677. The Whale (2022)

*When we last left off, The Warlock had watched Elvis with Mr. America and raced home to be with Neyzor Blades. He’s taking off his jacket as Neyz is in the recliner*

N: Its been four months and NOW you want to watch a movie.

W: Ohhhh yeah.

N: I thought you quit.

W: I did, but I have some unfinished business, as in tonight’s movie.

N: What are we watching?

*Warlock looks at the camera with fire in his eyes*

W: 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 nothing*

W: Tonight on Warlock’s Movie Realm we’re going to take a look at a movie that has Oscars implications. Earlier this year Austin Butler did NOT win Best Actor for Elvis. The honor of Best Actor went to Brendan Fraser for tonight’s movie.

N: Wait…you mean….

W: That’s right, tonight we will be watching the 2022 drama THE WHALE. If you haven’t heard, Brendan plays a morbidly obese English teacher that wants to see his estranged daughter but not in the shape he’s in. I don’t know what else the movie is about apart from Fraser wanting to see his daughter. The movie was nominated for 3 Oscars and won two. Fraser won Best Actor, Hong Chau was nominated for Best Supporting Actress and the movie won Best Makeup….also over Elvis.

N: Oh get over it.

W: No! Anyway, Fraser won Best Actor over Austin Butler for his role in this movie so now we’re going to find out if he deserved it. So grab your popcorn, grab your drink and grab your woman because its time for THE WHALE.

*Neyz reads the tag-line*

N: “A reclusive, morbidly obese English teacher attempts to reconnect with his estranged teenage daughter.”

W: This sounds like a drama for sure.

*After the movie is over, Warlock slowly rises to his feet*

W: Alright, I admit it….Fraser deserved it.

N: Glad you admit it, now I’m going to bed.

W: You’re not going anywhere, we got one more operation to go.

N: What do you mean?

W: I have one movie left, and its go time……
