FROM YOUTUBE TO INDIE FILMMAKER…SHELBY OAKS IS HERE, BUT DOES IT HERALD A POTENTIAL NEW FILMIC VOICE OR WERE MISTAKES MADE?!?!?!Stop me if you’ve heard this one:  An ex-Jehovah’s Witness, pansexual, YouTube movie reviewer/influencer decides to make a movie…. And so it is with Shelby Oaks, the debut feature of one Chris Stuckmann. Kickstarter’d, delayed, reshot, remixed, edited, EP’d and shepherded to the screen by rising superstar horror director Mike Flanagan and a host of other contemporary horror creators, is Shelby Oaks THE horror debut from a YouTube content creator worthy of all those hyperbolic quotes on the poster? (Editor’s Note: The Phillipous and Talk to Me just said, “HOLD MY BEER”.) Or does this have “rookie filmmaker missteps” ALL over it? Team Web (Cupcake) and Team Sundance (WillDaBeast) have thoughts…lots of them…and you may be surprised who is the MOST critical. (Editor’s Note: Cupcake always takes a shit on one major thing every movie.)                    DISCOVER THE SECRET OF SHELBY OAKS WITH WATCH SKIP PLUS!As Spooky Season comes to a close, Jose plus’s a local Maryland behemoth Haunted House installation “Legends of the Fog” and the “Dismember The Alamo” horror film marathon. Mike gets in the Deathstalker remake director’s followup to the popular Psycho Goreman “Frankie Freako” and the last of the retro “Scream-ings”: The Corpse Bride and ParaNorman, both issues as anniversary screenings. TIMESTAMPS00:00 Teaser01:55 Intro04:52 Shelby Oaks: Below the Line / The Crew13:18 Shelby Oaks: Behind the Making19:41 Shelby Oaks: Above the Line / The Cast28:23 Spoiler Free Thoughts47:46 SPOILERS AHEAD01:03:13 Jose's Plus01:13:43 Mike's Plus01:22:44 Outro- - - - - - - - - -WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS! FOLLOW/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE/REVIEW/LOVEEmail us: WatchSkipPlus@gmail.com#ShelbyOaks #ChrisStuckmann #CamilleSullivan #SarahDurn #BrendanSextonIII #KeithDavid #MichaelBeach #RobinBartlett #DerekMears #amillionEPs #kickstarter #JamesBurkholder #TheNewtonBrothers #andrewscottbaird #brettwbachman #mikeflanagan #davidfsandberg #sevohanian #scottbeck #BryanWoods #paperstreetpictures #intrepidpictures #titlemedia #HlbrkEnt #Neon

SCREEN THAT CALL FROM BEYOND…THE GRABBER IS BACK IN BLACK PHONE 2!Blumhouse pictures looks to break its poo-poo streak (Exorcist:Believer, The Wolf Man, M3G4N 2.0, The Woman in the Yard, Drop) with Black Phone 2, the sequel to the wildly successful first film. Based on a short story by Stephen King’s son Joe Hill, the sequel is directed by genre friendly director-writer Scott Derrickson who also helmed the Sinister films and Doctor Strange. Starring returning actors Mason Thames (who is on a hot streak as the current IT actor), Madeleine McGraw, Miguel Mora, and Ethan Hawke, is this sequel a worthy expansion of the Grabber storyline/universe or is it just silly “bigger, bolder, better but more of the same”?                  ACCEPT THE CALL AND MASK UP FOR THE NEW WATCH SKIP PLUS!!!!October is still “Spooky Season”, and Mike has capsule reviews of horror films - John Carpenter’s Prince of Darkness, VHS Halloween, I See You, and spotlights director Brandon Christensen whose Shudder exclusives have become WillDaBeast must see’s.

IS THE THIRD TIME THE CHARM FOR A BELOVED FRANCHISE WHOSE FIRST FILM BOMBED AND WHOSE SEQUEL WAS ONLY A MODERATE BOX OFFICE SUCCESS?!??Fun Fact: the original 1982 Tron is one of Cupcake’s favorite nostalgic cornerstone films. This week he forces WillDaBeast to watch the third film in the franchise: Tron: Ares. Directed by one of the co-directors of the last Pirates of the Caribbean movie and starring up and coming performers Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith and Evan Peters, veteran actors Jeff Bridges and Gillian Anderson, and starring the nearly-cancelled, gorgeous but maybe difficult to work worth and satisfy, questionable celebrity Jared Leto, Tron: Ares dazzles with sizzling CGI effects and a banging Nine Inch Nails score. For a franchise that has only offered three films in FORTY THREE YEARS (!), will this sequel revive the “was it ever there” franchise or is it time for Tron to hit the “Recycle Bin” for good?                RECTIFY THE NEW WATCH SKIP PLUS OR FACE THE GAME GRID!!!!October is “Spooky Season”, and Mike has capsule reviews of horror films: some retro-screenings and a few new streamers.

Check. Trailer that makes it look like a sexed-up “You’re Next”? Check. Gorgeous, drool-worthy leads? Check. Excellent script and execution…..Uhhhhhhhhhhh WilDaBeast and Cupcake welcome back Tyler from Raiders of the Podcast to give you the skinny (or rather….the girth, maybe?) on the erotic thriller “Bone Lake”. Directed by a woman who also shot a short entitled “Come F*ck My Robot” and written by a screenwriter with only two little seen films as credits, the charged up posters and marketing hint at a bloody sex fest with ex’s and axes. Starring Maddie Hasson, Marco Piggosi, Alex Roe, and Andra Nechitta, this thriller has two couples showing up at the same AirBnB where a weekend turns into psychosexual gamesmanship replete with sexing, stabbing, and sawing. But can does it deliver the goods?                GET IT UP FOR THE NEW WATCH SKIP PLUS!!!!For Plusses, Tyler talks the 2005 thriller Derailed, speaking of “psychosexual gamesmanship” while Mike plusses all the fun horror films he’s been consuming since “Spooky Season” started October 1 including the in-theatres Regal 31 Screams On Screen.TIMESTAMPS00:00 Teaser02:38 Intro05:55 Bone Lake: Below the Line / The Crew12:02 Bone Lake: Above the Line / The Cast22:17 Spoiler Free Thoughts37:21 SPOILERS AHEAD01:01:48 Tyler's Plus01:05:45 Mike's Plus01:11:45 Outro- - - - - - - - - -WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS! FOLLOW/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE/REVIEW/LOVEEmail us: WatchSkipPlus@gmail.com#BoneLake #mercedesbrycemorgan #alexroe #maddiehassan #marcopiggosi #andranechita #joshuafriedlander #roquebanos #bencherney #nickmatthews #LDEntertainment #bleeckerstreetmedia #Regal #regal31screamsonscreen #funhouse #candyman #goodboy #benleonberg #alexcannon #indy

PEELE PRODUCER LABEL NOSEDIVES WITH HIM - STULTIFYING MISFIRE!Jordan Peele, the innovative and stunning director of Get Out and Nope, lends his (producer) name to HIM, a new horror film about a young football quarterback facing an aging rival for the top spot on a pro team. Directed by Justin Tipping and starring Marlon Wayans and Tyriq Withers,  the trailers sold this as a seemingly brutal, gory “The Substance meets the NFL”.

HEAVY STEPHEN KING NOVEL HITS THE SCREEN…BUT DOES IT HAVE LEGS?A 1979 Stephen King novel got a big screen adaptation, and Watch Skip Plus gives you its singular critique and analysis in a brand new episode. WillDaBeast and Cupcake take on the Francis Lawrence directed - JT Mollner written book to screen thriller with a simple premise: Young men compete in a “long walk” where the last man standing wins a wish and untold millions. The catch? Keep walking or die. Starring a crop of mega-talented new faces such as Cooper Hoffman, David Jonsson, and Charlie Plummer and supported by veteran actors like Skywalker himself Mark Hammil and Judy Greer, will audiences take to this polarizing, feel-bad allegory about the power of the human spirit and its all too instinctual trappings or will the week’s events leading up to the film’s release (an assasination and a school shooting in ONE day; King himself nearly getting cancelled over a tweet) take out the film’s kneecaps at the box office?           PINCH ONE OFF AND WALK ON UP TO WATCH SKIP PLUS!For Plusses, the Boyz each review new streaming films to enjoy in the sanctity of your homes: Mike caught “Friendship” starring Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd while Cupcake threw $10 at a VOD indie rental: “She Rides Shotgun” starring Taron Edgerton and featuring a powerhouse performance from young Ana Sophia Heger.  TIMESTAMPS00:00 Teaser02:19 Intro03:42 Long Walk: Below the Line / The Crew20:11 Long Walk: Above the Line / The Cast33:15 Spoiler Free Thoughts  54:42 SPOILERS AHEAD01:17:31 Mike's Plus01:22:42 Jose's Plus01:29:31 Outro- - - - - - - - - -WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS! FOLLOW/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE/REVIEW/LOVEEmail us: WatchSkipPlus@gmail.com#StephenKing #TheLongWalk #FrancisLawrence #JTMollner #CooperHoffman #DavidJonsson #GarrettWareing #tutnyuot #charlieeplummer #benwang #joshuaodjick #markhamill #judygreer #joshhamilton #jowillems #jeremiahfraites #lionsgate #vertigoentertainment #aboutblank #friendship #timrobinson #paulrudd #andrewdeyoung #a24 #sheridesshotgun #taronegerton #anasophiaheger #nickrowland #waypointentertainment

This time taking on the fourth Conjuring film, itself the 9th movie in the “Conjuring” universe (the “CU”). Directed by CU mainstay director Michael Chaves with returning leads Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, pic fashions the famed demonologists (or hoax-artists?) Ed and Lorraine Warren as spiritual warrior-superheroes as they wage war on a demon that has a link to both the Warrens and a Pittsburgh family. With diminishing returns in the franchise, is this new Conjuring a return to form of the fun-house thrills of Conjuring 1 and 2 or does this series of films need to head towards the light and live on in our memories?       GET IN THE SPIRIT WITH WS+!For Pluses, Mike regales us of his family’s VEGAS VACATION!

COME ASHORE FOR THE NEW WATCH SKIP PLUS!Cupcake all but ordered WillDaBeast to see the new Ron Howard film solely because advanced word had Jude Law doing a “one for the history books” full frontal nude scene. And so it is: this week the Boyz review Ron Howard’s historically based, “Survivor”-esque 1930’s period drama “Eden” starring Law, Vanessa Kirby, Daniel Bruehl (BARON ZEMO!), current controversial it-girl Sydney Sweeney, and Ana De Armas. Aside from the obvious visual DELIGHTS (warning: lots of breasts, penis, butt, and pregnancy talk/jokes), is this a return to prestige engrossing filmmaking from Howard or is “Eden” setting itself up to run afoul of potential multiple Razzie nominations (yes, at least one host thinks this is absolute dreck)?    FIND PARADISE WITH OUR NEW EPISODE!Stick around for the PLUS:  Mike reviews “Night of the Zoopocalypse”, an animated film based on a short story by….wait for it…..CLIVE BARKER (think “Zootopia” meets Alien meets “Paranorman”); Jose takes on the new horror comedy “Clown in a Cornfield” from the director of “Tucker & Dale vs. Evil”. TIMESTAMPS00:00 Teaser01:15 Intro05:56 Eden: Below the Line / Production17:35 Eden: Above the Line / Cast26:31 Background / Spoiler Free Thoughts49:40 SPOILERS ahead01:07:30 Mike's Plus01:12:30 Jose's Plus01:18:37 Outro- - - - - - - - - -WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS! FOLLOW/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE/REVIEW/LOVEEmail us: WatchSkipPlus@gmail.com#eden #ronhoward #judelaw #anadearmas #vanessakirby #danielbruhl #sydneysweeney #felixkammerer #tobywallace #richardroxburgh #noahpink #mathiasherndl #hanszimmer #briangrazer #AGCstudios #imagineentertainment #fortecorppictures #medanpictures #nightofthezoopocalypse #ricardocurtis #rodrigoperezcastro #clivebarker #davidharbour #clowninacornfield #elicraig #katiedouglas #aaronabrams #carsonmaccormac #willsasso #kevindurand #vincentmuller

Cupcake’s favorite action filmmakers 87North (David Leitch and Kelly McCormack’s production company) return with “Nobody 2” starring Bob Odenkirk, Connie Nielson, Sharon Stone, RZA, John Ortiz, Christopher Lloyd, and Daniel Bernhardt. 87North might be having the same kind of year as BlumHouse with lackluster audience reception to previous releases Love Hurts and Ballerina. Will this action comedy sequel directed by Indo-Asian action filmmaker Timo Tjahjanto in his US debut break the bad streak? And what will WillDaBeast and Cupcake think about this second go around with Hutch and his family vacation ruined by a run-in with a female girl-boss gangster? You’ll be surprised who gives this one a “skip” (!)Meanwhile: Mike pluses his live concert experience with LCD Soundsystem (guess what? DAFT PUNK IS PLAYING AT MY HOUSE!!!) while Jose sings the praises of a previous underrated, unsung, gonzo Netflix original - 87North production: “Kate” starring Mary Elisabeth Winstead and Woody Harrelson (thinks “D.O.A.” meets “Atomic Blonde”). TAKE A HIT TO THE FACE WITH OUR NEW EPISODE!TIMESTAMPS00:00 Teaser01:45 Intro03:07 Nobody 2: Below the Line / Crew10:37 Nobody 2: Above the Line / The Cast28:23 Spoiler Free Thoughts47:07 SPOILERS AHEAD01:00:38 Mike's Plus01:04:57 Jose's Plus01:10:50 Outro- - - - - - - - - -WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS! FOLLOW/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE/REVIEW/LOVEEmail us: WatchSkipPlus@gmail.com#nobody2 #bobodenkirk #connienielsen #christopherlloyd #RZA #johnortiz #sharonstone #colinhanks #colinsalmon #danielbernhardt #derekkolstad #aaronrabin #davidleitch #kellymccormick #dominiclewis #callangreen #elisabetronaldsdottir #gregrementer #kirkjenkins #universalpictures #87North #eightytwofilms #opepartners #dentsu #odenkirkprovissieroentertainment

Savvy listeners will remember Mike reviewing this for the Annual Sundance Episode where the film, its director Michael Shanks and leads Dave Franco and Alison Brie caused a bit of much-talked-about sensation (we just won’t talk about the plagiarism lawsuit…OK, we mentioned it!).

Rai from the Gentleman’s Guide to Midnite Cinema to discuss yet another SUPERHERO film: the eagerly awaited The Fantastic Four: First Steps. The MCU is still floundering of late, far from its billion dollar a movie hey day. The ingredients are all there: Visionary director (Matt Shakman who created WandaVision), incredible cast (Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Barach, and Joseph Quinn), a retro-futuristic look, key Marvel characters (Galactus, Silver Surfer, Mole Man). Will this restore the MCU to greatness and finally herald a true vision of Marvel’s first family or is it more Kevin Feige-trickery and just a placeholder for the next (Doomsday) movie?

HOLD ONTO YOUR V*&INAS! M3GAN IS BACK….BUT IS IT AN UPGRADE? Blumhouse/Atomic Monster hit M3GAN is back with a sequel that swings so far from its horror origins the WS+ boys couldn’t review it without bringing on their YouTube brother in arms John Horgan from the “...And Now For Something a Little Bit Different” channel. Director Gerald Johnstone was clearly given free range to give us a sequel that ostensibly wants to be “Terminator 2 meets Demolition Man” but is THAT what fans of the original asked for? Is this 2.0 upgrade worth downloading? Or is all the AI/Mission Impossible/Singing and Dancing Cyborg schtick already obsolete? (Hint: one of us really HATED the genre switch with a passion)BE A DOLL…..DOWNLOAD OUR NEW EPISODE! For pluses: Mike continues the summer concert vibe with Modest Mouse on tour at the Ogden Twilight concert series while John pluses another Jon…..BON JOVI and his restaurants that address homelessness with a unique community “pay what you want” for cuisine model exclusive of the Johns’ home state - New Jersey.   TIMESTAMPS00:00 Teaser01:47 Intro06:42 M3GAN 2.0: Below the Line14:18 M3GAN 2.0: The Cast30:09 Spoiler Free Thoughts53:55 SPOILERS Ahead01:15:10 Mike's Plus01:20:51 John's Plus01:29:04 Outro- - - - - - - - - -WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS! FOLLOW/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE/REVIEW/LOVEEmail us: WatchSkipPlus@gmail.comIG: https://www.instagram.com/watchskipplus/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/watchskippluspodX: https://x.com/watchskipplusYouTube: www.youtube.com/@WatchSkipPlusDiscord: https://discord.gg/PGX4RRUe

NEW EPISODE! But uh…..WHAT HAPPENED TO 28 MONTHS? JUST JUMPED TO YEARS I SEE….*Links in bio - please check out our video episodes on Spotify and YouTubeOn an episode SO EPIC not even an exploding transformer-driven power outage could stop, the Boys welcome Rob from the UK gem of a podcast “Caliber 9 From Outer Space” to take on Danny Boyle’s return to the rage zombie-genre busting/reinvention franchise with “28 Years Later”. A third sequel…18 years later…AND a planned trilogy? Will audiences eat this up like a rage infected zombie fresh from a hunger strike or will this wholly, unexpected, world building entry piece with lots of zombie full frontal, poignant moments, and the most WTF ending in recent history drive audiences to other summer fare with dragons, aliens on aliens, and race cars? PREPARE THE SKULL CLEANING BROTH AND RAGE OUT WITH WS+! For pluses: Rob introduces us to the handheld, retro game, nostalgia bait console - the Miyoo Mini Plus which like Cupcake is “small but powerful”; Mike gives a quickie take on the remake of “How to Train Your Dragon”.   TIMESTAMPS00:00 Teaser02:00 Intro 07:20 Below the Line: The Crew25:55 Above the Line: The Cast39:03 Spoiler Free Thoughts01:02:17 SPOILERS AHEAD01:28:22 Rob's Plus01:32:04 Mike's Plus01:36:19 Outro- - - - - - - - - -WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS! FOLLOW/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE/REVIEW/LOVEEmail us: WatchSkipPlus@gmail.comIG: https://www.instagram.com/watchskipplus/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/watchskippluspodX: https://x.com/watchskipplusYouTube: www.youtube.com/@WatchSkipPlusDiscord: https://discord.gg/PGX4RRUe

SAY I DO WITH OUR NEW REVIEW OF CELINE SONG’S NEW DEUX!Ahhhhh the eternal dilemma:  Marry for true love or for your partner’s deep endless bank account! But seriously, WillDaBeast and Cupcake take on the second film “Materialists” from acclaimed director / playwright Celine Song whose debut film was the multiple critic society and Oscar nominated “Past Lives”. Her new film is an allegoric tale about love and dating in the social media/materialistic 2020’s and follows a matchmaker who has to choose between either Chris Evans or Pedro Pascal. Dakota Johnson (aka Madame Web) wrestles MIGHTILY, folks. Does Johnson bring the acting thunder to this meditation on love and superficiality and wading through dating or is this a mixed bag message that wants its fairy tale cake AND to eat its brutal, emotional warfare icing too? SWIPE RIGHT AND DATE OUR NEW EPISODE! For Plus’s: Mike reviews the Bloc Party concert tour (Silent Alarm live OR greatest hits?) while Jose double plussses Prime’s new gay identity/college shenanigans comedy show “Overcompensating” and “Cleaner”: a Die Hard clone involving…wait for it….a former ex military grunt turned high rise window cleaner who also has an autistic hacker brother who has to save hostages in an environmental terrorist takeover of a corporate launch. (yup…you read that right).  #podcast #newpodcast #movie #moviereview #moviereviewpodcast #film #filmisnotdead #cinematography #filmcritic #materialists #celinesong #dakotajohnson #chrisevans #pedropascal #marinireland #eddiecahill #sawyerspielberg #christinevachon #danielpermberton #shabierkirchner #keithfraase #anthonygasparro #A24 #2AM #killerfilms TIMESTAMPS00:00 New Chapter00:00 Teaser01:47 Intro03:31 Below the Line: The Crew11:58 Above the Line: The Cast23:30 Spoiler Free Thoughts40:50 Spoilers Ahead01:06:01 Mike's Plus01:11:47 Jose's Plus01:20:40 Outro- - - - - - - - - -WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS!

A SECOND JOHN WICK SPINOFF? ONE OF US HATED THIS S*^T!Pretty sure the pitch went like this:  “Let’s do a female John Wick with that sexy girl who was in No Time to Die…we’ll get that Underworld director; he knows how to make a female action star…guaranteed box office.” Weeeeeeellllllll….This week the Boyz take on “Ballerina: From the World of John Wick”, the second spin off (if you’ve been paying attention) from the famed, possibly never ending, but Keanu-is-getting-too-old “John Wick” franchise. Spoiler Alert: One of us coins a new level of “Skip” category and man, did that co-host ever HATE this film. GET ON POINTE…AND CHECK OUT THE NEW EPISODE! Stick around for the PLUS: Mike talks troubled Ryan Adams on tour while Jose has things to say about the Hulu Original: Predator Killer of Killers animated film. #podcast #newpodcast #movie #moviereview #moviereviewpodcast #film #cinematography #filmcritic #ballerina #fromtheworldofjohnwick #lenwiseman #anadearmas #keanureeves #ianmcshane #anjelicahuston #gabrielbyrne #catalinasandinomoreno #normanreedus #lancereddick #rilafukushima #danielbernhardt #basiliwanyk #tylerbates #joeljrichard #romainlacourbas #jeremymarinas #jacksonspidell #thunderroad #summitentertainment #87elevenentertainmentTIMESTAMPS00:00 New Chapter00:00 TEASER01:44 Intro04:45 Ballerina: Below the Line / The Crew15:49 Ballerina: Above the Line / The Cast32:09 Spoiler Free Thoughts50:44 Spoilers Ahead01:05:08 Mike's Plus - Ryan Adams live01:11:43 Jose's Plus - Predator: Killer of Killers01:19:58 Outro- - - - - - - - - -WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS!
