Brad and Allison review a movie about a talking cat!?!

[@karrotakun3581]

From the look on Brad's face in the thumbnail, I can already tell this film is an instant American Classic.

[@sickcxnt9444]

+seven seven seven seven seven seven seven ewww, gross!

[@RyansChannel0203]

+seven seven seven seven seven seven seven Pixels was really good though. This movie looks completely awful.

[@mannequin_A]

It looks like you guys are in front of Wonka's Chocolate Factory.

[@almightycinder]

Nobody ever goes in. Nobody ever goes out.

[@falloutghoul1]

I was expecting Slugworth to come out behind them, asking for an Everlasting Gob-Stopper.

[@MsQuail7]

It's the power plant belonging to CWLP. If you're driving around Springfield, it can be seen for miles.

[@MrDawnRise]

Or are they at the rear!?

[@Zeitgeist6]

Those smokestacks made me want to see Vital again....

[@PIXPromosMore]

Rob Schneider is........A CAT! C'mon, you're ALL thinking it...

[@FNGLHR]

And he's about to learn that being a cat ain't all that. Rob Schneider is... The Cat! Rated PG-13.

[@grahamrichardson9620]

Rob Schneider derp de derp!

[@goufr3540]

That idea is still better than Polar Shit.

[@billcasey3492]

I kind of wish Trey Parker, Matt Stone and Rob Schneider would actually make a real live action version of "The Stapler"...

[@randalgraves6979]

Seven Emerald Only Chuck Norris can be a bear. 😐

[@MegaFriendlyCreeper]

Ever since Brad tried to hammer in an environmental message with smokestacks in the background, it just hasn't been the same. Let's face it, Midnight Screenings is ruined.

[@RiverOfWetness468]

Lol what was it a reference to?

[@greasychoirboy6648]

+Jack Rose Reviews & Plays which is a reference to the Chris Bores

[@gmoney66]

It's obviously a reference to "I Rate Comic Bookz"

[@Inferno505]

Let's face it guys, this reference is ruined.

[@supergoron1]

This reference is all wet, it's completely useless now.

[@danielh.541]

If this were a Neil Breen film, this cat would have used a laptop immediately.

[@555Tbird]

Or 3.

[@alextromagnetic]

Dude, you need to watch The Sea of Trees. That is straight Breen.

[@dasuberkaiser6]

Or 3....what?

[@whatiftherewasanun]

Use your beeping machine!

[@ThatDudeWithBoobs]

Now all I can imagine is the gif of the cat slapping the fuck out of a laptop keyboard with "Shitpost Incoming" above him. I can't stop laughing, I'm on 30 hours of no sleep 🤣

[@qlipothian]

A TALKING CAT !?!

[@travelerluke5748]

a talking cat?!

[@magnos_decimus]

no

[@travelerluke5748]

+Meta Melcan a talking dog?! lol!

[@smjaiteh]

If the cat talked, the movie would have been over.

[@SporeDemigod]

Script Level: 0

[@DrGregoryHouseIT]

I know we're in the midst of '90s nostalgia, but to bring THIS kind of movie back... XD

[@RockBottomRiser21]

I'm willing to bet that watching the sky going dark in the background of this video is more compelling than the actual movie. :)

[@CMY187]

For a much better and darker cat movie, I recommend Felidae. It's a German animated murder-mystery-horror movie. And has swearing, gore, and sex. And yes, the characters are all cats. I'm still waiting for Brad to do a Snob episode on it.

[@markiangooley]

I loved the book... Must see the movie if I can.

[@humanconvertile]

If I wanted to watch cats fuck, I'd watch those creepy British guys who are obviously masturbating to cheetahs mating, or maybe just the Lion King.

[@redactedredacted6656]

I really hope one of the author's more recent films would get made into films.That would be both hilariously and disturbing.

[@IkeFoxbrush]

Yes, that movie is really good, it is based on a novel that was so successful they decided to make a movie of it, which is pretty rare for a German book.

[@mastermarkus5307]

Yeah, I think the book is even better than the movie, and it's one of my favourites _ever_ so it's a shame that Akif Pirincci is now almost like a fucking Nazi. _Felidae_ doesn't read as being remotely prejudiced or pushing a political agenda, so I'm not sure when Pririncci went off the rails.

[@thunderphoenix440]

I'd like to think that this was, like, a family drama or something, and then Christopher Walken wandered on set and turned Kevin Spacey into a cat for real, and they had to change the script.

[@MrDawnRise]

There's a lot of light for midnight.

[@StonedGremlinProductions]

These prescreenings haven't been at midnight since the summer of 2012.

[@MrDawnRise]

Oh okay, guys just love the name then? That's cool. P.s. You guys inspired me to purchase Pringles from Japan.

[@seanrichards5912]

Have you seen Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny (1972)

[@whatiftherewasanun]

How about no? :)

[@randalgraves6979]

@@seanrichards5912yes they did. Same day as Krampus. There’s MS’s of both

[@MaximumMadnessStixon]

I work at a movie theater, and a woman came up to me today and actually yelled at me over us not getting this. (Because apparently she drove from the other big theater in the county and they didn't get it either) She then rolled her eyes and left after she asked what new movies we had this week and I responded "Suicide Squad." LADY! You have NO RIGHT to roll your eyes at another film if you came into a movie theater and unironically asked for a ticket to "Nine-Fucking-Lives"!

[@SuperCosmicMutantSquid]

Maybe when the son said 'first and last jump' he meant that because his father no longer was in charge of the building, this jump was going to be his only chance while the family still had ties to it. I agree with Brad on it; if he were planning on killing himself 100% he would not have been wearing a parachute and giving the connection between Spacey and the building, the final jump was just his final chance to do a stunt like this before he could have been barred from doing so. It makes you realize how badly the line was given. I know its sort of a heavy subject but if they wanted to imply the kid was going to kill himself, they would have been more vague on the jump or even more so, have Spacey KNOW he didn't mean he was going to off himself but rather Spacey goes to see his son actually base-jump but an accident happens where his son nearly is unable to pull the cord to the chute and Spacey does the sacrifice by helping him open it?

[@Agent57000DM]

I just watched Chris Stuckmann's review for this, which is basically "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! FFFFFFUUUUUCCCCCKKKKK!!!!!11111"

[@Skyswindler]

That's a pretty accurate description

[@JustinSimpson]

I agree 200% with Chris Stuckmann

[@drakkenmensch]

When a review opens with a sunset "What am I doing with my life?" scene, you know you're in for something awful on an epic scale.

[@RaeAnne-02]

+Justin Simpson me to

[@29AndreG]

Why did he go see it anyway?

[@DragonslayerProd]

#NineLivesMatter

[@Tenebyss]

I love just how honest the trailer is about how clichéd this premise is

[@user-mi4rm7ih6s]

I think this film is more self-aware than anyone realizes. The question is whether it is a cynical cash-grab or a brilliant deconstruction with the joke being on the audience a la Showgirls.

[@user-mi4rm7ih6s]

TheDreReichDude Famed critic Jonathan Rosenbaum and the late Jacques Rivette were huge fans of the film, and it's no secret that Paul Verhoeven is just as much of a satirist as he is a filmmaker, for better or for worse. I haven't seen it myself but I have friends that love it.

[@adj789]

Meta jokes

[@user-mi4rm7ih6s]

TheDreReichDude Come to think of it I don't think I've seen any Verhoeven film. I should probably get on that. Rivette's awesome, he was one of the big French New Wave directors along with Godard and Truffaut, but his style (from what I've seen) is much more carefree and silly than theirs.

[@herschalshep]

That's the problem with making a parody or deconstruction. You have to be able to make it clear that you're doing so without explicitly saying it. Otherwise you end up in a situation where you're basically playing everything straight and going "lol, parody!". It's like a game that claims to deconstruct violence by just being violent and having nothing to say about it.

[@JustinSimpson]

No one can say you were paid by Dogs to hate this movie, or you're just a Dog fan boy, because you have Lloyd and Chloë. 🐱🐱

[@MontyPythonFanatic2]

He hates this cat because it's doing things cats aren't supposed to do and ruins the public image that cat people have been cultivating for years of cats that are helpless and require our assistance to survive. Cat people hate cats they can't control. (joke)

Cats actually don't splatter when dropped off of a smaller end skyscraper, there legs relax when they reach terminal velocity so their legs shatter instead of the rest of their bodies

[@wraitsoth]

The way you guys describe this movie it sounds like fucking Ghost Dad

[@AnimatedIdiotGuide]

Ghost Dad sounds like Citizen Kane compared to this movie. XD

[@TommyDeonauthsArchives]

badmotorhead Margot Robbie is better than Kate McKinnon because [Insert potshot against Ghostbusters 2016 here].

[@seanriggen]

THIS IS THE BEST ONE BY FAR,the framing you got in this shot is way fuckin cool,you got the front seat, the back seat and perfect view of outside out the back window(multi-dimensional) and to top it off you have smoke belching out of the factory smoke stack,humans human-ing and day turning into night in the background while you do the review,it's like the slow version of the part of the movie with the sped up clouds.dude this was like a mini movie, with your review and the stuff going on outside, no joke fuckin awsome! SKINEMA SLOB SUPERGENIOSITY!

[@talynhastime9343]

Why was this film made. Why. Christopher Walken, who blackmailed you to be in this film. Are you okay? DO YOU NEED ASSISTANCE, SIR.

[@wolfgangervin2582]

Admit it: a movie with Walken as an insane magic man with Lil Bub as his ailen cat companion would be hilarious.

[@Firestar4041]

I think you have it the other way around. What kinda blackmail does Christopher Walken have to get everyone to sign up for this? We all know hes the real master mind...

[@RichardWatt]

​@@Firestar4041I Don't Know.

[@SImmons3128]

you just don't like this movie because it's a political cat movie

Yeah, it pushes its overly Demo-cat-ic message a bit too hard.

You live in Springfield -- is that the Nuclear Plant behind you? :)

[@RichardWatt]

No - that one has chimneys. Nuclear plants have more cooling towers.

[@MusicGeekery]

You were right about the age difference: Garner is 44, Spacey is 57. And so far no children to speak of from Spacey. I am morbidly curious about this film. Doubt it'll be in any of the cinemas near me though. Doesn't seem typical fare for them

[@anikmonette2140]

Drahauk Netflix has it...

[@KevinVideo]

Looking it up, "Big Man on Campus" was apparently released to American Cinemateque theaters in 1989, but hit home video in 1990.

[@randalgraves6979]

I saw it on Comedy Central in the late 90s.

[@noahmcclintock5866]

I knew from the day the film was announced that it was going to be garbage. And I was right. I especially loved Chris Stuckmann's review of it.

[@DoctorOralTheSexyBoss]

I guess Kevin Spacey really needs the money, if he's resorted to doing a movie like this.

[@lcdstudios]

Yes, and it's going well.

[@abbynormal8702]

No, Kevin Spacy wanted a Razzie and Jennifer Garner wanted another one.

[@nowaxtheory]

I'm putting my money on blackmail!

[@MorrisseyMuse]

The last good thing he was in is Usual Suspects sadly

[@TommyDeonauthsArchives]

+Jack Rose Reviews & Plays I don't watch the show, but I'll hazard a guess that it's been renewed.

[@CCscorsese]

I'd never heard of "Oh! Heavenly Dog," so I just assumed you guys meant The Shaggy Dog, because that's exactly what this movie looked like to me lol

[@wolftitanreading5308]

nope watch a cinema snob review its a benji movie and im not kidding

[@KevinVideo]

It's a terrible Chevy Chase movie.

[@luffyduffy7817]

"It all worked out for Kevin Spacey" Meanwhile in 2018...

[@irishman6414]

The first Spy Kids is fine. It's dumb and cheap looking, but it's totally harmless. The sequels are just eye-stabbingly awful.

[@KlutzDeluxe]

The 3rd one was an experience.

[@ebselonnaught8660]

+ShardofBrokenGlass You don't just watch it, you EXPERIENCE it.

[@godzillasaurbuttersworth3176]

The second one was p good. Lots of great Steve Bushemi moments

ShardofBrokenGlass I agree. It's the experience of inserting barb wire into one's urethra.

[@WeCareAlot4693]

You badmouthing spy kids 3, bro??? You don't like Stallone, bro?!

[@AdudenamedKemp]

I enjoy Midnight Screenings quite a bit, but I wish you guys would explain the plot of movies better. What is Spacey's character's job? What about Consuelos'? Or Walken's? When/why does he get turned into a cat? Why does he get turned back? The answers to some of these questions might be scattered around the 43 minutes of video, but the premise is never concisely stated. I usually listen to/watch the MS videos in the background, but I often feel very lost, especially since you guys like to focus on very specific moments in the story. I know, it's a stupid movie and I can just look all this stuff up, but it'd be nice to bring us up to speed.

[@TheKML777]

Wait, there's a villain in this movie? Isn't that a bit unnecessary?

[@ebselonnaught8660]

This entire movie is unnecessary.

[@matthias_samahl1266]

Dancing as a cgi cat is still the creepiest thing Kevin Spacey has done.

[@skykid3000]

I guess we know why that scene with the Ink splatting on Bush's picture is on there now.

[@trinidadbotello9906]

I been waiting for this review.

[@TreClaire]

I'm so excited you guys saw this, I heard about the kid and cat jumping off the building but nothing else and I was like WHHAATTT?? I had to know more! I knew you guys would explain it! Bless!!

[@hingeslevers]

Wearing headphones, it's the trippiest background noise. Wish had a longer loop of that without voices.

[@everythingfangirl4532]

My mom and I were watching tv and saw an ad for this movie. She thought it would be cute & good and I said it wouldn't. She asked me why; I said, "Mom, it's a movie about a guy who gets turned into a cat to spend time with his kids. You tell me right now, is this movie going to bomb?" She looked down and said, "Oh yeah."

[@liamjohnson8950]

Business meetings and suicide?! You know for kids!

[@KaristaSwiss]

Yes research how it got made :L-)

[@dougputhoff]

At least the Grumpy Cat movie didn't take itself seriously.

[@fortblocks]

[@Campbellzilla]

To answer your question Big Man on Campus was produced by Vestron Pictures who went bakrupt around 1989 after the release of Little Monsters and many of their porjects were either picked up for Turnaround like the Kathyrn Bigelow directed thriller Blue Steel with Jamie Lee Curtis and Ron Silver which was released by MGM, and others like Hider in the House were picked up by lower tier home video distributors. From what I could find Big Man on Campus was given a very limited theatrical engagement by American Cinematheque sometime in march of 1989 then released on VHS by Live Entertainment.

[@MysteryMii]

This film is literally "A Talking Cat!?!" if it had a multi-million dollar budget, and took place in New York City.

[@dougputhoff]

This is Kevin Spacey in a Rob Schneider lead role. "Kevin Spacey is a cat!"

[@piplup2009]

I see it's that time of the year where it's bright as hell at midnight

MY GOD. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS EVER SINCE I SAW THE TRAILER.

[@MikePhalin]

19:22 My friend Jeanie and I did the same thing during the leukemia reveal when we saw 'A Walk to Remember' in theatres, but it was a packed house. A few other people quietly chuckled as well. I can't really remember what the context was that made it funny. Perhaps because the tragedy was almost predictable?

[@tomvalentino8802]

Before looking at the thumbnail, I just saw the title of the video and said "Please have Lupa in this."

[@drfumbles1598]

Ive been looking forward to this review :)

[@cg-rf7lo]

The one thing I can say about this movie is that it is EXACTLY what the trailer tries selling. So I can't really see anyone who liked the trailer walking out disappointed.

[@wjzav1971]

The way you described it, that movie sounds unintentionally hilarious.

[@fyphfoko]

about 2:00 why didn't they film that joke, but with the current president instead then?

That would require effort. And getting Trump's cooperation.

I'm convinced that all the main actors and directors of this film made it as an experiment in creating a so bad its good movie, where the intention to do so wasn't as obvious as it is with other movies like sharknado.

[@iguanian]

The Bush joke might be a reference to House of Cards, since Spacey was president in that show?

[@StonedGremlinProductions]

It's not.

[@nightinthetwilight]

You guys are talking about a time capsule theatre from the 2000s. Meanwhile my hometown's only theatre still has glitter ceiling and carpet from the 70's. And arcade games that have been there as long as I can remember. They recently took out the shell phone booth which was a little sad. But no one really uses pay phones anymore. Even theatres that don't have to change because they have a monopoly.

[@coolnerdlll6053]

I got the trailer for this in front of Finding Dory. I was nine years old and even then I knew what I was seeing was horrible.

[@PrivateIronTFU]

You know a movie's bad when all I can think about when watching the video is. "Where the hell are they that there's a bunch of giant smokestacks in the background?"

[@iBolt07]
