I’m still working on my film, Cocaine Shark and Cocaine Bear at Betty Ford’s: A Love Story. Some people at the studio are telling me the title is too long and gives away the whole story, but I’m standing firm, mostly because the title is the movie! I don’t get why they don’t get it!

[@TorbjornTheGGViking]

I find it sad that Possum left his door open and nobody came, but his house has been broken into forcefully by Bigfoot, Al E. N. Prick, the Ant guy, a historically accurate velociraptor, a ghost, three kids dressed as an irish ghost, a zombie, and the Demon.

[@markiangooley]

You leave the door open, nobody shows up, lock everything up and various things make serious efforts to break in…

I guess you felt that "why did the goblin turn on the stove?" Was a little worn out. "Why was the foot there?" That is a new instant classic. But you calling the soldier a different name each time was hilarious.

They wanted to be able to reuse the shirt for Mark Polinia's next movie the following weekend.

[@ThomasStevensontutor]

Here's a fun little detail: The microscope used to analyse pathogens is a petrographic microscope, i.e. one a geologist would use to look at rock samples. It wouldn't have enough magnifying power to let you see something as small as a living cell, let alone a virus. I assume the filmmakers are using a broken one too, because petrographic microscopes tend to be crazy expensive and found in universities. Another great review, as always! My favourite part was all the names you came up with for Knuckles/Elmo/whatever. :P

[@NathanTarantlawriter]

Great work Possum! I discovered the Palonia brothers by accident years ago and marveled at their ability to produce films and somehow make money on them regardless of quality. Their saving grace seems to have been helping others get into filmmaking. I can respect that, regardless of the quality of the movies they make. At least they (and now the remaining brother) did what they liked and seem to have made a kind of living doing it, which is ok by me. I avoid their movies, as a rule, because I just can't take the level of bad. But I do wish others would approach filmmaking with as robust an attitude as this and stop depending on creating stuff that feels creatively empty even if it cost millions to produce. I don't know if I'm explaining myself right, but as bad as the movies are, I think they did a great service and the surviving brother continues doing what he wants. I can dig that. Looking forward to the next piece of garbage!

It took me a couple of minutes to realize what was meant by that "defeating the orange blob with last-minute votes" joke was pertaining to. Well done.

[@TheWarmotor]

I actually prefer the low hanging fruit videos, my dude. Keep it up, we love you :) Also, if you look at the baseplate on the mag on that rifle, it looks to be a 9mm - which would make it a Ruger PC9, not a 10-22. A pistol-caliber carbine in 9mm would actually be a plausible weapon for a coporate security to carry. A mini-14 with tactical furniture would make more sense (or even an AR15, they're everywhere... in fact I live in Commiefornia and I own 3 of them) but if they're in some kind of enclosed facility maybe they're worried about over penetration from a rifle caliber like 5.56mm/.223? Or maybe those are just the airsoft guns Palonia had access to? AND OMG that little M3 grease gun toy at the end with the pic rail on top was ADORABLE.

[@Thor-Orion]

[@supereldinho]

Here's a really depressing thought: As bad as this movie is, even with its shoestring budget it still has better shark CGI than Jaws 3D which had an 18 million dollar budget yet they couldn't even ANIMATE the shark to move and just had a still image on the shark float to the side.

[@theblackswordsman5039]

That is depressing

[@Dreadjaws]

To be fair, this movie wouldn't have been possible the year Jaws 3D came out.

[@supme7558]

I'd like to see you take the Tech. They had back then and do better. I doubt you could.

[@supereldinho]

This has nothing to do with technology. They could've simply used stop-motion or practical effects as a substitute for CGI. John Carpenter's The Thing came out 1 year before Jaws 3D. To this day it's still lauded for having some of the best practical effects in movie history, achieved with just a 15 million dollar budget. Or let's go 1 step further: the first Terminator movie came out 1 year after Jaws 3D and its budget was just 6.4 million, just 1/3 of what Jaws 3D had. Even with that budget, the stop-motion used for the Terminator near the end is leagues above the piss-poor JPEG they used in Jaws 3D. Poor technology is no excuse for genuine incompetence.

[@Thor-Orion]

@@supereldinhoabsolutely agreed, all the Jaws movies after the first one were cash grabs and their budgets seemed like some sort of money laundering scheme considering the product on screen.

[@cacomeatballmarinara2014]

Something that bothers me to no extent is that they couldn’t even be bothered to turn off the lights or film at night, like the bare minimum to try to indicate to the audience that this isn’t a community college and somewhere at the bottom of the ocean where it’s devoid of sunlight. Like it wouldn’t make it good, but it be at least something

[@avery2041]

I want to see Mark team up with Neil Breen, get an actual decent budget and see what cinematic masterpiece they shit out because I feel l It would be terrifying

The problem is that such auteurs simply can’t collaborate. It was probably quite an effort for Mark to collaborate even with his identical twin!

[@residentantagonist5352]

Meh... Last I read, genetic studies suggest approximately 130 people crossed the Bering Strait and populated North and South America. And, now that I think about it, that study was in the news cycle recently enough that the writer/director might have read a headline about it and thought it was super deep. Taylor Sheridan wrote a whole episode of Yellowstone inspired by a headline about clover in the ground cover of grazing cattle being high during that year and causing an extra 2-5 out of a thousand cattle deaths, and somehow walked away with the impression that putting clover into hay bales would be a deadly poison to cows. So it's not implausible that this jackass added a throw away line into the... Uh... Film... Based on a headline.
