wicked by Nuclear Assault plays as The Warlock levitates up from a trap door nearby. He’s wearing a black t-shirt, leather jacket, blue jeans, white sneakers and gargoyle shades. He shakes Jennifer’s hand and sits down*

The Warlock: Thank you Jennifer, it is wonderful to have us here.

Jennifer: You’re quite welcome, we’re honored to have you on here.

The Warlock: I must apologize for The Grand Wizard and our benefactor for not being here, but we showed up the best we could. Mr. Wallstreet here just flew up from Florida.

Jennifer: Wow, that’s a bit of a flight.

Wallstreet: Yes it was, but worth it.

Jennifer: So Warlock, the world wants to know how this all started.

Warlock: Well I’ve known Mr. America since middle school and actually I’ve known Mr. Wallstreet even longer than that, elementary school. The three of us went to the same high school together and have been colleagues ever since.

Jennifer: What about these two lovely ladies here?

Warlock: I met Neyzor Blades and Lady T in 2009, they bring an extra element to the commentaries that you normally wouldn’t get from the three of us.

Jennifer: Lady T and Neyzor Blades, what’s it like being the only two females?

Neyzor Blades: Its a pain in the ass sometimes. I want to watch good movies but Warlock and America pick some of the worst diarreah I’ve ever seen sometimes.

*The crowd laughs*

Lady T: That’s where I come in, I put on stuff I know Neyz and I would like and its our turn to torture Warlock.

Jennifer: At least its fair game at that point. Now this all started last year when the three of you got together right?

*Wallstreet nods his head and America smiles*

America: Yes, last July we got together for Final Ex…

*Warlock cuts him off*

Warlock: That’s not entirely accurate.

*The crowd ooh’s as Wallstreet and America turn and look at Warlock*

Wallstreet: What are you talking about? Final Examinaton was the first one we did as a trio.

America: The week before you and I did Don’t Look In The Cellar.

Warlock: Both true, but that’s not where it started.

Jennifer: So when did this all start? Even your own tag team members are confused.

Warlock: November 2014 was when it started, a whole year before Final Examination. I always wanted to do my own movie reviews and commentaries and finally I created a site where I could do that. I moved into the Lair that everyone knows and started doing demo’s of what I wanted to do. The first demo was Dirty Harry. I remember it going something like this….

 

*We flashback to November 2014, The Warlock is in his lair on the couch. He’s wearing a black t-shirt, leather jacket, blue jeans and white sneakers*

Warlock: Testing 123, 123 is this thing working? My name is…wait, that’s not right.  Hello, my name is……no wait, nobody needs to know my name. Welcome to My Movie Reviews, I’m……shit, I need a name.

*Warlock looks around*

Warlock: I’m your host….The Terminator, no wait…that won’t work. I’m your host The Warriors….no wait, that’s plural. Shit…wait a second.

*Warlock looks directly ahead on his tv and on top of it are 3 DVD’s. He reaches out and one of them flies directly into his hand. He makes fire appear in his right hand while he looks at the dvd cover in the other hand. He looks at the camera, looks at the box, looks at the camera, looks at the box. He closes his hand and smiles*

Warlock: I’m your host The Warlock. Tonight’s demo is a classic police drama from 1971 called Dirty Harry. This is the film that started the Dirty Harry series. Clint Eastwood was one of the legends in the Western movie business with iconic classics such as the Spaghetti Western Trilogy and Hang Em’ High. He also had been in World War 2 based Where Eagles Dare, another classic. The common theme to the majority of his movies were that they were set in the past, either in the old west or world war 2. Could the now 41 year old Clint play a modern character? Clearly, Dirty Harry meant yes. It was directed by Don Siegel and released on December 23, 1971. Originally it was supposed to be Frank Sinatra in the starring role but he suffered a wrist injury and couldn’t commit. Paul Newman was offered the role next but he declined and suggested Clint do it. Imagine either Frank Sinatra or Paul Newman saying the same lines? It doesn’t quite work due to their different styles. So let’s get started shall we?
*The movie opens with a healthy looking young lady (Diana Davidson) going for a swim*

Warlock: This movie is starting off good.

 

*There’s a maniac with a sniper rifle who tags her in the back*

Warlock: So much for her.

 

*The credits roll and Inspector Callahan (Clint Eastwood) finds the shell casing and a letter*

Warlock: A clue!

 

The Mayor (John Vernon) reads the letter which states that the killer wants $100,000 or he’ll kill “a catholic priest or a nigger”

Warlock: Those are fighting words in my country….but too bad we’re not in my country.

 

*Harry is chosen by the Chief (John Larch) and police Lieutenant Bressler (Harry Guardino) to get the killer*

Warlock: Harry Guardino in the house!

 

*Callahan stops for some coffee but he notices a homeboy parked in front of the bank with about a dozen cigarette butts on the ground. Harry smells a rat and tells Mr. Jaffe (Woodrow Parfrey) to call the cops while he checks it out*

Warlock: Nowadays people would claim Harry was being racist, but they can stick it in their hat.

 

*The bank is, in fact, being robbed. Harry then caps all of the robbers but not before they run over a fire hydrant and tags Harry in the leg, getting blood on his fresh suit*

Harry: What an inconvenience! By the way, if you can look closely, the movie showing on the marquee on the movie theater reads Play Misty For Me…Eastwood’s other movie he did in 1971.

 

*One of the homeboys is still alive so Harry comes over and points his gun at him. He then utters his iconic line “Do you feel lucky, punk.” The punk (Albert Popwell) “gots to know” if Harry is iut of ammo and Callahan pulls the trigger…click, out of ammo*

Warlock: He got lucky.

 

*Harry gets patched up by a doctor named Steve (Marc Herstens)*

Warlock: Scuba Steve, damn you!

 

*Police choppers seach the rooftops for the assassin*

Warlock: He’s on the loose.

 

*We go back to the station for Bressler to surprise Harry by giving him a partner. Enter Chico (Reni Santoni), and Callahan is about as excited as last night’s toast*

Warlock: He hates partners.

 

*Harry’s last two partners ended up in the hospital or stone cold dead*

Warlock: Im surprised Chico doesn’t immediately run away screaming with his hands waving in the air.

 

*Bressler tells Harry that he’ll do. Harry would much rather work with De Giorgio (John Mitchum) but instead he gets Chico who apparently was a light heavyweight boxer from San Diego State.

Warlock: Better off at San Jose State with Jack Elway.

 

*Callahan is unimpressed and they run into the portly De Giorgio in the next room. Chico innocently asks why he’s called Dirty Harry and Di Giorgio says he hates “Limeys, micks, hebes, dagos, honkies and chinks”. Chico asks what about Mexicans and Harry answers “Especially spics.”

Warlock: Ya see, its not racism if you hate everyone equally.

 

*Meanwhile The Scorpio Killer (Andrew Robinson) sees the ad in the San Francisco Chronicle that says the police need more time to pay him. Tearing up the paper in disgust, he then chooses his next target, a jiving black lady who has a conversation on a nearby bench. Scorpio locks and loads but the alert police chopper spots him and he beats a hasty retreat before they can identify him*

Warlock: Almost had him.

 

*Now later on in the night, Chico and Harry ponder how he could get away while they drive through the red light district. A police dispatch identifies Scorpio’s attire and Chico thinks he sees the guy as two local yokels jump in front of the car, causing Harry to call one of them (Don Siegel, the director of the movie) a hammerhead.

Warlock: Heh, thats the director of the movie.

 

*Finally, they spot someone running down the street with a tan suitcase like the one Scorpio carries his rifle with. Chico and Callahan get out and chase the man. Callahan sees him run into an apartment so he disturbs a nearby cat to stand on the garbage can it was occupying….only to find out its some civilian bringing a suitcase of clothes to his portly wife*

Warlock: False alarm.

 

*Just as the man undresses the woman’s top, Harry is pulled down by five members of the neighborhood watch and is beaten up as a peeping tom*

Warlock: Hahahaha

 

*Chico fires a warning shot and puts them against the wall. Harry tells him to let them go as they were just being concerned citizens. One of them even says that he was peeking in on Hot Mary (Lois Foraker) who pulls down the shades with her goods hanging out*

Warlock: Woah now, this movie got better.

 

*Chico can’t help but say “Now I know why they call you Dirty Harry” as Callahan walks away disgusted*

Warlock: Hahaha

 

*All of a sudden they get an 8-0-4 call from dispatch and they take off in hot pursuit. Apparently a man (Bill Couch) on the roof of a building can’t take this cruel world and he wants to take a swan dive into the afterlife*

Warlock: Harry is better off getting him to jump.

 

*Harry involuntarily goes to the top to talk the poor guy out of jumping. Harry then uses reverse psychology to get the jumper to take a swing at him. Harry then lands a right cross to the jaw, knocking him out but luckily Harry’s got him. They’re lowered by the fire chief to safety*

Warlock: Yeah they made it!

 

*Harry tells Chico THAT’S why they call him Dirty Harry, he does every dirty job that comes along*

Warlock: A man of the people.

 

*The next morning they are dispatched to look at the remains of a young black boy that was shot in the face. Upon entering the crime scene, a nearby woman (Mae Mercer) tells them the boy’s name was Charlie Russell and it was her son. Harry pulls the sheet off the corpse and Chico nearly vomits up his intestines*

Warlock: Mind if I eat?

 

*Sure enough, they find the 30-06 shell casing nearby proving that the killer was Scorpio*

Warlock: Another clue.

 

*Back at the station the Chief, Bressler, Chico and Harry go over patterns and discover that his next target will be at the local church*

Warlock: After all, in the letter Scorpio wrote he said he’d kill a black and a priest…and he just offed a black.

 

*That night Harry and Chico set up surveillance on a rooftop across the street from the church. Apparently the priest was warned he was a marked man but refused to let someone stand in for him to take a bullet. While looking for the binoculars, Harry spots a healthy looking young lady in her underwear…who strips them off*

Warlock: Hey woah!

 

*Two people come to her door but before she can strip them too, Harry spots the door to the roof open. He and Chico lock and load as a figure appears on the nearby roof. Chico shines the light and its Scorpio alright. Harry fires but misses and Scorp starts blasting with an uzi*

Warlock: Where the hell did he get that?

 

*After a brief shootout where the neon Jesus Saves sign bites it, he runs away*

Warlock: Couldn’t save the sign.

 

*Chico and Harry run down to catch him, Scorp blows away a police officer and gets away*

Warlock: D’OH!

 

*The next day Chico and Harry head to the station where Bressler looks at pictures of a 14 year old girl named Ann Marie Deacon (Debralee Scott) that apparently Scorpio kidnapped the night before. He enclosed a letter saying he buried her alive*

Warlock: What a humanitarian.

 

*He also says he’s upped his ransom to $200,000 in used 10’s and 20’s*

Warlock: Apparently huge stacks of 5 dollar bills won’t count.

 

*The letter also says that the girl has enough oxygen to last her until 3 AM and she has nice tits*

Warlock: So he’s a sicko as well as a murderer, lovely.

 

*The letter says bring the money by 9 PM or else. Also enclosed are locks of her hair, her bra and a tooth that was pulled out with pliers*

Warlock: I dont have a good feeling about this.

 

*Bressler assigns Harry to crack the case but tells Chico to hit the bricks. Chico scoffs and goes with Harry anyway where Harry gets a wire from Sid the electrician (Maurice Argent). Harry speaks into it and nearly blows Chico’s eardrum out*

Warlock: Hahahaha.

 

*Sid reminds him he only has to whisper and to kindly bring it back in one piece. Back at the Chief’s office, they’ve come up with the money. Harry takes the yellow duffel bag of money and Bressler escorts him to his office, telling him he may be in on a wild goose chase. Once inside he tells Harry to pay the man and leave*

Warlock: Watch, Harry flicks a switchblade and demands Bressler to give up his wallet.

 

*Harry asks for scotch tape so he can hide it on himself in case things fall into close quarters combat. Bressler says its disgusting that a police officer knows how to use a switchblade and Harry just ignores him*

Warlock: Ah the good ol days.

 

*Harry is now on the docks where a nearby payphone rings. He answers and its Scorpio asking if he’s got the money. He asks who he is and Harry answers that he’s a cop, drawing a long silence from the other end of the phone. Finally Scorp says he’s going to bounce him all over town to make sure he’s alone (just as Bressler predicted). Apparently he’s going to be running (no car, per order) all over town answering pay phones. If he talks to anyone or doesn’t answer, the girl dies*

Warlock: Ugh, reminds me to those timed missions in GTA 3.

 

*Scorpio tells Harry to hightail it to Forest Hill Station which causes Chico to take off in the car. Harry makes it to the station and Scorpio tells him to take the bus to the next phone located on Church, once again Chico takes off. Harry literally runs to catch the bus*

Warlock; Remember the wire can’t be heard in a tunnel so Chico can’t really hear him.

 

*Harry makes it to the next phone panting. Scorpio then says he’s going to make him run for the next one, Aquatic Park*

Warlock: Forest Gump would be proud.

 

*Harry hoofs to the park where he’s accosted by 3 thugs. They demand his wallet and Harry knocks two of them down before the third runs away when Harry pulls his .44 mag. As he approaches the next phone, some old guy answers it (Charles Murphy) which spooks Scorpio. Luckily for Harry, he rings back and Scorpio tells him to step on it over to Mt Davidson Park. Callahan looks tired but off he goes*

Warlock: That’s his cardio for the day.

 

*Scorpio gets the jump on Harry, Chico saves the day but gets shot up in the process. Harry buries knife into Scorp’s leg and he falls down a hill. Both Chico and Scorp make it to the hospital ok*

Warlock: Too much time left for this to be over.

 

*Callahan and Bressler get a call from the hospital that they treated a patient with a knife wound. Once there, its revealed Scorp is actually the guy who sells programs during football games and lives at Kezar Stadium*

Warlock: I should visit there.

 

*Di Giorgio and Harry beat feet to the stadium. They find Scorp’s hideout but no Scorpio. Apparently he’s limped away only for Harry to hear him and limp off himself in slow pursuit*

Warlock: Whos gonna limp faster?

 

*Harry chases Scorpio through the stadium until Di Giorgio hits the stadium lights, now Harry’s got Scorp in his sights. Scorpio surrenders and Harry plugs him in the leg*

Warlock: Now we question him.

 

*Scorp begs for his life and Harry takes him into custody rather than blow his head off*

Warlock: Movie would be over if that happened.

 

*Next they pull the girl’s body out of where she was buried and she’s very dead*

Warlock: Wow, they DIDNT save the girl.

 

*Next day at the Hall of Justice, District Attorney Rothko (Josef Sommer) chastises him for his use of force and lack of using Miranda rights, which means as soon as he’s healthy, Scorpio walks*

Warlock: God damn it Harry.

 

*Rothko says the rifle won’t hold up in court because of the illegal search without a warrant and Judge Bannerman (William Patterson) says they have no chance in hell to win a trial, all evidence including Scorp’s confession would be excluded*

Warlock: Wonderful justice system.

 

*Scorp goes free and he limps to a playground where Callahan stalks him. Next, he visits the Roaring 20’s strip joint with Callahan watching him like a hawk*

Warlock: Useless information but Road Warrior Animal once bounced at the Roaring 20’s in Minnesota.

 

*Next day Scorp limps to some abandoned building where he pays $200 to get beaten to a bloody pulp by a black man. It was to set up Callahan and claim HE did it*

Warlock: BRILLIANT!

 

*The press mob his stretcher as he fingers Callahan and the Chief grills him in his office. Harry says he’s been following him but he didn’t beat him up, citing that he would have beat him to death if it were up to him. After the obligatory checkup scene with Chico and his wife (Lyn Edgington), Harry vows revenge after revealing his own wife was killed by a drunk driver*

Warlock: She shall be revenged.

 

*Scorp walks into a liquor store where he asks the owner (James Nolan) how many times he’s been robbed. Owner says 14 and the last two were taken out on a stretcher. Scorp then breaks the 5th of Seagrams over the owner’s head, steals the owner’s gun, some bottles of booze and limps away*

Warlock: It was 5 dollars back then, imagine that now?

 

*Next day Scorpio boards a school bus and hijacks it much to the chagrin of the driver (Ruth Kobart). He then proceeds to sing Ol McDonald with the kids on the bus before we cut to Callahan walking into the Mayor’s office who reveals Scorp has once again demanded 200K or else he kills the 7 kids on the bus, plus the driver*

Warlock: Oh no anything but that!

 

*The Chief asks Callahan to take the money to him and he refuses, he’d rather kill him now. Mayor will have none of that and he yells at him*

Warlock: Zero…point…zero chance of him liking that.

 

*Meanwhile back on the bus, Scorp leads the kids in singing Row Your Boat. Finally one kid has enough and demands to go home which angers Scorp into smacking him. The rest of the kids are frightened and he flips completely out*

Warlock: So much for Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

 

*Once the bus reaches an overpass, there’s Callahan on the bridge. Scorpio freaks and Harry hops onto the top of the bus*

Warlock: Weeeee!

 

*Scorp fires a few rounds and knocks the screaming driver out, taking over the wheel. After a shootout, Scorp abandons the bus and takes off for a nearby mill. Another chase scene concludes with Scorp snatching a kid fishing in the creek*

Warlock: Last stand.

 

*Scorpio demands Harry drop the gun and Harry goes to do it…then whips up and pops Scorp in the arm. The kid runs away and now its one on one*

Warlock: Showdown.

 

*Harry repeats the same “lucky punk” line that he used on the bank robber. This time, Scorp reaches for his gun and Callahan blows him away into the drink*

Warlock: Say goodnight dick!

 

*He then takes his star out of his badge and tosses it into the drink as the credits roll*

Warlock: Obviously this was only supposed to be a one shot movie, he had no idea he’d be in four more if hes throwing his badge away.

 

The Warlock’s Assessment: I’m going to give it 9 out of 10. 1 point off because the ending was a little lame, but everything else from cast to soundtrack and dialogue went smoothly.

Final Grade: 9 out of 10 – Classic

 

*Warlock rises from the recliner*

Warlock: That was damn good. Highly recommended but only if you’re not left wing liberal. This was 1971 so politically correctness was non-existent. Lot of racist jokes and comments, lot of shoot em up bang bang and a lunatic killer on the loose. Not exactly family fun for all. Still, this was Eastwood at his best, capping bad guys with the accompanying one liners. For the most part the movie had you on the edge of your seat near the end. Remember this was 1971 so special effects weren’t really special. Films back then relied on visual and psychological effect. The best parts of the movie are the one liners more than the action. If you like action, old school police force, a decent support cast, a great heel and a great lead…this one’s for you. Have a pleasant evening.

 

*Back in present time. Jennifer looks stunned as Neyz, T, Wallstreet and America look at Warlock*

Jennifer: Well that was…lengthy.

Warlock: Well you wanted the truth, now you have it. That was technically the first one I did back in 2014.

Jennifer: So why wasnt it counted as the first?

Warlock: Because doing it myself wasnt fun. I didnt think it was good enough or funny enough. So I deleted it shortly after Mr. Wallstreet and Mr. America joined the cause.

Jennifer: Mr. America, were you aware if this?

America: Its news to me.

Jennifer: What about you Wallstreet?

Wallstreet: I had no idea.

Warlock: Of course they had no idea, they weren’t in on it yet.

Jennifer: What about you Neyz?

Neyz: I knew about it. In fact, I wanted no part of it at first. He kept begging me until I agreed to take part in the experiment.

Jennifer: Oh, you mean The Enforcer?

Neyz: Actually no….that’s the first one we posted, not the first one we did.

Jennifer: Wait, there’s another one?

Warlock: Yup.

*Wallstreet, Lady T and Neyz shake their heads as America kicks back and puts his hands behind his head*

America: Buckle up Ms. Livingston because we’re going overtime.

TO BE CONTINUED

151. Vile (2011)

Vile

*The Warlock opens the door to his lair. He’s wearing a black Men’s Warehouse suit with white undershirt, black shoes, black tie and gargoyle shades. Hes holding a wine glass of root beer*

Warlock: Welcome to my lair…welcome I don’t think so, but enter. Enter my lair if you dare. I’m your host The Warlock.

*Warlock does a spinning 360 with flames shooting out both hands before walking inside*

Warlock: Tonight is a special night here at…

*Mr. America is in the recliner wearing a brown Joseph A Bank suit, yellow tie, brown clogs and aviator shades*

America: Our 150th episode special was last night, why am I dressing up this time?

Warlock: Yes, Pokemon was our 150th episode special…but tonight is our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL!!

America: I don’t remember being married to you.

Warlock: No, of the Realm. Last year on this date we watched Don’t Look In The Cellar. Remember that?

America: I tried to forget that piece of crap.

Warlock: Well that’s what we did last year.

America: What, are we rewatching it?

Warlock: Hell no…I got something else planned. A fan request. We are watching Vile.

America: What is that?

Warlock: I have no idea, its a fan request, I didn’t pick it.

America: We’re sailing blind, lovely.

*Warlock takes his seat in the middle of the couch*

Warlock: So let’s get our one year party started, its time for Vile.

*The Warlock reads the tag-line*

Warlock: “A group of friends stop to pick up a hitchhiking woman only to end up getting drugged by her with a gas. They awaken to find that vials have been implanted in the base of their skulls which are of course instantly fatal if they are removed”

America: If they only just kept driving.

 

*Graphic “The root of violence is science without humanity”

Warlock: Thanks Ghandi.

 

*Movie opens with guy tied up*

America: He’s not doing so good.

 

*Doctor (Ceildih Lamont) in labcoat has guy (Christopher Reed) strapped to gurney as the opening credits roll with a really crappy song*

America: I guarantee you this is just a way to introduce the doctor as an evil person. This can’t be the hitchhiking kids.

 

*Doctor cuts guy open and kills him*

Warlock: That’s a lot of pain pills.

 

*Flower picking girl ponders life*

Warlock: Who are you?

 

*A couple sleeps in a sleeping bag. Flower Picking Girl tells Hot Girl she chickened out. Hot Girl says that’s because she’s pregnant. Flower girl goes to Pantless Boyfriend and they snuggle. They ask if they’d rather be locked in a room with spiders or snakes”

Warlock: I’ll take the snakes.

America: Me too.

 

*Boyfriend asks if she’d rather be in a hot room or cold*

America: Oh don’t worry, you’ll be locked in a room shortly.

 

*Boyfriend and Flower Girl banter back and forth*

Warlock: At least we’re getting character development.

 

*Hot Girl’s boyfriend says they have to go. They all pack up*

Warlock: Are we gonna get any names?

 

*Van drives off*

Warlock: Watch midget runs out and shoot at them.

America: The trailer said crazy doctor lady, not midgets.

 

*Pantless boyfriend pulls up to a gas station, the pump says out of order*

Warlock: It says out of order you idiot.

 

*Gas station dude (Larry Beck) stands there*

Warlock: That’s the movie’s executive producer.

 

*Hitchhiker Lady says goes to Pantless and asks for a ride*

Warlock: Oh he can give her a ride alright. Ride on Space Mountain.

 

*Pantless Boyfriend fills the one gallon tank for her. Flower Girl is mad at Hitchhiker and calls her a cougar. He says she’s barely a bobcat*

Warlock: Hahahaha

 

*Diane (McKenzie Westmore) is the Hitchhiker and Tayler (April Matson) is Flower Girl. Pantless Boyfriend remains un-introduced*

America: So, I can understand not picking up a stranger, but you didn’t see her or know her so where does she get off judging her as strange without even seeing her.

Warlock: Outstanding deduction my dear Watson.

 

*Pantless aims his mirror to check out Diane, Tayler shoots him a mad look*

America: Hahaha

 

*Diane starts moaning sexually at the static on the radio*

Warlock: I think that was Andreas Cantor lol

 

*Diane says she designed her own perfume. They pull over to Diane’s car. She gets out and says she’s going to get samples for the girls to try. She runs back with a mask and sprays the air with some kind of gas, knocking them out*

Warlock: That’s some powerful spray sunscreen.

America: Spray sunscreen??? Its the middle of the night…no light…why would it be sunscreen?

 

*The quartet is tied up and they wake up in a room with 5 others. Greg (Rob Kirkland), Blonde Girl, Asian Girl, Sam (Greg Cipes) and Julian (Ian Bohen) are looking at them. Greg pulls out Hot Girl’s fingernail with pliers and Julian asks what the fuck is wrong with him. Other Boyfriend gets up and beats the piss out of Greg. Pantless tackles Julian and everybody goes nuts*

Warlock: Wowwwww.

 

*Julian says he’s trapped down there too. Sam says they all need to see the video. The owner of the house (Maria Olsen) appears on tv and explains the situation. The device on the back of their heads is supposed to siphon off chemicals, pain induces those chemicals.  They have 22 hours to all reach a quota of pain juice*

Warlock: So they just beat the shit out of each other and go home, not bad.

America: Overly simplifed, yes.

 

*Pantless is Nick (Eric Jay Beck), Other boyfriend is Tony (Akeem Smith). Hot Girl is Kai (Elisha Skorman), Asian girl is Tara (Maya Hazen). Blonde Girl is still unidentified. Tony wants to leave but Tara says the video is for real. Sam says it was easy for them to be kidnapped. Tara screams at Greg, Sam says arguing won’t help*

Warlock: Nothing will help.

 

*Julian says he’s not splitting pain with anyone. Julian and Greg nlame each other. Julian starts screaming and crying to the security camera*

Warlock: Jesus Christ, settle down.

 

*Sam calls for a vote, play by the rules or fight back*

Warlock: Oh boy, 12 Angry Men.

America: There’s 9 of them.

Warlock: 9 Angry men…and women.

 

*Julian goes to rip off his device. He takes it off and immediately dies. Tony checks him for a pulse, he’s dead*

Warlock: That was easy, 1 dead.

 

*Tara says only the men should participate. Greg says he’ll personally torture everyone so no feminist crap*

Warlock: He’s right.

America: I’m not even gonna touch that subject.

 

*Nick holds Greg and the 6 others kicks the crap out of Greg*

Warlock: Oh ho ho what a shot!

 

*The beat down of Greg only brought the total to 7 percent. Sam says they need to have sex*

Warlock: God damn….

 

*Tara says she’d rather be tortured than fuck any of them*

Warlock: I don’t blame her.

 

*Tara grabs the pliers and they tie Greg down. Sam says they’ll stop at 14 percent. Tara starts beating him in the ribs with a piece of wood and whispers “I remember you”.  She rips out one of Greg’s fingernails.  Kai stabs him with a large fork*

Warlock: Heh, the two guys in the world who don’t cook trying to figure out kitchen utensils.

 

*Tara interrogates Greg about how he and Julian know what’s going on. She stabs him in the leg with a screwdriver*

Warlock: This is a masochist’s wet dream.

 

*Tara smashes Greg’s leg against the table. Nick shouts at Tara that he can’t escape. Tony calms everyone down. Greg tells Tara its her turn, she says “Fuck you”. Meanwhile Kai found tools and Tony says he’s keeping all his digits. Tara says not to play along and let them show themselves. Tayler says maybe letting the clock run out is the best idea*

Warlock: Way to rip off Saw 2.

 

*Nick says they have to play along because after what happened with Julian, he says they can be killed at any time. Tara protests and Tony yells at her, Sam tries to figure out what to do next.*

Warlock: You said that four times already.

 

*Blonde Girl takes Kai into the kitchen to smash a dish. We get a bad banjo song as Kai numbers broken dish pieces with her own blood*

Warlock: Terrible song.

 

*Everyone draws numbers. Sam has the lowest number. He says they’ll do it in the basement. Next frame is Sam getting the hot iron treatment. He makes Nick promise to leave his genitals alone. Nick says everyone deserves the same courtesy. Tara says fuck that and Tony yells at her again. Tony apologizes and starts ironing Sam*

Warlock: Mind if I eat?

 

*Sam says enough with the iron and just use the pliers. Tony pulls a fingernail out*

America: That’s gonna hurt.

Warlock: Owwwwwwwwwwwwww

 

*Nick rips another out as even Warlock and America cringe*

Warlock: Those things grow back right?

America: Pretty sure they do.

 

*Sam collapses after the torture is done. Nick apologizes*

Warlock: Who’s next?

 

*Sam staggers to a bedroom. Nick checks on him. They share character development while Nick thanks him for taking one for the team and restoring order.*

Warlock: Hey look,. character development.

 

*Sam asks for some gauze since he’s losing blood but its Nick’s turn. Sam staggers away as Nick says he wants to do it in the bedroom. Meanwhile Tayler is crying on the kitchen counter, Blonde Girl joins her. Tayler admits she’s pregnant and hasn’t told Nick yet*

Warlock: Tell him now, more pain!

America: No don’t. If he finds out, he won’t let anyone touch Tayler.

 

*Tayler then finds the pain pills Kai shoved in her stock and takes a few of them. Before Nick gets tortured Tara refuses to participate and Kai says Tara is right. Tayler is with them. Tony is pissed and calls them all cowards. Sam rips Nick’s fingernails off. Tara sticks him with a turn drill and drills into him*

Warlock: Oh that’s gonna hurt.

 

*Nick begs for mercy and we cut here. His pain percentage barely moves and they ask why. Sam says he has a high pain tolerance*

Warlock: Damn, sucks for him.

 

*Blonde Girl refuses to participate as Sam twirls a knife and says to go get her. Blonde girl cries and calls Tara an evil bitch*

Warlock: She’s right there.

 

*Lisa is Blonde Girl (Heidi Mueller) and she refuses. Sam grabs her but she fights back. Meanwhile Tayler tries to patch up Nick. Nick says he’s not going through this again. Meanwhile Sam has ripped out Lisa’s fingernails. Tayler tells Nick she’s pregnant. Meanwhile Lisa is finished with her round*

Warlock: Uh oh…

 

*Tayler tells the whole group she’s pregnant. Nick says he’ll take Tayler’s place. Kai sarcastically calls him Superman. Tayler reveals she had pills. Greg wants the pills and Tony says he deserves them for all he’s been through. Tara says no because they need his pain. Nick then reveals Tara’s plot to leave Greg there. She protests and Tony punches her down*

Warlock: THANK YOU!

America: Hah! Yah really.

 

*Someone makes a boiling pot of water. Kai, Tayler and Tony are gonna stick their arms in to fill their quota. Tony and Tayler do it but Kai chickens out. They do it a second time but Tara walks in with a knife and stabs Tony. The water falling on him. Tara goes to kill Tony and Nick punches her out. They all have her tied up. They’re going to sacrifice her and she says “Fuck all of you”

America: You had that coming.

 

*Greg taunts her and Tara says he’s a drug dealer that sells the shit that’s coming out of them. Tara then cuts Kai’s throat and she dies in Tony and Tayler’s arms. Nick, Tayler and Tony cry over Kai*

Warlock: Oh shit….their pain percentage is gonna go down because she’s dead.

 

*Nick holds Tony back from getting at Tara. Tony says she’s his*

Warlock: Get that bitch.

 

*Tony knocks her teeth out with a pipe wrench. Then he skins her with a cheese grater*

Warlock: Tommy Dreamer would approve.

 

*Tony pours alcohol on the wounds. Next frame is clock showing 57 minutes left with 87 percent finished*

Warlock: They almost made it.

 

*The group asks what to do next. Nick says the worst injury he ever suffered was a broken collarbone. Sam asks who’ll do the honors. Tony volunteers*

Warlock: This is gonna suck.

 

*Tony apologizes to Nick and smashes his collarbone in, then he smashes Sam and Lisa’s collarbones. He goes to smash Tayler but Tony stops. Nick says no and Tayler insists. Tony says he’ll take it instead. Nick smashes Tony’s collarbone and the graphic reads 100 percent. We get TV Lady congratulating them on a job well done*

Warlock: We got 20 minutes left, this can’t be it.

 

*TV Lady says to lean against the front door and they’ll be set free. Lisa goes to the front door and her device is taken off. Lisa leaves, then Sam. They hold up Tara to get hers off and Tony taunts her. Tony goes to Kai’s body as Nick watches the door. He picks her up*

Warlock: Oh no no, if his collarbone was broken he wouldn’t be able to pick up a pizza box let alone a woman.

 

*Kai’s device is taken off and Sam grabs her body. Tony is next and he walks out. Tony starts screaming and Nick gets his device off to go after him, leaving Tayler behind. When Nick gets out, Tara and Lisa are dead. Sam guts Tony with a knife and runs off. Tony says Sam is the traitor. Sam runs off as Tony says to Nick to go get him. Meanwhile Greg admits he IS a drug dealer to Tayler but didn’t know where it came from. Tayler drags him but Greg dies. The pain percentage goes down to 87 and Tayler screams*

Warlock: Ohhhhhh shit.

 

*Meanwhile Nick confronts Sam. Sam hits the security camera footage of Tayler running around. She pours bleach on her arm wound and slamming cabinet doors on her hand. Sam says he can’t let her go. She burns her back with a dish fryer and runs back to the main room. She drives a nail through her own hand*

Warlock: Wowwwwww

 

*The last act puts Tayler at 100 percent. Meanwhile Sam hits a switch. Nick, Tayler and Tony cry out in pain. Sam says it’ll take 10 minutes for them to die. Sam says they’re his 5th group and they were the nicest apart from Tara. He babbles but Nick guts him with a hidden knife, killing him*

Warlock: Bye bye Sam.

 

*Nick staggers around and flashes back to him and Tayler. Nick goes back to Tony and gives him the antitode but its too late, he’s dead. Nick cries out to Tayler but she doesn’t respond. Shes dead. Warlock stands and chucks his drink coaster at the TV*

Warlock: Oh that’s bullshit. The movie writer just spent the last 3 minutes torturing her only for her to die?

America: It got you pissed, huh?

Warlock: Damn right.

America: Movie did its job then.

*Warlock sits down*

Warlock: I’ll be goddamned. You’re right.

 

*Nick gets the main doors open to outside and he walks out*

Warlock: Anticlimactic at this point.

 

*Next frame is Nick at a diner all covered in tattoos. He drinks coffee and spots Diane across the street*

America: Oh ho ho ho.

Warlock: This just got better.

 

*Diane gets let out by a trucker on the side of the road. Nick knocks her out, puts Diane in the back of her own van, turns on the radio and the credits roll*

Warlock: Awww man, what a let down.

 

 

Mr. America’s Assessment: I’ll give it a 5. It was easy to sit through.

The Warlock’as Assessment: I give it 6. It had character development, good gore scenes, an easy to follow plot.

Final Grade: 5.5 out of 10 – Above average.

 

*Warlock rises from the couch*

Warlock: That was better than I expected. Actual character development, a decent twist, decent acting, good torture scenes but a lackluster ending. For a B movie I highly recommend this. That’s a wrap on this one, here’s to our one year anniversary and hope there are more in the future. Have a pleasant evening.

150. Pokemon: The Movie (1998)

pokemon

*Opening song*

I want to be….the very best…..

Like no one ever was…..

To catch them is my real test….

To train them is my cause……

*Suddenly the music stops. Mr.America jumps in front of the camera wearing green camo fatigues, vest and hat along with black combat boots and aviator shades*

America: Will you cut that out Warlock! What’s with the song.

*The Warlock is rattled as he turns off the stereo. He’s wearing a black t-shirt, blue jeans, white sneakers and gargoyle shades*

Warlock: Its for our 150th episode special.

America: Why do you need THAT song for our 150th special?

Warlock: In case you haven’t guessed, our 150th movie is POKEMON!

*America takes his seat in the recliner*

America: We’re doing a tv show?

Warlock: They made a full length movie after the third season of Indigo League, a farewell to the beginning so to speak.

America: If nothing else, it will be short.

*Warlock takes his seat in the middle of the couch*

Warlock: So let’s get our 150th episode started, its Pokemon The Movie!

 

*The Warlock reads the tag-line*

Warlock: “Scientists genetically create a new Pokémon, Mewtwo, but the results are horrific and disastrous.”

America: Your typical science experiment that goes wrong.

 

*The Narrator (Rodger Parsons) explain the history of life between man and Pokemon. Mew flies around as Narrator says the most powerful Pokemon is coming*

Warlock: That’s not ominous or anything.

America: Random bubbles?

 

*Mewtwo (Jaye Goede) wakes up speaking English. Random doctors mill around as Mewtwo escapes*

Warlock: The savage is loose!!!

 

*The doctor says to find Giovanni (Ted Lewis) as he explains that Mewtwo is a clone of Mew. Doctor says he’s greater than Mew. Mewtwo asks what becomes of him now and Doctor says the serious test begins. Mewtwo think that humans don’t care about him. Mewtwo gets pissed and says being an experiment cannot be his destiny*

Warlock: That’s one angry Mewtwo.

 

*Doctor says they dreamed of creating the strongest Pokemon*

America: I’d say you succeeded.

 

*Giovanni and Persian check out the damage Mewtwo created*

America: Look what you did.

 

*Mewtwo says he’s stronger than Mew as Giovanni says he sees him as a partner. Giovanni says they can control the world together. Giovanni says he can help Mewtwo control his powers. Giovanni says he can make him invincible*

Warlock: Talk about a deadly alliance.

 

*Giovanni has Mewtwo in a suit of armor and says Mewtwo needs to focus. He easily dispatches Onyx and a heard of Tauros for Team Rocket*

Warlock: Woah.

 

*Mewtwo wipes out Alakazam, Magnetron, Khangaskan and Arcanine but questions why he’s there. Giovanni says his purpose was to work for him, Mewtwo thought they were partners. Giovanni says he’s there to obey him, Mewtwo breaks free and says he stands alone. Mewtwo flies though the air*

America: Heh.

 

*Mewtwo sheds his armor and asks what his true reason for being is. He says he’ll purge the world of human and pokemon alike if they get in his way. Opening credits*

Warlock: I was hoping for the show theme.

America: Nope, you’re gonna get Pokemon: The First Movie.

 

*Narrator says Ash (Veronica Taylor), Brock (Eric Stuart) and Misty (Rachael Lilllis) sit around as Pikachu chases Togapi around. Meanwhile Ash is challenged by some random guy to a Pokemon battle*

Warlock: Who’s this guy?

America: I don’t know.

 

*Ash sends out Bulbasaur and his opponent sends out a Generation 2 Pokemon with a really crappy updated theme song*

Warlock: What was that?

America: I don’t know.

 

*Bulbasaur wins the match as the opponent sends out a Machamp. Ash counters with Squirtle*

Warlock: Its Goro.

 

*Squirtle wins and hugs Ash as someone looks in on them. The opponent sends out Pinsir, Venomoth and Golem. Pikachu wipes them all out with a thunderstruck. Trainer “Ohhhhh NOOOOOO”

Warlock: Hahahahaha

America: Hey, Golem is a rock, he should still be standing after that thundershock.

 

*Ash celebrates with his team as Team Rocket looks in. Jessie, James and Meowth are hungry*

Warlock: Oh look, Team Rocket is here.

 

*A Fearow flies overhead with a security camera attached. A Dragonite is sent as a messenger to Ash. Ash has been chosen to participate in a secret gathering. He has to RSVP now. Brock says yes, Ash says yes. Dragonite goes to return but Team Rocket stops it. Meanwhile Mewtwo waves his hand around*

Warlock: Is he throwing up a gang sign?

America: Pretty sure he’s not.

 

*Mew pops up and flies around. Mewtwo causes a perfect storm with his waving hand*

Warlock: Gyrados is like :”Hey what the fuck??”

 

*Ash, Brock and Misty run to a pokemon center. Raticade, Kingler, Venonant are amongst the Pokemon there. The patrons are trying to get to New Island meanwhile some lady says the water is rising, wiping out everything*

America: What?

 

*Officer Jenny (Lee Quick) tells everyone to stay ashore. Meanwhile one dude rides a Pidgeot and another rides a Gyrados toward New Island. Another trainer rides a Dewgong*

Warlock: Are we gonna get a name for this lady?

 

*Jessie and James pull up in a wooden skiff with horrible Dutch accents. Meowth is the decoration on the front of the boat*

Warlock and America: Hahahahahha

 

*A huge wave wipes out Jessie and James’ disguises. They go to say the motto but a wave wipes the boat out completely. Misty brings out Staryu to save her and Brock. Ash calls upon Squirtle to save him and Pikachu*

Warlock: Team Rocket is shit out of luck.

 

*Staryu and Squirtle pilot the others to safety. Warlock pretends to come up for air*

Warlock: We made it…we made it.

America: You didn’t do any work!

 

*Mew flies around*

Warlock: All he’s done is fly around so far.

America: Yeah? Your point is?

 

*Ash, Brock and Misty make it to New Island. The hologram is Nurse Joy (Megan Hollingshead) but she’s under a spell. Meanwhile Team Rocket rode Weezing and Arbok to safety*

Warlock: There’s no way Weezing would have survived that.

 

*Joy leads the trio to the master’s throne room. The world’s best Pokemon trainers are there. Only 3 trainers are there. Joy reveals that the storm was a test designed to weed out the weaklings. Team Rocket is locked out but they figure to get in through the water vent.Mew flies around more*

Warlock: This plan is all wet.

 

*Trainer 1 has Pidgeott, Scyther, Hitmonlee, Venusaur, Sandslash and Rhyhorn.  Trainer 2 has Seadra, Tentacruel, Vaporeon, Nidoqueen, Golduck, Gyrados. Trainer 3 has Wigglytuff, Rapidash, Ninetails, Dewgong, Vileplume and Blastoise*

Warlock: Meanwhile Ash is walking in with unevolved Pokemon. Wait, he’s got Pikachu, Bulbasaur and Squirtle…what happened to Pidgeotto, Charizard, Tauros, Kingler….aww fuck it.

 

*Joy says the master is on his way, he’s the greatest on earth. Its Mewtwo. Meanwhile Team Rocket sneaks around. Joy says Mewtwo is the master of the island and soon the ruler of the world. Trainer 2 says a Pokemon can’t be a Pokemon master. Mewtwo says he makes the rule as Brock says its psychic*

Warlock: The shit’s about to hit the fan.

 

*Mewtwo uses his psychic power to intimidate Trainer 2. He orders Gyrados to attack but Mewtwo reflects a hyper bean back to Gyrardos, defeating it. Mewtwo releases Nurse Joy and Brock catches her. Mewtwo tells Joy he used her for Pokemon knowledge. Misty calls him a bully. Meanwhile Team Rocket makes it to a secret lab where Pokemon are being bioengineered. Blastoise, Venusaur and Charizard. Jessie sits on the turn on switch to fire up the machine. The machine grabs Meowth. James “Who’s that Pokemon?” Jessie “Its Meowth”

Warlock: Hahahaha nice show reference.

 

*Meowth has been replicated as Mew flies around. Meanwhile the Doctor’s last message explains how they engineered Mewtwo out of Mew but it went berserk. Jessie asks who rebuilt the lab after Mewtwo destroyed it. Mewtwo says Pokemon are not slaves and can never be friends. Ash comes to Pikachu’s aid. Trainer 1 tells Rhyhorn to attack but Mewtwo easily stops it and sends him away. Mewtwo says his power is too great*

Warlock: Oh boy, a challenge.

 

*Ash challenges Mewtwo and Mewtwo triggers the bioengineered Pokemon.Blastoise, Charizard, Venusaur escape and Mew flies off after them. Team Rocket is scared. Mewtwo brings out the clones for a match*

Warlock: Holy crap, a stadium.

 

*Trainer 1 says his real Venusaur can beat the clone. Trainer 3 says her Blastoise can beat the clone. Ash brings out Charizard who tries to fry Mewtwo without Ash saying anything*’

Warlock: He’s not going to obey.

 

*Mewtwo “Your Charizard is poorly trained”

Warlock: Hahahaha that was a theme all through season 2.

 

*Mewtwo asks who’s first. Trainer 1 steps up and says he won’t underestimate him again. Trainer 1 has Venusaur go, but it gets blasted by the clone. Blastoise gets creamed by the clone Blastoise. Ash tells Charizard to use speed, not power. Charizard goes one on one with the clone. The clone curbstomps Charizard to win it. Mewtwo claims the real Charizard, Blastoise and Venusaur as his own. Mewtwo says he plans to take over the world and will use the real ones to generate more clones. Mewtwo sends out pokeballs to steal everyone’s pokemon. The only ones left are Pikachu, Bulbasaur and Squirtle. Ash recalls Squirtle and Bulbasaur but Mewtwo steals them right out of the pokeballs*

Warlock: Oh that’s bullshit.

 

*Ash blocks the pokeball attack and Pikachu runs for it and fries an onslaught of balls with a thundershock. Ash chases off after him. Pikachu is captured eventually and Ash follows the ball down the chute*

Warlock: Wonderful.

 

*All the Pokemon are in tubes. Ash calls the machine stupid*

Warlock: Hahahahaha

 

*Ash in the machine causes an overload. Pikachu escapes the ball and Ash hugs him as Team Rocket looks on. All the copied Pokemon run out but Ash ask where the real ones are.They all pop out of their balls in front of Team Rocket. All the real Pokemon are okay, Meanwhile in the stadium Mewtwo stands with his clones. Mewtwo says he’s sparing their lives for the moment and orders them to leave.Mewtwo says his vengeance draws near as the rest of the clones show up. Ash says he won’t let Mewtwo control the world*

Warlock: Nice imagery.

 

*Ash slowmotion walks out with the real Pokemon including Psyduck*

America: Hahaha.

 

*Ash says he challenges him. Ash takes a swing at Mewtwo but is dispatched*

Warlock: Hahahahaa now he’s resorting to fisticuffs.

 

*Mew saves Ash from death. Mewtwo is shocked. Mewtwo tries to destroy Mew but fails every time. Mewtwo says he will prove he’s better than the original. The trainers speculate that Mewtwo is just a clone as they go one on one. Mewtwo drops down the challenge, him and the clones against Mew and the originals. Mew says the real strength is from the heart as Meowth translates*

Warlock: Thank god for Meowth.

 

*Mewtwo says he’ll block special abilities and we’ll see who the stronger fighters are*

Warlock: HA! Psyduck ran off to fight, Pikachu just stood there.

 

*The clones and originals fight to a really sappy song. Psyduck’s slap fight each other*

America: Hahahaha

 

*Clone Pikachu knocksr real Pikachu goofy. Soon everyone drops. Joy says streetfighting is wrong. They’re not supposed to fight this way. Team Rocket says they’ll never fight again and Meowth yammers with his clone. Meowth says they need to come together. Mew and Mewtwo continue to battle as Ash climbs around the scenery*

Warlock: Is he done being Indiana Jones yet?

 

*Clone Pikachu continues to attack real Pikachu. Clone says to fight but Pikachu refuses despite being slapped around*

Warlock: Turn the other cheek motherfucker.

 

*Ash makes it back to the arena and says they need to stop the fighting. Brock asks how to stop it. Joy doesn’t know. Ash says to refuse to fight*

Warlock: How they gonna pull that off.

 

*Clone Pikachu is out of energy*

Warlock: Oh he rope-a-doped him.

 

*The lights go off at the stadium where Mew and Mewtwo continue the onslaught. Ash notices all the Pokemon are wiped out from streetfighting. Ash shouts to stop and he gets hit from both Mew and Mewtwo. He drops as Mewtwo calls him a fool. Pikachu runs toward Ash and he turns to stone*

Warlock: Uh…he’s dead.

America: He went the way of Han Solo

 

*Pikachu tries to revive Ash but it won’t work*

Warlock: Oh yeah, the kids are gonna love this ending.

 

*Pikachu burns himself out trying to save Ash. He cries and every other Pokemon cries as well, clone and real alike. All the tears cried from all the pokemon revive Ash*

Warlock: Well that was easy.

 

*Mewtwo says he’s learned the error of his ways. Mewtwo recalls all the clones and leaves with Mew. Mewtwo says to forget everything that happened and returns the trainers, the real pokemon, team rocket and ash/misty/brock return to the mainland. Ash says he can’t remember anything*

Warlock: Great, so we just imagined the whole thing?

 

*Ash runs out and New Island is evacuated. The storm is gone as well. Mew flies around but Misty and Brock don’t see it. Ash says he claims he saw a rare pokemon. The narrator signs off as Team Rocket is on New Island although its just grass. End credits*

America: So let’s pretend it all never happened.

 

Mr.America’s Assesment: I give it a 5

The Warlock’s Assessment:  Yeah, I was leaning toward 6 but the whole “we imagined the whole thing” ending just pissed me off. 5 out of 10.

Final Grade: 5 out of 10 – Average

 

*Warlock rises from the couch*

Warlock: Well that ending sucked.  I was expecting the Let’s All Get Along ending but I was not expecting the “We just imagined the whole thing” ending. It was solid for a full length Pokemon movie but it didn’t blow me away. Although the nostalgia factor is still there….makes me long for the old battle days.

*America rises from the recliner and pulls out a pokeball from his fatigues*

America: Want to battle?

*He twirls the ball on his finger and Warlock smirks*

Warlock: Let’s see if I still got it.

*Warlock goes into his closet and blows the dust off his pokeballs. He picks one up that reads “1999 Regional Pokemon Battling Champion” as he and Ametica step outside*

Warlock: Ready?

America: Ladies first.

Warlock: Heh, try this on for size.

*Warlock tosses his pokeball and Zapdos emerges*

America: Not bad…not bad..but now you’re in for it.

*America throws his pokeball and…Magikarp emerges. Warlock randomly falls down like in the tv show*

Warlock: YOU’RE SENDING OUT A USELESS WATER POKEMON AGAINST AN ELECTRIC BIRD??

America: I have a surprise for you, this Magikarp is at level 20..you know what that means….EVOLVE INTO GYRADOS, HAAAHAA!

*Magikarp continues to splash around…and flail..and splash*

Warlock: Well I’m waiting.

*America looks confused*

America: I dont get it, I gave it 14 rare candies.

*Warlock facepalms*

Warlock: IDIOT! You only leveled it up to level 19! You start at level 5, not 6.

America: Oh…shit.

Warlock: Zapdos…thunderbolt

*Zapdos screeches and fries not only Magikarp but Mr. America as well. America falls down*

Warlock: I only meant Magikarp, not him. Oh well, return.

*Warlock recalls Zapdos and walks over to America who twitches. Magikarp still flops around*

Warlock: I got a rare candy if you want it.

America: …Fuck you…

Warlock: Hahaha, have a pleasant evening.

 

 

149. Back In Action (1993)

MPW-59141

*The Warlock opens the door to his lair. He’s wearing a black wife beater, blue jeans, white sneakers and gargoyle shades. He’s holding a glass of pepsi*

Warlock: Welcome to my lair……welcome I don’t think so, but enter. Enter my lair if you dare. I’m your host The Warlock!

*Warlock shoots fire into the sky and walks into the lair*

Warlock: Tonight’s action is just that, Back In Action.

*Mr. America is in the recliner wearing green camo fatigues, vest and hat along with black combat boots and aviator shades*

America: What the hell is that?

Warlock: Billy Blanks the Tae-Bo guy and “Rowdy” Roddy Piper team up to take down a mob boss.

America: What? Piper? Blanks? Huh???

Warlock: Exactly.

*Warlock takes his seat in the middle of the couch*

Warlock: So let’s get started with Back In Action.

 

*The Warlock reads the tag-line*

Warlock: “The sister of a former U.S. Green Beret, is involved in a love affair with a mobster, endangering seriously her life. His brother will make his best efforts to save her from her boyfriend and his friends, fighting with or without external help. But perhaps this tough cop, Rossi, could help him… or stop him..”

America: Da…huh? There’s way too many moving parts and people in that summary to remember what the hell you just rattled off.

 

*A hearse drives by with the opening credits*

Warlock: Its a little stiff in the rear but it handles well.

America: Oyyyyy.

 

*Frank Rossi (Roddy Piper) says they’re right on time. Bunch of goons pull casket out of hearse. One guy snorts coke. A taxi cab is on its way. Billy (Billy Blanks) is the driver. A blue van has Frank and his partner in it. Trick (Kelly Fiddick) is the coke snorter. Frank’s van pulls up to the gaggle of goons. Meanwhile Billy sneaks up on one of them and snaps his neck*

Warlock: Well that was easy.

 

*Frank meets with the head goons as Billy wipes out another goon. Everybody pulls guns on one another. Frank “Great, now we’re gonna kill each other and nobody’s gonna make no money”

Warlock: Wonderful.

 

*Billy finds a girl in the limo and goes to pull her out. Billy wipes out another goon who opens fire. A big shootout commences.  Billy  covers the girl as Frank tags one of the goons. His backup takes out two more. His partner Wallace (Barry Blake) gets tagged. The head goon kills Wallace and stares at Frank who does nothing*

Warlock: Shoot him! What are you waiting for??

 

*Goon gets away with his men and the money, Billy and the girl run off another way as the police force shows up*

America: I’m assuming how their SWAT truck looks like a bread delivery truck.

Warlock: It probably was, just painted.

 

*Slow motion gunfire from SWAT team eliminates the rest of the goons. Two of them surrender*

Warlock: Suspect down!

 

*Frank stands over Wallace and is pissed*

Warlock: He shall be revenged!

 

*Trick is tagged but he’s got the dope, head goon says they’re headed to the boot. Meanwhile Billy is the brother of the girl. Gantry (Damon D’Oliveira) was the girl’s boyfriend. He tells Trick to shut up and Head Goon just shoots Trick dead*

Warlock: Don’t you love when the bad guys kill each other? Makes it easier for the good guys.

 

*Billy is trying to protect the girl from Gantry. Billy and the girl fight. She says he used to be a big green beret but is now driving a cab. He takes his jacket off*

Warlock: “I’m gonna whoop yo ass now girl!”

 

*The girl’s name is Tara (Kai Soremekun) and she escapes. Billy has to go find her. Meanwhile the newscaster Helen Lewinsky (Bobbie Phillips) tells the camera guy (Gerry Quigley) “Cops 6, Hoods 1, final scores at eleven”

America: Wait what??? They will fire her ass on the spot.

Warlock: She was joking, they weren’t filming.

America: Ohhhh okay. I was about to say she’d be shown the door in short order for a comment like that.

 

*Helen gives the real news update then tracks down Frank to say she’s sorry about Wallace. She wants a scoop and Frank gives her the business. They were lovers 5 years before and Frank cuts a promo saying he’s got a much harder job than she does. He has to tell Wallace’s wife her world is caved in*

America: He does make a valid point.

 

*Meanwhile Mr. Kasajian (Nigel Bennett) is the head honcho of the drug operation. Gantry and Head Goon put the money and the drugs on his table. Kasajian cuts a promo saying he’s going to have Tara killed. Frank takes Helen to one of Kasajian’s bars where they talk*

Warlock: Oh boy, character development.

 

*Billy barges in the bar*

America: There’s gonna be a fight!

Warlock: Attack the bartender!

America: What would THAT accomplish?

 

*Billy finds Tara with Kasajian’s men and Billy wipes them both out while Frank sits and drinks, non-chalantly*

Warlock: Hahahahhaa

 

*Billy finishes off the two henchmen with a big spinkick*

Warlock: Oh ho what a shot!

 

*Frank stops Billy with a gun and says he’s police. Billy kicks him and tells Tara to run for it. Frank clotheslines Billy and says he hates that karate shit*

Warlock: Piper with a clothesline, Billy Blanks is down.

 

*Frank goes to place him under arrest but Billy fights back*

Warlock: He’d be shot on sight now.

 

*Billy and Frank go one on one*

Warlock: Well we know Piper can take a punch.

 

*Frank fights back as the real cops arrive. They arrest Frank as Billy gets away. Frank has the cop (Matt Cooke) frisk him for his badge. After the cop lets Frank go, Frank says “Enjoy the paperwork”

Warlock: Can we cut to the scene where he gets his ass chewed out by the Chief for arresting the wrong guy?

America: Why???

 

*Tara is taken hostage by twin goons (Martin and Michael McNamara). Billy runs out in his white underwear*

Warlock: Jesus, enough with the jock.

 

*They attack and Billy fights them off*

America: Goons attack, what’s he gonna do?

Warlock: Beat the shit out of them.

America: Sounds about right.

 

*Billy throws one twin out the window 40 feet below*

Warlock: Weeeeee

America: *Makes fun of Tara crying*

 

*Billy snaps the neck of the other twin and screams at Tara for associating with them. She cries in his arms*

Warlock: Police are on the scene!

 

*Frank and another cop go over the crime scene at Billy’s house.  He spots the Special Forces banner as Helen shows up. Frank and her banter back and forth as Frank gives a statement “A full scale police investigation is under way to put an end to senseless violence”

Warlock: He cuts better promos than that.

 

*Billy and Tara shack up with some old guy. Tara protests about living like a nomad. She blames him for being on the run. Meanwhile Frank gets shit from Lt Burns (Sam Malkin) who then congratulates Frank on the dull interview*

Warlock: Hahahaha

 

*Kasajian sends Gantry to kill Billy and Tara*

Warlock: Now shit got real.

 

*Billy asks various bouncers where Gantry is. Billy threatens a bartender to tell Kasajian to take the heat off Tara or he’s dead. 3 guys attack Billy outside the bar. Billy wipes them out in short order and throws one through a bunch of cardboard boxes*

Warlock: Ever notice they always fall through shit?

 

*Sound effect*

America: Was that just a sound effect super imposed, nothing happened.

Warlock: Is there a parrot in the recording booth?

 

*Frank walks in on Helen and hands her a potted plant*

Warlock: He stole that off somebodies windowsill earlier.

America: Probably.

 

*Tara runs into Gantry’s apartment. He tells her not to come any closer. He’s carrying a gun. He reveals he’s sent to kill her. She puts the gun to her head and tells him to do it. He can’t*

Warlock: A man of the people

 

*He drops the gun and they start going at it*

Warlock: Oh. he’s gonna fuck her first.

America: Looks that way.

 

*Billy drives his cab to the seedy part of town*

Warlock: Look at all these seedy patrons.

 

*Seedy people drag race and play chicken. One car flips over and explodes*

Warlock: I don’t remember cars magically exploding.

 

*Head Goon is now known as Chakka (Matt Birman). He and Kasajian won money on the bet. Chakka spots Billy and has his goons surround him. Billy fights them off one by one*

America: Walker Texas Ranger school of bad guys all over again.

 

*Giant (Gary Robbins) says “You and me.” They go one on one. Giant goes for the Baldo Bomb but Billy counters with an axehandle smash. Billy eventually takes him down and runs for it. Giant says “get that sonovabitch”. A fence falls on one of them*

Warlock: Hahahaha

 

*Billy runs into Frank and the goons open fire. Frank says to run for it and they get in Frank’s car, who speeds off*

Warlock: Oh boy, a chase scene.

 

*Frank leans out the window to take out some goons while Billy continuously shouts to hit the brake. Frank leands back in just in time to swerve to safety*

Warlock and America: Hahahaha

 

*Frank pulls a gun on Billy and tells him to talk or he’ll shoot. Billy says they have a hit on his sister. The goons start shooting at Billy and Frank and they escape the car just in time. Frank asks if Billy knows how to use a gun. Billy just looks at him funny*

Warlock: Special forces you idiot.

 

*A chopper shows up*

Warlock: Is it time for the big finale?

America: I doubt it.

 

*It was a news chopper that saved Frank’s life. Frank tells the Lt that he acted alone and lies to save Billy. Helen grills him and Frank insists he was alone. Meanwhile they watch the news footage of Billy assisting. Frank asks why they didn’t use the footage and Helen says she wanted to go over it with Frank first. They want to run a story on how Billy is a vigilante against the mob. Frank says Billy is protecting his sister from Kasajian. Helen says she’s going to find Tara. Frank “Stay the hell out of police murder investigations!”

Warlock: Yeah, like that happens every day.

 

*Gantry and Tara finish and they cuddle. Gantry “I should have killed you when I had the chance.”

Warlock: He’s gonna have a lot of explaining to do.

America: Big time.

 

*Tara says Kasajian won’t look for her very long. Gantry asks about Billy. She says he’s gonna go nuts. Next scene is Billy plowing through a brothel looking for Tara and he wipes out everyone who resists. He wipes out the brothel bouncer with a slow motion kick then spray paints Tara on the wall*

America: Oooookay?

 

*Frank spots Jerry Gitano (Rob Stefaniuk) and threatens him to let him inside. He confronts Kasajian himself by pretending to be the acupuncture therapist. Frank flicks him continuously*

Warlock: Hahaha

 

*Frank beats the shit out of Chakka. Frank threatens him and then delivers a bulldog followed by a dropkick outside*

Warlock: Piper goes berserk.

 

*Frank goes to kill Chakka but stops himself and arrests him. Kasajian asks on what grounds. Frank says he’s a cop killer but Kasajian says he’ll get off. Chakka’s lawyer (David Ferry) says he’ll have Chakka out by morning as the presinct has to hold Frank back from taking a swing at the lawyer*

Warlock: Who wouldn’t want to swing at a lawyer?

 

*3 card players (Geza Kovacs, Ray Paisley and Robbie Rox) are shot up by Billy. He says only one will live. One card player kills the two others and Billy says to tell Kasajian he’s next*

Warlock: Kasajian is going to have a massive headache between Billy and Frank.

 

*Helen tells Frank that Billy’s struck again. Chakka tells Kasajian not to be worried. Kasajian says Chakka should be worried.  Meanwhile Frank goes to the new crime scene where the card player is wheeled out. Frank goes over evidence. Helen says she’ll find Tara before Billy does*

Warlock: Its 3 way race to the girl.

 

*A midget at the phone booth (Mark Parr) asks Tara for a quarter. She gives him one and he calls in, its one of Helen’s informants. Meanwhile Lt Burns pulls Frank off the case. Frank says “Yes SIR!” Frank does paperwork at his desk as we cut to a junkyard*

Warlock: Want to buy a car?

America: Why do I need a car?

 

*Billy makes his appearance at the junkyard, which is really a chop shop for Kasajian. Billy wipes out everyone singlehandedly. Frank hops up and takes out two thugs with shotguns.  Billy uses a blowtorch to mark his territory. Frank confronts him and says he’s going to take him in. “There’s been a traffic jam at the morgue ever since you got yourself into this thing”

Warlock: There’s a traffic jam at the morgue.

 

*Billy wants Frank’s help to find Chakka and Tara. They’re on the same side. Frank lowers his gun. Meanwhile we switch to Helen who’s with Tara and Gantry. Helen says she doesn’t want to know where they want to go, but she’ll report that they’re gone. We go back to Frank and Billy back bar*

America: Oh crap, I screwed up.

 

*Helen reports that Tara is alive. Frank gets spooked and drives Billy to the news station*

Warlock: She’s next.

 

*Jerry attacks Helen and Helen beats the shit out of him. Chakka intervenes and takes her hostage. He browbeats her as Jerry drives off*

Warlock: Love how she beat the crap out of Jerry, hahaha.

 

*The News Editor (Timm Zemanek) tells Frank he doesn’t know where Helen is but he’ll help find her. Meanwhile Chakka busts in and shoots Gantry. He goes to kill Tara but Helen says if he kills her, he has no bargaining chip to find Billy. He says she’s right and says they’re gonna go for a nice boat ride*

Warlock: Now its time for the big finale.

 

*Billy and Frank are in hot pursuit*

Warlock: What, they’re gonna go in unarmed?

America: Seems that way.

 

*Billy and Frank find Gantry who’s still alive. Gantry says they’re taking her to Kasajian’s boat and we cut here*

Warlock: Is he dead?

America: Well if he isn’t, he will be soon.

 

*Billy and Frank come upon the freighter. They storm it by climbing up the morn line*

Warlock: Why didn’t they just cut the rope? They never would have gotten on.

America: Why the hell would they do that? Cause all that would do is set the ship adrift. “What will we do now? I don’t know, just just watch the ship drift until sunrise. maybe we can paddle our way on board”

Warlock: Noooooo…I didn’t mean why didn’t Piper cut the rope, why didn’t the bad guys cut the rope so Piper couldn’t get on.

America:….You need to be more specific. Stop implying you’re talking about our heroes. That would ruin the ship and they’d be shot for being stupid!

 

*Billy and Frank wipe out a bald headed henchman and steals his gun. Billy doesn’t want a six shooter. Frank “Do I look like Santy Claus?”

Warlock: Hell no. That’s Goldberg.

 

*Billy and Frank wipe out more henchmen*

Warlock: You know, for reality purposes…how many henchmen does this guy have? They’ve beaten the shit out of 100 guys throughout the movie.

America: Its still not enough.

 

*Billy and Frank say they need to create a diversion in order to rescue the women. Billy uses a Jerry Can to start a fire*

Warlock: Got any marshmallows?

 

*Nothing blows*

Warlock: Ruh roh.

America: All they did was set the deck on fire.

 

*Giant attacks Billy as Frank is knocked out with a butt of a gun. Frank is taken hostage and is put with Tara and Helen*

Warlock: We got 14 minutes.

 

*Kasajian leaves Billy and Frank to Chakka, he and Jerry are going below with Tara and Helen. Chakka browbeats Frank as Billy gets the upperhand with Giant. Kasajian uses the acupuncture needles to torture Helen. Chakka has Frank untied as Billy sets Giant on fire and blows half the deck away*

America: There’s your distraction.

 

*Helen kicks Kasajian in the head and Tara kills one of the henchmen. Frank wipes out two more henchmen. Its down to Frank and Chakka one on one as Billy goes apeshit on random goons. Tara shoots and kills a henchmen as well*

Warlock: So Helen fights like Bruce Lee, Billy is a special forces ace and Tara is a crack shot. Chakka likes to shoot his own guys….in essence Piper doesn’t have to do shit.

America: Pretty much.

 

*Billy slow motion shoots more bad guys. Meanwhile Frank gets the upperhand with Chakka. He goes to kill Chakka who taunts him and says he can;t kill him, only arrest him. Frank guts and kills Chakka with his own knife*

Warlock: I didn’t see that, did you?

America: See what?

 

*Kasajian takes Tara hostage and Billy points a gun at him*

Warlock: Okay…how many times do we see this? This guy’s whole operation just got blown away. All his henchmen are dead….he’s under arrest more or less. Even if there’s a magical bolt of lightning that strikes Billy and he shoots everyone else to get away. The entire police force would be looking for him and he has no manpower left. Why doesn’t he just give up? Everybody does this in movies. The head honchos are the last man standing, amidst rubble and a crumbled empire AND STILL TRY TO TAKE A HOSTAGE.

America: I can nullify your entire rant, by saying one thing.

Warlock: What?

America: They’re trying to make a run for it.

Warlock: Yeah, he’s still going to be chased by the entire police force and have no resources left.

America: Stupid motivation, but still.

 

*Billy tosses the gun in the air and Kasajian watches it, Billy pulls out another gun and empties a whole clip into Kasajian who falls 40 feet off the boat onto his own car*

Warlock: So his ADD just killed him. He literally watched the gun.

America: It was slow motion.

 

*Helen tends to Frank as Billy hugs Tara*

Warlock: Yay we did it

*Warlock goes to shake America’s hand*

America: Did what??? Get outta here.

 

*Frank and Helen says the news will show that Billy was a one man vigilante who took down the bad guys by himself and disappears. The news and the police are on their way. Frank says no interviews as the credits roll*

Warlock and America: Heh.

 

*Mr. America’s Assessment: I give it a 4.5 out of 10.

The Warlock’s Assessment: I give it a 5. It was entertaining but got a little redundant in the middle as the chase was on to find Tara. We never found out if Gantry lived or died. The puns were cool though. There was some good action scenes. It was an average B movie.

Final Grade:  4.5 out of 10 – Below Average

 

*Warlock rises from the couch*

Warlock: That was about as average as you could get. It was a cookie cutter story that dominated B movies of the time period. Buddy cop team up movies were redundant by that point but at least it was an interesting matchup with a martial arts master like Blanks and a wrestler like Piper. Well that about wraps up…..

*Mr. America suddenly pops up dropkicks Warlock and he slow motion falls through a bunch of cardboard boxes that magically appeared out of nowhere*

Warlock: Where the hell did these come from?

America: Have a pleasant evening.

148. Mega Shark vs Mecha Shark (2014)

movieposter

*The Warlock opens the door to his lair. He’s wearing a gray wife-beater, blue jeans, white sneakers and gargoyle shades. He’s holding a wine glass of root beer*

Warlock: Welcome to my lair….welcome I don’t think so, but enter. Enter my lair if you dare. I’m your host The Warlock.

*Warlock levitates and enters the lair*

Warlock: Tonight is a special treat.

*Mr. America is in the recliner wearing green camo fatigues, vest and hat along with black combat boots and aviator shades*

America: And why is that?ou

Warlock: Tonight following our movie we will be having a special interview, live via satellite with our friend, Dr. Taylor Ahern.

America: No….that means…..

Warlock: That’s right, tonight’s movie is Mega Shark vs Mecha Shark!

*America throws his hands up then face palms*

America: Oh god, why must you torture me?

*Warlock takes his seat in the middle of the couch*

Warlock: So let’s get started with Mega Shark vs Mecha Shark.

 

*The Warlock reads the tag-line*

Warlock: “A new mega shark threatens to destroy humanity. The government creates an exact robotic copy of the shark, either equal to or greater than the original. Now they must fight to the death while people and whole cities get in the way.”

America: A shark is an aquatic creature, how do whole cities get in the way? If anything they should be spectating.

 

*City is shown*

Warlock: Is that Chicago?

America: Could be New York.

 

*Graphic Egypt*

Warlock: Not even close

 

*Raul and the Captain play chess, Captain goes on a rant*

Warlock: Shut up and suck on that.

America: No thank you.

 

*Iceberg breaks*

America: Shifting? That’s falling apart.

 

*Giant shark emerges from the ice block*

Warlock: Yeah because that makes sense.

 

*Pyramid’s head explodes*

America: Weeeeeeeeeeeee

 

*2 Megalodon escape and we get various news stories say air and sea trades have stopped*

America: Ok, by sea I can see, but by air…no.

Warlock: By sea..you can see.

 

*Nero (Paul Anderson) is the voice of the Mecha Shark. Rosie (Elisabeth Rohm) and Jack (Christopher Judge) take Mecha Shark for a spin. They call for a 60 degree roll*

America: That’s not 60 degress! That’s a 90 degree roll at least. That’s perpendicular.

 

*2 giant octopus attack Mecha Shark*

Warlock: So two giant octopus are normal in this world?

America: Apparently.

 

*Mecha Shark deploys Eel electricity to shock them away. Jack gets an urgent message from dry dock*

Warlock: Ever notice dry dock is never dry, its always wet?

America: Do you know what a dry dock is?

 

*Admiral Engleberg (Matt Lagan) says its ready*

Warlock: Lunch is ready.

 

*Engleberg, Rosie and Jack meet a new Mecha Shark. Jack doesn’t like it*

Warlock: You tell em Teal’c

 

*Fish freighter says its heading home*

America: No you’re not.

 

*Ship is swallowed whole by Megalodon*

America: Told ya.

 

*Guy goes on camera saying he’s more worried about family than the Megalodon. He goes on a rant saying his son is dead and is pissed that nobody is doing anything about the giant sharks*

Warlock: Wouldn’t a rocket launcher stop it?

America: You know what, you go off to die and I’ll stay right here.

 

*Jack and Rosie share bonding moments*

Warlock: Sorry folks, should have told you about the subplot.

 

*Rosie feels responsible for what happened*

America: Wonderful, want to tell us what happened?

 

*Dr. McNeil (Debbie Gibson) says the Megalodon is pissed off and very aggressive*

Warlock: That is something we already knew.

 

*Captain Hanson (Bill Vorhees) gets a line to Engleberg*

Warlock: Why is a Captain running around like a petty officer?

 

*Jack and Rosie go to kiss but Engleberg stops him*

America: Wow, no developing love plot, we already have it established.

Warlock: This movie doesn’t want to waste any time.

America: There’s a big shark, we need to destroy it. Okay.

Warlock: Simple and to the point, no stone unturned.

America: Love story? Who needs it? Cataclysmic world event, don’t worry about it, this is the third time its happened. Problem solved.

 

*Mecha Shark is just about ready as the Megalodon shows up. Captain Zane (Lance Buckner) is ready to fire. Rosie pilots the Mecha and puts a GPS signal on the Megalodon.  They fire a torpedo at the shark who just deflects it back to the Virginia and sinks it*

Warlock: So the shark can deflect torpedo blasts.

America: I’m guessing torpedos aren’t strong enough.

Warlock: So what the hell is the shark made out of in this world?

America: You do realize…..nevermind.

 

*Engleberg says he lost 436 men on that ship. Jack says he needs to install Nero, it’ll take a day*

Warlock: We’re 23 minutes in and this movie already stinks.

 

*Nero prevents Jack from smoking*

Warlock: Great, a no smoking AI.

 

*Jack says good news is they’re going into battle to test things out, bad news is its for real. Jack tells Nero that she’s taken*

Warlock: I don’t think she’s going to fall in love with an AI computer.

 

*Megalodon attacks an oil rig*

Warlock: Oh wonderful.

 

*Mecha Shark with Nero installed searches for the shark*

Warlock: Tell me you have more than backscatter.

America: Why are you asking me?

Warlock: Got any scuttlebutt?

America: Why would I have scuttlebutt?

 

*Megalodon attacks an oil rig to blind Rosie. Her orders are to close on the target but Jack says the whole world is fucked if they don’t fix the oil leak. Rosie diverts and fixes the leak*

Warlock: Great.

 

*Plane captain says they need to land. Mega Shark jumps 38000 feet in the air only for Mecha Shark to jump up and deflect it*

Warlock: 38,000 feet in the air, no sweat for a shark.

 

*Megalodon attacks a ship, Rosie cries. Jack says to go kick the shark’s ass*

Warlock: Well bullets and torpedoes won’t penetrate it, what do they do?

America: They’ll think of something.

 

*Mecha Shark is attacked, Rosie is unresponsive. Jack can’t get her on the radio. Nero then malfunctions and blows things up around it. Rosie is unconscious but alive. The Megalodon is attacking an aircraft carrier. It attacked because the High Frequency Emitters pissed it off. The Megalodon sinks the carrier*

Warlock: I give up figuring this movie up.

 

*CGI Battleship shows up*

America: WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT? THAT’S NOT A BATTLESHIP, I DON’T KNOW WHAT THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE. ITS A FRANKENSTEIN OF SHIPS. ITS HULL AND CONNING TOWER IS OF A DESTROYER, THE GUNS ARE OF A BATTLESHIP!!!! TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT SHIPS!

 

*Jack tends to Rosie*

America: Wake up sleepyhead.

 

*Engleberg says all lives lost. Nero says he’ll pilot the Mecha Shark alone. Rosie has a flashback of her daughter dying. She wakes up and Jack tends to her*

Warlock: This movie sucks.

 

*Dr. McNeil tells Rosie that Megalodon is heading for Sydney, Australia where the Megalodon home world once stood 200 million years ago. Its coming home to mate*

Warlock: Sure, let’s go with that.

 

*General Hogan (Simon Barbero) greets Rosie as Mecha Shark will be sent in to take out the Megalodon*

America: What’s keeping Nero from going Terminator and joining the other shark.

Warlock: Because that would make no sense.

 

*Megalodon sinks another freighter with ease. Some woman (Fiona Hardingham) lost her daughter Stacey (Emma Rose Maloney). Rosie goes to find her*

America: Here I come to save the dayyyyyyyyyyy

 

*The sharks fight, Nero is damaged. Rosie chases after Stacey*

America: Why is this dumbass running away?

 

*McNeil calls Engleberg and says Megalodon isn’t leaving Sydney. Engleberg says the bright side is he’s in an enclosed area. McNeil says he’s going to get aggressive if he doesn’t find a mate*

Warlock: LIKE HE WASN’T ALREADY???

 

*Megalodon throws Mecha Shark onto land as Engleberg says its gone into drone mode meaning its fully AI now*

Warlock: There’s your terminator.

 

*Guy yells at Jack and Jack says he just rode in on a giant robot shark*

America: Hahahahaha

Warlock: Instead of a wrecking ball.

America: Came in with a wrecking ball…why are you making Miley Cyrus references.

Warlock: Billy Ray said I could.

 

*Mecha Shark tuns its safety protocols off. It sees everyone as a threat and goes to attack Stacey. Jack carries her to safety until Rosie arrives*

Warlock: Good call on the terminator.

America: Everyone is the enemy!

 

*Heath (Marshall Dunn) gets run over by Mecha Shark. Some fat guy spits up fake blood*

Warlock: Well better them than us.

 

*McNeil’s new plan is to use Mega to attack Mecha and it’ll go away peacefully after*

Warlock: Oh my good god, they switched roles. I should have known.

 

*Jack returns Stacey safetly as Mecha attacks. Rosie jumps inside Mecha and tries to rewire everything. Jack is outside trying to lead it to water. Engleberg sets off depth charges. It doesn’t work*

Warlock: Why am I not surprised?

 

*Jack rides around on a motorcycle then jumps the Mecha…500 feet in the air*

Warlock: Hahahahaha what the fuck.

America: He made that jump going off a car 5 feet high.

 

*Engleberg starts shooting with a pistol at the water and taunts Mega. Mega sinks his ship*

Warlock: At least he went down fighting right?

 

*Rosie sets the HFE to draw the Mega close to her. Jack says to get out of there now. Two F-15’s blast the Mecha, knocking Rosie into the chum tank*

Warlock: Ewwwww. Is this the part where Jack flaps his arms?

America: What good would THAT do?

 

*Jack tries too warn the F-35’s not to shoot Mecha but it fires its missiles. Knocking Mecha goofy. Meanwhile Jack jumps into the mini-Mecha and pilots into the Mecha wreckage. He steals Nero’s flashdrive and puts it into Mini-Mecha. Nero comes back online and Jack instructs him to override the drone lock. He returns control to Nero and he empties the chum tank*

Warlock: Hooray she’s saved.

 

*Engleberg is eaten by the Megalodon*

Warlock: NOW he’s gone.

 

*Rosie swims to the surface and Jack pilots Mini-Mecha to shore. He catches up with Rosie as a bomb goes off on Mecha that takes it out and Mega. The guts splatter onto Rosie and Jack*

Warlock: Hooray its over.

 

*Jack says “So long Nero, and thank you”

Warlock: Everybody’s dead.

 

*Jack pulls out Nero’s flash drive and says just work out the kinks and he’ll be as good as new*

Warlock: So not everyone is dead.

 

*They kiss amidst the wreckage. Jack says they have explaining to do. End credits with cgi helicopters*

Warlock: Thank god its over.

 

Mr. America’s Assessment: I give it a 2

The Warlock’as Assessment:  I give it a 2. It was a horrible waste of time with no gore effects, shitty cgi and corny dialogue. Not too much was redeeming other than it was short and to the point.

Final Grade: 2 out of 10 – Abomination

 

*Warlock rises from the couch*

Warlock: Holy moly that was garbage. This movie made Sharknado look like Jaws. Now joining us for a little chat, from his lab, live via satellite, noted scientist Dr. Taylor Ahern. Taylor can you hear me?

*The movie screen fades and we are shown Dr. Ahern’s lab. A cardboard cut-out of a Megalodon is on the bulletin board while a human in a mecha shark outfit stomps around*

Warlock: What the hell is that?

*A human hand opens the jaws of the Mecha Shark head, its Taylor*

Ahern: Greetings Warlock. I hear you loud and clear, what can I do for you today?

*Mr America opens his arms in confusion then facepalms. Warlock waves*

Warlock: Good evening Doctor. Mr. America and I have just finished Mega Shark vs Mecha Shark. I see you’ve already gotten into the spirit of the movie.

Ahern: Not exactly. The movie didn’t represent sharks very well. Usually Megalodon’s that emerge from a block of ice don’t travel to Australia. Everyone knows they travel to Antarctica, but will movie companies listen to me? Noooooooo.

America: So what’s with the get up?

Ahern: To understand the shark, you must get inside the shark. In order to fight off this Megalodon on here, I must put myself in the Mecha Shark’s position in order to survive the attack.

Warlock: That seems to be great strategy.

America: But…but…..whatever. Continue.

Ahern: Observe if you will.

*Ahern takes a few steps back then charges the bulletin board head first and destroys the cut out, the bulletin board and the mecha head when he crashes into the nearby wall. He slumps downward*

America: Can’t say I’m surprised there.

Warlock: Dr. Ahern are you alright?

*Ahern coughs and gags as he pulls himself up to his lab desk, sprawling himself out on it*

Ahern: Yes…*coughs*…I’ll be fine. That Megalodon was tough, I need to create a tougher Mecha Shark to battle it.

*America goes to protest but Warlock cuts him off*

Warlock: Well then you have a lot of work to do. Its great talking to you again, farewell.

*Ahern gives a half hearted wave as he continues to gather himself. The screen fades back to the DVD menu*

America: I don’t know you why you keep encouraging him.

Warlock: Oh shut up….anyway that about wraps up another craptastic adventure, have a pleasant evening.

*Paquita’s dog licks Lionel and Paquita checks him out. They share bonding moments. She makes him ask her out*

Warlock: Hahahaha that’s awesome.

 

*Mum pounds around as Lionel runs in*

America: Wow.

 

*Mum looks at a picture of Lionel’s dad (Jim Booth) and tries to guilt trip Lionel into staying home*

America: Ah the classic overbearing mother tries to keep her son around ploy. Don’t fall for it. You better not bail on this date, she spelled it out for you. Go!

 

*Lionel takes Pacquita to the zoo. He’s fine until he spots water. He teases a flashback and he runs*

Warlock: He’s afraid of water? He’s gotta take a piss?

America: No…YOU complain when he DOESN’T make a move. I’m saying she wants it but he’s nervous.

 

*Pacquita and Lionel get it on as Mum begins to change. Next morning Lionel changes the bandages and her wounds are pussing and gross*

Warlock: This is awesome.

 

*Lionel answers the door and its Nora (Glenis Levestam) of the Ladies Welfare League and her husband (Lewis Rowe). Part of her face falls off and Lionel glues it back on*

Warlock: Hahahaha that’s hilarious.

 

*Mum moans and mumbles through dinner as she tries to talk to Nora. Lionel is nervous and the husband is oblivious*

Warlock: You’re complaining? The movie will be shorter.

Warlock: Ugh, finally.

 

Mr. America’s Assessment: I’ll give it a 3.5. I was going to give it a 5 but it just dragged too long. It took away from the movie.

The Warlock’s Assessment: I give it a 6. I was going to give it a 7 but it just dragged on and on and on…good god did it drag. I mean the gore effects was great, the writing was great but god damn it was an hour and forty four minutes that should have been over in seventy, maybe eighty.

Final Grade: 4.5 out of 10 – Below Average.

 

*Warlock rises from the couch*

Warlock: Damn….damn..damn damn. That movie was really fun and the gore was great as advertised but it was just too damn long. It just kept dragging and dragging. Good news is its still a fun movie and worth checking out. That about wraps up another adventure, have a pleasant evening.

Warlock: “Harlin Garret loses his memory and finds himself closed in a facility claimed to belong to the state security services. The manager of this place tells Garrett he used to be a killer for the mob but Garrett refuses to believe. Then he is forced to kill people that are a “Risk to the state security”, but the whole story gets complicated when Garret falls in love with one of his victims.”

America: Ughh, too confusing.

Warlock: I know that eye anywhere, that’s Jeff Wincott.

 

*Harlin wakes up with his whole body bandaged asking what he is*

Warlock: What is he?

Next frame shows some Rastafari (Rupert Harvey) getting thrown into Harlin’s hall. Green explains he held up a store and shot both the owner and his wife in cold blood. Green says to kill him. Harlin says he won’t do it. Green tosses Rasta the gun and we get a one on one fight. Rasta gets the upperhand and says he’s liking this. Harlin fights back and snaps his neck*

Warlock: Harlin wins…..fatality!

 

*Green congratulates Harlin on winning the fight. He says he’s free but will go to New York as Danny Granger. He says he’s going to wipe out a few people for them. Harlin says he could run, Green says if Harlin crosses him then he’ll put a hit out on him to both the police and the mob. “If you fuck with me, I’ll turn that gift into a living nightmare you cannot surive”

*Ann is alone and she’s crying. Harlin asks what’s up. Ann says her friend was killed. She says the two people she told about her research are dead and she doesn’t want to tell Harlin. He holds her close and they kiss*

America: He either kills her or sets him up against Green and his people. Judging by how this is going, it looks like he’s going up against Green.

Warlock: What the hell kind of movie would it be if he killed her?

America: A shorter one.

 

*They go at it*

Warlock: We got plenty of tits in this movie.

America: You’re complaining?

Warlock: Haha what? That was easy.

America: LOUSY security.

 

*Guard calls Steve and says he’s in*

Warlock: Ohhhhh okay.

America: That’s better.

 

*Harlin walks into the lab and Ann is waiting for him already. Steve is on the way. Harlin tells her the plot, he’s there to kill her.

Warlock: Okay come on. He wouldn’t be able to stand if he got shot in the leg.

America: He got shot in the shoulder!

Warlock: I thought it was the leg.

 

*Harlin beats the shit out of Turner*

Warlock: Doesn’t matter where he got shot, they’re gonna ignore it anyway.

 

*Turner pulls a knife and Harlin guts him with it*

Warlock: Good.

 

*Harlin walks out of an elevator with Ann in his arms and Green pulls a gun on him. He tells him to put her down*

Warlock: The big finale.

 

*Green says he’s gonna hate to do this and Harlin out of nowhere throws the knife 100 feet away and hits Green in the chest. Green slowly dies*

Warlock: Oh yeah, sure…he was 100 feet away.

 

*Harlin carries Ann out and on to a gurney. The cops pull Harlin off and wheel her away. Harlin is arrested as the credits roll*

Warlock: WHAT?????

America: That’s it????

 

Mr. America’s Assessment: I give it a 3.5.

The Warlock’s Assessment: That sounds good. One point for the nudity, one point for Ironside, one point for character development. Half a point for the end credits song.

Final Grade: 3.5 out of 10 – Really bad

 

*Warlock rises from the couch*

Warlock: That was another one of those movies that could have been good but it lacked too much to be worth anything. Michael Ironside can’t do it all himself. Well that about wraps up another craptastic adventure, have a pleasant evening.

*Estelle smokes while listening to Crimson and Clover*

Warlock: Good song.

America: Okay…that didn’t take long.

*Estelle talks about baby bottles*

Warlock: Can we progress the story now?

America: I’m pretty sure she just said she lost a baby so this is character development. She picked a fine time to drop this bombshell with the big day tomorrow.

Mr. America’s Assessment: I give it a 3.5, Stallone saved it.

The Warlock’s Assessment: I give it a 4. Good story, just horribly executed with no real ending.

Final Grade: 3.5 – Really Bad

 

*Warlock rises from the couch*

Warlock: That was extremely disappointing. I can give it credit for being a b movie and coming out 46 years ago but it wasn’t shot very well, edited very well or ended very well. I can see the message it was trying to send but it was just executed badly. If the movie came out 7 years later, it may have been a hit but since Stallone wasn’t known yet, it was only a footnote to his career. That about wraps up another craptastic adventure, have a pleasant evening.
